Tatrantino uses referances to other films to add to the postmodern theme. This relies on the contexual understanding of the audience however, as they may not been understood if not watched. This picture shows link between two films because of
Mia's classic 'bobbed' haircut styled after Louise Brooks in Pandora's Box (1928 G.W. Pabst)
Reference to Marilyn Monroe's skirt flying up over a subway grating in The Seven Year Itch (1955 Billy Wilder)
When Butch considers saves Marcellus he takes great consideration in choosing a weapon. If this wasn't aimed to be postmodern the more realistic thing to do would be to grab the nearest thing to him. These weapons all have interlinks with other films:
Hammer — The Toolbox Murders (1978)
Baseball bat—Walking Tall (1973)
Chainsaw — The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
