  "Mia Wallace's $5 Shake" (Inspired by "Pulp Fiction") By: The Film Bartender      "Pulp Fiction" is perhaps one of the most influential films of all time for modern filmmakers. Not only did writer & director Quentin Tarantino deliver an amazing film for his second outing, but it pushed the boundaries of what was allowed on screen for indie filmmakers. This includes graphic language, glorified drug use, gruesome violence, and strong sexual content. Perhaps one of the most quotable scenes in the film is in the second part of this movie, when Vincent take Mia to a restaurant that honors the older times in American society.

  "Mia's Adrenaline Shot" (Inspired by "Pulp Fiction") By: The Film Bartender     "Pulp Fiction" is perhaps one of the most influential films of all time for modern filmmakers. Not only did writer & director Quentin Tarantino deliver an amazing film for his second outing, but it pushed the boundaries of what was allowed on screen for indie filmmakers. This includes graphic language, glorified drug use, gruesome violence, and strong sexual content. One of the most shocking scenes in the film is when Mia Wallace overdoses after mistaking heroin for cocaine, causing her to bleed out of her nose and foam at the mouth.
