Fans discuss the idea of editing The Betrayal episode to play in chronological order rather than backwards, with some finding it an interesting creative exercise similar to reordering Pulp Fiction.
Just wondering if anyone has ried to edit the backwarsd episode to make it run correctly form beginning to end. I have been contemplating the idea since I have some free time on my hands. Just wondering what everyone thinks of this idea.

I've thought of trying to put the scenes of "Pulp Fiction" in cronological order. (For those who've never seen it, scenes in the movie jump forward and backward.) I suppose part of the fun of the movie is figuring out just where each scene fits into the story, but it may be interesting to see it as a straight narrative.

That would be interesting. I am told that, through the window, you can see Bruce ride the motorcycle past the restaurant when the robbery is taking place. Nice intertwined plot (like most Seinfelds).
I dont think that can happen. Travolta is dead at that point of the movie. The News Guy(Mike) wrote in message ...

Nice

You're right. I will watch carefully and see if it is true - that would be an inconsistency if it is there.
Guess I should have been more clear, the flashbacks are in chronological order in front of Part I, and then Part II. So basically, the entire thing is in order :)

Oh!! I get it now, you're still talking about Pulp Fiction! My mistake.
Please Forgive.

I know The Godfather: The Complete Epic put the flashbacks from Part II in the beginning. It made it much easier to follow :)

I've been thinking about it ever since I saw the episode last week for the first time! I have a video editing system with Premiere, and it would be a cynch!
I've been thinking about rewriting "Catch 22" in cronological order... Though indeed interesting, the story would lose some of its charm. With The Betrayal I believe the idea is more suitable. Of course, some of the stuff (like Kramer's lollipop) relies heavily on the backwards concept, but they're no part of the actual story so it could work.

Hey all,
I'm new to the group.
Anyway, back to Pulp Fiction... Actually in the Diner hold up scene at the end, if you watch carefully, you can hear Jules and Vincent arguing muffled in the background (shortly after "Garcon! Coffee!"). Then, as the camera is on Yolanda (Honey Bunny), you see Vincent on his trip to the bathroom.
On a side note: When Butch (Bruce Willis) kills Travolta, he uses Marcelus' gun. Marcelus is on the corner getting coffee for himself and Vincent. Vincent was pretty damb dumb, but he wouldn't leave his gun on the counter. Besides, he had his favorite piece strapped to his chest.
