Kurt Cobain Was Supposed To Be In Pulp Fiction. Tarantino Narrowly Avoids A Catastrophic Disaster

A recent report was circling the internet saying that in Pulp Fiction the guy who sells John Travolta (Vincent Vega) heroin was supposed to be cast by none other than the King of Grunge and the role model of all angst ridden emos Kurt Cobain. Although now looking back everyone is probably thinking wow that would've been bananas! I'm here to actually tell you that this could have torpedoed the movie and pushed an already deeply disturbed man in Quentin Tarantino over the edge.



  • For one thing, how about the balls on Tarantino deciding that it would be a good idea to ask one of the most famous heroin addicts in history if he wants to be a heroin dealer in his movie? This is honestly like if the director of Schindler's list asked Adolf Hitler if he would be interested in being in the movie.  Hey Kurt I hear your heroin addiction is crippling your life and destroying your family! Wanna play a heroin dealer in my movie? Then again I don't know if I should question the mental wellness of a guy who poses for pictures like these



Remember Pigeonman from Hey Arnold? Man that guy had issues



  • OK lets say he cast Kurt as the heroin dealer, how do you make him show up on time for scenes and make sure hes not stoned as hell. I mean would he bring in his own heroin for the scenes hes shooting? How would that work I mean I guess it would save some money for props. Like "Hey Quentin we need that fake Heroin for the upcoming scene"  "Don't worry about it dude Kurts bringing in a half pound of blue magic"
This guy looks like he'd take a role really seriously. 


I felt obligated to put this scene in since we're talking about Pulp Fiction. Really goes under the radar that big Sam went with Jerry curls in this movie. Pretty much an angry, black oppressed version of Cosmo Kramer






  • PS: Imagine Kurt Cobain and Samuel L Jackson in the same room together?  That's a Chapelle Show skit just begging to be created. Black guys and Nirvana going together like lamb and tunafish since day one.
