My Pulp Fiction collection (NEW: Fruit Brute cereal box)

[Buch]

Been wanting to start a thread about my still-small-but-growing 'Pulp Fiction' prop collection

First item to show off is my version of Zed's keys:



Before searching for the keys, I started reading the excellent research threads on here about this specific prop, which was a great help! Learned a lot! This version of the bundle, which is seen on the counter of the pawn shop after the rape scene consists of 4 keys:

1) A Kwikset "lookalike" house key with 'FITS KW1 1167' stamping (Very rare, and tough to find!)
2) A barrel key for vending machines or possibly motorcycles with a square steel bow (rounded corners and a round hole) and a brass tip (Fairly difficult to find too!)
3) A small brass key with oval bow (Key model CO106 is a close match)
4) A Master Lock padlock key

This is the screenused bundle:



No doubt the FITS KW1 1176 key is the most difficult to find. Besides the one above, which is in perfect condition and a pretty close match to the screenused one, I managed to find quite a few other candidates. Each have their pros and cons:



Later in the movie, when Butch 'borrows' Zed's chopper he sticks a key in the ignition, which is different fro the keys seen in the 'Pawn shop counter bundle'. The key has a distinct shape, a textured surface and transposed writing that looks like the words 'Harley Davidson'. Not the best screenshot below. Watching the ignition sequence in 4K will give a better look:



I managed to find what appears to be a very close match:



That's all for now folks! More will follow

I recently, at random, came across the kangaroo caddy thing Bruce Willis uses to hang his dad's watch on at Goodwill for a steal.

Another prop from the collection. A very fine vintage copy of Vincent's preferred toilet literature: Peter O'Donnell's 'Modesty Blaise':

Another funny little thing for the collection: Lance's cereal box 'Fruit Brute'. Actually discontinued at the time of filming. Appears in 'Reservoir Dogs' too. This is a replica that I made from a high res scan of an original vintage box

Thanks! Yeah, the Fruit Brute is kinda part of the Tarantino universe so I felt that I definitely needed one for the collection. Love the vintage design of the box too. I'm getting another version from a seller on ebay... excited to see the quality! Will post about it
