Pulp Fiction is a 1994 American neo-noir crime black comedy film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, from a story by Tarantino and Roger Avary.
Asked by UT-7. (Oct 17 05 11:24 AM) It refers to the type of tough-guy stories published in the pulp magazines that were in their heyday in the 30's. They were often lurid crime stories (though other genres, such as Westerns and sci-fi also appeared) and Tarantino was filming similar stories, hence the title.
