“Any of you f**king pricks move, and I’ll execute every motherf**king last one of ya!” remains one of cinema’s greatest line readings, but Amanda Plummer’s Honey Bunny and her on-screen fella Pumpkin, played by Tim Roth, are spectacular even before the line smashes the film into Dick Dale’s “Misirlou” and Pulp Fiction’s opening credits. Played by: Amanda Plummer and Tim Roth in Pulp Fictionīecause we would hardly dream of splitting them up. But at least she died as she lived: pissing off very unremarkable men. There’s a real pleasure in watching her kick back with a bong or answer the door with a bothered “WHAT!”, even if it does lead her to a grim demise in a shopping mall parking lot. But through Trudi, and her overjoyed glee at being thrown to the ground while shooting a tense face-off scene involving her on-screen abductor, Tarantino reflects the pure, heady thrill of movie-making, and it’s glorious to behold.Ī SoCal surfer girl bored out of her mind by the men she’s holed up with, Bridget Fonda’s Melanie only works because every one of her lines drips with scorn and apathy. Like much of the film that surrounds her, Trudi is a fantasy version of a child star – safe, in total charge of her own destiny and far smarter than many of the adults that surround her, including the has-been actor (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) she is paired with in her latest project.
