"Having this classic, timeless effect, that's something that has to be discovered on its own," Travolta said of the film's lasting legacy in a TCM video shared on X, before he was surprised by fellow actor Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, who starred on the sitcom "Welcome Back, Kotter" with Travolta.

"Pulp Fiction," a crime drama directed by Quentin Tarantino, was first released in October 1994 and has since become a cult classic.

Both Travolta and Jackson played hitmen in "Pulp Fiction," with Travolta as Vincent Vega and Jackson as Jules Winnfield. Thurman portrayed Mia Wallace, the wife of Ving Rhames' crime boss character Marsellus Wallace and Keitel was the fixer Winston Wolf.
