Bob Koherr directed this predictable parody of
Quentin Tarantino's
Pulp Fiction, offering variations on the film's familiar scenes, plus satirical jabs at other titles, including
Reservoir Dogs,
Natural Born Killers,
Forrest Gump and
Nell.
Tarantino's hit men are replaced here with exterminators Jimmy (
Paul Dinello) and Julius (
Tommy Davidson). Subbing for Marsellus and coke addict Mia are compulsive eater Mimi (
Julie Brown) and her husband Montello (
Robert Costanzo). Instead of coffee-shop thieves Honey Bunny and Pumpkin, writer wannabe Bunny Roberts (
Sandra Bernhard) arrives with the Forrest Gump-like Bumpkin (
Dan Castellaneta). Psychos Nicky (
Matthew Glave) and Vallory (
Pamela Segall) disrupt the criss-crossing storylines, and so do nuns with guns. At the Independent Cafe, employees are costumed like various characters from independent films. The talented
Juliette Lewis is mocked by
Pamela Segall in a re-creation of a
Natural Born Killers scene, and
Kane Picoy impersonates
Christopher Walken. When
Plump Fiction played theatrically, it was accompanied by a three-minute short film
Swing Blade (a spoof of
Swingers and
Sling Blade).
