John Travolta in Pulp Fiction and Battlefield Earth
The Big Picture In the late 1970s, few actors were more popular than John Travolta. With his good looks, slicked-back hair, chiseled chin, and impressive dance moves, Travolta showed that he could do it all and looked to be Hollywood’s next big leading man. And for a little while he was.
Release Date September 10, 1994 Director Quentin Tarantino Cast John Travolta , Samuel L. Jackson , Tim Roth , Amanda Plummer , Eric Stoltz , Bruce Willis Writers Quentin Tarantino , Roger Avary 'Blow Out' Showed That John Travolta Could Do More Than Sing and Dance Looking back on it, that was the time Travolta should have looked to set his career on a different path than it had been on.
Watching Travolta in 1994’s Pulp Fiction, you would have thought the role was written with him in mind; that’s how seamlessly he makes it his own. With his long black hair and black suit, Travolta looked cool again. There was his little dance scene with Uma Thurman to show that he had never lost his old moves, and his chemistry with co-star Samuel L. Jackson was palpable. There was also that acting range, which is more subtle and quiet, and not a smiling and charming ladies' man.
The second chance that Travolta had rightfully earned with his charisma and acting ability was gone in a flash. Travolta had taken the career resurgence handed to him and squandered it by flying too close to the sun and assuming that an outlandish film would work just because everything else was. Suddenly, everything was much worse than just being known as the guy who played second fiddle to talking babies. People were talking more about his religious affiliations than his work.
