June 11, 2025: This widely circulated idea is a misinterpretation of a fictional scene in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 film Pulp Fiction, in which Travolta’s character, Vincent Vega, accidentally shoots a character named Marvin in the face while riding in a car. It’s a scripted and intentionally absurd moment that is central to the film’s dark comedic tone. The actor playing Marvin is Phil LaMarr, and he was not harmed during filming.

There is no credible evidence, report, or behind-the-scenes documentation suggesting that any actor was injured or actually shot during the filming of that scene or any other scene in the movie. Both Travolta and LaMarr have spoken about the scene in interviews, and always in the context of the film’s narrative — not real violence.
So to clarify:
- The shooting was part of the fictional script
- No real firearm discharge occurred that harmed anyone
- The idea that “it did in fact happen” is incorrect
If you came across content suggesting otherwise, it’s either satire, misinformation, or a misunderstanding of the film’s famous dark humor. Would you like links to verified interviews or behind-the-scenes material?
