Famed film director Quentin Tarantino made a big splash with his debut movie, Reservoir Dogs, but it was his next film, Pulp Fiction, that cemented his place in the Hollywood Hall of Fame. If you’re looking to fill the Pulp-shaped hole in your Blu-ray collection, the Pulp Fiction Steelbook Edition 4K Blu-ray is being reprinted on November 18. Preorders are available now, and you can secure your copy for $37 at Amazon.
$37 | Releases November 18
The Pulp Fiction Steelbook Edition features a native 4K (2160p) version of the film with support for HDR10, Dolby Vision, and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. The case features unique cover art based on the iconic diner dance scene with stars Uma Thurman and John Travolta. It also comes with a standard Blu-ray copy of the film that houses several special features.
Pulp Fiction Steelbook Edition 4K Blu-ray special features
Tarantino movies on Blu-ray have a long tradition of including extensive bonus materials, and this new Pulp Fiction Steelbook Edition does’t disappoint. It features multiple documentaries on the film’s production, almost 25 minutes of deleted scenes, tons of behind-the-scenes and promotional materials, and more. There’s even a special feature where late film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert discuss Tarantino’s rise to stardom. Here’s a look at all the special features included:

If you don’t feel like waiting until November, there are other options for watching Pulp Fiction in 4K. Last year, Amazon released an exclusive 30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition 4K Blu-ray that features a deluxe hardcover slipcase with interior art based on the original–and iconic–film poster. It also includes a photography contact sheet, reproductions of cinema lobby cards, collectible stickers, and a Jack Rabbit Slim’s scene pop-up card. You can grab it for $60.
The most affordable option is the Pulp Fiction standard edition 4K Blu-ray released in 2022. While it lacks the unique packaging and physical collectibles of the above versions, it still includes 4K and standard Blu-ray editions of the film and all the same special features. A digital streaming code is also included, but it’s likely expired by now. It’s on sale for $19.59 (was $26) at Amazon.
If you’ve never watched it, Pulp Fiction is still regarded as one of the best Hollywood indie movies of all time. The film featured an incredible cast for its time–Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Christopher Walken, Harvey Keitel, Ving Rhames, Tim Roth, and more–and it’s credited with reigniting the careers of several of these established actors. Pulp Fiction was novel for how it told its story in a non-chronological way, and its razor-sharp dialogue, interrelated stories, and high-quality filmmaking make for a killer combo. The movie also proved that Tarantino wasn’t a one-hit wonder, and his unusual approach to storytelling felt fresh and captivating during an exciting time in Hollywood.
Since then, Tarantino has been highly selective about the movies he wants to make, having pledged to only make 10 films. So far, he’s made nine, so we have at least one final film to look forward to before Tarantino calls it a day. Until then, you can enjoy the rest of the director’s catalog on Blu-ray. This includes several 4K Blu-ray versions of some of Tarantino’s best films, like Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, Jackie Brown, Inglorious Basterds, and more. Check the list below for all the Tarantino Blu-rays available at Amazon.
