The film "Pulp Fiction" was shot in Los Angeles, California, USA. This city is often chosen for convenience, as Hollywood is located here, many actors live, and there is a fully ready infrastructure for filming. But convenience is clearly not Quentin Tarantino's approach. The film was made with a huge number of references, and the choice of city is also a reference to the Wild West, where there was no police and complete lawlessness reigned.
