Plump Fiction is a 1997 parody film that parodies violent films of the 90s, mostly parodying Film/PulpFiction.
The film has four intersecting plot lines, each parodying a different film: In a parody of the first segment of Film/PulpFiction, exterminator Jimmy Nova is tasked with spending some time with his boss’ wife. In a parody of Film/ReservoirDogs, a group of strippers who work for Jimmy’s boss make plans to rob him while disguised as nuns. In a parody of Film/NaturalBornKillers, a pair of tag team wrestlers who are lovers steal the exact same boss’ briefcase. All the while, someone tries to deliver the only copy of a violent film script to a CaptainErsatz of Creator/QuentinTarantino.
!! This film provides examples of:
* AnachronicOrder: The film is shown out of order, just like Film/PulpFiction. Priscilla: Queen of the Desserts lampshades this at the end of the film.
** [[spoiler: In universe, when Bumpkin finally arrives to deliver the script to Crispin, it’s all out of order. Luckily, Crispin is a CaptainErsatz of Creator/QuentinTarantino, and the script is eligible to be used.]]
* BaitAndSwitch: At Aimee point in the film, we see what appears to be a recreation of the opening to Film/ReservoirDogs, [[spoiler: but then it turns into a parody of Series/TheMonkees intro]]
* BigEater: If there’s anything Mimi likes, it’s food.
* BigNo: Jimmy makes one when he sees Mimi eating his eclair.
* BrainlessBeauty: Mimi, much to Jimmy’s chagrin.
* CaptainErsatz: Almost everyone in the film is meant to parody someone.
* CloudCuckooLander: Some of the characters, but the biggest is Mimi.
* ExactWords: [[spoiler: When it’s revealed that Montello’s briefcase contains a possibly valuable Series/WelcomeBackKotter lunchbox, the Natural Blonde Killers tell Julius that they’re taking the box. Julius agrees to let them have the box... and then helps himself to the stack of money that’s inside of it. If the wrestlers told Julius to let them have the box AND what was inside of it, this wouldn’t have happened.]]
* TheFool: Mimi, Nicky, Nell the Gimp, and Bumpkin.
* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: In a parody of the famous scene from Pulp Fiction, Mimi accidentally shoots the stuffed penguin that the nuns planned on hiding the stolen money in, scaring the nuns that are also in the backseat out of the car, completely unharmed.
* InsaneTrollLogic: When Mimi shoots one of the nuns, and Jimmy calls her out on this, completely forgetting that she wasn’t actually a nun, Mimi tries to correct him by saying that she said she had a boyfriend.
* MacGuffin: Just like Film/PulpFiction, it’s Montello’s briefcase, the contents of which are unknown [[spoiler: until the end of the film, where it’s contents are revealed to be a Series/WelcomeBackKotter lunchbox, and some orange glow sticks. Also, the lunchbox contains a stack of money.]]
* NearDeathExperience: Played for Laughs in a parody of the scene from Pulp Fiction where Mia overdoses and nearly dies. Here, the stress of being unable to unwrap some chocolate somehow causes Mimi to pass out, forcing Viv, Les, and Jimmy to save her.
** Also, one of the nuns is shot, and nearly bleeds to death, but Kandi/Sister Mary doesn’t have any intent in getting her to a hospital since it’s not part of the plan.
* NoodleIncident: It is explained at the beginning of the film that something happened to someone who was with Mimi after she ate Mexican food, which makes it important that she not eat it. [[spoiler: Although, we eventually learn what happens: her hair somehow grows and she speaks with a Spanish accent, as well as act seductive.]]
* ParodyNames: Many of the [[CaptainErsatz Captain Ersatzes]] have names that parody the names of the characters they’re parodying.
* RandomEventsPlot: There are several plotlines, and no overarching story, and in 3 of the plotlines, at least one main character dies.
* RunningGag: A literal one throughout the film has Bumpkin racing to deliver the only copy of a violent film script to Crispin Maraschimo. Sometimes, he’ll bump into one of the other characters, and drop the script pages, and then whoever he bumped into will coldly tell him to watch where he’s going. There are no page numbers on the script pages, and Bumpkin has a hard time getting everything in the right order, and [[spoiler: when he finally arrives at the end of the film, the script has become a [[AnachronicOrder convoluted mess]]. Luckily, Crispin loves it, and the script is used the way it is.]]
** Early on in the film, it is shown that Jimmy Nova seems to know what things are called in different areas of the world, which is Justified as he’s been in Europe for a while. Sadly, it’s never brought up again after Jimmy asks Montello if he knows what cockroaches are called in Botswana.
* SassyBlackWoman: Sister Sledge is black.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After Jimmy And Julius are almost shot dead by Nicky and Vallory, the latter decides to quit working for Montello and storms off. [[spoiler: Not that it stops him from exterminating anyway, as he does a job at the end of the film.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The name of the female half of the Natural Blonde Killers is pronounced like Valerie, but spelled like Mallory, but with a V instead of an M.
* TakeThat: A CaptainErsatz of Creator/SpikeLee complains about who would want to watch films from a director like him.
* TheMole: When the cops are called on the nuns, they all suspect that one of them is trying to betray them. [[spoiler: Then it turns out that none of them have seen Sister Betrille strip at all in their lives.]]
* WholePlotReference:
**One of the plotlines parodies the segment of Film/PulpFiction where Vincent Vega spends time with his boss’ wife while he’s away.
**Another plotline has a bunch of strippers trying to rob their boss, which looks reminiscent of Film/ReservoirDogs, with nuns involved.
**There’s also a plotline involving tag team wrestlers with a name similar to the film Film/NaturalBornKillers, mixed with “The Gold Watch”, the second segment of Film/PulpFiction.
