There is a persistent myth that that all the clocks in the movie are set to 4:20 (although, certainly all the clocks on the wall in the pawn shop are set to 4:20). However, in at least two scenes it is obvious that this is not the case. In the "Bonnie Situation" while Jimmy, Vince and Jules are drinking coffee in the kitchen, the clock clearly reads 8:15. Secondly, when Vince and Jules go to retrieve the briefcase, it is "7:22 in the a.m.". The significance of the time 4:20 is that it is slang for smoking marijuana.

...and i was thinking that one was true. pulp fiction's one of my favorite movies. there's alot of crazy myths floating around as to what was in that briefcase. -M

Well let me see if I can find some info on the briefcase. What do you think was in there?

Polar bears skin : True
These guard hairs are like drinking straws and are clear-colored (not white). The white-looking coat camouflages them well in the snow and ice. Under the fur, Polar Bears have black skin.

Tarantino has admitted that there is no official explanation behind the briefcase's contents, and that it was simply written into the screen play as an intriguing McGuffin.
And from Rober Ebert's Questions for the Movie Answer Man comes the following statement by Pulp Fiction co-author Roger Avery:


Originally the briefcase contained diamonds. But that just seemed too boring and predictable. So it was decided that the contents of the briefcase were never to be seen.

most clocks in advertisements are set to 10:10 so as to show most printing of the face of the clock. interestingly, digital clocks in advertisements more often than not show 10:10 as well...

Actually, it's so that the clock appears to be smiling.

It's a subliminal thing.
