Travolta had no career going for about a decade after the Grease/Urban Cowboy/ Stayin Alive/Sat. Night Fever era was over. Pulp Fiction jump started his career again! I can remember being in the theater when he had the shirtless scene (pulp fiction) and the whole theater gasped at the pasty fat guy on screen.......he was not the skinny italian looking kid from the other movies!

Tough choice of names- Don becomes Ben and a Pantera apparently becomes "the Cigarette"...

Nope, not at all. Just asking the question.
Gump cleaned up at the Oscars while Pulp just missed out which helped at the box office and certainly boosted Hanks' star appeal and salary. I like both movies but most Tarantino movies are a bit 'out there' which doesn't always help with broader appeal.
I don't think Pulp Fiction was a bad decision but if Travolta had gone with the more wholesome character of Gump, I wonder if his career would have steered in that direction, a bit more like Hanks......

P.S. Speaking of wholesome characters like Forrest Gump, I probably should get back to Ben Kramer. (On topic) Sorry.
