Connected to Pulp Fiction?


I haven't seen this film, but i just wonder if there's any connection between Pulp Fiction and this movie. Because in Pulp Fiction they talk about "Big kahuna burgers" anyone knows?

No, lol, it has nothing to do with Pulp Fiction.

Well, except for the fact that Danny DeVito produced Pulp Fiction.

Hah---- That would of been great if Sam Jackson and John Travolta entered the room - in their black Suits -- And simply just blew Bob away . " I'm sorry !! Did I break your concentration " ?!?!

No. "Kahuna" is a slang term meaning "the big one" or "the big fish" or "the most important one" or some such. It's been around for a long time. It was a name or nickname of one of the characters in the 1950s Annette Funicello beach movies (the big Kahuna).

It means "IT."

So the movie's title refers to the big potential customer they want: the big Kahuna. The big fish. The one that beats all others.

(Kahuna also means a really big wave.)
