Marsellus Wallace's soul or something.

Maybe.

That's it, you can interpret whatever was in the case to be anything you want. Have a look at Snopes.com as they've put more thought into it than I ever would.

Aye his soul, thus the plaster on the back of his head.
It made perfect sence within the setting of the movie....

Classic Hitchcock style Macguffin. Nothing more.

it was probably just a light covered with a gold filter or something

Glaucus · 27 May 2011 at 08:28

I always just assumed it was gold. Never even thought about it.

Really want to watch it again...so i shall at some point this weekend, oh and Jackie Brown too, havent seen that in ages.

Didn't Repo Man have a similar case? Or was it just the boot of the car? Twenty years since I last saw it.

Dont you guys know anything?! Watch Community, they show you the case, and it is a bright light! Mystery solved

Actually I swear I read somewhere that Tarantino joked it was issue 1 of a famous comic or something.

Gold doesn't glow and would be too heavy for Vincent to shift around the way he does in Flock o' Seagull's apartment.
