Pulp Fiction
The Big Kahuna Burger and the Royale with Cheese.
About the folder
Two of the most quoted burger lines in film come from the same movie. Vincent explains that in Paris a Quarter Pounder with Cheese is called a Royale with Cheese, and a few scenes later Jules takes a bite of a Big Kahuna Burger and declares it a tasty burger before finishing somebody else’s Sprite.
The Big Kahuna chain never existed, so there is no official build to copy. The videos here work it out from the scene: a Hawaiian-leaning cheeseburger for the fictional chain and a plain double Quarter Pounder for the one that is real.
Big Kahuna Burger is one of the invented brands Quentin Tarantino uses in place of product placement, alongside Red Apple cigarettes and Jack Rabbit Slim’s, the 1950s-themed diner where Vincent and Mia dance in the same film. The Royale with Cheese exchange takes place as Jules and Vincent drive to their job, a few minutes before the Big Kahuna Burger appears in the apartment.
