In some point during his two years spent running that club, Vic shows up to visit him and it would’ve been their weekend. He was running some club for Marsellus Wallace in Amsterdam, he was there for a couple years. It would’ve taken place in Amsterdam, during the time Vincent was in Amsterdam. “The only thing I did know was the premise,” Tarantino told CinemaBlend earlier this year about the prequel. Travolta earned an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, the second of his career after “Saturday Night Fever.” Casting Travolta meant the two Vega brothers were played by different actors, which inspired Tarantino to briefly consider making a prequel film with the characters titled “Double V Vega.” Travolta’s star power was fading when Tarantino cast him in “Pulp Fiction” (the actor was most associated with the “Look Who’s Talking” series at the time and was also coming off the box office bomb “Shout”), but the role of Vincent Vega brought his career back into prominence. No one had seen Travolta with a fucking gun. That’s a huge, huge, huge reason why the movie worked.” “He was doing movies about talking babies! And suddenly he’s Vincent Vega! He had that wig on. “Isn’t it true that part of John Travolta being in it, it became John’s comeback?” Madsen said.

Tarantino wrote Vincent Vega to be the brother of Madsen’s Vic Vega in “Reservoir Dogs,” which is seemingly why casting Madsen in “Pulp Fiction” was of interest for the writer-director. The character is one of Tarantino’s most beloved. Twenty-five years after “Pulp Fiction” premiered and won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, most actors might be mad about being unable to play Vincent Vega.
