Pulp Fiction is known for its killer soundtrack, but Quentin Tarantino nixed music during the film's key Ezekiel 25:17 scene – mostly because you don't need a backbeat when you've got Samuel L. Jackson booming with badass. But as can be seen in the video above, a little dose of Inception music can make the movie's classic confrontation even more ominous than it already was.
Pulp Inception is the latest mashup to add Zack Hemsey's track "Mind Heist" to a famous movie scene. The "Everything Is Better With Inception Music" video series was started on a lark by some folks at animation and video production company Wooshi who figured the instantly recognizable track would go great with Meg Ryan's infamous fake orgasm.
"This was a fun project we came up with in 48 hours," the company's community manager Ricardo Fonseca said in an e-mail to Wired. "One that immediately came to mind as suitable for this was the one from When Harry Met Sally. It turned out great, so then our team started brainstorming and eventually we started making more videos."
So far they've made Ghost Inception, Lion King Inception, The Lebowski Inception, The Wizard of Inception and Basic Inception, as well as the two mentioned above. They're cataloging the videos on a Tumblr called Everything Is Better With Inception Music.
Of course these aren't the first multimedia crossovers for Christopher Nolan's mind-bending film. Inception spawned tons of memes and trailer mashups. There have even been multiple "Inception Cat" videos – because everything on the internet needs a feline – that use "Mind Heist," just like Fonseca and crew do in their clips.
"There are videos with the Inception soundtrack, but they are mostly trailers, not ones with single scenes from movies," Fonseca said. "That music is so good and powerful that [we thought it] would have the power to transform scenes we know so well."
