Plump Fiction is a 1997 American parody film written and directed by Bob Koherr and produced by Rhino Entertainment. It is a spoof of mid-1990s films in general, and violent, convoluted films more specifically; the overall story is a send-up of 1994's Pulp Fiction, complete with intertitles and an out-of-sequence storyline, with other movies such as Reservoir Dogs and Natural Born Killers also parodied.

Plot

At the start of the movie, Don LaFontaine's voice talks about how Quentin Tarantino started a trend of extremely violent movies, and says that the time has come for much more wholesome, life-affirming movies — and he is cut off as someone shoots him. The body of the film contains the following intertwined plotlines: After the credits, a server at the Independent Cafe (who calls himself Priscilla, Queen of the Desserts) looks into the camera and says, "This has been one long, mixed-up, crazy, out-of-sequence kind of day!"
