New GTA 6 Screenshot Draws Comparisons to Pulp Fiction's Diner Scene
A Grand Theft Auto 6 image shared by Love magazine shows Lucia and Jason in a diner with pistols in hand, and fans see a clear nod to Quentin Tarantino's 1994 classic.
According to GameSpot, a newly surfaced screenshot from Grand Theft Auto 6 appears to pay homage to the famous opening of Quentin Tarantino's 1994 crime film Pulp Fiction. The image was published by Love magazine on Instagram, and fans were quick to spot the resemblance.
The fan-run GTA 6 Countdown social media account placed the screenshot side by side with the film's diner scene. The similarities are most noticeable in the framing, which closely mirrors the shot that opens Tarantino's movie.
In Pulp Fiction, the characters Pumpkin and Honey Bunny, played by Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer, turn their breakfast into a diner robbery. GTA 6 protagonists Lucia and Jason are criminals too, and the screenshot shows both of them gripping pistols, with an empty duffel bag sitting next to Lucia. That detail has led to speculation that a similar heist could play out in the game.
Whether the scene is part of a mission, and what exactly happens in it, has not been confirmed by Rockstar Games. For now, the connection to Pulp Fiction is based on visual similarities noted by fans and outlets.
The image fits with what is already known about the game's premise: GTA 6 tells a Bonnie and Clyde-style story of two lovers who also happen to be criminals, a setup that lends itself naturally to nods toward classic crime cinema.
