{{Non-free use rationale|Description= Film screenshot of Bruce Willis as Butch Coolidge

|Source= Image from Pulp Fiction

|Portion= Complete.

|Article= Pulp Fiction (film)

|Resolution= Yes

|Purpose= For use in article subsection "Cast". The image is used for explication of sourced critical commentary on the depicted actor and performance, the cinematic allusion they involve, and the character's significant costume. Director Quentin Tarantino told Willis that he "could imagine Aldo Ray being great as Butch and he said, 'Yeah, I like Aldo Ray, that's a good idea.' So I said let's go for that whole look" (Source: Dargis, Manohla (1994). "Pulp Instincts", Sight and Sound 4, no. 5 (May), p. 10. Collected in Quentin Tarantino: Interviews, ed. Gerald Peary (Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 1998). {{ISBN|1578060516}}). The brightly hued boxing colors, designed by Betsy Heimann, worn by Willis/Coolidge in this scene, which introduces the character, is a prime example of the costume as "symbolic suit of armor" Tarantino specifically sought for this film (Source: Dargis, Manohla (1994). "Quentin Tarantino on Pulp Fiction", Sight and Sound 4, no. 11 (November), p. 17).

|Replaceability= As a screenshot of a unique cinematic scene, any comparable image would be similarly under copyright, so no free image plausibly exists or could exist that would be a valid replacement.
