This is a documentary Scorsese made in 1978. It’s called American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince. The guy talking, Steven Prince, tells a detailed OD story that QT took practically word for word. QT stole the entire story and it’s details for the OD scene of Pulp Fiction.

I mean it’s not exactly word for word, but all the ideas for the adrenaline shot are in that one minute (medical dictionary, magic marker, stabbing motion, 2 guys goin’ back and forth over who should give the shot, etc.)
