Usual Suspects and Pulp/Dogs are different from each other, you’re absolutely right. BUT it is a fact that films like Suspects, Snatch and Lock Stock benefitted hugely from the commercial success that was Pulp. QT paved the way for a resurgence of the crime genre in the nineties, and not just the crime genre, but that type of crime genre which dealt with the underdogs. Of course, many directors brought their own particular style to their movies, but the public interest in the genre was resurrected by QT’s movies.

While PF did bring back interest in crime movies and the style, it doesn’t mean they influenced The Usual Suspects. Snatch was inspired, I could see the influence, but Suspects was already written and planned out when Fiction was released. Both great movies, but TUS wasn’t influenced or taken any cues from it
