When Butch is driving away from his apartment, he stops at a red light. Suddenly, crime boss Marcellus Wallace walks directly in front of his car, turns his head, and locks eyes with him through the windshield. Quentin Tarantino explicitly shot this exact sequence, down to the camera angle and the intense stare, to mirror the iconic moment in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" where Marion Crane's boss spots her skipping town with stolen money.
