In 2002, the street artist Banksy reimagined a scene from Quentin Tarantino's cult classic Pulp Fiction. Banksy depicts John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in bold monochrome, punctuated by the yellow bananas they wield instead of guns.
The mural's removal triggered a reaction from a local artist, who spray-painted the words "Come Back" in the space where Pulp Fiction had been. Banksy responded to the artist by painting a second version of Pulp Fiction on top. This time, the image showed Tarantino's characters wearing banana suits and pointing real guns.
