He was soooo much fun as Chili, that Elmore Leonard actually wrote the sequel with him in mind. The book was fair, as far as the movie, meh, I thought Vince Vaughn and The Rock stole whatever funny moments were in it.
Put it another way, Chili Palmer is who all of us wish we can be. Vincent Vega, sans the hitman profession, is who we really are.
Anyway, I also quite enjoyed the hell out of the third good Leonard-adaptation in the 1990s: Steven Soderbergh's OUT OF SIGHT. Seen that?
