This scene is a great example of Quinton's directing genius.  There are few things we can look at that make this such a well shot scene, such as the rhythm of the shots.  As the dialogue goes, the shots move almost rhythmically back and forth from Travolta to Jackson, because of this we get into the groove of seeing those two closely framed shots coming until about 50 seconds in where we the shot changes to Travolta turning around.  That brings me to my next point which is the use of framing and rhythm as a team.  Because we're used to the rhythm of the shots going back and forth, when it doesn't happen we feel as if something's wrong or different.  Along top of this, the framing of the shot has Travolta's gun right on one of the lines associated with the rule of thirds.  This leads our eye to it and then BOOM, marvin gets shot in the face.  I think that was Terrantino's mindset when he shot this.
