Safe to say Pat Lynch won’t be watching “Pulp Fiction” anytime soon.

The head of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association is calling for a boycott of all Quentin Tarantino films after the Oscar-winning director took part in a march against police brutality in Manhattan this weekend.

“The police officers that Quentin Tarantino calls ‘murderers’ aren't living in one of his depraved big-screen fantasies — they're risking and sometimes sacrificing their lives to protect communities from real crime and mayhem,” Lynch said in a statement posted to the PBA's website on Sunday.

“New Yorkers need to send a message to this purveyor of degeneracy that he has no business coming to our city to peddle his slanderous 'Cop Fiction,'" Lynch added.

The Saturday march from Washington Square Park to Bryant Park came just four days after NYPD Officer Randolph Holder was shot dead while chasing a suspected gunman along the FDR Drive.
