Steve Buscemi (Mr. Pink) was a NYFD fire fighter before he became an actor and went down to ground zero after 9/11 to help with the search and rescue efforts. He is a brilliant actor you need to see more of especially Fargo and the HBO series Boardwalk Empire.
@@DawnMarieX True Romance 1993 is also good, lot big name actors, its Tarantino script that he sold to get money for this movie , then there is Natural Born Killers 1994 , Oliver Stone directed Tarantino scrip .
I would say "Jackie Brown" is Tarantino's most strait forward main-stream movie, but it is still Tarantino with its clever dialogue, different storylines, interesting characters. "Pulp Fiction" would be next in movie release order, but "Jackie Brown" may be the best next step. Glad you are enjoying it Dawn, I would have thought it may be too "boy movie" for you!
Quentin wrote this and True Romance before his big break. Ridley Scott's brother Tony (Top Gun) wanted to make this, but Quentin also wanted this, so sold him the script to True Romance (which has EVERYONE in it). So yeah... you should do True Romance as well. Welcome to the world !
@o0pinkdino0o TRUE ROMANCE is a must. I love that movie. Yes EVERYBODY is in that film. I love Christopher Walken's scene with Dennis Hopper. Gary Oldman as adrug dealing pimp with a racial identity issue. Brad Pitt as a stoner roommate. Pre-Sopranos James Gandolfini, and Patricia Arquette just knocking the wind out of me with her uber desirability. What a cast and what a rolling, rockin' ride. You've got to see TRUE ROMANCE, Dawn !!!
@Blue-qr7qe So many amazing characters in that movie you mentioned and you missed a bunch of favorites. Bronson Pinchot, Michael Rappaport, Tom Sizemore, and Chris Penn to name a few more
@@Dr.Acula76 'Loaded up with cast. I didn't really forget to mention them.... I was just getting writer's cramp. I like your nod to Mitch Hedberg. RIP.
I actually think Reservoir Dogs is Tarantino's best film. It's almost perfect in structure and much more tight than some of his more indulgent works. Death Proof is his most underrated.
I agree with you about Reservoir Dogs for precisely the reasons you mention. Tarantino quickly became too enamored with his ability to write admittedly excellent dialogue. Everything afterwards tends to have 10-25% more fat on it, but this is lean and mean and runs like a scalded dog.
@@kevinsieg2076 I really, really like the shorter Grindhouse version of Death Proof. I wish Tarantino would have made more movies with that fun, ridiculous and ott streak. Also, Kurt Russell is equal parts amazing and hysterical in that movie. 😄
Agreed, in that this is my favourite. Pulp Fiction next, but that was more ... whimsical (?) and slick compared to this one. This one was gritty as fuck.
Mr. Blue was played by Eddie Bunker. He was an ex-con who reformed his life by becoming a crime novelist-some of them have been adapted into fims-and actor, as well as an adviser on multiple crime films.
According to IMDB, "The title refers to a customer whom Tarantino served while working as a video shop assistant. When Tarantino suggested hiring a French film 'Au Revoir les Enfants' (1987), the customer apparently replied, 'I don’t want no Reservoir Dogs!' The director decided this would be a good title for his script".
The look on your face when everyone got shot was a delight to see Dawn. You really are in for quite a few more treats and surprises as you delve into the Tarantino collection. Great reaction Dawn and now we know why your always touching your ear.
Can you believe that this is Tarantino's FIRST movie?!?!?! It's so good at building the story and building the tension. Every time I see a young reactor doing it, I appreciate the movie more. I knew it was good when I saw it when it first came out, but seeing it now I'm even more impressed by his skill as a director.
I can never hear Stuck in the Middle With You by Stealers Wheel without thinking of this movie. When I first watched this movie, it was on a small 19” television with a bad speaker. So for years I thought that Pink was the only one that got away because I couldn’t hear the background noise of him being gunned down by the cops before they bust in.
The bald old man also played Elaine's dad in Seinfeld. They don't make old men like that anymore. That episode with him waiting in the lobby with George and Jerry is still one of the funniest things ever!
The actor is Laurence Tierney. He was in many B movie film noirs , the type of films that Tarantino loves. His most famous role was playing John Dillinger in a gritty nasty movie called Dillinger. Tarantino loved the movie and it gave him a chance to have one his movie idols in one of his films. Just like he did with Pam Grier and Robert Forester. Too bad he never had a chance to work with his 2 favorite crime Movie actors, Robert Mitchum and Sterling Haydon
@chardtomp Seinfeld said he stole a butcher knife from the set, and when they asked Tierney about it, he pretended to stab him while making the Psycho noises. Tarantino was also driven crazy by him. He said you can see him break character as Mr. Brown in the final shot of the opening scene because it was the FINALLY the take Tierney said all his lines in the right order.
My mother lost a finger when she was in high school. As my brother and I were growing up, it was frequently used as a cautionary tale: "Don't put your hand near the garbage disposal, "don't run with scissors," "don't taunt the cat"... Eventually we caught on that she couldn't have lost her finger ALL of those different ways.
Mr Orange is revealed in the Diner scene to be the rat because he instantly tells Joe that Mr Pink didn’t tip, hence Joe at the end, reflecting that he should have his head examined because he should have caught it!
Oh duh! I don't even know how many times I've seen this and missed that! I thought the first giveaway was "'why'd you tell him your name?' - "He asked me"
Everybody's character is revealed there. Blonde quickly asking if he could shoot White. Pink being a coward when Joe tells him to put in a buck for the tip.
Everyone died btw. Mr. Pink died when he went outside, got shot up by the cops. You could hear it in the background. This is one of my favorites from Quentin Tarantino. Kill Bill Vol 2 is my personal favorite.
@Ray-ko1lm You can hear shots but that doesn't mean they hit Pink or killed him. Pulp Fiction shows that firing at someone doesn't equal death i.e. "it was a miracle".
The competing theory is that Mr. Pink did not die, but either blasted his way out again or got captured. But much like the theory about the end of the Sopranos, it can forever be left in the "cannot confirm or deny" realm.
Nerdy guy doesn’t begin to cover it. He was a full on film nerd by the time he was 6. He was reading Cahiers du Cinema in his teens. He went to work at a cinephile video store that expected employees to be conversant in film. He didn’t go to work at a blockbuster. He was already writing and making short films. All of this is to say he didn’t one day step from video store clerk anonymity into the director’s limelight. He was consciously developing his talent from a young age. The main reason he went to work at this particular video store was to have access to harder to find movies.
About ten years ago I was eating at a restaurant when the Taviani brothers, two very well-known directors and winners of important awards in Berlin and Cannes, entered. I took courage and as soon as they finished their orders I approached them introducing myself as a cinema enthusiast and I was lucky enough to talk to them for 5/6 minutes. I told him that I was a profound admirer of John Ford and one of them looked at me and said to me.... Look, John Ford was our greatest master in cinema. Subsequently I asked them which Tarantino film was their favorite and they replied "Le iene" which is none other than the title translated into Italian of Reservoir dogs. This very important opinion confirmed to me that this is a film of great originality and quality.
@@DawnMarieXChris Penn has a very cute role in the original Footloose if you haven’t seen it. Could be a good palate cleanser after seeing him in Pale Rider.
Hey Dawn, I love how this movie could have been a play. ------ It executes the technique you were talking about where the camera acts as a third person in the room. ---- It mostly takes place in a single room and it's really 90% conversation between 2 or 3 characters. ------- It puts the dialogue at the Forefront and the dialogue is Simply Amazing. Kudos to Mr Tarantino. The stuff of legends.
True, for sure it's one of the best examples that you don't need big budgets, tones of CGI and FX, as long as you have a great script, great dialogue and actors that can deliver. Another example of an early masterpiece with low budget for me is "Memento". It's sad that there are not more movies like this. I'm sure there are still a lot of creative and talented filmmakers out there, that just never get a chance, because "the industry" don't take risks and pump all their money in sequels, franchises, remakes and reboots.
Dawn, you can’t skip watching Four Rooms- it’s a movie with four scenes with four different directors, but one of them is Tarrentino. And it’s effing hilarious, starring Tim Roth (Mr Orange). You wouldn’t want to miss it, well worth the watch. Cheers…
With the Madonna reference, Nice Guy Eddie was played by Chris Penn. His brother, Sean Penn, was married to Madonna between 1985 & 1989. Chris sadly passed away in 2006.
This is one of those movies that law students-especially those in the middle of criminal law-absolutely love watching. They can sit there and check off each element of every crime as they happen.
Dawn... I can not BEGIN to tell you how excited I am that yer on this Quentin journey. In addition to yer usual content, now you add his stuff, wow! Can't wait!!!
I'm glad you've started your Tarantino journey , your gonna love Jackie Brown. I wanna see what you make of Kill Bill. You have to do Dusk till Dawn as well but please don't look anything up on it , its best to go in blind to that one. Luv ya you crazy scottish lady 😁
Hey Dawn I found your account a few days ago and I must say you're the best and funniest reactor I've seen so far. Keep doing what you're doing. And please react to more Tarantino. Love from Croatia. 🇭🇷
RE: Tarantino-as-Filmmaker ; Yes, this is his first movie, but *No,* not his first script. He also famously sold 2 scripts *After* Reservoir Dogs which also made it big("True Romance" and "Natural Born Killers"), but his own films all have his signature touches . Highly stylized, very well anchored in the Setting, pop music for soundtracks from many different genres, and sometimes philosophical dialogues between as many or as few of the cast as the scene needs: these are all key features of his films which will appear time after time. He's also quite fond of adaptation of the works of other people, and a deep dive into "Reservoir Dogs" will reveal it is practically a reboot of a foreign film. There's no shame in that, of course, and the same is true for "Magnificent Seven" or "A Fistful of Dollars". Tarantino is Italian by descent, and that heavily influenced his sense of how to make an entertaining film. And it is about half the reason why he became a strong advocate for lower budget films of a "B-Movie" class, the sort of films that would be shown as double features in cheap film theaters or a drive-in movie. See also: "Grindhouse". And if I had to compare Tarantino to an American director with respect to on-screen violence, it would probably be Sam Peckinpaw. Tarantino isn't afraid to show gore and explicit violence, but he's also a master at *Not* showing it (as Reservoir Dogs can prove) and letting your head do the rest. Peckinpaw is different because he uses slow-motion during the "high action" sequences, but Tarantino messes with Time by normally telling his stories "Out of Order" (like in Reservoir Dogs) or by Chapters (which he starts doing after Kill Bill).
Dawn your face when the scene switches from the breakfast talk to the bloody backseat was priceless face #1. ------- When Mr. Blonde gets shot by Mr. Orange, I swear your mouth almost hit the mic, you were so shocked it was priceless face #2. Great reaction.
Here's a quick list of all Tarantino's major films for reference: 1992 Reservoir Dogs 1994 True Romance (writer, not director) 1994 Pulp Fiction 1997 Jackie Brown 2003 Kill Bill: Volume 1 2004 Kill Bill: Volume 2 2007 Death Proof 2009 Inglourious Basterds 2012 Django Unchained 2015 The Hateful Eight 2019 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood I've seen them all (except Death Proof) and they are all fantastic in their own ways
Death Proof is good, some really great stuntwork in it, but seeing that and Planet Terror together as a sort of homage to "grindhouse" B-grade cinema was the intention (fake movie trailers and all, some of which did get turned into actual movies later). Both are worth watching at least one time.
Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) also played the crime boss in the Boardwalk Empire series, a fantastic show set in Atlantic City at the start of Prohibition in the United States (1920s).
"What happened between peacefully having their coffee & tea and talking about Madonna songs and one of them's about to die?" Ah, therein lies the tale :) Great reaction Miss Dawn!
Apparently I am one of the few people in the world who saw _Reservoir dogs_ before _Pulp fiction_ came out. The thing that arrested me about the movie is that the writer has no tenderness for the characters: Orange, who is - if anyone is - the hero, is bleeding out in the back of a car before we know what's happening; the citizen who shoots him is instantly killed by him; the cop who Orange saves by shooting Blonde is almost immediately shot and killed by Nice Guy Eddie. The plot is everything, and all the characters are sacrificed to it.
Hey, I’m another one of those people! Nice to meet you. Like me, you probably also remember the days before _Pulp Fiction,_ when mentioning Tarantino would mostly just result in receiving a blank or confused look.
"one of the few people in the world" I saw it in theater. A lot of people did....just not a lot by mainstream standards....sold 650,000 tickets here in the US and did well on video as well. It was also wildly popular in the UK on release....$13 million in box office (around 3 million tickets)....nearly 5 times the US box office.
We all have our off days, and our hot ones. I nailed the twist in The Sixth Sense about an hour in - for which i was rightly proud of myself - but a lot of movies just suck me in and blindside me.
The lady who shot Orange was his dialect coach because he has a hard English accent like u. He said later, he liked shooting her! Nice Guy was in rush hour 1, Early 80s movies Wild Life and Footloose and he's Sean Penn's brother!
Same here, and I remember when I bought it, I was pleased as punch to discover that the Steven Wright radio DJ bits were included. He’s just so upbeat and expressive.
For thirty-two years now I can't hear 'Stuck in the Middle With You' without also remembering the ear scene, definitely keep going into Quentin T's movies there are some really great films in there
Mr. Tarantino's "style" is, he drops you right into the middle of the action, and then goes back later to explain things. When you do "Pulp Fiction" you will see a similar scenario, but different, you know? The radio DJ who introduces "Stuck In The Middle With You" is Comedian Steven Wright. Steve Buscemi, Mr. Pink, is in a couple of great movies, "Pulp Fiction", along with Tim Roth, Mr. Orange, as a waiter, and "Fargo", where he is again a bad guy. Michael Madsen, Mr. Blonde, is in another Quentin Tarantino movie, actually two, "Kill Bill Parts 1 & 2". Chris Penn, Eddie, was in the Clint Eastwood movie "Pale Rider". And lastly, Harvey Keitel is in the classic "Taxi Driver" as a pimp named Sport.
It's funny - I was sick as hell and at the time in the late 90's and my GF at the time rented this for me and had no idea. Took the day off of work in high tech. I think it cured me it was so intense and diabolical! She is no longer but the movie was awesome!
Great description for Tarantino… madness that is cool and controlled. Best description of his writing and movies. He is great at given you the familiar…. Characters, plots, stories… and then making them all a bit off and not expected yet you feel like you know these people. Great reaction
Reservoir Dogs is still my fave Quentin Tarantino film. When it came out at the cinema, there was a lot of fuss about it being banned to video, so it stayed at the cinema for over a year. I got hold of a good quality VHS video of it and went around lots of people's houses to watch it. I've seen it over two dozen times. The film feels like an old friend.
The comment about how the actors did not play to the camera is some of the most insightful observations about movies that I have ever heard from a RUclipsr or mainstream film critic.
Brilliant movie, saw it when it came out, havn''t been able to hear "stuck in the middle" without doing that dance since.. even my kid will do it, even in public.. which isn't bad for a shy kid with anxiety.
The cafe at the beginning still looks nearly identical. It’s in LA - I went there last year. My coffee was only filled three times, but I still tipped.
"How you ever met a liar, a compulsive liar, that truly believes what they are say...what is coming out of their mouth is the truth? Because I have!" So have I! Only just recently when she said: "What?! Hahahahahaha! No way! Two fingers?! I think you'd have to take more than two fingers off me." Especially after she said she doesn't do knives and proceeded to gag and say she was going to throw up for the next 5 minutes during and after the 'Stuck in the Middle With You' scene...

Now , I Can Never Hear "Caught In The Middle With You" Without Thinking 🤔 Of This Movie!😳🙄😁😅😂🤣🙂🙃🙂😁😎🤓🙂☺️ I Am Posting 📬 This At 7:00 p.m. , Saturday Night 🌛🌉🌃🌌 , April 6, 2024.
Hey Dawn, Mr. Blonde is # 1 in my book. Mr. Pink is a close second. Mr White is 3rd and Mr. Orange is #4 favorite in the movie. -------- Just for his gumshoe to be an undercover beast. --------- Honorable mention to Mr. Purple.
The old guy, Mr Blue, was actually played by a former armed robber, which is why he doesn't appear much, because he wasn't allowed to carry even a prop gun. Also when the cop says "I have a family" during the torture scene, that line wasn't scripted. You can hear Mr Blonde saying "Oh no no no" off screen. That was Michael Madsen's reaction to the line, as he'd just become a dad and it was a bit too much for him.
23:42 It makes sense that Mr. Orange was shot by a civilian since he was a cop himself (the other LA police members were told beforehand that he was undercover). I think it’s a good way to see how he was shot here after he was revealed to be a cop himself!
Always exciting watching someone discovering Tarantino movies for the first time. Its such an incredible cinematic journey you are starting out on. Having watched all of them many times, I'm a little jealous for the trip your about to take. Ps- its a straight razor that Mr. Blonde used on Officer Nash.
He also is associated with other movies, before he got big, or he did some writing for. True Romance is fantastic, then Death proof, desperado, dusk til Dawn, even a couple tv episodes of Alias!
Mr Blue was played by Eddie Bunker, he was a criminal who then turned his life around and became a crime writer. Quentin was a fan of his books and they partly inspired the film, in particular a book called Little Boy Blue, hence the name Mr. Blue.
When he was 17 Eddie Bunker (Mr. Blue) was the youngest person ever in San Quentin at the time. He went on to write a lot of crime fiction and screen plays after spending the beginning of his life in and out of prison, boys homes and work camps. Tarantino got the money to make this after writing the script for True Romance, which should be your next one.
The first Tarantino masterpiece. Also, that was a good take on the feel. In most movies the characters are put in situations to create an outcome, where in Tarantino movies it is a situation unfolding and the viewer is allowed to drop in and watch how it unfolds.
Reservoir Dogs is a slang term for someone who snitches to the cops, similar to the slang term, rat. The movie is about who's the rat (which ends up being undercover cop, mr. orange) who snitched and gave their heist up to the cops, which caused everything to go awry.
Well if that is the case it comes from the film. The title refers to a customer whom Tarantino served while working as a video shop assistant. When Tarantino suggested hiring a French film Au revoir les enfants (1987), the customer apparently replied, “I don't want no Reservoir Dogs!” The director decided this would be a good title for his script.
@@KrazyKat007 I cannot say for sure, but this has been in discussion since the movie was released. I know the misheard "theory" has been well established for at least 20 years. The timing would match up as that movie was popular and he did work at a video store during the time he was writing the RD script.
So long since I saw this one, but I do remember that I loved it. The chill dialogue, the no-bars hold brutality, and the tension and everything. A really great movie.
The guy who played Mr. Blue (Eddie Bunker) is (was) a real criminal -- and spent many years in prison. He wrote a really EXCELLENT movie that you should DEFINITELY react to: Straight Time (1978), starring Dustin Hoffman as a low-life criminal.
The reason Mr Brown crashes the car during the getaway is because the cops have shot him in the heed, he is still alive for a bit which always gives me a chuckle
The car scene is about Christi Love, the movie character played by Pam Grier, he Quentin then writes for her the movie, Jackie Brown! The black cop... Samuel Jackson wanted the part but Quentin said, I'm writing another part for u.....pulp fiction!
For a FANTASTIC underground cop movie, check out Donnie Brasco (1997) starring absolute giants like Al Pacino and Johnny Depp, and funnily enough Michael Madsen from this movie (playing Mr. Blonde). You'll love it. :)
All Tarantino’s movies are insanely good….. He wrote the screenplay for “True Romance” and sold it - and used the money to make Reservoir Dogs. Then came Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill, Kill Bill 2, Death Proof, From Dusk Till Dawn, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood All brilliantly written & directed in that unmistakable Tarantino fashion. All magnificent storylines and brilliantly acted by his favourite actors who he favours and uses repeatedly eg : Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Samuel Jackson, Harvey Keitel, Uma Thurman, Brad Pitt, Leo DiCaprio, Kurt Russell, Christoph Waltz
Excellent reaction. Maybe the most entertaining I’ve ever seen. Just watching your reaction to how the scenes unfolded were so great. Here’s QT’s directing filmography in order… -Reservoir Dogs -Pulp Fiction -Jackie Brown -Kill Bill volume 1 -Kill Bill volume 2 -Death Proof -Inglorious Basterds -Django Unchained -The Hateful Eight -Once Upon a Time in Hollywood I’d love to see your reaction to each one👍🏼
You popped up on my RUclips wall about 2 weeks ago and you've become my favorite movie reactor. I love you analysis and your overall energy. I'm old enough to be your dad but you are a beautiful young lady. Also, I didn't see one thing wrong with your ear. Tarantino's movies are all great in their own way. He also uses many of the same actors in his movies. I can't wait to see more. Thank you!
In addition to the movies directed by Quentin Tarantino there is also "True Romance" and "Natural Born Killers" for which he wrote the screenplay. "True Romance" in particular, although directed by Tony Scott, is very much like a Tarantino movie.
Welcome to the wonderfully f'd up cinematic world of Quentin Tarantino. Here's a crash course on his style: 1) His movies have a lot of tension build-up either through plot points or dialogue (he's well known for the naturalness of his casual dialogue writing). 2) That tension build-up is then released most often by sudden bursts of extreme physical violence. Then the cycle starts all over again. 3) It's ok to laugh during the dialogue OR the violence, or BOTH. He likes his viewers to feel conflicted about laughing, but it's ok to laugh, I promise. 4) His favorite genres are westerns, martial arts, blaxploitation and "B-movies". 5) He likes to tell his stories in a non-linear, "out of order" style. 6) He likes to arrange his films into "chapter-like" segments, almost as though you're reading a novel. 7) His characters often live on the fringes of society, such as assassins, hitmen, gangsters, outlaws, criminals, bountymen, or otherwise hooligans. 8) He has a noteworthy foot fetish. Once you're aware of it, you can't become unaware of it, lol
Here's his films in order (not all directed by him but written by): Reservoir Dogs True Romance Pulp Fiction Natural Born Killers From Dusk Till Dawn Jackie Brown Kill Bill: Vol 1 & 2 Death Proof (plus Planet Terror as they go hand in hand) Inglorious Basterds Django Unchained The Hateful Eight Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Best Morning Ever!! Was so excited to see you react to this because I KNEW you would love it!! Can't wait to see you go through the Tarantino universe! Two humble requests: Watch them in order. And watch the movies Tarantino wrote but did not direct. NATURAL BORN KILLERS TRUE ROMANCE FOUR ROOMS This is going to be SO FUN!
He wasn't faking the fear and tears in while in the back seat holding Larry's hand.. That was a man, completely afraid of dying and wanting a human connection and not giving 2 shits where it came from.. Tarrantino may go overboard on a lot of shit, but he writes the deepest parts of the human mind beautifully.
There's a couple of deleted scenes and in one of them you find out that Mr. White's real name is Lawrence Dimmick and he's *not* a good guy. He's old school, so there's an older fashioned sense of honor, but that doesn't make him a crook with a heart of gold. Mr. Blue was the old guy with the cigar at the diner table who said he liked "Borderline" by Madonna. His real name was Eddie Bunker and he was a real criminal for decades before turning to writing and acting. He was a consultant on the film as well and he told Tarantino that he never worked a job with that many guys on a crew because it always led to trouble. The shootout at the end is confusing because there was a squib malfunction. They didn't have time to reshoot it so people think Mr. Pink must have shot one of them but he didn't. They had to leave in the mistake. Mr. Blonde's blade is called a "straight razor." And there was no Lee Marvin hate; they talked about how much they liked him.
Whether the actors appear to be playing to the camera or not in a movie is usually more a matter of _direction_ Tarantino, like Kubrick, leans towards a "fly on the wall" style much of the time (Kubrick did it most in Eyes Wide Shut)

I second this opinion. De Niro and Samuel are awesome in that one. Top five Tarantino easy.
Quentin wrote this and True Romance before his big break. Ridley Scott's brother Tony (Top Gun) wanted to make this, but Quentin also wanted this, so sold him the script to True Romance (which has EVERYONE in it).
So yeah... you should do True Romance as well.

Mr. Blue was played by Eddie Bunker. He was an ex-con who reformed his life by becoming a crime novelist-some of them have been adapted into fims-and actor, as well as an adviser on multiple crime films.

Can you believe that this is Tarantino's FIRST movie?!?!?! It's so good at building the story and building the tension. Every time I see a young reactor doing it, I appreciate the movie more. I knew it was good when I saw it when it first came out, but seeing it now I'm even more impressed by his skill as a director.
I can never hear Stuck in the Middle With You by Stealers Wheel without thinking of this movie.
When I first watched this movie, it was on a small 19” television with a bad speaker. So for years I thought that Pink was the only one that got away because I couldn’t hear the background noise of him being gunned down by the cops before they bust in.
The bald old man also played Elaine's dad in Seinfeld. They don't make old men like that anymore. That episode with him waiting in the lobby with George and Jerry is still one of the funniest things ever!
i read somewhere that the cast was terrified of him
He was supposed to be a recurring character, but he really did scare the crap out of all of them so he was never asked to come back.
The actor is Laurence Tierney. He was in many B movie film noirs , the type of films that Tarantino loves. His most famous role was playing John Dillinger in a gritty nasty movie called Dillinger. Tarantino loved the movie and it gave him a chance to have one his movie idols in one of his films. Just like he did with Pam Grier and Robert Forester. Too bad he never had a chance to work with his 2 favorite crime
Movie actors, Robert Mitchum and Sterling Haydon
@chardtomp Seinfeld said he stole a butcher knife from the set, and when they asked Tierney about it, he pretended to stab him while making the Psycho noises. Tarantino was also driven crazy by him. He said you can see him break character as Mr. Brown in the final shot of the opening scene because it was the FINALLY the take Tierney said all his lines in the right order.
"M&^/%$=F
My mother lost a finger when she was in high school. As my brother and I were growing up, it was frequently used as a cautionary tale: "Don't put your hand near the garbage disposal, "don't run with scissors," "don't taunt the cat"... Eventually we caught on that she couldn't have lost her finger ALL of those different ways.
Haha! Your mother is brilliant
Mr Orange is revealed in the Diner scene to be the rat because he instantly tells Joe that Mr Pink didn’t tip, hence Joe at the end, reflecting that he should have his head examined because he should have caught it!
Oh yeah!
Oh duh! I don't even know how many times I've seen this and missed that! I thought the first giveaway was "'why'd you tell him your name?' - "He asked me"
Everybody's character is revealed there. Blonde quickly asking if he could shoot White. Pink being a coward when Joe tells him to put in a buck for the tip.
That's a stretch.
Also Mr White shows compassion for the waitress as he does for Mr Orange. Love this movie!
Everyone died btw. Mr. Pink died when he went outside, got shot up by the cops. You could hear it in the background. This is one of my favorites from Quentin Tarantino. Kill Bill Vol 2 is my personal favorite.
@Ray-ko1lm You can hear shots but that doesn't mean they hit Pink or killed him. Pulp Fiction shows that firing at someone doesn't equal death i.e. "it was a miracle".
The competing theory is that Mr. Pink did not die, but either blasted his way out again or got captured.
But much like the theory about the end of the Sopranos, it can forever be left in the "cannot confirm or deny" realm.
Steve Buscemi' himself once commented that he liked the theory that the Buddy Holly waiter in pulp fiction IS Mr. Pink laying low.
There's no proof since gunshot s continue to go off in the backround...no body no proof.
Imagine becoming a cinematic icon right out the gate with your FIRST film. Some people just luck out with talent, I suppose!
Madness!
@@DawnMarieXabsolutely!
Tarantino is such a Cinderella story. Nerdy guy that works at a video store become one of the most celebrated directors of all time.
Nerdy guy doesn’t begin to cover it. He was a full on film nerd by the time he was 6. He was reading Cahiers du Cinema in his teens. He went to work at a cinephile video store that expected employees to be conversant in film. He didn’t go to work at a blockbuster. He was already writing and making short films.
All of this is to say he didn’t one day step from video store clerk anonymity into the director’s limelight. He was consciously developing his talent from a young age.
The main reason he went to work at this particular video store was to have access to harder to find movies.
It's a copy.
About ten years ago I was eating at a restaurant when the Taviani brothers, two very well-known directors and winners of important awards in Berlin and Cannes, entered. I took courage and as soon as they finished their orders I approached them introducing myself as a cinema enthusiast and I was lucky enough to talk to them for 5/6 minutes. I told him that I was a profound admirer of John Ford and one of them looked at me and said to me.... Look, John Ford was our greatest master in cinema. Subsequently I asked them which Tarantino film was their favorite and they replied "Le iene" which is none other than the title translated into Italian of Reservoir dogs. This very important opinion confirmed to me that this is a film of great originality and quality.
Dawn, you saw Chris Penn in Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider, he was the one who tried to SA the girl at the mining place. Sean Penn's Brother.
Yeah I'm surprised I didn't recognise him!
@@DawnMarieXChris Penn has a very cute role in the original Footloose if you haven’t seen it. Could be a good palate cleanser after seeing him in Pale Rider.
@@DawnMarieX He looks quite a bit different here, even though it's only seven years after Pale Rider.
Hey Dawn, I love how this movie could have been a play. ------ It executes the technique you were talking about where the camera acts as a third person in the room. ---- It mostly takes place in a single room and it's really 90% conversation between 2 or 3 characters. ------- It puts the dialogue at the Forefront and the dialogue is Simply Amazing. Kudos to Mr Tarantino. The stuff of legends.
"Reservoir Dogs" is the most underrated low-budget masterpiece in Hollywood history ever. 💯
True, for sure it's one of the best examples that you don't need big budgets, tones of CGI and FX, as long as you have a great script, great dialogue and actors that can deliver.
Another example of an early masterpiece with low budget for me is "Memento". It's sad that there are not more movies like this. I'm sure there are still a lot of creative and talented filmmakers out there, that just never get a chance, because "the industry" don't take risks and pump all their money in sequels, franchises, remakes and reboots.
It’s incredibly well regarded though🤷♂️
Wouldn’t call it underrated lol
low budget vs. entertainment, Clerks is probably at the top.
@@Smoothjazzsundays No, you are absolutely right: "Reservoir Dogs" is constantly mentioned in all "top 100 movies"-lists of all time. 🤡
Dawn, you can’t skip watching Four Rooms- it’s a movie with four scenes with four different directors, but one of them is Tarrentino. And it’s effing hilarious, starring Tim Roth (Mr Orange). You wouldn’t want to miss it, well worth the watch.
Cheers…
Oh interesting! Thanks you 😁
Yes it's so good and nobody talks about it!
Noooooooo misbehaving!
I watch Four Rooms every New Year’s Eve. It’s just that good.
When I got a job as the night guy at a small hotel, I was told to watch Four Rooms and consider it training.
Underrated gem.
With the Madonna reference, Nice Guy Eddie was played by Chris Penn. His brother, Sean Penn, was married to Madonna between 1985 & 1989. Chris sadly passed away in 2006.
This is one of those movies that law students-especially those in the middle of criminal law-absolutely love watching. They can sit there and check off each element of every crime as they happen.
Dawn... I can not BEGIN to tell you how excited I am that yer on this Quentin journey. In addition to yer usual content, now you add his stuff, wow! Can't wait!!!
I'm glad you've started your Tarantino journey , your gonna love Jackie Brown. I wanna see what you make of Kill Bill. You have to do Dusk till Dawn as well but please don't look anything up on it , its best to go in blind to that one. Luv ya you crazy scottish lady 😁
I don't look anything up before any movie so we're all good! 🥰
I love Tarantino films. Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bills are my favourite he directed. From Dusk Till Dawn is great too, but he was just the writer.
My favorites too, with Death Proof. Maybe Once Upon a Time in Hollywood also. The rest are just o.k.
I don't think Tarantino has ever made a bad film, but I agree those two are his best. Those are the two that were truly brilliant.
"Chilled madness" is absolutely perfect. Best analogy ever 👏👏👏
Hey Dawn I found your account a few days ago and I must say you're the best and funniest reactor I've seen so far. Keep doing what you're doing. And please react to more Tarantino. Love from Croatia. 🇭🇷
Aww thank you so much for being here! ❤
RE: Tarantino-as-Filmmaker ; Yes, this is his first movie, but *No,* not his first script. He also famously sold 2 scripts *After* Reservoir Dogs which also made it big("True Romance" and "Natural Born Killers"), but his own films all have his signature touches . Highly stylized, very well anchored in the Setting, pop music for soundtracks from many different genres, and sometimes philosophical dialogues between as many or as few of the cast as the scene needs: these are all key features of his films which will appear time after time. He's also quite fond of adaptation of the works of other people, and a deep dive into "Reservoir Dogs" will reveal it is practically a reboot of a foreign film. There's no shame in that, of course, and the same is true for "Magnificent Seven" or "A Fistful of Dollars".
Tarantino is Italian by descent, and that heavily influenced his sense of how to make an entertaining film. And it is about half the reason why he became a strong advocate for lower budget films of a "B-Movie" class, the sort of films that would be shown as double features in cheap film theaters or a drive-in movie. See also: "Grindhouse".
And if I had to compare Tarantino to an American director with respect to on-screen violence, it would probably be Sam Peckinpaw. Tarantino isn't afraid to show gore and explicit violence, but he's also a master at *Not* showing it (as Reservoir Dogs can prove) and letting your head do the rest. Peckinpaw is different because he uses slow-motion during the "high action" sequences, but Tarantino messes with Time by normally telling his stories "Out of Order" (like in Reservoir Dogs) or by Chapters (which he starts doing after Kill Bill).
"A relaxing holy crap" is the best one-liner for this film😄👏
Dawn your face when the scene switches from the breakfast talk to the bloody backseat was priceless face #1. ------- When Mr. Blonde gets shot by Mr. Orange, I swear your mouth almost hit the mic, you were so shocked it was priceless face #2. Great reaction.
Here's a quick list of all Tarantino's major films for reference:
1992 Reservoir Dogs
1994 True Romance (writer, not director)
1994 Pulp Fiction
1997 Jackie Brown
2003 Kill Bill: Volume 1
2004 Kill Bill: Volume 2
2007 Death Proof
2009 Inglourious Basterds
2012 Django Unchained
2015 The Hateful Eight
2019 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
I've seen them all (except Death Proof) and they are all fantastic in their own ways
Death Proof is good, some really great stuntwork in it, but seeing that and Planet Terror together as a sort of homage to "grindhouse" B-grade cinema was the intention (fake movie trailers and all, some of which did get turned into actual movies later). Both are worth watching at least one time.
Don’t forget Natural Born Killer.
I would also include Desperado and From Dusk til Dawn.
Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) also played the crime boss in the Boardwalk Empire series, a fantastic show set in Atlantic City at the start of Prohibition in the United States (1920s).
I swear I thought he just did Adam Sandler movies 🤣
@@DawnMarieXSteve Buscemi was on The Dude’s bowing teams in
“The Big Lebowski”
Remember John Goodman telling Donny to shut up.
Boardwalk Empire is such a great show Steve is great in it. He was good in The Sopranos also.
Steve Buscemi was one of the kidnappers in FARGO. He's a very good actor. 'Been good in a ton of things.
The song "Fool for Love" by Sandy Rogers was originally written for her brother's 1985 film, which itself is worth a watch. 🙂
This is one of the greats. Any movie that puts you in that much suspense and leaves you speechless-is a good one.
"What happened between peacefully having their coffee & tea and talking about Madonna songs and one of them's about to die?"
Ah, therein lies the tale :)
Great reaction Miss Dawn!
Thanks for watching! 🥰
Another great undercover movie is "Donnie Brasco" starring Johnny Depp and Al Pacino
Probably Depp's best actual acting role. And based on a true story.
Apparently I am one of the few people in the world who saw _Reservoir dogs_ before _Pulp fiction_ came out. The thing that arrested me about the movie is that the writer has no tenderness for the characters: Orange, who is - if anyone is - the hero, is bleeding out in the back of a car before we know what's happening; the citizen who shoots him is instantly killed by him; the cop who Orange saves by shooting Blonde is almost immediately shot and killed by Nice Guy Eddie. The plot is everything, and all the characters are sacrificed to it.
Hey, I’m another one of those people! Nice to meet you. Like me, you probably also remember the days before _Pulp Fiction,_ when mentioning Tarantino would mostly just result in receiving a blank or confused look.
"one of the few people in the world"
I saw it in theater. A lot of people did....just not a lot by mainstream standards....sold 650,000 tickets here in the US and did well on video as well.
It was also wildly popular in the UK on release....$13 million in box office (around 3 million tickets)....nearly 5 times the US box office.
Though I do really like a lot of others, for me this is the best Tarantino movie.
I bloody LOVED it!
Its crazy how fast she supposedly figured out the plot twist of The Usual Suspects but was SO slow with multiple plot points of this movie.
We all have our off days, and our hot ones.
I nailed the twist in The Sixth Sense about an hour in - for which i was rightly proud of myself - but a lot of movies just suck me in and blindside me.
When they are discussing Madonna...all I could think of was ...Sean Penn was her former brother-in-law.
Sean Penn was her former husband
Yeah...I should have said Chris Penn.
The lady who shot Orange was his dialect coach because he has a hard English accent like u. He said later, he liked shooting her! Nice Guy was in rush hour 1, Early 80s movies Wild Life and Footloose and he's Sean Penn's brother!
So glad you enjoyed this, loved your reaction!
Resovoir Dogs the soundtrack was one of my most listened to CD's in the 90's.
Same here, and I remember when I bought it, I was pleased as punch to discover that the Steven Wright radio DJ bits were included. He’s just so upbeat and expressive.
For thirty-two years now I can't hear 'Stuck in the Middle With You' without also remembering the ear scene, definitely keep going into Quentin T's movies there are some really great films in there
Mr. Tarantino's "style" is, he drops you right into the middle of the action, and then goes back later to explain things. When you do "Pulp Fiction" you will see a similar scenario, but different, you know? The radio DJ who introduces "Stuck In The Middle With You" is Comedian Steven Wright. Steve Buscemi, Mr. Pink, is in a couple of great movies, "Pulp Fiction", along with Tim Roth, Mr. Orange, as a waiter, and "Fargo", where he is again a bad guy. Michael Madsen, Mr. Blonde, is in another Quentin Tarantino movie, actually two, "Kill Bill Parts 1 & 2". Chris Penn, Eddie, was in the Clint Eastwood movie "Pale Rider". And lastly, Harvey Keitel is in the classic "Taxi Driver" as a pimp named Sport.
It's funny - I was sick as hell and at the time in the late 90's and my GF at the time rented this for me and had no idea. Took the day off of work in high tech.
I think it cured me it was so intense and diabolical! She is no longer but the movie was awesome!
Great description for Tarantino… madness that is cool and controlled. Best description of his writing and movies. He is great at given you the familiar…. Characters, plots, stories… and then making them all a bit off and not expected yet you feel like you know these people. Great reaction
I didn't now I needed Dawn Marie vs Reservoir Dogs until it turned up in my feed.
This is a rabbit hole you'll love and we'll be able to enjoy you discovering them.
Reservoir Dogs is still my fave Quentin Tarantino film. When it came out at the cinema, there was a lot of fuss about it being banned to video, so it stayed at the cinema for over a year. I got hold of a good quality VHS video of it and went around lots of people's houses to watch it. I've seen it over two dozen times. The film feels like an old friend.
The comment about how the actors did not play to the camera is some of the most insightful observations about movies that I have ever heard from a RUclipsr or mainstream film critic.
"Chilled madness" hits the nail on the head, I think. Great reaction! Looking forward to more Tarantino with Marie!
For more Steve Buscemi magic you need to watch Fargo as well which is a all time classic movie!
Brilliant movie, saw it when it came out, havn''t been able to hear "stuck in the middle" without doing that dance since.. even my kid will do it, even in public.. which isn't bad for a shy kid with anxiety.
Steve Buscemi is brilliant.
The cafe at the beginning still looks nearly identical. It’s in LA - I went there last year. My coffee was only filled three times, but I still tipped.
"How you ever met a liar, a compulsive liar, that truly believes what they are say...what is coming out of their mouth is the truth? Because I have!"
So have I! Only just recently when she said:
"What?! Hahahahahaha! No way! Two fingers?! I think you'd have to take more than two fingers off me."
Especially after she said she doesn't do knives and proceeded to gag and say she was going to throw up for the next 5 minutes during and after the 'Stuck in the Middle With You' scene...
@ 14:52 From 1974-1994 "Stuck In The Middle With You" By Steelers Wheels!
After 1994 , When I Saw "Pulp Fiction"( 1994 ) In The Movie Theaters 📽️🎟️🍿🍫🥤, I Became A Huge Fan Of Quentin Tarantino.
I Backtracked And Retented 'Resevior Dogs'( 1992 ) From A Video 📼 Rental Store!
Now , I Can Never Hear "Caught In The Middle With You" Without Thinking 🤔 Of This Movie!😳🙄😁😅😂🤣🙂🙃🙂😁😎🤓🙂☺️
I Am Posting 📬 This At 7:00 p.m. ,
Saturday Night 🌛🌉🌃🌌 , April 6, 2024.
Hey Dawn, Mr. Blonde is # 1 in my book. Mr. Pink is a close second. Mr White is 3rd and Mr. Orange is #4 favorite in the movie. -------- Just for his gumshoe to be an undercover beast. --------- Honorable mention to Mr. Purple.
Dawn liked this film WAY more than I thought she would. But liking this film is the right thing to do because it is good.
The old guy, Mr Blue, was actually played by a former armed robber, which is why he doesn't appear much, because he wasn't allowed to carry even a prop gun.
Also when the cop says "I have a family" during the torture scene, that line wasn't scripted.
You can hear Mr Blonde saying "Oh no no no" off screen. That was Michael Madsen's reaction to the line, as he'd just become a dad and it was a bit too much for him.
Eddie Bunker, one of the "Reservoir Dogs," was a REAL bank robber, who did time but turned his life around.
23:42 It makes sense that Mr. Orange was shot by a civilian since he was a cop himself (the other LA police members were told beforehand that he was undercover). I think it’s a good way to see how he was shot here after he was revealed to be a cop himself!
14:52 You'll never be able to hear "Stuck in the Middle with You" in the same way ever again.
If you listen before the end there is gunshots outside. Pink didn't make it.
Death Proof is definitely Tarantino's most underrated, it's such a damn fun time and a great homage to the 70s-80s Grindhouse films!
Always exciting watching someone discovering Tarantino movies for the first time. Its such an incredible cinematic journey you are starting out on. Having watched all of them many times, I'm a little jealous for the trip your about to take.
Ps- its a straight razor that Mr. Blonde used on Officer Nash.
Also known in the UK as a Cut-throat Razor, you can still buy them, they give a great shave
"You're not deformed, your ear is right there, sew it on"......I love the Scottish!! Greetings from The States
He also is associated with other movies, before he got big, or he did some writing for. True Romance is fantastic, then Death proof, desperado, dusk til Dawn, even a couple tv episodes of Alias!
Mr Blue was played by Eddie Bunker, he was a criminal who then turned his life around and became a crime writer. Quentin was a fan of his books and they partly inspired the film, in particular a book called Little Boy Blue, hence the name Mr. Blue.
When he was 17 Eddie Bunker (Mr. Blue) was the youngest person ever in San Quentin at the time. He went on to write a lot of crime fiction and screen plays after spending the beginning of his life in and out of prison, boys homes and work camps.
Tarantino got the money to make this after writing the script for True Romance, which should be your next one.
The first Tarantino masterpiece. Also, that was a good take on the feel. In most movies the characters are put in situations to create an outcome, where in Tarantino movies it is a situation unfolding and the viewer is allowed to drop in and watch how it unfolds.
Reservoir Dogs is a slang term for someone who snitches to the cops, similar to the slang term, rat. The movie is about who's the rat (which ends up being undercover cop, mr. orange) who snitched and gave their heist up to the cops, which caused everything to go awry.
That sounds false.
I’ve never in my life heard that.
Why is the title pluraled then?
Well if that is the case it comes from the film. The title refers to a customer whom Tarantino served while working as a video shop assistant. When Tarantino suggested hiring a French film Au revoir les enfants (1987), the customer apparently replied, “I don't want no Reservoir Dogs!” The director decided this would be a good title for his script.
@@KrazyKat007 i got it from reddit !
@@TheMikeman1971 That was your first mistake
@@KrazyKat007 I cannot say for sure, but this has been in discussion since the movie was released. I know the misheard "theory" has been well established for at least 20 years. The timing would match up as that movie was popular and he did work at a video store during the time he was writing the RD script.
So long since I saw this one, but I do remember that I loved it. The chill dialogue, the no-bars hold brutality, and the tension and everything. A really great movie.
The guy who played Mr. Blue (Eddie Bunker) is (was) a real criminal -- and spent many years in prison. He wrote a really EXCELLENT movie that you should DEFINITELY react to: Straight Time (1978), starring Dustin Hoffman as a low-life criminal.
Loved this. Looking forward to more Tarantino
Me too!! 😁
The reason Mr Brown crashes the car during the getaway is because the cops have shot him in the heed, he is still alive for a bit which always gives me a chuckle
You can just barley hear Mr. Pink getting caught outside by the police as he left with the diamonds.
The car scene is about Christi Love, the movie character played by Pam Grier, he Quentin then writes for her the movie, Jackie Brown! The black cop... Samuel Jackson wanted the part but Quentin said, I'm writing another part for u.....pulp fiction!
For a FANTASTIC underground cop movie, check out Donnie Brasco (1997) starring absolute giants like Al Pacino and Johnny Depp, and funnily enough Michael Madsen from this movie (playing Mr. Blonde). You'll love it. :)
All Tarantino’s movies are insanely good…..
He wrote the screenplay for “True Romance” and sold it - and used the money to make Reservoir Dogs.
Then came Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill, Kill Bill 2, Death Proof, From Dusk Till Dawn, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood
All brilliantly written & directed in that unmistakable Tarantino fashion.
All magnificent storylines and brilliantly acted by his favourite actors who he favours and uses repeatedly
eg : Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Samuel Jackson, Harvey Keitel, Uma Thurman, Brad Pitt, Leo DiCaprio, Kurt Russell, Christoph Waltz
Excellent reaction. Maybe the most entertaining I’ve ever seen.
Just watching your reaction to how the scenes unfolded were so great.
Here’s QT’s directing filmography in order…
-Reservoir Dogs
-Pulp Fiction
-Jackie Brown
-Kill Bill volume 1
-Kill Bill volume 2
-Death Proof
-Inglorious Basterds
-Django Unchained
-The Hateful Eight
-Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
I’d love to see your reaction to each one👍🏼
When the 4 guys were in the car talking about real life actress Pam Grier, you will see her in "Jackie Brown", Tarantino's best movie.
You popped up on my RUclips wall about 2 weeks ago and you've become my favorite movie reactor. I love you analysis and your overall energy. I'm old enough to be your dad but you are a beautiful young lady. Also, I didn't see one thing wrong with your ear. Tarantino's movies are all great in their own way. He also uses many of the same actors in his movies. I can't wait to see more. Thank you!
Quintin has some of the best dialogue in his movies
In addition to the movies directed by Quentin Tarantino there is also "True Romance" and "Natural Born Killers" for which he wrote the screenplay. "True Romance" in particular, although directed by Tony Scott, is very much like a Tarantino movie.
Welcome to the wonderfully f'd up cinematic world of Quentin Tarantino. Here's a crash course on his style:
1) His movies have a lot of tension build-up either through plot points or dialogue (he's well known for the naturalness of his casual dialogue writing).
2) That tension build-up is then released most often by sudden bursts of extreme physical violence. Then the cycle starts all over again.
3) It's ok to laugh during the dialogue OR the violence, or BOTH. He likes his viewers to feel conflicted about laughing, but it's ok to laugh, I promise.
4) His favorite genres are westerns, martial arts, blaxploitation and "B-movies".
5) He likes to tell his stories in a non-linear, "out of order" style.
6) He likes to arrange his films into "chapter-like" segments, almost as though you're reading a novel.
7) His characters often live on the fringes of society, such as assassins, hitmen, gangsters, outlaws, criminals, bountymen, or otherwise hooligans.
8) He has a noteworthy foot fetish. Once you're aware of it, you can't become unaware of it, lol
Here's his films in order (not all directed by him but written by):
Reservoir Dogs
True Romance
Pulp Fiction
Natural Born Killers
From Dusk Till Dawn
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill: Vol 1 & 2
Death Proof (plus Planet Terror as they go hand in hand)
Inglorious Basterds
Django Unchained
The Hateful Eight
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Best Morning Ever!!
Was so excited to see you react to this because I KNEW you would love it!!
Can't wait to see you go through the Tarantino universe!
Two humble requests:
Watch them in order.
And watch the movies Tarantino wrote but did not direct.
NATURAL BORN KILLERS
TRUE ROMANCE
FOUR ROOMS
This is going to be SO FUN!
You're the best! ❤
Mr.Blonde,"I don't care what you know or don't know, I'm going to torture you anyway.
Dawn Marie," aww. boo." 😂
RESERVOIR DOGS is definitely his best movie.
Going Down The Tarantino Rabbit Hole “Best Movies Ever!”
Yes. Watch them in order as they were made.
He wasn't faking the fear and tears in while in the back seat holding Larry's hand.. That was a man, completely afraid of dying and wanting a human connection and not giving 2 shits where it came from.. Tarrantino may go overboard on a lot of shit, but he writes the deepest parts of the human mind beautifully.
There's a couple of deleted scenes and in one of them you find out that Mr. White's real name is Lawrence Dimmick and he's *not* a good guy. He's old school, so there's an older fashioned sense of honor, but that doesn't make him a crook with a heart of gold.
Mr. Blue was the old guy with the cigar at the diner table who said he liked "Borderline" by Madonna. His real name was Eddie Bunker and he was a real criminal for decades before turning to writing and acting. He was a consultant on the film as well and he told Tarantino that he never worked a job with that many guys on a crew because it always led to trouble.
The shootout at the end is confusing because there was a squib malfunction. They didn't have time to reshoot it so people think Mr. Pink must have shot one of them but he didn't. They had to leave in the mistake.
Mr. Blonde's blade is called a "straight razor." And there was no Lee Marvin hate; they talked about how much they liked him.
Tarantino said that he was heavily influenced by John Carpenter’ s horror film The Thing when he made Reservoir Dogs. Also the films of John Woo.
Whether the actors appear to be playing to the camera or not in a movie is usually more a matter of _direction_
Tarantino, like Kubrick, leans towards a "fly on the wall" style much of the time (Kubrick did it most in Eyes Wide Shut)
