    Who ratted out Mr. Pink about the tip? Mr. Orange.
    Why did Joe Cabot tell him to shut up? Because he *hates* a rat!
    This is one of the reasons he had that "gut feeling" about Orange.

      It's subtly given away a few times before the reveal.
      If you look at the scene of Mr White and Pink in the backroom (pause this video at 11:18) you can see a bunch of bottles of chemicals on the bench. Pink and white bottles on one side of the bench and orange on the other side.
      Also one other thing it took me years personally to ever notice in this film is just where it actually takes place. But it is right in front of your eyes the entire time, some people already know and pick up on it straight away but I have brought it up to a lot of people who never did and were amazed they missed it.. If you pay attention to the room Mr White and Pink go into it may just look like some toilet or laundry room, but in actual fact it is an embalming room. Those bottles of chemicals are formaldehyde or something, there are white coats with blood stains hanging outside the door, there is some sort of medical machine in the middle of the room that for years II somehow overlooked. Back in the warehouse section of the building there is a Hearse under a tarp that Mr Blonde is even sitting on top of at one point, as well as several brand new coffins wrapped up... In fact there is a coffin for everyone in the movie.
      In other words, the film takes place in a funeral parlour's back room. In fact I believe that on the other side of the door at the top of the ramp is the office and showroom of the funeral home and the ramp is for wheeling coffins and bodies up and down.

    The Genius of Tarantino by revealing the Rat in the first scene. As soon as Joe asks “Who didn’t Tip” Mr Orange immediately tells Joe it was Mr Pink. That’s why at the end when Joe realizes it’s Mr Orange because he had a hunch and didn’t act on it. “I should have my head examined”? Great movie. Great review. ❤

    The Reservoir Dogs video game that came out on PS2 way back when actually shows us what happens to Blue and Brown, Blonde's Escape and the fate of Pink.
    Blue is chased into an alley and shot
    Brown rescues White and Orange, but is shot in the head and blinded by a cop before ploughing into a telephone pole and dying to the impact
    Blonde goes absolutely bonkers and basically rampages through the city, takes the cop hostage and basically escapes in the confusion
    and Pink's fate is the ending; depending on your actions in the game, Pink is either arrested by police OR manages to escape just as the police arrive in the ending
    Also, another fun fact; Pink is the only character to not actually kill anyone. He shoots at police, but the shots are non-fatal. He's the only "professional" thief on the team.

    This movie was inspired by: "City on Fire" (1987, Ringo Lam) "The Killing" (1956, Stanley Kubrick) and "The Thing" (1982, John Carpenter)
    The plot and even a few shots, sequences and whole scenes are *directly* lifted from "City on Fire" but COF is a traditional linear beginning-to-end story, that starts with the Tim Roth character infiltrating the gang, AND it *shows the actual heist.* Quentin noticed that once the heist happens, the gang is in a similar situation to the resarch team in The Thing in that they don't know which of them is the mole. The reason The Thing is the scariest monster is because the monster isn't even the biggest threat, it can just sit back and let the *paranoia* it induces in it's intended hosts/prey do all the work. Quentin thought it would be cool if he could tell this story in a way that *the audience* doesn't know who the mole is either until he reveals himself. The solution was in "The Killing" which is an early experiment in non-linear storytelling. "The Killing" is about a heist at a racetrack, and we see the whole heist, beginning to end several times, but each time from a different character's POV. (Similar but different from "Rashomon" where eyewitnesses give contradicting testimony of the same event, in "The Killing" each character has their own solo task like in the "Oceans" movies, but none of them know the whole plan or in some cases, even know any other member of the crew, so each piece makes no sense on their own, but as we see what each character's part was, we get more of the whole picture) Quentin switches it up a bit, there's a traditional linear story as the framework but it starts after the heist is already botched. We see the *buildup* to the heist from each character's POV, in the style of "The Killing" - he uses that to fill in backstory in flashbacks, enabling him to drop us right into the middle of the story where nobody knows who the rat is, and we get to sweat it out with them for most of the movie.
    And of course, we never see the actual heist. (It's the MacGuffin in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction - you don't *need* to see it, the movie still works if you don't, maybe better...)

    On a rewatch, the opening scene does a pretty solid job at subtle character introductions and foreshadowing. Blonde being trigger-happy, Pink being the "Everyone for themselves" person and not tipping waitresses, White still having a human side to care about them and Orange quickly rats on Pink when asked who didn't tip.
    Also, I kinda love how they're about to commit a robbery and yet 90% of the group worry about the waitresses' salaries.

      Yeah, no. What he said in the movie is correct: wait staff and etc. get paid SHITE - under 3 bucks an hour in a most places - and the tips are the way they survive. They need to be paid an actual wage (and not taxed on tips), but until WE push that through our state and federal govts., good service gets a good tip. It's the right thing to do.

The restaurant is required to cover the difference to reach the federal overall minimum wage of $7.25 if they don't make enough tips. In some states the minimum hourly wage (state minimum) a restaurant must meets is well over $10/ hr. In some states they also add a small percentage to pay for healthcare for their employees. Just increase the meal price and pay their employees a salary and benefits. They do it that way in Europe and restaurants manage to stay in business.

It's also a textbook example of how to do a non-linear story in a way that doesn't confuse the audience.

    If you listen carefully to the offscreen dialogue aafter the shootout, you hear cops shouting at Mr. Pink and then lots of shooting. My bet is Mr. Pink also died, just before the cops stormed in.
    Tarantino also subverted 'Stuck in the middle with you' by turning a sweet love song from the 70s into the soundtrack of a brutal torture scene.
    If you like a one set movie, I highly recommend Glengarry Glen Ross, which is fantastic.

He was 72 when he made this movie but was arrested during production for pointing a gun at his son-in-law, and spent a couple days in jail. That held up production and enraged Tarantino, who swore he'd never work with Tierney again. Which is why Reservoir Dogs is the only Tarantino film Lawrence Tierney ever appeared in.

    I recommend watching Hong Kong action thriller, "City On Fire" by Ringo Lam. It came out in 1987, 5 years before Reservoir Dogs. It's essentially the same plot, including the undercover detective plot. But it's really interesting how much of a different film it is. I'm not saying Tarantino plagiarised the City on Fire, but he was very heavily inspired by it. And what he produced was a very very different presentation and mood. Watching City On Fire is certainly very interesting if you're a fan of Reservoir Dogs.

    There was an idea for a movie featuring them called “Double V Vega” and the film would tell the story and relationship between Vic and Vincent Vega.
    It would take place in Amsterdam and there, Vincent would run some club. At some point in his two-year stay, Vic would show up and visit him.
    The film never got past the premise stage and at the time where Tarantino was planning that, the actors Michael Madsen and John Travolta were aging and no longer having the same appearance that they had in their respective character's films. It would’ve been a prequel to Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction.
