Reservoir Dogs

Reservoir Dogs is 's 1992 debut as a director and a screenwriter. The film largely takes place in the aftermath of a. After the robbery (which we never see on camera) is interrupted by the police, the surviving criminals — all of whom are, and none of whom knew the others before this job — escape to an abandoned warehouse and try to work out what went wrong, eventually deciding that there must be in their midst.Frequent flashbacks give the back story of several of the characters and fill in the details of the crime, telling the story in a (which would become Tarantino's ); in fact, the movie contains a lot of elements Tarantino would use in later films, such as and (though not at the same time). A was produced that followed the plot of the movie and allowed the player to actually commit the heist that was only alluded to in the film.

On a similar note, Lionsgate collaborated with Overkill Software on December 2017 to create a Free update to, and this appears to be tradition at this point, which paid a homage to this film, and stars a few of the characters to boot! Note Mr Pink, Mr Blonde and Mr Brown, with a pissed-off Cabot being mentioned. The heist also reverses the day order, keeping in tune with the theme of the film. If you fucking beat this prick long enough, he'll tell you he started the goddamn Chicago fire, now that don't necessarily make it fucking so!.:. Eddie Bunker appears as Mr. Bunker was a former criminal who wrote a semi-autobiographical crime book titled Little Boy Blue.

After the film, he wrote a follow-up titled Mr. Blue: Memoirs of a Renegade. Joe, played by veteran actor Lawrence Tierney, says at one point that Mr.

Reservoir Dogs closely follows the events of Tarentino's classic crime drama. Given that the original film was based much more on tense character situations then shoot outs, this iteration of the story takes some liberties by incorporating scenes that were alluded to in the movie but never actually shown. Six criminals, who are strangers to each other, are hired by a crime boss, Joe Cabot, to carry out a diamond robbery. Right at the outset, they are given false names with the intention that they won't get too close and will concentrate on the job instead.

Blue is 'as dead as Dillinger'. Tierney's first major film role was playing John Dillinger in.: Mr. He's the most likable of the thieves, sticks his neck out for Mr. Orange, and expresses moral disgust at Mr.

Blonde's behavior, but he's also a cold-blooded murderer who slaughters several cops and has no qualms with brutalizing people up for their money. 'Nice Guy' Eddie is also nice to his friends. But isn't quite as nice to cops or people shooting his closest friends.: Mr.

Orange is slowly bleeding out from being gutshot and spends a lot of his on-screen time screaming and moaning. It's bad enough that when the cop begs after having his ear cut off, Mr.

Orange screams at him that his pain's worse.: Mr. Pink does this at the beginning, as he explains the political philosophy behind tipping. Mr. Orange/Freddie kills Mr. Blonde to save Marvin's life only for Nice Guy Eddie to shoot and kill Marvin anyway in a fit of rage.: Vic Vega, played by Michael Madsen.: The cop being tortured by Blonde.: Did Mr. White kill Mr.

Orange or commit suicide by cop? Though signs point more to the former, the film notably makes sure that Orange and Mr. White's hand are offscreen when White fires his final shot so it could go both ways.: The pairing of Mr. Blonde's with 'Stuck in the Middle With You' by Stealers Wheel helps to showcase how seriously he doesn't take the situation.: Hoo boy.: When Mr. White badgers 'Nice Guy' Eddie to get some medical help for Mr.

Eddie: I will call someone.White: Who are you gonna call?Eddie: A fucking snake charmer! Who do you think? I'll call a doctor.:. Joe actively avoids this on the grounds that the groups working for him always gets hung up on who gets to be 'Mr.

Black'. And then subverted, both as a trope and within the group, by an argument about, because Mr.

Pink immediately gets into an argument with Joe about it. Mr. Brown wasn't a fan of his name either, interpreting it as 'Mr. Pink adds that his could be 'Mr.

Pussy'.: Mr. Blonde's trigger happy behavior leads to Mr. Pink's realization that they were set up, when the cops show up early.

He's the only member of the team that Pink declares that he absolutely trusts not to be a rat — 'He's too damn homicidal to be working with the cops!' .: Most of the cast. Complete with.: Mr. Blonde really doesn't like alarms. While his reaction to the alarm is off-screen, it's discussed at-length by the other characters (he apparently began going on a rampage that involved unnecessarily shooting people) and is responsible for the situation everyone's in. Mr. White gets defensive every time someone questions Orange's loyalty or lack of concern over his well being.

Likewise Nice Guy Eddie clearly does not like the idea of suggesting Mr. Blonde/Vic would rip off him and his father because of their friendship to Vic and Vic's loyalty to the Joe and Eddie. Or pointing a gun at his dad for that matter.: The aptly-named 'Nice Guy' Eddie (who is really only comparatively nice) is chubby, goofy, and really doesn't look too threatening, especially when surrounded by cool criminals in suits and ties. By the time he got really serious, his manner of speaking changed to something and more diabolical.: Behind Joe in the code-name assigning scene.: A variation with Mr.

Orange.: Though both are hardened criminals who will kill people if they have no other option, both White and Pink were disgusted by Blonde's killing spree and consider him a psychopath. What happens to Mr. Brown and unlike other movies, he doesn't immediately die from it and it takes a few minutes before he succumbs to his wounds.: has said he wrote the script like this to keep the costs down to make it more likely to be filmed.

The majority of the movie takes place in the warehouse, while Mr. Orange's apartment and Joe's office were located in the same building. The building was a former funeral home, which is why there was a hearse and coffins inside.: Mr. Blonde explains to Marvin why he's torturing him, which is that he feels like it.:., who. A better example would be Eddie Bunker (Mr.

Blue), who has fewer lines and less screen time. He is even occasionally. Even the tagline at the top mentions 5 when there are 6 men. is the voice of the disk jockey. Using the low-key-to-the-point-of-coma Wright to play a DJ has to be a joke.: The movie does an interesting subversion by completely skipping the caper itself.: When Mr.

Blonde is asked about Mr. Blonde: Listen kid, I'm not gonna bullshit you, all right? I don't give a good fuck what you know, or don't know, but I'm gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It's amusing, to me, to torture a cop. You can say anything you want cause I've heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain't gonna get.: Played with; although each of the robbers has a colour-based codename (Mr.

Blue, and Mr. Blonde), they all wear identical black suits, shades, and have their (mostly dark) hair slicked back in order to make identification more difficult for witnesses.: The voice-over of the K-BILLY DJ. His lines are written like the typical radio jive, but—played as he is by —the DJ sounds bored out of his brains delivering them.: None of the guys really care about a dead cop or two.

Pink: I tagged a couple of cops. Did you kill anybody?Mr. White: A few cops.Mr. Pink: Any real people?Mr.

White: No, just cops.: plays Mr. Brown, and producer Lawrence Bender plays one of the cops chasing Mr. Pink.: As with most of Tarantino's soundtracks.

Especially Little Green Bag by the George Baker Selection and 'Stuck In The Middle With You' by Stealers Wheel gained new popularity and even thanks to this picture.: Everybody gets their shot in at one point, but especially Mr. Pink (including the 'world's smallest violin' bit).: The cop is killed after he receives facial scars and loses an ear even pointing out that he's 'deformed' before he's killed.: Mr. White is the clear protagonist of the first part of the film, but drops out of the story for a while, during which Mr.

Orange seems to shift to the protagonist role. The climax of the film revolves around the two of them and thus they share the spotlight.: Albeit with a twist.: All of the sympathetic characters have died by the end, including everyone else, except possibly Mr. White goes to great lengths to protect Mr. Orange, and gets close to shooting Mr. Pink is 100% on his side. Orange isn't.

Mr. Orange promises that he won't tell the cops about Mr.

White if White gets him to a hospital. But Orange is an undercover cop.

Mr. Pink keeps on saying that they should just get out of the warehouse and go into hiding, but goes along with Mr. White anyway.

If he'd made good on this, he wouldn't have been arrested. Mr.

Blonde went on a killing spree at the diamond store. He's never seen killing anyone onscreen. Mr. Blue mysteriously disappears after the heist. It's a red herring.

He was dead the whole time. Marvin swears black and blue that he doesn't know about a setup, even when he's being doused with gasoline. He does know, and even recognises Mr Orange.: Marvin just barely escapes a painful death at Mr. Blonde's hands and hears Mr.

Orange's whole story, only to get filled full of holes by Nice Guy Eddie in about two seconds.: Specifically, for restraining captured police officers.:. We learn everything we need to know about the main four gangsters in the opening diner scene. Pink refuses to tip the waitress and explains he'd only do so if she did a fantastic job, showing that he's self-centered, a perfectionist, and has little sympathy for others. He's also very high-strung; he guzzles coffee like a fish, prompting Nice Guy Eddie to tease him that coffee is 'the last thing you need.'

White gets angry at Mr. Pink's stinginess and passionately explains why waitresses need tips, showing that he's good-natured, a bit of a hot-head who'll go to bat for others, and sympathetic. He's also no-nonsense, cracking that all he has from the previous is 'Madonna's big dick coming out of my left ear,' and he's the most likely to stand up to Joe; he grabs Joe's notebook away and refuses to give it back. Blonde jokingly offers to shoot Mr. White for not returning Joe his notebook, hinting at his eventual reveal as a violent psychopath, and establishing his laid-back personality.

Which he keeps,. Also, notice that when Joe asks the crew which one of them didn't tip, Mr. Orange immediately rats Mr. Pink out — foreshadowing the revelation that he's an undercover cop. To add to this, both Mr. Brown, and especially Mr.

Blue, speak the least of the six characters, referencing their minimal role in the plot. Notably, what part they do have in the conversation is completely irrelevant: Mr. Blue casually makes a mention of Vicki Lawrence's 'The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia,' and Mr. Brown gives a pretentious deconstruction of Madonna's 'Like a Virgin.' .: Nice Guy Eddie and Joe clearly do love each other and Eddie flips out when Mr. White points his gun at Joe near the end.

Eddie also seems to care about Mr. When Eddie sees Blonde's dead body on the floor, he is noticeably upset and almost on the verge of tears.: Mr.

White and Mr. Pink are appalled with Mr. Blonde's shoot-up of the store.

Most of the crew are also disgusted at Mr. Pink's refusal to tip the waitress; even Mr. Blonde, the guy who kills and tortures purely for fun, calls him out on it.: A villainous version. Pink correctly deduces that the diamond job was a set-up and starts asking the real important questions. Namely who tipped off the police to the heist?.: The majority of the movie is set during a scant few hours immediately following the heist.:. White, and the cop break down into hysterics when shot or tortured. Not that anyone could blame them.: Mr.

Blonde cheerfully cuts off a struggling cop's ear while dancing to 'Stuck in the Middle with You.' This only serves to amp up how much of a psychopath he is.: Mr. White advises Mr.

Orange to do this if ever faced with an uncooperative civilian during a robbery.: Several, for most of the main characters. Denied by Tarantino, who claims to hate these scenes being referred to as flashbacks, and prefers to think of it as a particular order that the audience will receive information in, similar to reading a novel. Lending credence to this is the fact that none of the flashback scenes are preceded by a character reminiscing to past events.: How Mr. Pink plays the just for the waitresses he refuses to tip—an eagle-eyed viewer will notice that he rubs his thumb and middle finger together as he does so.: Nice Guy Eddie. All of the really murderous robbers have names like 'Mr.

Pink' and 'Mr. Blonde'.: Everybody acts as a foil to Mr. White is a relatively moral guy, Mr. Blonde is a cheerfully amoral psychopath. White is governed more by his emotions (as evidenced by his attachment to Orange), Mr.

Pink is a logical and professional guy. White is very experienced and knowledgeable, Mr. Orange is very inexperienced, which is understandable considering he's an undercover cop.: The 2002 Kaante and the 2014 Avenged are foreign versions of this film and have the same concept. Kaante has been explicitly noted as having Reservoir Dog influence; Tarantino has named it as one of his favorite movies to take influence from one of his own. To some controversy, the film takes a lot of elements from the Hong Kong crime-thriller City on Fire.: Loads. The opening sequence foreshadows about half the movie.

Orange's flashback foreshadows the ending. There's even foreshadowing combined with. Pay close attention to any object whose color matches one of the main characters' names. Pro evolution soccer 2020 crack download. The warehouse, where the majority of the film takes place, is practically empty, except for a random selection of coffins.: Mr.

Blonde states bluntly that he's going to torture the cop purely because he enjoys it, not to gain information.: The four main gangsters:. Choleric: Mr. Pink — The obsessive perfectionist. Melancholic: Mr. Blonde — The stone-cold, introverted badass with a psychopathic streak. Leukine: Mr. Orange — The naive rookie remains trusting when he gets in over his head.

Sanguine: Mr. White — The charismatic veteran who sticks up for the rookie.: During the tense standoff between Mr. White and Mr. Blonde, when Mr. Blonde asks for the second time, 'Are you gonna bark all day little doggy, or are you gonna bite?' Pink facepalms at the overwhelming testosterone display.: Between Mr. Blonde and Nice Guy Eddie in the former's introductory chapter.: Mr.

In a flashback, model painting kits and Silver Surfer posters can be seen in his apartment, and he is also knowledgeable about pop culture, like mentioning the in one scene.: Used during the infamous torture scene. However, the aftermath is shown somewhat frequently.: Mr. White has a scene where he uses a pair of pistols to shoot some policemen through the windshield of their cruiser.: Mr.

Orange begs Mr. White to hold him,. He complies several times.: Mr. Pink escapes the shootout by using a cop as one; the same cop Mr.

Blonde tortures.: The line is actually improv, and made finishing the scene more difficult for Madsen.: During the final standoff, Joe tells everyone that Mr. Orange was the one guy that he wasn't 100% on.: Mr. Orange is a cop who has infiltrated Joe's organization.: Mr. Pink tries explaining this to Mr. White about there being a in the gang. Pink: All right, now you're using your f.ing head!.:. Famously averted with Mr.

Orange throughout the movie, at the end, Mr. White. Averted with Mr. Brown, who had taken a bullet to the head. In an, he lived long enough to drive away from the scene of the crime with blood streaming down his face. The wound was clearly playing havoc with his perception or cognitive processes, since he did okay until he crashed into another car.: When Mr. Orange reveals to the cop from the bank that he is.: Nice Guy Eddie.

Not actually nice.: The undercover cop is fatally wounded by a random civillian.: 'It amuses me to torture a cop.' .:. Proposed, but shot down by Nice Guy Eddie. See above.

Referenced, but never practiced, by Mr. Now if it's a manager, that's a different story. Managers know better than to fuck around, so if you get one that's giving you static, he probably thinks he's a real cowboy, so you gotta break that son of a bitch in two. If you wanna know something and he won't tell you, cut off one of his fingers. The little one. Then tell him his thumb's next. After that he'll tell you if he wears ladies underwear.

Let's get a taco.: Mr. Pink may not be the nicest guy in the world but he is the first one to point out that the robbery was a set up and in general is right about a lot of other things such as pointing out to Mr. White that he shouldn't have given his name to Mr.

Orange on the off chance he is the rat. Mr.Orange is later revealed to be an undercover cop.: Narrowly averted., you can hear Mr. Pink get caught by the police.: Of the two robbers who are revealed to have been killed in the fall-out of the jewel store robbery gone wrong, one of them was witnessed by two others (and shown in flashback), but nobody has any clue what happened to Mr. Blue until the end of the movie, when Joe confirms that Blue was killed by the cops.: The only survivor is Mr.

See.: Nice Guy Eddie does this twice:. First when he discovers that Mr Pink doesn't believe in tipping. Nice Guy Eddie: Okay, let me just say this out loud, cause I wanna get this straight in my head. You're saying that Mr. Blonde was gonna kill you, and then when we got back he was gonna kill us, take the satchel of diamonds and scram, I'm right about that right, that's correct, that's your story?.:. Mr. Pink's aforementioned arrest.

It takes place off screen the exact moment that Mr. Orange confesses to Mr.

White that he was an undercover cop. In the scene where Eddie talks on the phone in the car an orange balloon passes. That actually wasn't in the script.

/: Joe and 'Nice Guy Eddie' Cabot. Cabot is a slang word for 'dog' in french. See the entry.: One of them is even atop this page.: Reservoir Dogs doesn't actually show the jewel heist, nor does it show much of anything. With the vast majority of the film set in an empty warehouse that is serving as the gangsters' hideout, we don't get to see the elaborate planning or the shootouts that ensued; instead, what we get to see is the crooks sitting around discussing the aftermath.

The film also has no orchestral score, relying instead on to carry the audience through quiet passages. In fact, it's easy to imagine this as a play.: Orange has one before meeting the group.: The only non-white speaking role is a black cop that is not directly involved in the heist or its aftermath. The white robbers talk about characters of a variety of races, though entirely in slurs and stereotypes.: Mr.

White is sickened by the fact that Mr. Blonde killed random innocent civilians, yet kills cops without remorse and claims he will easily shoot or harm anyone who gets in his way during an escape.:.

During a planning scene for the heist, Mr. White mentions this to Mr.

If you wanna know something and he won't tell you, cut off one of his fingers. The little one. Then tell him his thumb's next. After that he'll tell ya if he wears ladies underwear.

by Mr. Blonde in the. He starts cutting pieces off the cop he captured (Marvin Nash), but he specifically notes beforehand that he doesn't care at all about any information the cop might tell him; he's doing this.:. We also see a flash of this on Orange's face after he kills the woman who was defending herself against their carjacking. She shot him first, but still, he's a cop who just killed a civilian in the heat of the moment. In the scene where Mr. White kills two policemen, Mr.

Orange clearly feels remorse for not being able to stop him.: Quentin Tarantino has dropped a few hints that this takes place at least a little later in the '90s than when it was released. A notable example includes references in to the Vega Brothers having returned from Amsterdam, which had to have happened before Vic took the fall for a crime that sent him inside for a four-year stretch.

Given that a 2nd-generation Ford Probe, which debuted in August 1992, appears in Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs cannot take place any earlier than late 1996.: Subverted. The opinionated Mr. Pink (who later turns out to be one of the more levelheaded robbers) doesn't believe in tipping just because 'society tells him to,' but the rest of the criminals, some of them pretty rough customers, are all united in finding that behavior unacceptable.: Mr.

White may be the most honorable of the bunch, but he's still a ruthless criminal who will shoot any 'dumb motherfucker' in his way to get out clean.: We see the planning and we see the aftermath, and we get plenty of hints about what went down, but the actual heist itself goes unseen.: The previews make it look like an action-packed thrill ride, but in actuality it's a very slow drama that barely has any action.: Mr. White and Mr.

Blue, although we find out that Mr. White's first name is 'Larry'. Mr. Orange/Freddie kills Mr. Blonde to save Marvin's life only for Marvin to get killed anyway, see. It also leads Nice Guy Eddie to immediately become suspicious of Orange/Freddie. Orange basically wound up blowing his cover just to save Marvin.: Kinda taken to the next level.

White takes a bullet trying to convince Joe that Orange is not the rat. Orange feels indebted. Problem is, he actually is the rat.: Mr. Pink spends a lot of time playing this role ('Am I the only fucking professional here!?'

) as things get more heated between the other thieves. It's especially shown when he's the only one who lives.: Tim Roth clearly has a hard time maintaining his fake American accent while playing like he's in terrible agony.: The opening scene at the diner, where the protagonists are having a while the camera spins around the table.: It only really becomes clear after watching it a second time, but by the end of the movie it's clear that the robbers are actively being injured according to who they've hurt/killed:. Mr. Pink is shown shooting a cop in the arm during his escape and is shot non-fatally off-screen. Mr.

White kills three cops (including Mr. Orange) and is shot three times. Mr. Blonde (off-screen) goes on a homicidal rampage, killing several customers, and is shot 12 times by Mr.

Orange shoots and kills a woman and Mr. He is shot twice. Nice Guy Eddie, while not a robber, shoots and kills Marvin Nash. He is shot once by Mr. White. Joe Cabot shoots Mr.

Orange once, and is also shot once by Mr. White.: Ethnic slurs abound, and several characters display casual racism and sexism in conversation.

They are all after all.: Subverted and played horribly straight in the same action. Orange tells White that he's a cop, obviously upset due to White having taken a bullet for him now. White, horrified at the revelation, points his loaded, cocked pistol at his head.: The gang does this just before the credits. This is probably one of the most famous images from the movie.: Played with.

White and Mr. Pink disapprove of Mr. Blonde's killing spree. Not because they have any qualms whatsoever about killing someone (they don't) but because they need a reason, even if that reason is 'I'm fleeing the cops and you're standing in my way.'

Blonde appears to kill and torture. However, while it's true that his recklessness and lack of professionalism are their primary complaint, it's also clear that they both.: Mr. White's attitude towards Mr. Orange.: Mr. White's desire to protect Mr. Orange is what leads to a and a subsequent blast out.: Mr. Blonde is described as having gone berserk during the robbery, and for being a 'psychopath' instead of a 'professional.'

The 'ear' scene is one of the most twisted scenes in film history. He even managed to disturb his own actor, thanks to an by his victim. Ultimately, as the fact that Blonde is pretty leads to far too many problems for his employers than they can handle, and his associates would never have done a job with him if they knew, because someone who enjoys what he does that much is just inherently unpredictable.: 'I.: Nash, the cop that Mr.

Blonde grabbed as a hostage during the robbery. While Mr. Orange's undercover ploy overall succeeded in bringing down Joe, Eddie and the rest of the robbers, it lead not only to his own slow agonizing death but also to a violent botched robbery where multiple civilians and cops died in the process.: The fact that Mr. Brown was able to drive a car some distance and get in some after being shot clear through his brain isn't as remarkable as it seems at first; though the bullet played a key part in his demise, any medical professional will tell you it was a lack of medical attention that did him in.: Mr.

Blue disappears during the heist, and Mr. Pink straight up questions if he's the rat. Nope, he's dead. Orange is the rat.: The undercover cop is Mr. Orange.: The bulk of the main story takes place in an old funeral home. None of the main characters, save for Mr. Pink, make it out alive.: Mr.

Orange practices hard so that he'll be able to improvise answers when telling his fake anecdote. He answers the questions flawlessly.: About the meaning of and why Mr. Pink doesn't tip waitresses, among other things.

Those first two conversations are loaded with double meanings and, however.: In the end, not only do the police show up, everyone involved in the heist (besides Mr. Pink) is killed, rendering both the mission of the police (to bring in Joe Cabot and potentially get more information from him in addition to taking him out of the crime syndicate) and the mission of the criminals (to steal the diamonds and get paid) completely moot. All the effort is completely wasted and the whole thing goes down the toilet.:. Mr.

Brown has a crazy theory about the hidden message of '. He also references in during his explanation. Pretty much the entire plot is lifted from a film called City on Fire. The code names are lifted from.: In the film, Joe Cabot mentions that Mr. Blue is 'dead as Dillinger', and in the video game it is revealed that he was gunned down in a movie theater (a reference to how John Dillinger was gunned down near a movie theater).

Doubles as an, as Lawrence Tierney (Joe) had played Dillinger in a film by the same name in 1945. Orange says that Joe looks like the Thing from the. There are allusions to and when the characters are driving., seeing that Grier would later star in another Tarantino movie. Well pretend like you're and tell a joke, all right?!' Blonde's torture of Officer Nash to music vaguely recalls Angel Eyes' torture of Tuco in, only much gorier.: Mr. Pink, though he does not escape justice.:.

'Stuck in the Middle' played during the ◊. 'Coconut' playing over the final credits. Going from 'PUT THE GUN DOWN ON THE GROUND!'

BAMBAMBAM to is very strange indeed. May count as a joke, as Mr. Orange had a bellyache throughout most of the movie.

The song 'Coconut' is actually a metaphor for the events of the movie going from calm and collected to chaotic and hectic. As the song goes from a quiet pitch to a louder pitch as the song progresses.: The fact that the cops showed up when Mr. Blonde started shooting tipped Mr. Pink off that there's a mole in the group.: The infamous Wilhelm scream can be heard as Mr. Pink flees the scene of the crime.:.

Deconstructed with Mr. He's an unflappable, perma-cool stoic. Because he's also a psychopath. Mr. Blue fits this considering he barely has any lines.: Even as Mr.

Orange is relating his story about walking into four cops in the bathroom with a bag full of drugs, one of the cops in the story is talking about how he nearly blew away someone who was reaching for his license and registration. Both of which are in a story that Mr. Orange is telling.

Which is in the Mr. Orange story. Which is part of the Reservoir Dogs story.: Mr. Blonde gets ventilated in that Mr. Orange is the cop.: Intentionally utilized with the character of Mr. Most of the film's first half is told from his perspective and he comes off as a much more sympathetic and heroic character than both Mr. Blonde as a result.

Later on we get to see flashbacks from other character's perspectives that show him to be a cold blooded killer and arguable misogynist. He's still more sympathetic than most of his accomplices, but it becomes clear that he is also not the straightforward he was first presented as either.: The film's main plot.: Mr. It's even by Mr. Pink and Joe. Joe: No no no. Tried it letting people pick their own names before, doesn't work.

You end up with four guys all fighting over who gets to be '. Nobody knows anybody else so nobody wants to back down. Be thankful you're not.: Meta example - the film's violence caused to walk out in disgust.: Averted; despite being beaten and having petrol poured on him, uniformed officer Marvin Nash doesn't give away that Mr. Orange is an undercover police officer. Nash knew who Orange was, having met him at another police officer's party. Previously discussed by Nice Guy Eddie when he points out that even if the guys do get the cop to talk, he'll start telling them outright nonsense if they beat him enough.: According to Eddie, not that Mr.

Blonde actually cares.: In spite of being a psychopath, Mr. Blonde never raises his voice and has a perpetually casual, yet irritated air about him. Although he was relaxed enough to stop for a post-shootout snack with a cop in his trunk.: The first movie Tarantino used it in, in fact.: Mr. Blonde's famous use of 'Stuck In The Middle With You' while torturing the policeman, illustrating his utter psychopathy.: Mr.

Pink says the line, 'Two words: learn to fucking type.' .: is that this movie takes place in the same universe as (Marcellus Wallace is referenced), and that Vic Vega/Mr. Blonde is brother. Common is that the mysterious case in held the diamonds from this movie's heist. Tarantino himself confirmed that this was supposed to be the case, but changed it to an because he liked the idea of the audience coming up with their own interpretation.: Mr.

Orange, just after killing Mr. Blonde.:.

In the finale of the movie, Nice Guy Eddie when he finds out from Mr. Orange about Mr. Blonde wanting to rip them off. His first action is to shoot Marvin Nash, who is a policeman tied up to a chair. And when Eddie gets involved in the Mexican standoff between himself, his dad and Mr. White, he screams at Mr. White to stop pointing his the gun at his dad before shooting him.

Mr. White when he finds out that his newfound friend - for whom he just killed a well-trusted friend for and defended to the very last - was actually a policeman all along.: Pretty much everybody, as the main characters display at best.

Although White is a and Orange is arguably good.: The warehouse, where the majority of the film takes place, is practically empty. Except for a random selection of coffins.: 'Listen to me, Marvin Nash. Pink makes off with the suitcase and we never learn what happened to him, although noises suggest he is shot and possibly arrested.

The mysterious suitcase in was originally supposed to have contained a cache of diamonds, which has led many fans to speculate that it's the same suitcase as in this movie (which would mean that someone managed to sell the diamonds sometime after the robbery).: Mr. Pink asks Mr. White if he had to kill anyone. White admits to killing a few cops, to which Pink replies, 'Any real people?' The response: 'No, just cops.' .: Used when Mr.

Orange is telling his imaginary story (encountering the cops in a restroom while he's toting marijuana) to the hoodlums.: In-Universe, Mr. Brown talks his perspective of 'Like a Virgin'; specifically his theory that it's actually about how the pain the main character of the song, a sex maniac, feels during her recent act of sex is the same as the first time she had sex. 'Hence, 'Like a Virgin'.' .: + = this trope.: 'Reservoir Dogs' comes from Tarantino's video store boss referring to as 'that reservoir dogs movie.' Tarantino simply liked the phrase, and it has no official meaning in regards to the film, which features zero real dogs (the only one we see is in a false recollection by Mr. Orange) and zero reservoirs.

Unless you count it as a pun on 'dam(n) sons of bitches'.: Mr. Pink plays the world's smallest violin for underpaid waitresses during a debate about tipping.

My Reaction To the existence of a Reservoir Dogs game was suspicious excitement Unlike The Godfather: The Game, where the feeling was baffled contempt. This makes sense: Coppola's films feel more valuable, coming before George Lucas had made twelvety billion dollars from the sales of plastic Stormtroopers. Although I have more love for Tarantino's films than any Godfather film, they don't feel precious. They consume and regurgitate pop references, so they're more valid fodder for pop culture's greedy sisters in the games industry. Making a videogame of Reservoir Dogs might still be cynical, but it's not filling a Supersoaker with dog's arse and letting rip on the Mona Lisa.

Reservoir Dogs has a promising concept - you play through the action alluded to in the movie. At my most optimistic and naive, I can conclude the developers must love the movie themselves. So now. I'm doubly excited. They wanted to see Mr Blue's miraculous escape from the diamond store, they wanted to be Mr Blonde riding around with a cop in his trunk (pardon my American). And, as much as it's possible for anyone to want to be Steve Buscemi, they wanted to take part in Mr Pink's exploits with his bag full of whatever.

You've probably been goaded into a dirty froth by now, but what if I told you the film soundtrack was intact? That you'll be driving around to Little Green Bag. Stuck In The Middle With You and the 'Oo-Ga-Cha-Ka' song? If you were a little doggy, then I'm doing the equivalent of holding a lead above your head and saying, 'You wanna walk? Wanna yes go walk now?' for 300 words.

Now imagine, now that I've got you all excited and ready for that thrilling walk, that I just sit back down and watch Songs Of Praise. That look of lost confusion and wasted energy is exactly what you'll feel playing through Reservoir Dogs.

The 15 short missions are of two types; driving and crowd control. Both are fun enough, but both are far too shallow. Over the driving levels, there's a slight tweak each time, but in essence - get where you're going, fast Fun, but short Andnecessarily repetitive, considering you're all going to the same place.

The real disappointment lies in the crowd-control levels. Your professionalism is based on your bodycount. Of course, you'll have to rough people up, but killing everyone is the mark of a psychopath, not a pro. So you use hostages and controlled violence instead. The problem is. the training level really does sum up the entire game; shout at civilians, take a hostage, punch the hostage. This very quickly loses its novelty when you realise that if you want to reach Consummate Pro rank, it's the only three things you can do. As for the bonus item, blueprints - just look for a building you don't have to go into. There'll be a blueprint in there, sure as shit.

Nice Slice

Adrenalin, which accrues as you play, adds a cinematic flair to goings-on. The psychopaths among you will use the - wait for it this is even gayer than squabbling over who's Mr Pink - 'Bullet Festival' to win a few seconds to shoot everything in slo-mo. Professionals can use a signature move to torture their hostage, causing everyone in the area to drop their guns in disgust This answers the question you were all silently asking - 'how will they work slicing an ear off into this game?'

Beyond finding out what each character's move is, the game's easy enough for you not to need these tricks, and besides - they do a CG rendition of Mr Blonde's ear-slicing scene between levels anyway. Speaking of which, I Volatile would have done well to leave these l scenes alone or not use them. Watching a f dead-eyed computer simulation of Michael Madsen mutilating a cop is about as engaging as wireframe tits are erotic.

I It's a console port, but the PC shines an unflattering light on its faults. It doesn't look any better, you'd be better off with a gamepad to avoid wild mouse flails. Just because this game isn't as cynical as The Godfather's art-slashing antics, doesn't mean ft's any good - it's with great regret I have to say it's not.
