Pretty sure Mr. Pink gets caught by the cops. If you turn the sound up after he walks out you can hear the police say "Get on the floor, put your hands up!" and Mr. Pink replies "Don't shoot! I got shot godamnit!"
There are audible gunshots too after you hear the muffled yelling. Which always implied to me that Pink was surrounded upon exiting and was shot when he wouldn’t surrender.
"This is gonna be in my head forever now..." That's most of us 😅 Mr Blonde torturing the cop to Stealer's Wheel is SO iconic. I always think of Madsen's little dance with the gas can 😅 "How bout a little fire Scarecrow?" - contender for darkest Wizard of Oz reference
They didn’t get to see how it was used after they licensed it and were misled. They we furious once the movie came out and I think it led to changes in what was standard to how music was licensed
Everyone gets traumatized by the torture scene and can't listen to the song without thinking it about it, but it's the reason i fell in love with the song 😂
The biggest surprise in this entire movie is… there’s no feet scene lol. The man is one hell of a storyteller. My favorite thing in this is the tiny detail of after the ear is cut off and he goes to get the gas when he comes back in the music is synced to the exact amount of time he was outside. You know they probably did multiple takes and to focus on those minor details totally sells it as reality.
This is Tarantino debut and broke the rules of cinema. Masterpieces like Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Death Proof, Inglorious Basterds, Kill Bill vols I and II... and real jewels as screenplayer like From Dusk till Dawn. It´s my favourite universe by far.
Ah, the former smoker in me fondly remembers the traditional Zippo Snap-Light technique. It takes a degree of finesse: Too hard of a snap, and the flint wheel can scrape/cut your finger. Too light of a snap, and you do as Mr. White does....snap a dozen times before you catch a light. I miss the good ole days sometimes.
Great reaction. Go back and watch the end again, begin when Mr Pink walks out of the building. Focus on the background sounds (ignore Mr Orange and Larry) and you'll discover that Mr Pink isn't living large with the diamonds.
Mr Pink actually gets caught by the cops, it's easy to miss but you hear in the background the interaction between the cops and Mr. Pink outside right before the police bust in. This and Pulp Fiction are my favorite Tarantino flicks, I actually prefer his earlier work as opposed to his recent ones.
Great reaction Nicolette like always! The debut film by Quentin Tarantino that set his career off with a bang. A debut that reflects Tarantino's unique, postmodern style and points towards things to come. A powerful cast including Madsen, Keitel, Roth and Buscemi who all deliver. Witty dialogue and having the most sadistic torture scene ever, this one is a crime classic. There are some fun-facts about this masterpiece. This was almost another amateur movie, the original plan for “Reservoir Dogs” was for it to be another of Tarantino’s films made on a whim. His plan was to make it a 16mm black-and-white movie with less ambition, and also a budget of only $30,000 dollars. It was just going to be made with his friends, including Lawrence Bender, who ended up producing “Reservoir Dogs.” Harvey Keitel was vital to the film, you never know what chain of events will occur in a film’s production. Bender gave a copy of Tarantino’s script to his acting teacher. That teacher gave it to their wife, and their wife gave it to Harvey Keitel. Keitel, an established actor, signed on as a co-producer, resulting in a budget somewhere between $1.2 and $3 million. The crew that puts together the robbery in the film doesn’t use their actual names. Instead, they are referenced by colors, such as Mr. Pink, Mr. Blonde, and Mr. Green. This is directly lifted from the original “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three,” from (1974) where the criminals do the same thing. Lawrence Tierney who plays Joe Cabot had a lengthy career in Hollywood. Read any stories on him and you begin to wonder why. Tierney was often drunk and violent, and he was arrested dozens of times in his life. He was also immensely difficult on set, and Tarantino said that he and Tierney got into a physical altercation. Also, while filming this movie the actor was arrested again. Why? Because he got drunk and shot at his nephew. One of the more famous names in the movie is just a voice, Tarantino makes use of diegetic sound in the film, which is to say the music comes from sources within the film. This includes radios tuned into K-Billy’s “Sounds of the Seventies.” We hear the DJ do their patter here and there, and you might know the voice. The DJ is none other than standup Steven Wright. There was not exactly a real costume budget on the film. A lot of the clothing worn by the characters was from the personal wardrobe of the actors. This includes the tracksuit that Chris Penn’s Nice Guy Eddie wears. Tarantino seeded a future film in the movie, On the radio, you might hear an ad for Jack Rabbit Slim’s. You later see Jack Rabbit Slim’s in “Pulp Fiction.” It’s the ‘50s-themed restaurant Vincent and Mia go to for expensive milkshakes (that are worth it) and Steve Buscemi as a waiter dressed like Buddy Holly. Keep up the good work.
Mr pink got away with the diamonds. Since Joe died he gave it to Marsellus Wallace. That’s what was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. Mr. Pink opened a themed restaurant and some times played Buddy Holly for laughs. He tried so hard as a bad server to see if he would get a tip.
1992. Junior year in college. It was my first year in film related studies. Every month, members of the film club would head into the city to see any movie of their choice on the college's dime. I don't remember if anyone else went with me, but I chose this. I had the same adrenaline-infused reaction you had when I left the theatre. I wouldn't shut up about it on the way back.
You are close my age, back in those days for anybody that was into the craft of filmmaking, this movie was sort of the warm up, but when Pulp Fiction dropped just a couple years later, it was a landmark in movie making history that CHANGED THE GAME FOREVER. Tarantino blew people's minds away because there was NOTHING like it at the time. It's tough articulating to the younger folks who weren't around back then on the importance of these two films to the art of filmmaking (and to do it in a way that does them justice) but going forward from '94, every last aspect of putting together a film was now rethought of and re-contextualized...people's minds were now open to endless ideas of what was possible and it was the inspiration for many aspiring filmmakers to follow... All thanks to what were essentially a couple modest budget "Indie" films.
What a film, huh. Saw this about 3 times in the cinema when it came out. During the scene with Mr Blonde and the cop I was convinced that I was the only one in the cinema who saw the dark humour in it as I was the only person in the place laughing. And I was laughing hard, lol. I still to this day don't think he's topped it. Maybe equalled it with Pulp Fiction but it's never been topped.
@UserAndLoser1985 of course it was. The combination of a horrible act on a helpless victim, set against the perpetrator dancing and singing to a catchy, almost uplifting song. It's classic dark comedy. Which I'm guessing is exactly how it was intended. Not dissimilar to the infamous "Singing In The Rain" scene in A Clockwork Orange.
All of his films have something special and unique they bring to the table, besides the golden thread of good story, acting, filming and some of the most out of left field moments in cinema to happen.... what i love specifically to this movie is that it's almost setup setup like a theater play and besides a few tid bits all of it takes place in just one room (or stage so to speak)
Wasn't his debut as a writer the great movie True Romance, which came out a couple of years before this? He wrote it but he didn't direct it. It's a film well worth seeing if you haven't already, it's extremely Tarantino-esque, and heavily star-studded. Cheers!
The thing about "tipping" never made sense to me until I moved to the US and was told that tipping is an actual thing they do over there to justify not paying their workers actual salaries. What a disgusting system. .
Disgusting system@? lol I know bartenders and servers who make anywhere from $200-$1,000 a night just from their tips in an 8 hour shift. It's a great system for them. Maybe stick to what you know about.
@@nathanlindahl8336 that's great for _THEM_ , what about the ones who _aren't_ making that much a night? I guess it's expected for an American to throw them under the bus, it _is_ the culture you were born in...
On the contrary - it's based on the Merit System. I had a girlfriend who sometimes made twice what I made in a union shop, and she only worked 3 nights/week (15-16 hours total) vs. my 40 hrs. at union scale as a sr. machinist! She was damn good and hustled for that $$. Why should she make the same mediocre rate as the worst waitresses in town? We call that 'socialism' and it stifles initiative and hard work.
Nice reaction to a great movie!This is my first video I watched on your channel and my subscription is yours now! I liked the editing and the total length of the video.The right amount of commenting and most of all your very natural reactions.You could really see the fun you had watching it. I only have one little concern : I had some issues following the movie on the screen in-between,cause you look so cute in here,that I couldn't take my eyes off of you! The good thing about that is, that now I know I can watch any other one here,regardless what movie it is,and be sure to enjoy it! ☺️
Pam Grier ended up being the lead in Tarantino's Jackie Brown. Pretty sure the warehouse was surrounded by the time mr. Pink left, you hear sirens like crazy.
Love this soundtrack - goes right along with my early teens (Wonder Years). Old Joe is played by Lawrence Tierney, a 'heavy' from plenty of film noir classics who basically got kicked out of every Hollywood bar for fighting back in the day. After the first week of filming this, the entire cast and crew couldn't stand the guy!. Try to catch TWO DAYS IN THE VALLEY (1996) with James Spader, Charlize Theron, Danny Aiello, Terri Hatcher, etc., etc.
This was the first Tarantino film I saw on VHS and it's pretty good amazing! I was 5-6 years old, i thought the main characters were the good guys, but it turns out that they are criminals, as they begin to distrust one another as they realize one of their own is a police informant, but which one? Keeps you on the edge of your seat till the very end!
You will also want to see True Romance. It's Tarantino's first script that was made to film but he did not direct it. It was directed by Tony Scott; Ridley's younger brother. It's a rom-com of sorts that's no joke. You'll laugh in cold sweat. A wonderful film that gets overlooked quite often.
Of course pulp fiction in the classic early tarantino and is wonderful. reservoir dogs has something special in the way it all happens in such limited space and relies on the actors and the dialogue.
As Tarantino says, never write a scene with any one song in mind because it will more than likely be unavailable most of the time. The studio/producers are cheap and they don't want to pay the licensing fee. And you probably know this, but this was the first movie he directed.
In preparation for the torture scene, Michael Madsen(Mr. Blonde) actually drove around with Marvin(The cop) in the trunk of his car. The same car can be seen in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
This was my first experience with Tarantino. For more early Tarantino, be sure to check out True Romance (which Tarantino wrote but did not direct and allowed him the opportunity to make Reservoir Dogs), and his second and third films, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown respectively. Great reaction to an awesome film--one that will always be a part of your life. Every time I hear Stuck in the middle with You, I think about torturing a police officer.
Great reaction!! and, I am under the impression that Tarantino sold the rights to True Romance so he could make Reservoir Dogs. it would be great to see you react to True Romance. it is my Favorite Tarantino movie- SO good, directed by Tony Scott and featuring Christian Slater, Patrica Arquette, Michael Rappaport, James Gandolfini, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Brad Pitt, Samuel L Jackson, Gary Oldman, Val Kilmer and more. Also, From Dusk Till Dawn is also another great one!
Finally seeing this whenever I first did caused me to wonder whether or not a commercial that played in my area all the time in the mid '90s with the song in it was a reference to this.
It's crazy on the DVD version there is a deleted scene when Mr Blonde cuts the cops ear the camera doesn't pan away. You actually see the ear getting sliced off
28:14 he wouldnt rat, cause marvin knew all the time orange was the cop but didnt rat, even when he was about to get burnd, so i gues he wont rat ad this point.
Tarantino's 'Jackie Brown' with Pam Grier was influenced from 70's cult films 'Coffey' and 'Foxy Brown' also starring Pam Grier. They would great reaction films being violent crime thrllers.
It’s also a book called Rum Punch, Tarantino turned the lead character black and changed her last name to Brown and took place in LA instead of Miami. Both great and Tarantino made it his own saying Elmore Leonard is one of his favorite authors
It didn't really pay off for Pink. When he leaves, though it's not shown, you hear the cops outside yelling for him to freeze and then you hear gun fire. It's never shown, but I don't think he makes it. Also Vega, Mister Blonde, is in cannon Vince Vega from Pulp Fiction's brother.
That was a fantastic reaction to Reservoir Dogs!!! Once again: Nicolette is so great, such a fantastic addition to the channel, and I'm totally here for her "early Quentin" trip. I'm assuming that can only mean two things: "Pulp Fiction" and "Jackie Brown", and that's fine by me! These are my three faves! You have great reactors on this channel, Criminal Content! I used to think Johnathan ran this channel, am I wrong about that? If it's Johnathan, you're a great reactor too! Love Cobi's commentaries as well. Nicollette is definitely one of the greats, I never had noticed the tie in to the kemode story at the end. Very cool! I saw this the week it opened and a million times since, I never noticed that!
@ivans.191 The scene with Ordell and Louis in the vehicle and we watch Ordell put it all together. The patience Tarantino showed, letting it just develop naturally, subtle film making at its best.
"Track suit..." Lol On rewatch, look for the orange balloon following Eddie's car 😉 Some cinematic use of track suits you might find entertaining - Crank, with Jason Statham, and Hardcore Henry (an entirely 1st person action movie)
Love your reactions Nicolette 🙂 you're the sweetest and have a very fun personality, so since Tarantino actually wrote the script for True Romance before selling the rights to it to finance Reservoir Dogs, can you make a reaction to True Romance next please?
you missed the part where marvin told orange that he knew he was a cop. that his name was "freddy something". that's how heroic the cop was. even through all that, he didn't give up orange.
she got that, but we can't keep everything in the highlights - we left in the bit where he had heard from him, and nicolette reacts to that bit of info, definitely
Such a cool ass movie. Loved your enthusiasm watching it. Definitely check out Pulp Fiction, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, From Dusk Till Dawn, and True Romance. The last two are different directors with Tarantino stories but awesome.
I've always thought pulp fiction was Quentin's homage to a couple of early Stanley Kubrick films, Dr strangelove, and The Killing! And a movie he named his production company after, A Band Apart. So I'm writing this to give u some pre pro tips, leading up to pulp fiction, so it's more about Quentin and his earlier credits, particularly reservoir Dogs! Before this, Tarantino had writing creds for Dusk til Dawn with George Clooney and True Romance! Which is a movie about himself being a video store clerk, but turning Hollywood fantasy! True Romance is action packed, completely unreal, and totally star studded! He also did co writing/directing with Robert Rodriguez on The Mariachi , with Antonio Banderas and Death proof, with Kurt Russell!! He often has dialogue heavy movies, and long segments in them, where actors seem to be out of character, and having a discussion in various life circumstances, like the breakfast scene here, or in reservoir Dogs, or the foot massage scene in Pulp Fiction here! Pro tips, Vic Vega from reservoir Dogs is Vince Vega's brother from pulp fiction! Eddie bunker as Mr Blue was a former Bank robber, who went to jail, and started writing crime stories, while in! Mr White put up 5 mil to get this movie made, so he could play Mr White! James Woods was up for either Mr White or Mr Pink roles, but his manager didn't give him the script. James fired him! Sam Jackson was supposed to play the role of the black dude undercover cop, but Tarantino said, wait im writing another part for you, which became Pulp Fiction! If u watch his movies, he uses the same actors over and over! Sam, harvey, Tim, and others, in several of his movies...Sam the most. This, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Hateful Eight, and a voice in Inglorious basterds. Nobody liked the Boss, most of the other actors wanted to beat his ass! He thought he was old school Hollywood royalty and above the other actors. Like several of his other movies, this is based on an old Japanese samurai story, about a group of samurai who get slaughtered in a revenge ploy. The few left realize, one of them is a traitor who tipped off a warlord. Also, search up, Reservoir Dogs posters....there are so many iconic shots from this movie, I have 4 posters as wall art! U may not like his language all the time, but in private moments, street level , homey folks, rednecks, the brothas on the corner, on the block, the crazy chicas....u know they be talkin to each other like this. The moral of this story? Always know the drugs u are about to take!😅 Also yes, Quentin has foot fetish! So in a way, Quentin lied...he daid he would only direct 10 movies. But if u add up movies he had a bit of writing or director time in, u have to add. True Romance, Death Proof, The Mariachi, and Dusk til Dawn. Pro tip....the OD shot scene, he has 2 board games on his table...life and operation! Since his 70s tv show, Welcome back Kotter, through every movie he did through the 2000s, Travolta always did a dance scene!
I'd recommend watching Pulp Fiction next, if you haven't already seen it. It was the next movie Tarantino did after Reservoir Dogs, and it was his breakthrough hit.
Have you seen Natural Born Killers (1994)? Tarantino helped write it, Oliver Stone directs. Starring Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis and Tom Sizemore, with a small but impactful role by Robert Downey Jr. It has the violence of a Tarantino movie and the social commentary of an Oliver Stone movie. Reviews were kinda mixed, to be honest, but I loved it.
Check out 'True Romance" a Tony Scott film written by Tarantino. Same Neo-Noir whacked out Tarantino characters and vibe. Another stellar cast: Christian Slater, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, James Gandolphini, Brad Pitt...and on and on.
Nicolette + Tarantino -- Round 1 !
PULP FICTION Reaction: th-cam.com/video/9Tb95wOrkNA/w-d-xo.html
We need a rundown of what we have to look forward to experiencing with you Nicolette. What Tarantino have you seen already.
@@Compuman202 paging Nicolette here, but when we did the list it was only 3 recent films of his she had seen - nothing before django, don't think
All this Pam Greer talk makes me want Jackie Brown
@@notmee2388 she def has not seen that
@@criminalcontent well then you have your homework. Jackie Brown is the baddest B in the whole damn town!
Pretty sure Mr. Pink gets caught by the cops. If you turn the sound up after he walks out you can hear the police say "Get on the floor, put your hands up!" and Mr. Pink replies "Don't shoot! I got shot godamnit!"
He definitely does, probably killed
I personally think Mr. pink got away and is the waiter at Jack Rabbit Slims in Pulp Fiction. Call back/karma for his non belief in tipping.
There are audible gunshots too after you hear the muffled yelling. Which always implied to me that Pink was surrounded upon exiting and was shot when he wouldn’t surrender.
@@timhibbard4226 we seen on screen that he shot his way out of the heist so maybe he shot his way out again 🤷♂️🤔
Pink bought it outside.
100%
"This is going to be in my head now whenever I hear this song." is the definition of Tarantino.
"This is gonna be in my head forever now..."
That's most of us 😅
Mr Blonde torturing the cop to Stealer's Wheel is SO iconic. I always think of Madsen's little dance with the gas can 😅
"How bout a little fire Scarecrow?" - contender for darkest Wizard of Oz reference
I saw this movie in theaters and I still think of this scene every time I hear that song.
They didn’t get to see how it was used after they licensed it and were misled. They we furious once the movie came out and I think it led to changes in what was standard to how music was licensed
Don't worry, it only stays in your head for about 15 years
Everyone gets traumatized by the torture scene and can't listen to the song without thinking it about it, but it's the reason i fell in love with the song 😂
Harvey Keitel & Quentin Tarantino reunited again in Pulp Fiction & From Dusk Till Dawn. You definitely need to watch those movies too.
Everyone needs to watch EVERY Tarantino film haha
Also a Stephen Wright (the KBilly DJ) connection between Reservoir Dogs and the QT written Natural Born Killers
Harvey is responsible for getting this movie made
Tim Roth also in Pulp Fiction. And four rooms.
Pulp Fiction is one of the best films ever made. I am not exaggerating. The cast, the plot, the editing, the music, all of it is amazing
The biggest surprise in this entire movie is… there’s no feet scene lol. The man is one hell of a storyteller. My favorite thing in this is the tiny detail of after the ear is cut off and he goes to get the gas when he comes back in the music is synced to the exact amount of time he was outside.

No female characters, unless you count the carjacking victim who shot Orange.
@@jimuicker4731 The executives wanted him to cast a woman and he said absolutely not. It's about a robbery. Thank God he didn't listen.
@@nathanlindahl8336 🤣 That would have been crazy. Everybody knows women can't rob if they have pretty toes.
@@jimuicker4731 there's a deleted scene where mr orange speaks to a woman at a big kahuna burger. no joke.

This is Tarantino debut and broke the rules of cinema. Masterpieces like Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Death Proof, Inglorious Basterds, Kill Bill vols I and II... and real jewels as screenplayer like From Dusk till Dawn. It´s my favourite universe by far.
That 90% unalived prediction was alarmingly accurate!
Who lived? Isn't it a 💯%? Pink didn't make it he got smoked when he fled the warehouse....
first time I watched this movie, I immediately rewound the tape and watched the whole thing again. Twice in 1 night, I was that impressed.
I had it in heavy rotation with True Romance for most of my middle teens.
Ah, the former smoker in me fondly remembers the traditional Zippo Snap-Light technique.
It takes a degree of finesse:
Too hard of a snap, and the flint wheel can scrape/cut your finger.
Too light of a snap, and you do as Mr. White does....snap a dozen times before you catch a light.
I miss the good ole days sometimes.

Yeah, tipping is not generally done in Australia. Nobody expects it. The staff are paid well enough that they don't do it for tips.
It's the way the restaurant industry evolved in this country and it sucks. There are many factors but it still sucks.

Old Joe is played by Lawrence Tierney, a 'heavy' from plenty of film noir classics who basically got kicked out of every Hollywood bar for fighting back in the day. After the first week of filming this, the entire cast and crew couldn't stand the guy!. Try to catch TWO DAYS IN THE VALLEY (1996) with James Spader, Charlize Theron, Danny Aiello, Terri Hatcher, etc., etc.
I love Nicolette.... very great reaction, thank u
Glad you enjoyed !!
Nice Guy Eddie is Sean Penn’s brother. He was the guy in Footloose that Kevin Bacon taught to dance. He sadly passed away! RIP
The argument in the car about Pam Grier, Tarantino had Pam star in Jackie Brown it’s a must see! Also Vega’s brother Vince Vega is in Pulp Fiction!!
So cool to watch your emotion and investment in the characters. Glad you shared that with us!❤
Mr Blonde is Vincent Vega's (Pulp Fiction) brother!
This was the first Tarantino film I saw on VHS and it's pretty good amazing!
I was 5-6 years old, i thought the main characters were the good guys, but it turns out that they are criminals, as they begin to distrust one another as they realize one of their own is a police informant, but which one? Keeps you on the edge of your seat till the very end!
Nice comments as per usual, Mr. White 😉 haha
6 years old? I was 49 when I first saw this.
You will also want to see True Romance. It's Tarantino's first script that was made to film but he did not direct it. It was directed by Tony Scott; Ridley's younger brother. It's a rom-com of sorts that's no joke. You'll laugh in cold sweat. A wonderful film that gets overlooked quite often.
Of course pulp fiction in the classic early tarantino and is wonderful. reservoir dogs has something special in the way it all happens in such limited space and relies on the actors and the dialogue.
As Tarantino says, never write a scene with any one song in mind because it will more than likely be unavailable most of the time. The studio/producers are cheap and they don't want to pay the licensing fee. And you probably know this, but this was the first movie he directed.
Something I missed for decades is that at the cafe Mr Orange rats on Mr Pink about not tipping. And no one picks up on it.
Buschemi gets killed outside. Listen for the gunshots outside.
In preparation for the torture scene, Michael Madsen(Mr. Blonde) actually drove around with Marvin(The cop) in the trunk of his car. The same car can be seen in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
There are many things I think of and many things that I feel surrounding this film, but maybe the most important one is, "Let's get a taco."
lol right because it's a developing friendship w the enemy when that is said
This was my first experience with Tarantino. For more early Tarantino, be sure to check out True Romance (which Tarantino wrote but did not direct and allowed him the opportunity to make Reservoir Dogs), and his second and third films, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown respectively. Great reaction to an awesome film--one that will always be a part of your life. Every time I hear Stuck in the middle with You, I think about torturing a police officer.
Great reaction!! and, I am under the impression that Tarantino sold the rights to True Romance so he could make Reservoir Dogs. it would be great to see you react to True Romance. it is my Favorite Tarantino movie- SO good, directed by Tony Scott and featuring Christian Slater, Patrica Arquette, Michael Rappaport, James Gandolfini, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Brad Pitt, Samuel L Jackson, Gary Oldman, Val Kilmer and more. Also, From Dusk Till Dawn is also another great one!
on the docket !
Sweet, another Nicolette reaction! And diving (back) into the world of Tarantino!
yep - there are many
Finally seeing this whenever I first did caused me to wonder whether or not a commercial that played in my area all the time in the mid '90s with the song in it was a reference to this.
Though it is never mentioned but in the Tarrentino Universe Vic Vega is the older brother to Vincent Vega(John Travolta in ‘Pulp Fiction’) 😎
It's crazy on the DVD version there is a deleted scene when Mr Blonde cuts the cops ear the camera doesn't pan away. You actually see the ear getting sliced off
Finally another Nicolette video! Thank you!
More to come!
28:14 he wouldnt rat, cause marvin knew all the time orange was the cop but didnt rat, even when he was about to get burnd, so i gues he wont rat ad this point.
The Alabama woman that Mister White mentions is Alabama from True Romance.
First time seeing this cool chick react. Very good!!
she will be a regular here moving forward along w coby - having her watch tarantinos, coen bros,. and scorseses for next few weeks
Tarantino's 'Jackie Brown' with Pam Grier was influenced from 70's cult films 'Coffey' and 'Foxy Brown' also starring Pam Grier. They would great reaction films being violent crime thrllers.
It’s also a book called Rum Punch, Tarantino turned the lead character black and changed her last name to Brown and took place in LA instead of Miami. Both great and Tarantino made it his own saying Elmore Leonard is one of his favorite authors
So great to see you back Nicolette.
more to come !
Great to see you back!
It didn't really pay off for Pink. When he leaves, though it's not shown, you hear the cops outside yelling for him to freeze and then you hear gun fire. It's never shown, but I don't think he makes it. Also Vega, Mister Blonde, is in cannon Vince Vega from Pulp Fiction's brother.
You can tell that Joe is the boss because he could tell at a glance that somebody hadn't thrown in on the tip.
Nicolette, you don't need to pep talk yourself in the morning.
Because you ARE super cool.
Best reaction ever.
many thanks !
"The Asphalt Jungle" (1950) - a seriously excellent crime caper
He wrote TRUE ROMANCE which is awesome as well
New drinking game: How many times will she say: "bla bla bla and I'm here for it"
Mr. Pink was going to take the diamonds to start his vintage record collection for Ghost World, gosh!
Best Res Dogs reaction I've seen. Well done!!
That was a fantastic reaction to Reservoir Dogs!!! Once again: Nicolette is so great, such a fantastic addition to the channel, and I'm totally here for her "early Quentin" trip. I'm assuming that can only mean two things: "Pulp Fiction" and "Jackie Brown", and that's fine by me! These are my three faves! You have great reactors on this channel, Criminal Content! I used to think Johnathan ran this channel, am I wrong about that? If it's Johnathan, you're a great reactor too! Love Cobi's commentaries as well. Nicollette is definitely one of the greats, I never had noticed the tie in to the kemode story at the end. Very cool! I saw this the week it opened and a million times since, I never noticed that!
probably the kill bills as well - thanks for the kind words! you were here when we had like 30 subs !
Of all his films, I believe his best work as a director is Jackie Brown.
Thank you. My brother and I have been arguing about this for 20 years.
His least violent film for sure 😃
@ivans.191 The scene with Ordell and Louis in the vehicle and we watch Ordell put it all together. The patience Tarantino showed, letting it just develop naturally, subtle film making at its best.
@@ivans.191
The only one he didn’t write.
@@eddienash2152 tell your brother that he is correct.
"Track suit..."
Lol
On rewatch, look for the orange balloon following Eddie's car 😉
Some cinematic use of track suits you might find entertaining - Crank, with Jason Statham, and Hardcore Henry (an entirely 1st person action movie)
So has Reservoir Dogs ever been made into a Broadway play? It could be done so easily, almost the entire film takes place in the warehouse
Love your reactions Nicolette 🙂 you're the sweetest and have a very fun personality, so since Tarantino actually wrote the script for True Romance before selling the rights to it to finance Reservoir Dogs, can you make a reaction to True Romance next please?
NICOLETTE YAAAAAAY🥰
you missed the part where marvin told orange that he knew he was a cop. that his name was "freddy something". that's how heroic the cop was. even through all that, he didn't give up orange.
she got that, but we can't keep everything in the highlights - we left in the bit where he had heard from him, and nicolette reacts to that bit of info, definitely
Such a cool ass movie. Loved your enthusiasm watching it. Definitely check out Pulp Fiction, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, From Dusk Till Dawn, and True Romance. The last two are different directors with Tarantino stories but awesome.
Nicolette ❤❤❤
Pro tip, ive got posters and still shots, for art, all over my place. 4 movies. Bladerunner, Bladerunner 2049, boondock saints, reservoir dogs!
Definitely check out Jackie Brown, one of QT's best.
I've always thought pulp fiction was Quentin's homage to a couple of early Stanley Kubrick films, Dr strangelove, and The Killing! And a movie he named his production company after, A Band Apart. So I'm writing this to give u some pre pro tips, leading up to pulp fiction, so it's more about Quentin and his earlier credits, particularly reservoir Dogs! Before this, Tarantino had writing creds for Dusk til Dawn with George Clooney and True Romance! Which is a movie about himself being a video store clerk, but turning Hollywood fantasy!
True Romance is action packed, completely unreal, and totally star studded! He also did co writing/directing with Robert Rodriguez on The Mariachi , with Antonio Banderas and Death proof, with Kurt Russell!! He often has dialogue heavy movies, and long segments in them, where actors seem to be out of character, and having a discussion in various life circumstances, like the breakfast scene here, or in reservoir Dogs, or the foot massage scene in Pulp Fiction here! Pro tips, Vic Vega from reservoir Dogs is Vince Vega's brother from pulp fiction! Eddie bunker as Mr Blue was a former Bank robber, who went to jail, and started writing crime stories, while in! Mr White put up 5 mil to get this movie made, so he could play Mr White! James Woods was up for either Mr White or Mr Pink roles, but his manager didn't give him the script. James fired him! Sam Jackson was supposed to play the role of the black dude undercover cop, but Tarantino said, wait im writing another part for you, which became Pulp Fiction! If u watch his movies, he uses the same actors over and over! Sam, harvey, Tim, and others, in several of his movies...Sam the most. This, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Hateful Eight, and a voice in Inglorious basterds. Nobody liked the Boss, most of the other actors wanted to beat his ass! He thought he was old school Hollywood royalty and above the other actors. Like several of his other movies, this is based on an old Japanese samurai story, about a group of samurai who get slaughtered in a revenge ploy. The few left realize, one of them is a traitor who tipped off a warlord. Also, search up, Reservoir Dogs posters....there are so many iconic shots from this movie, I have 4 posters as wall art!
U may not like his language all the time, but in private moments, street level , homey folks, rednecks, the brothas on the corner, on the block, the crazy chicas....u know they be talkin to each other like this. The moral of this story? Always know the drugs u are about to take!😅
Also yes, Quentin has foot fetish! So in a way, Quentin lied...he daid he would only direct 10 movies. But if u add up movies he had a bit of writing or director time in, u have to add. True Romance, Death Proof, The Mariachi, and Dusk til Dawn.
Pro tip....the OD shot scene, he has 2 board games on his table...life and operation! Since his 70s tv show, Welcome back Kotter, through every movie he did through the 2000s, Travolta always did a dance scene!
I'd recommend watching Pulp Fiction next, if you haven't already seen it. It was the next movie Tarantino did after Reservoir Dogs, and it was his breakthrough hit.
coming soon !
Love it! Keep on going down the list.. Pulp Fiction next!
That's the plan!
Mr Blonde`s car was Leo`s car in Once upon a Time in Hollywood.
whoa did not know that !
This is Quentin Tarantino first movie he directed in his entire life. Also do more Quentin Tarantino movies BTW.
Hate the be the "ACTUALLY" guy, but My Best Friend's Birthday (1987) was technically Tarantino's first film! Its incomplete form is on TH-cam!
And completely ripped off City on Fire
thank you
I'm with Steve on this; it's not 'tipping' when it's a significant part of the income. JUst pay decent wages instead - like in the rest of the world.
Great reaction Nicolette!
Thank you!! 😁
Coby & Nicolette ❤
Have you seen Natural Born Killers (1994)? Tarantino helped write it, Oliver Stone directs. Starring Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis and Tom Sizemore, with a small but impactful role by Robert Downey Jr. It has the violence of a Tarantino movie and the social commentary of an Oliver Stone movie. Reviews were kinda mixed, to be honest, but I loved it.
Check out 'True Romance" a Tony Scott film written by Tarantino. Same Neo-Noir whacked out Tarantino characters and vibe. Another stellar cast: Christian Slater, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, James Gandolphini, Brad Pitt...and on and on.
19:03 so true, he looks like a gangster version of chandler bing
I love your reactions! I suggest one of the greatest crime thrillers of all time ; "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"
This was crazy AF!
You're gonna love pulp fiction
Vic from this and Vincent from pulp fiction are brothers
If you listen closely Mr.Pink is caught outside right before the police burst through the door
After this movie came out, Madonna gave Tarantino a signed album and wrote on it, “To Quentin, it’s not about dick. It’s about love. Madonna.”
lol
The best Tarantino movie by a mile.
Well now wait second … lol
Very nice reaction. I'm not sure Mr Pink got away with the diamonds
You gotta do True Romance next! Tarantino wrote the script but didn’t direct.
Still my favorite Tarantino film.
Stephen Wright is the dj, hilarious one liner comic!!!
I haven't seen him since on HBO way back when.
