Quentin: Please bring your own clothes to the set
also Quentin: covers his actors in blood in every scene
Lol
Also Quentin- steals all the actresses own shoes
People keep asking me why I'm wearing all red.
Yeah. Poor Tim Roth. He spent a LOT of time covered in fake blood. That stuff's probably really uncomfortable.
So glad that Buchemi got Mr Pink, he was fantastic. Especially with Harvey in the bathroom scene, which is a brilliant two hander.
Two hander ?
@@beastmode3799 A scene, or play, containing only two characters.
Agreed. Tarantino is an amazing writer and director but he is a subpar actor.
28. They weren't REALLY dogs.
29. There is no actual reservoir in the film.
Whoaaa, really?! 😮😮😮😮😮
@@malsmals Shut up
@Cameron Lehenbauer LAYNE ADRIEL IS LOOKING FOR YOU "CAMERON".......
@Sawyer Tate I think you and Cameron Lehenbauer and Layne Adriel should all get together for a circle jerk........on instagram
I have a board game i frequently play with my five year old, and she deliberately makes a fuss about wanting to be the purple game piece just so i'll tell her, "you're not mr. purple. Some other guy on some other job is mr. purple; you're mister _pink_ ".
For a thirtysomething year old housewife, i do a pretty damn good lawrence tierney. At least if you ask my kiddo.
So, you like to sit around typing comments about playing games, paying tacit homages to great movies. Okay, I'll type one. I just did.
"Geez Mom, I'm over it, its water under the bridge, I'm Mr. Pink, let's move on with the Heist"
I wish you were my mom
I can't picture Mr. Blonde dancing around and cutting the cop's ear off to Ballroom Blitz. 😆
the dance would have to change a bit maybe a twist, dad dancing sort of thing
Daragh Logan just like his brother Vincent Vega
Maybe if Mr. Blonde was played by dude's girlfriend...
Rob K. Methedrine might change that.
I need to listen to that shit again 😂
Lawrence Tierney played Elaine's father in one episode of Seinfeld. He was so seriously scary they decided not to make him a recurring character.
The Jacket is one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes. "We had a funny guy with us in Korea. Tailgunner. They blew his brains out all over the Pacific. There's nothing funny about that."
He caused Jerry to ruin his suede jacket
Even when he was young and handsome, he was terribly scary to me!
another reason its reservoir dogs: "You gonna keep barking, little doggy, or are ya gonna bite?"
It’s “Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite”
@@7Jstamper what was that? I'm sorry I didn't catch you. could you repeat it?
Reservoir dogs is also slang for rats, as there was a rat in the crew
@@mekkarain7136 is that cuz they end up in the reservoir when they get killed for crossing the gang?
@@mekkarain7136that slang comes from the movie lmao
I'd forgotten about Tim Roth being in The Hit. When I saw Reservoir Dogs at the AMC Maple back in '92, the cashier felt the need to warn me "This a violent movie, you know," to which I cheekily replied "Harvey Keitel holding a gun in both hands on the poster; I would hope so." Also, in the theater, I could hear an elderly couple a few seats from me grumbling how "terrible" the movie was. For me, the most memorable scene is Randy Brooks coaching Tim Roth on going undercover and putting himself into the story and he's talking to Roth in the bathroom story he's made up.
I love the dialogue of those scenes with that black gentleman teaching Tim Roth’s character about how to be naturalistic and “if you ain’t a good actor you’re a bad actor” he also said
The bathroom story is more memorable to me than the Madsen vs cop scene. It perfectly depicts what anxiety-filled moments look and feel like. That was definitely an amusing anecdote.
One of Tarantino's best films in my opinion. I love the writing and the cast. I also love movies like these where it takes place mainly in just one room.
Yeah an embalming room
Nah it's not. His best movie is pulp fiction. That's it.
@@jgrullon32 Pulp fiction is definitely in my top five.
Tarantino has the charm to make stars beg to him just to be involved in his movies.
Idk about the charm but most certainly the talent to produce great works of art
Sad that ole Burt didn't live long enough to be in Tarantinos last film.
Yeah, he definitely takes the cake on that one
this is one of the best cast movies ever, I cant imagine Clooney in it, he's so elegant. I can't see him rolling around with these guys, no way. and no way Tarantino was crazy or obnoxious enough for Mr. Pink. He barely, BARELY pulled off the pervert creepo brother in Dusk Til Dawn.
“He pulled off the weirdo act.”
I know Sonya it would be like casting Cary Grant for the role.
Tarantino writes for people he imagined not for himself but i liked him as mr brown.
First time I ever watched this movie was with my aunt and she paused and replayed the ear scene.
I think your aunt and I would get along well.
@@algiersc9957 she is an awesome lady. One of my favorite people.
Your aunt is a psycho and I like her
HAHAHA
Every time I hear "Stuck in the middle with you" on the radio I immediately think of this movie and picture it in my head.
落水狗 is the literal translation of Reservoir dogs, and is actually an idiom/analogy for describing someone who was above others but has since fallen (into the water) and now is looked down upon by everyone because of the discrepancy of their previous status to now
I think that this perfectly describes what the movie was talking about. 6 guys being cocky on a robbery because they think they are undefeated to eventually all dying/arrested in a span of a day.
Tarantino has some affinity for Japanese culture, and I suspect Chinese culture as well - the Kill Bill series. Perhaps he knew of this. Very interesting.
I personally know of a dog that died in a reservoir, no doubt searching for water to quench his thirst. So, it is common across societies that have piped in water and don't care that animals may drown.
People believe this? This is completely wong.
Ah, I do love a bit of Reservoir Dogs. Whilst I did know quite a lot of these, there were few nuggets of info that I did not, so good job!
@@taurix2428 He is most assuredly both my good man. 👅
@@captaincaveman2040 A little from column A and a little from Column B...
Got the anniversary edition that has a little aluminum gas can for a case and a big book of matches as a DVD holder, and all of this is apart of a "Pop Up Video" style trivia during the movie
Legendary stand up comedian and actor Steven Wright as the radio DJ.
About 25 years ago I saw a movie at 530 am on a Sunday called The Killing. It starred Sterlin Hayden, and Stanley Kubrick directed early in his career, 1956 I think. Was shocked, as Reservoir Dogs was a more gritty version of the same movie. Then remembered that Tarantino dropped out of school at 16 and worked in a video rental place. I’m sure he saw The Killing and it strongly influenced Reservoir Dogs. See the movie if you have any doubt. Also, saw an interview with Madsen, who also starred in a child’s movie, Free Willie. He said little kids would see him and gravitate to him, but their parent would be horrified.
Buddy turned me on to " the killing" now I own a copy 👍👍
People only seem to count profanity and slurs in Tarantino’s films.
Goodfellas I'm pretty sure had the most use, or atleast with one character, which is unsurprisingly Joe Pesci
Lebowski
Certain media have a hardon for it
@@ninetoedlizard6650 Nah it must be The Wolf of Wallstreet, surely?
@@FrostedFlakes1800 never seen it but I've heard that Joe Pesci holds the record for most F Bombs from one character in one movie
Best cast ever to play in a movie together.
G.J. KOSTER I think you might be right. The only movie that could possibly compete with Reservoir Dogs for best cast, would be Clue.
Clue? Wth
I can’t lie I think money woulda fit really well
Wouldn't be as good tho
You probably didn't know that the "warehouse" was the former Utter-McKinley Highland Park Mortuary. You can see stored caskets and scenes were shot in the preparation room. I spent 3 years, off and on, embalming at that facility.
The fact that you can also hear that information on the audio commentary of Reservoir Dogs and also read it on IMDB's trivia facts for the film makes your claim extremely less likely.
@@jimsty7550 So, I should provide you with a copy of my Embalming License and pay stubbs from Utter Mckinley? If your intent was to anger me, it didn't work. I don't owe you a single word.
@@Flamingtorso I did intend anger you. Mission accomplished 💪😂
"Madsen disguised his discomfort perfectly" - This is an actor's job - to be someone else besides themself.
You missed the mentioning of Alabama from True Romance
by Harvey Keitel.
I guess I missed that too or forgot. I've only seen Reservoir Dogs 3-4 times. I liked True Romance much better and have seen it twice as often.
Good review. However, and somebody may have already mentioned this, but Samuel L. originally auditioned for the role of Orange's handler, Holdaway, not the role of Orange himself.
I want all the posters!!!
@@crazyjoedavola5430 like 20 bucks each online. Not bad
Same, looking out buying each one of them
If this list taught me one thing its that agents suck.
# 28 the vic vega (Michael madson) from RD was actually going to be the hitman along side Jules (Sam jackson) in pulp fiction, but Michael Madson had scheduling conflicts, so it was Trovolta's part and he was changed to Vincent (vic's brother).
I've heard Tarantino wrote a movie about Vic n Vincent Vega..who were brothers..
Also, you forgot to mention that Bucimmi played the waiter at Jack rabbit slims. Another fun connection.
Tim Roth plays Freddy Newandyke, which comes from the Dutch 'Nieuwendijk" and means "new dyke". It's a very famous street running from Amsterdam Central Station to the city center. His character is Mr. Orange, orange is the Dutch national colour. I always wondered if that was a coincidence or deliberately done by Tarantino.
did you just said MCCLUSKEY
One of the minor reasons I love Reservoir Dogs for, is, like, have you all forgotten how Mr Orange died in puddle of his own blood? Brewtl.
"Her brother, Sean Penn?"
For me, every movie made before Dogs I label BC or BQ. Tarentino's dialogue ushered in the New Testament.
They forgot to mention when Mr. Blonde lights his Zippo to set Nash on fire he says, "Have some fire scarecrow," which is a line by the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz.
Another QT pop culture reference.
i still sometimes listen to this soundtrack, its perfect
zer0 95 The opening intro is.......ICONIC!!!
One thing I didn’t know was the warehouse had new coffins in the background I didn’t realize it until recently. I’ve only seen it 100 times
What I never realized was that they were in a mortuary warehouse.
4:22 in your side note you referred to Chris Penn as “her” other than that great video and I laughed at that joke about my mom.
I bet you're a big Lee Marvin fan?
"Hey, me too, I loved that guy"
Scott Pepper Couldn’t stop repeating that all year.
@@MrReymoclif714 I was lucky enough to see reservoir dogs in the early 90's at the cinema
My heart's pounding so.....? You want fries with that?
Did Mr Pink survive? I thought we heard gun fire in the distance when Joe, Eddie and Mr White are facing off, after Pink has left the warehouse.
Yea I guess he meant the only one that didn't definitely die
@@Damidas He gets shot by the police outside. If you pay attention closely, you can hear the police pull up to the warehouse, tell Mr. Pink to get down, then shoot...
Jordan Keith yeah I caught that, but just because he got shot doesn’t mean that he died
@@Damidas he died
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Underrated film, acting is top notch. The critics just didn't get it!
Holy Crap!!!I I watch this movie a couple of times a year. So well written, so well acted, so well filmed. After a long long history of watching and enjoying, it is mind boggling how much I didn't know.😆
Another thing you may not know: the slow motion walking in the credits was inspired by A Clockwork Orange.
The uniform of the suits etc was started in Nottingham, England in the early 1970s it was a derivation of the Mod fashion.
I guess that episode on Seinfeld with Lawrence Tierney was true. Nobody wants to be around him in real life and makes everyone uncomfortable.
Paul Campisi Apparently Tierney tried to steal a knife off the seinfeld set when shooting those episodes.
Classic episode. I’d forgotten that one until I saw this comment.
Lawrence Tierney was beaten to death with a baseball bat by a psychopathic lycanthrope in Stephen King's movie Silver Bullet. 🐺 🐺 🐺 🐺 🐺🐺 🐺🐺 🐺🐺
Tierney played a holodeck gangster charcter in Star Trek - Next Generation. When they got sick of him, they just let him stroll off the holodeck and he evaporated.
@@captaincaveman2040 As I remember, Terry O'Quinn played the sheriff in Silver Bullet. I could be wrong though, assuming Everett McGill didn't bludgeon more than one person to death.
Here's another, look close Mr White in the bathroom,misses to light his smoke, takes a drag, it's not even lit
That was the only thing that ever bothered me in this film
One of my favorite movies ever
You missed one at the start of the film there given the tips to the waitress and there about to leave and Mr blue says "ok ramblers let's get rambling " it was in dusk till dawn 😂😂👍🐰🌸
Also in Like 2 more of his movies
Mr Blue doesn't say that. It's lawrence bender's line.
Emma Kelly Deader than DILLINGER!!!
Yah that was Joe who said that line, not Mr. Blue but good spot.
Did anyone who saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood notice that Tarantino used the name The 14 Fists of McCluskey from the deleted female scene character called McCluskey at 8:26. Wow, I always knew he recycled old names from movies as a easter egg of some sort but damn that's wicked cool!
Yeah i noticed that too
Ok, I need see RD again now...
Ok so there's some confusion here as to what happened to Mr. Pink, people say that:
A) He died in the shootout with the police outside
B) He survived, but was arrested by police outside
C) He survived and escaped
I'm pretty damn sure it's not A though because QT confirmed that he's alive.
BadFellas 01 he went straight and became a waiter at jackrabbit slims
Celso Vera that I like, I can believe that!
Problem is that reservoir dogs takes place a week after pulp fiction
@@bean181 really, how do you know?
I can never listen. To Stuck In The Middle with You without cringing lol
batgurrl you should hear the Louise Redknapp Version if you want to hear a REALLY bad version of it
Kimberley Morris it’s not the song it’s the original I am talking about. Anybody who saw Reservoir Dogs knows what I am talking about hehe
How can i not imagine my ear bein sliced off to that song..
Whenever Minty Comedic Arts uploads, I cli- ...wait a second...
You a Minty-Lad as well? Fookall.
@@giantfisher Yup.
This info is straight off of IMDB.
Sean McConnell
Your point?
newthrash1221 they don’t do any research properly
Kimberley Morris
Imdb is a perfectly credible source for movie trivia, dweeb.
@@newthrash1221 eat shit
0:13 Johnny's Bar is the yellow and red sign you see on the far left for split second. The sign is gone, but the bar is still there! HLP forever!!!
Not to mention, it's a young Mr. Pink taking Mia's and Vincent's order at Jack Rabbit Slim's diner that rockin' evening... Dig that shit, Boss!
Rainface Atriarch but that was a job that society deemed tipworthy
Good work on the background information, I only knew a few of these facts! However, you fail to mention that the take of Mr. Whire taking multiple attempts to 'click' light his Zippo was kept for authenticity, even though Keitel fails to light his cigarette in that scene!
I think Tarantino’s actual personality is emulated in the way Mr. Pink acts. I could see him playing him perfectly
LOL! I love your real person inserts (or whatever you call that) and, normally i HATE background music. But your use of it really goes absolutely well with the dynamic of the video and I REALLY LOVE it! ♥♥✨✨👍👍
Reservoir dogs is actually Tarantino's first film,
*I think what makes reservoir dogs such a charm is that every character ever showed is likable, even down to the kidnapped cop, you feel for him and when he dies at least I felt bad. The ending in of itself made me feel bad but I like movies that leave an impact on me, that's what I'd call a good movie.
Huhh Mr blonde
Actually, Edward Bunker wasn't the only "real-life criminal" in the film. Lawrence Tierney had a pretty long sheet himself.
It’s basically WC just reading the IMDb page
*Madsen*
"This role makes me uncomfortable"
*also Madsen off camera*
"Get in the trunk"
I liked Reservoir Dogs, although while it is a little too short, I liked it. I thought that they should’ve gone more into the “Who Done it?” But that’s all the bad things I have to say about it
Not only is this film have relation to pulp fiction from the radio ad and John Travolta and Michael Madson being brothers. It also has a reference to True Romance and how Mr white used to work with alabama
Mr Pink does survive and become a waiter named Buddy at Jack Rabbit Slims
No, Pink dies after he tried getting away after the Mexican Standoff between Eddie, Larry/White and Joe. At the beginning of the movie, he even said in the beginning of the movie: 'I used to work minimum wage. And when I did, I wasn't lucky enough to have a job that society deemed tip-worthy'. In Pulp Fiction, we can clearly see that it's a big mess there. Vincent Vega even calls it a 'wax-museum with a pulse'.
It goes like this: Pink works at JBR --> He quits and becomes a gangster --> After the Mexican Standoff, he tries getting away but gets killed by the cops (take your volume up a notch when he tries getting away, you can hear him and the cops).
DannyBos Tarantino literally confirmed that he survived and got away...
DannyBos you didn’t get the joke did you...??
Also "K Billy's super sounds of the 70s" a foreshadow of Kill Bill and how Bills favorite music era was the 70s
Side note. Guy Ritchie, who married Madonna, opened his great movie Snatch with a dialogue about how the virgin birth never really happened but was do to translation errors. This “like a virgin” discussion was in direct response to the breakfast scene in which Madonna is discussed
Mr Blonde and Steelers Wheel are forever locked together!
Mr. Pink also dies. You can hear the gunshots at the end of the movie.
I for one am glad they cut the only scene with a woman in it purely because it features some fairly atrocious talking-while-eating.
Lol!
Cold-blooded murder and torture, that's okee-dokee!
But eating while talking? Please, let's try to act like civil, mannered adults.
My GOD, Pink Floyd post-Syd Barret absolutely SSSUCKS. Can't believe he actually considered that.
Any car guys here? @10:14 the red car looks like a '70s European Ford Capri. Relatively rare in US of A.
Very much enjoy your videos Mr. WhatCulture!!!
I don't think the female cop is actually named McClusky. Another character calls her "McClusky" as a reference to the character of the same name in The Godfather. Officer McClusky is the guy who gets shot in the restaurant
Seems like a book put onto a movie screen, I'm guessing maybe its the nonlinear style.
That's an interesting observation considering that QT used that fully in Pulp and other films especially Inglorious, Kill, H8ful and Django. And that he's stated he leans toward carefully composing the script that way that can be read like a novel and he wants to write books after completing his 10 film limit.
I always thought Buscemi playing Buddy Holly in Pulp Fiction was a way to hide his identity after maybe escaping arrest at the end of Reservoir Dogs. Seeing as they're in the same universe, and Buscemi seeming to hate his life as a server.
And now he's asking for steak temperature request from the brother of a guy he pulled off the diamond heist with.
Holy shit! James Woods? You'd think this movie couldn't get any better than it already is. That agent done fucked up.
It kinda bums me out that Steven Wright wasn’t mentioned on this list. Especially considering his dry lead up contribution to the torture scene. But maybe his involvement was only cut and dry.
Fact 28 - Naming the gang after colors was ripped off (sorry, 'homaged') from 1974's The Taking of Pelham One Two Three
U guys usually don't do things u didn't know lists. I love em! And this is one of my favorite movies ever!
The first time I watch this film I was working an evening visitation at a funeral home and the warehouse is a funeral home embalming warehouse with the hearse, embalming sinks, funeral chairs and body lift. How fitting!
Tarantino's best directorial work. However True Romance is his best work of all time.
Agreed, true romance has to be my favourite tarantino film
Hopper Vs Walken. Best showdown! Wish it lasted longer.
no
@@JohnSmith-yf2ze The shootout at the end
Guess you missed Jackie Brown
Each frame of this movies is awesome ...
Loved this vid👌👌 more hidden gems from Tarantino movies plz
I was never clear about whether Mr. Pink got captured or shot by the cops. I turned the volume way up and it sounds like he gets shot.
softbatch! There was gunshots but that doesn’t mean he got shot. He could’ve 1 got shot and killed 2 got shot at and arrested 3 got shot at and got away
@@antoniolt611 In other words... either he's alive or he's dead or the cops got him or they don't.
softbatch! Yes and there’s no way to know for sure. I prefer to believe he got away and then ironically became a waiter at jack rabbit slims in pulp fiction bc mr pink didn’t believe in tipping. That’s why they’re both played by Steve buscemi, just a theory.
@@antoniolt611 But if he got away he would have had the loot. Why would he need to take a job as a Buddy Hollie waiter and risk being identified? He's got a satchel filled with polished stones from Israel.
softbatch! Maybe he dropped it in the midst of the shootout or something ? Anything could’ve happened. But I don’t think Tarantino would drop such heavy irony like that with using buscemi for those two roles. I’m not saying it confirms my theory but he at least did it to give people theory ammo.
Dialogue, music choice, and violence. QT's playing field imo. He has those down cold.
Except in Reservoir Dogs none of the dialogue is extraneous like the end of Kill, Vol. 2 and the beginning scene and the bar scene in Inglorious Basterds
Aa always...Hyped to hear the ending as jules always makes me feel better about my day and myself... Thanks man
the title (i think) comes from the fact that packs of dogs would roam around the reservoirs of L.A., and would turn on each other and rip themselves apart at the slightest provacation, which is what i think the title is getting at. That, and the guy in the store that QT worked at.
Who remembers this movie's video game on ps2 ??
It was bad lol. Controls like a.....
It was... good.
I've got it lol. Fuckin horrible game but "interesting" idea
Mr Orange(Buscemi) plays the waiter in the pulp fiction scene as well, at jack rabbit slims. Be cool to see a film with both pulp fiction and dogs characters and how they interact.
We could see Buscemi refuse to tip Buscemi
😆🐸
I think u meant mr pink :)
@@alwaysaishy oh shit, you're right. My bad🤦♂️. I messed that one up.....thanks😉
This was such a great movie
Mane that Nike jacket Eddie wore is clean af. I'm going to get my hands on one soon.
Mr purple that's some other guy on some other job.
This movie is as old as I am lol thats pretty dang cool!
Ride in the whirlwind, I saw that, it's like an unmemorable episode of bonanza 😅
Yeah, Ride was terrible, so was The Shooting, but Two-Lane Blacktop is pretty great.
An epic Film!
Tim Roth.. absolute Legend
When steve buscemi says in his famous not tipping rant that he use to work in the food industry I’m sure he was talking about his time working at jack rabbit slims.
I think you mean “his brother” when referring to Sean Penn being married to Madonna not “her brother” that’s just messed up!
Kinda a blessing in disguise using his own Cadillac now it has historic reference just adds to its value
I can't listen to 'stuck in the middle with you' without remembering that scene.
I bought one edition of this movie quite a few yrs back, and it came with a pc game of the movie...that was one tidbit I thought they might get in here
