Terry Gilliam received a special thanks in the closing credits because Tarantino attended a workshop where up-and-coming filmmakers could seek advice and mentoring from established screenwriters and directors. Terry Gilliam was the only one there who didn't dismiss Tarantino as an untrained hack and took him under his wing. Gilliam respected and admired Tarantino's love of cinema and could tell he was going to be a great director, so he imparted as much wisdom and advice as he could. Tarantino showed his gratitude with a special thanks.
Yes, you are right. And the story between them was based on Tarantino's insecurities as a creator on how to deal with the multiple disciplines he had to master in order to make a film. Gilliam suggested to him something like this: Just surrender yourself with talented people in all departments and make sure they understand your vision, and you will be fine. This encouraged Tarantino into making a movie by himself.
Mr white contradicts himself like four separate times. He gives advice to orange regarding interrogation tactics and he condones torture then he goes on to berate blonde over and over again about using the very same methods. Then he defends single women and waitresses in particular but remains hypocritical when they rob the lady's car then shoot her. Then he says don't shoot up the place but does so instantly in the alley way. He has double standards for everyone else.
That's Karma. I don't know whether this is still the case, but back in the 1990s, if you received a tip from guests at 'Eurodisney, you were not allowed to keep it, you had to put it in the till, and the company (Eurodisney) would keep it. If you were found to have pocketed a tip you would be fired without notice. There were plain clothes 'detectives' posing as guests everywhere, as well as CCTV. So that is why you might get staff refusing tips: it would end up enriching Eurodisney anyway, and we were not being paid for overtime, so were really feeling that they were getting rich on our backs!
Everyone always complains about Mr. White being stupid at the end of the film but most fans don't know that Mr. White was a seasoned Vietnam vet & watched alot of fellow soldiers die & bleed to death infront of him so seeing Mr. Orange being so much younger than him & bleeding to death , it pretty much gave Mr. White flashbacks of seeing his old comrades like that during the war hence his extreme empathy for Mr. Orange which unfortunately caused him to unintentionally over cloud his own judgement in the end!!!! This film has very detailed back stories that Quentin wrote for each character but unfortunately he didn't have a big enough budget to actually show everything & that's also why we never see the actual heist go down either but thank Harvey Keitel (Mr. White) for believing in Quintin enough to finance this entire film which basically gave Quentin Tarantino his chance in the business & everything we got later from him👍 If u want to learn more about each characters backstory, just buy the 10th anniversary DVD & go to the Special features & u can read Mr. Pink , Mr. Brown , Mr. White & Mr. Blondes complete back stories 👍 Mr. Pink is a seasoned criminal/stick up artist that grew up in the ghetto in a all black neighborhood & is extremely street smart!!!! Mr. Brown is a rapest & a sex addict hence his conversation at the beginning of the film & why he got shot in the forehead because it was basically like his karma for having such a sick mind!!!! Mr. White is a seasoned Vietnam vet , a professional stick up artist & very good with weapons hence why he was basically made the lead man for the entire jewel heist job by Joe & why hes so accurate with those duel handguns !!! Mr. Blonde is another career criminal but also a undercover serial killer that grew up spoiled in a mid - upper class family with both of his parents as a only child & never went hungry a day in his entire life & just like most sociopaths , he was a bed wetter , a fire starter & he loved to torture small animals as a child 💯 You're welcome 👍
And then Mr Blue was probably another career criminal who had some empathy for others like Mr White as demonstrated in the opening scene which is the only time he has dialogue when defending the waitresses unto Mr Pink's claim he doesn't tip as well as acting a bit disgusted when Mr Brown is talking about Madonna's song and its reference to big dicks. He might have got punished once and seen the bad ways in his actions that he signed up to this mission because who knows, he may have been willing to secretly condemn himself on purpose, letting himself get killed by others easily because he was secretly in despair! That's my theory at least. Not to mention, since we don't see him much, the actor Eddie Bunker playing Mr Blue in the film was a real life history criminal who then retired from crime to become an author and part-time actor which is why he's only got a small role in this film presumably and died soon after.
@@kselz7449 bit late but iirc the Vegas were supposed to originally be one character but scheduling issues meant they ended up with Travolta and the brother lore was added in to explain things. It was supposed to be one guy across both movies
Another connection people miss is Fruit Brute cereal. Mr. Orange has it on his table in the apartment, and Lance is eating a bowl of it when Vincent calls him as Mia is overdosing.
@@RonnieLove333 General Mills put out the Monster cereals usually around Halloween with Count Chocula, Frankenberry, Boo Berry, Fruit Brute, as well as Yummy Mummy.
Then the Undercover Cop unlawfully shoots the civilian driver after getting gutshot as a carjacker. She shoots him with a Colt Detective Special likely in .38 Special.
He stated that he had intention to release a movie about the two of them, but it was just an idea that got lost in time and would not happen because the actors got too old
pulp fiction is a prequel of reservoir dogs mr pink said in reservoir dogs that he used to work as a waiter , then in pulp fiction it is shown that he is a waiter
Mr. Pink lives. You can hear him getting into a shootout after leaving, but even more faintly you can hear him surrendering and getting arrested shortly after that. My guess is he ran out of bullets.
I was in high school working at a mom & pop video store when RD came out and I used to recommend it to my sleepy suburban customers, who were mostly there for what was behind the saloon doors. Most of them came back horrified, which told me who the real hypocrite squares were. Thanks Q!
You brought up Marcellus “Spivey” but better connection you missed is Gary Oldman’s character in True Romance, Drexl Spivey. TR was his first film, which he sold in order to get money to make RD. Another commenter also pointed out Alabama. Main character in TR and in the OG script, Clarence dies and Alabama stays in LA and ends up working with Mr White.
You are right. The coolest inter movie Connection It's definitely Mister White and Alabama from true romance. Also there is nothing to imply Buscemi does not escape with the diamonds. I always thought he did. Most of the things mentioned in this video are weak at best.
Hence he wasn't 100% on him. Which was why after the heist once knowing who everyone was except for him and he may have been baiting him so as to seek revenge against the police, he knew it had to be no other than him while the rest of the criminals were unsure or uninterested only in the case of Mr Blonde who only liked to kill people.
5 men carry out the diamond robbery mr brown is the getaway driver ,5 men in a bullpen excludes mr blonde as he's proven trustworthy over going to prison and not ratting out joe
Mr. Pink doesn’t escape. If you turn up the volume real high in the very last seconds before the credits, you can hear the police outside telling him to put the hands on the dash of the car , Mr. Pink tells them , ‘don’t shoot I’ve been shot ‘ , you then hear two shots , before the cops storm into the warehouse. They must have shot him because if Mr Pink would have shot them , they wouldn’t have come into the warehouse.
I have a whole fan theory and back story of how the vega brothers can also be related to Bill from Kill Bill and that uma thurman (beatrix) is actually the same character from pulp fiction after leaving marcelus
I just noticed mr pink was missing the whole last part of the movie , then after everyone dies he comes out from hiding under the ramp, snatches the diamonds a leaves. Then if you listen close you can hear the police and gunshots.
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Marcellus Spivey in Reservoir dogs is interesting as the surname was then used in True Romance as Drexel Spivey and the first name obviously went into Pulp Fiction as Marcellus Wallace, Quentin with the little Easter eggs as seen throughout his movie's, you gotta love em ❤
Damn, I'm glad I just recently got the first 2 disc special edition of this Now I'll have to watch it again Hopefully when you cover Dusk Til Dawn you will mention the short prequel that comes w the original 2 dvd Full Tilt Boogie Thanks!!!
Agree. As someone who's tried his hand at writing, it can be a pain trying to come up with character names, product names etc. Think of one you really like? Sure, you'll use it again in the next thing you write - maybe with a slight modification. To think half of the characters in RD have relatives in other Tarantino films intentionally sounds like people are overthinking things a bit too much.
He created a world full of stories. As a writer he just sat around with all of them talking, just like his characters do. Everyone knows everyone else and tells their tales.
Tarantino has stated its all the same universe. Jack Rabbit Slims. Red Apple cigarettes. Big Khuna Burger. Though in this case the Mr Blonde and Marvin, were trying to get in character and Marvin really was in the trunk of the car. Madison drove down a back lane full of pot holes and went to a taco bell drive thru. There was no burger and fries.
Add to this the fact that Mr. White's former partner was referred to as "Bama", a female. Patricia Arquette's character in True Romance was Alabama, implying that Harvey's character was actually Cristian Slater's character from the other movie.
I've always thought that the background portions of the warehouse where you can see the caskets indicate the characters themselves. After Mr Blonde dies, one is knocked over. There is also one covered in the shipping paper for the majority of the film as if it's hiding beneath a "cover".
When Mr. Pink is telling Mr. White how he survived by unloading his magazine into the cops, he has to load it realizing all he did was escape afterwards.
I absolutely believe that Mr Pink escaped and became a Buddy Holly impersonator. It probably wasn’t what Tarantino intended at the time, but the opportunity to cast Buscemi as a waiter as a form of karma must have been too funny to pass up on. Maybe Pink was scared and never could sell the diamonds. That’s the other thing - I don’t believe that the diamonds was what was in the briefcase in _Pulp Fiction._ Let alone not being remotely magical enough for that McGuffin, if the diamonds were so, what Vincent Vega was retrieving would essentially be something his brother died for. There was no sense of grief, or emotional heaviness at all, when he opened the briefcase, stared, and said “oh yeah we happy”.
Another detail about those bottles I've just seen. There are three pink ones and one white one on the left and three parallel to pink, orange ones on the right. This gives extra insight into the confidence of each member with Pink being a much more confident criminal than Mr White who at that moment actually cares more for Mr Orange than the heist, has officially befriended him and wants to convince everyone that he's not a rat or a snitch while Pink is suspicious of everyone on equal measure while remaining intelligent enough to not give anything of his personal life away to even White who he most interacts with and then trusts Blonde only for the sake of proffesionalism. This might also imply that Mr White isn't completely secure that killing others may be a good thing even if it's for the means of robbing which is the whole premise of his lifestyle and what he came to be which Pink doesn't doubt. Mr Orange likewise is working on the polar opposite side of them but amounts to the confidence Mr Pink has in being an undercover cop, which even though he got shot in the belly and is badly injured, he was still ready to rat them out disregarding his supposed connection or friendship to Mr White as demonstrated in the Mr Blonde scene later on once he shoots him after trying to murder the cop in the most brutal way then tells him to wait and be assured that by the time their criminal boss arrives, the police will be out there waiting for them. He only confesses to Larry once he's the only criminal alive remaining besides Pink who escaped and Larry is the only one to even fully care for him at that point that he had to admit to his supposed friend that he had been a cop and a rat all along.
During the discussion of who is True Blue, Chris Penn is the only one wearing "blue" at the table as his jacket is blue and purple. Not _True Blue,_ but related to True Blue.
Another fun fact not mentioned in this video, but the movie is actually loosely based on really old game, where characters, also named after colors, end up having an impostor among them!
Also, when Mr. White is speaking to Joe in the first half of the movie, he says "...Alabama, a good little thief...". This is likely a reference to Alabama from True Romance (which Tarantino wrote),
Joe saying it's a five man job isn't a mistake. Mr. Brown's job was just the driver. His role had nothing to do with the actual five man job Joe was talking about.
Mr Pink survives. The screenplay has a title card saying so - or at least that all but one of the men will be dead - but it was not used in the film itself
Two things, First, Mr, White also says he made a lot of money working with "Alabama", a female crook. She turned up earlier in the Tarantino written "True Romance". The second is speculation. Was there a sexual relationship between White and Orange? Because they definitely have a very strong bond, yet the movie doesn't provide a lot of evidence of them spending a lot of time together.
It's more of a Mentor/Apprentice relationship imo, or maybe even a father/son relationship. Larry is considerably older than Freddie and there's scenes where he treats him like a kid, like dragging him by the arm away from Brown after the crash, combing his hair as he's bleeding out and the constant reassurance that he's gonna be ok.
Mr Orange wore a wedding ring. Second there's a certain comradery when working in a intense environment with a small group of people. Ultimately working alone, one man show is simple, but there's a bond where life and limb are at risk. The Juice as it were. Adrenaline.
Whatever that is dangling from the host of this video’s wrist is highly annoying to me. It’s like those old phone cord type wristbands that people would keep a key on. It just bothers me and is due all of the unnecessary arm waving one must apparently do when on camera during a TH-cam video.
Everyone respected joe and feared him to a point, but not mr white as he saw him more like an equal, even mr blonde who did time for him and everything still repected him more
The coolest inter movie Connection It's definitely Mister White and Alabama from true romance. He mentions her by name BAMA. Also there is nothing to imply Buscemi does not escape with the diamonds. I always thought he did. Most of the things mentioned in this video are weak at best.
I believe it's 5 guys because Mr Blonde wasn't part of the robbery. He's a hit man, and is only there as a reward for doing his time. I think that's why he's Mr Blonde and not a color, like the others
12:54 This man is either absolutely delusional or has no rational concept of how the American coin system functions on the most rudimentary level because that was clearly more than $1.
If you turn the sound up at the very end as Mr White is about to shoot Mr Orange you can hear Mr Pink get surrounded by all the cops and they are yelling “did you kill a cop” Mr Pink ends up taking the rap for everything and he’s the one with the bag in his hand when they catch him. So the Mr Pinks new job and diamonds theory’s are incorrect. I’m surprised more people don’t know about what happens to Pink but I’m also surprised you guys didn’t check or look up more info on this film.
Idk. Lady who defends herself and her property against thieves, definitely counts as a female character, and I would count it as a strong one too. Not a major character, but still counts. And we shouldn't be counting genders anyway. Good characters matter, not what's in their pants....Also there's female cops in the extended scenes.

I like how Mr Pink “doesn’t tip, doesn’t believe in it”. Then in Pulp Fiction he ends up a Sh&ty waiter who Vincent doesn’t want to tip.
Buscemi said in an interview that he thinks the waiter is mr pink keeping a low profile
That's Karma.
I don't know whether this is still the case, but back in the 1990s, if you received a tip from guests at 'Eurodisney, you were not allowed to keep it, you had to put it in the till, and the company (Eurodisney) would keep it.

😂😂😂 fits especialy cause of how poetic justice and religion is the theme of PULP FICTION
That’s right. I forgot about that. Funny shit.
Then he also goes on to star in Boardwalk Empire, who prides himself in being an excellent tipper 😂
When Nice Guy Eddie is on the phone in his car, talking about the failed job and who the rat is, there's an orange balloon following his car.
Good eyes!
On the fifth or so viewing, I noticed it, though Tarantino has apparently denied it was a clue to the identity of the undercover cop.

Mr. Pink was arrested. He didn’t get gunned down. You can even hear him being arrested and one cop is asking while yelling if he shot a cop.
Also, the game confirms this as it's considered canon. The ending has Mr Pink arrested as he tries to drive off.
ive watched this movie so many times that ive lost count. it has such nostalgic value to and the rewatchability is off-the-charts!
Reservoir Dogs and True Romance are also connected, as Alabama is the partner that Mr White was talking about with Cabot in his office.

mine too, with TR a very close second
Tarantino needs to give us the Vega Bros. as a comic run or graphic novel.
Or just a novel or audiobook

@@blakeharris58 lmao. I did notice a certain words presence throughout. It is authentic
None of the crew knew each other, but Joe knew all of them. Mr. Orange is also the only one Joe Cabot didn't know personally.

Another detail about those bottles I've just seen. There are three pink ones and one white one on the left and three parallel to pink, orange ones on the right. This gives extra insight into the confidence of each member with Pink being a much more confident criminal than Mr White who at that moment actually cares more for Mr Orange than the heist, has officially befriended him and wants to convince everyone that he's not a rat or a snitch while Pink is suspicious of everyone on equal measure while remaining intelligent enough to not give anything of his personal life away to even White who he most interacts with and then trusts Blonde only for the sake of proffesionalism. This might also imply that Mr White isn't completely secure that killing others may be a good thing even if it's for the means of robbing which is the whole premise of his lifestyle and what he came to be which Pink doesn't doubt. Mr Orange likewise is working on the polar opposite side of them but amounts to the confidence Mr Pink has in being an undercover cop, which even though he got shot in the belly and is badly injured, he was still ready to rat them out disregarding his supposed connection or friendship to Mr White as demonstrated in the Mr Blonde scene later on once he shoots him after trying to murder the cop in the most brutal way then tells him to wait and be assured that by the time their criminal boss arrives, the police will be out there waiting for them. He only confesses to Larry once he's the only criminal alive remaining besides Pink who escaped and Larry is the only one to even fully care for him at that point that he had to admit to his supposed friend that he had been a cop and a rat all along.
They're talking about "like a virgin' not 'true blue' what movie were you watching????
Came here to say this. It's mentioned in passing, but nobody's trying to work out who True Blue is, or is about.
Both are topics, as is "Papa Don't Preach."
They talked about both.
RD had a female character. She can be seen in the deleted scenes.
And Mr Orange ended up actually being in the MCU (Tim Roth)...
And Tarantino isn’t a fan of the MCU.
Mr Pink worked at McDonalds before the diamond heist, that’s why he doesn’t tip
During the discussion of who is True Blue, Chris Penn is the only one wearing "blue" at the table as his jacket is blue and purple. Not _True Blue,_ but related to True Blue.
The track suit was Chris Penns own clothes.
The actors provided thier own wardrobe for the film.
What a lot of people don't notice is that all the characters are named after colours!
Uh…how could anyone miss that?
You’re joking, right?
A reference from the movie The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974).
@@lisaspikes4291 of course I'm joking
Another fun fact not mentioned in this video, but the movie is actually loosely based on really old game, where characters, also named after colors, end up having an impostor among them!
You missed the Alabama reference with Mr. White when talking to Joe and its relationship to 'True Romance'.
Also, when Mr. White is speaking to Joe in the first half of the movie, he says "...Alabama, a good little thief...". This is likely a reference to Alabama from True Romance (which Tarantino wrote),
That man is a genius. Watch one hundred times and find something new
BEST FILM. EVER
Is that why the door keeps swinging open in Hateful 8?
Mr pink survives if you play all the levels as a profesional rank
is the game canon
@@jabberwock6 to the game yeah, to the QTCU no
Mr. Pink knew Joe since he was a kid.
Mr. Orange is now a marvel character in She-Hulk
Joe saying it's a five man job isn't a mistake. Mr. Brown's job was just the driver. His role had nothing to do with the actual five man job Joe was talking about.
My guy look like Lac Miller 😂
Mr Pink survives. The screenplay has a title card saying so - or at least that all but one of the men will be dead - but it was not used in the film itself
there is a Reservoir Dogs Video game that fills in a lot of the gaps of the film. idk if it canon or not
Marcellus is supposed to be related to Drexel (Gary oldman in true romance)
This was great
I actually missed the bottles on the table, that was a good one.
Also, I noticed that there is a brown bottle next to the orange ones. Brown and Orange were the two that got shot during the heist!
Two things, First, Mr, White also says he made a lot of money working with "Alabama", a female crook. She turned up earlier in the Tarantino written "True Romance". The second is speculation. Was there a sexual relationship between White and Orange? Because they definitely have a very strong bond, yet the movie doesn't provide a lot of evidence of them spending a lot of time together.
It's more of a Mentor/Apprentice relationship imo, or maybe even a father/son relationship. Larry is considerably older than Freddie and there's scenes where he treats him like a kid, like dragging him by the arm away from Brown after the crash, combing his hair as he's bleeding out and the constant reassurance that he's gonna be ok.
Mr Orange wore a wedding ring. Second there's a certain comradery when working in a intense environment with a small group of people.
Ultimately working alone, one man show is simple, but there's a bond where life and limb are at risk.
The Juice as it were.
Adrenaline.
Of course Mr. Pink survived, he is Tony Soprano's cousin.
On the 5 or 6 men confusion = maybe the driver doesn't count because he's not actually going inside of the building?
Who killed nice guy eddie?
The warehouse scenes were filmed in an actual morgue, with bodies still in some of the rooms. It’s not a set
It was a coffin warehouse.
Are you daft ?
That if you pay then everyone else throws in for tip = was adopted by my friend group and stands to this very day.
I’m pretty sure that was a thing before Reservoir Dogs came out. Lots of people do this.
Whatever that is dangling from the host of this video’s wrist is highly annoying to me. It’s like those old phone cord type wristbands that people would keep a key on. It just bothers me and is due all of the unnecessary arm waving one must apparently do when on camera during a TH-cam video.
I didnt miss them but thanks for assuming.
Who names their children Vic and Vincent?
Theo parents Vernon and Veronica Vega
Drexl from True Romance was a Spivey
Favorite movie
Everyone respected joe and feared him to a point, but not mr white as he saw him more like an equal, even mr blonde who did time for him and everything still repected him more
The coolest inter movie Connection It's definitely Mister White and Alabama from true romance. He mentions her by name BAMA. Also there is nothing to imply Buscemi does not escape with the diamonds. I always thought he did. Most of the things mentioned in this video are weak at best.
They mention a girl Alabama in the meeting & there was a girl in True Romance named Alabama.
I believe it's 5 guys because Mr Blonde wasn't part of the robbery. He's a hit man, and is only there as a reward for doing his time.
I think that's why he's Mr Blonde and not a color, like the others
Like it, but isn't he Mr. Blonde because the name 'Mr. Yellow' sounds like a coward?
Pink, Brown, White, Orange, Blue, Blonde. Doesn't Blonde seem out of place?
What about Alabama?
"True Blue"?
They are discussing Like A Virgin.
Where does True Blue come into it?
Mr pink would surely have surrendered immediately to police. He didn't seem like the blaze of glory type.
12:54 This man is either absolutely delusional or has no rational concept of how the American coin system functions on the most rudimentary level because that was clearly more than $1.
Why didn't Shawn Penn fire first
No, these are things that YOU somehow missed until now.
If you turn the sound up at the very end as Mr White is about to shoot Mr Orange you can hear Mr Pink get surrounded by all the cops and they are yelling “did you kill a cop” Mr Pink ends up taking the rap for everything and he’s the one with the bag in his hand when they catch him. So the Mr Pinks new job and diamonds theory’s are incorrect. I’m surprised more people don’t know about what happens to Pink but I’m also surprised you guys didn’t check or look up more info on this film.
Mr White and Mr Pink inspired the names of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad.
Is that true? How cool is that?!😆
#1 was incredibly lame
Idk. Lady who defends herself and her property against thieves, definitely counts as a female character, and I would count it as a strong one too. Not a major character, but still counts. And we shouldn't be counting genders anyway. Good characters matter, not what's in their pants....Also there's female cops in the extended scenes.
Most of these are just recycled from your other video on Reservoir Dogs, there are so many reaches in this...you guys falling off
