Please react to a movie called How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies. It's a Thai movie, it centered around a young male who, after received news that his grandma got diagnosed with cancer, decided to take care of his grandma while he himself trying to secure his inheritance from his grandma. This movie is a seriously tear-jerker movie, full of family-themed lessons and, I can dare to say, this movie is a lot better than any family movies that you've ever seen or reacted before.
I think, more impressive than him having such a great first movie, and a great second, is that he maintained such a level through his entire career. Starting that young that successfully with such artistic choices should have been a recipe for him to vanish up his own ass, but instead he's at least as good today as he ever was.

Tim Roth is that guy who’s sublime in everything he’s in, but he’s never in anybody’s top ten actors because he doesn’t stand out because he’s so sublime. You forget he’s acting, he just IS whichever character he is. Incredible actor.
Agreed. He's great in everything! His best performance was in 'Rob Roy' with Liam Neeson and Jessica Lange (who also doesn't get enough credit for being one of the greatest living actresses). The only criticism I have of Tim Roth is that he really needs to work on his "American accent". It's abysmal.
Yeah. It's a little sad to see such talented actors/actresses just passing under the radar. Tim Roth is one of the best examples, alongside with e.g. Ethan Hawke.
What I love about this film is the great storytelling, without actually showing the heist itself. The limited sets and dialogue make this seem like an action packed Stage Play.
Agreed! That’s how I felt watching this. This would be an incredible play. The actors and the dialogue carry the weight and momentum of the film marvelously.
3:44 The foreshadowing was right in front of our faces the entire time- Who ratted out Mr. Pink about the tip? Mr. Orange. Why did Joe Cabot tell him to shut up? Because he *hates* a rat! This is one of the reasons he had that "gut feeling" about Orange.
To be fair, because I've heard this before and it's not your original thought, Mr. Orange was doing a common sort of funny mafioso caricature thing there. I don't know how to explain, but that parroting he was doing was very fitting of his fake character he was playing.
@@StudioMod Did he claim it was his original thought? Is that your thing? Just taking little shots at people who offer up some trivia? do you think you'll make friends someday acting like that?
The Genius of Tarantino by revealing the Rat in the first scene. As soon as Joe asks “Who didn’t Tip” Mr Orange immediately tells Joe it was Mr Pink. That’s why at the end when Joe realizes it’s Mr Orange because he had a hunch and didn’t act on it. “I should have my head examined”? Great movie. Great review. ❤
The Reservoir Dogs video game that came out on PS2 way back when actually shows us what happens to Blue and Brown, Blonde's Escape and the fate of Pink. Blue is chased into an alley and shot Brown rescues White and Orange, but is shot in the head and blinded by a cop before ploughing into a telephone pole and dying to the impact Blonde goes absolutely bonkers and basically rampages through the city, takes the cop hostage and basically escapes in the confusion and Pink's fate is the ending; depending on your actions in the game, Pink is either arrested by police OR manages to escape just as the police arrive in the ending Also, another fun fact; Pink is the only character to not actually kill anyone. He shoots at police, but the shots are non-fatal. He's the only "professional" thief on the team.
It's a little sad, that these guys, who seems totally okay to me and very obviously love cinema, need "recommendations" from strangers to know there's a film they should watch called TRUE ROMANCE.
@@OfficialMediaKnightsFor years I have been trying to make a list of my 10 favorite movies. Still only 4 have officially made that list, True Romance is one of those 4. Definitely look forward to seeing your reaction to it.
My parents said they hated this movie bc 1. it ruined one of their favorite 70’s songs (Mr. Blonde torturing the cop to “Stuck in the Middle with You” 2. I became fascinated with zippo lighters (Mr. White snapping a zippo) and would play with my dad’s lighter 😂 Thanks for reacting to this I forgot how much I loved this film!
When I was in acting school, there was a group of us who had auditions pretty much every other week. Whenever one of us got a gig, someone would always ask, "You use the commode story?" 😂
It is absolutely incredible that Tarantino went from working at a video rental store to writing and directing this. As a first outing this is just incredible. Guy was destined for greatness. This is a truly brilliant script that he managed to execute nearly perfectly, and deserves all of the admiration and regard that it gets.
This movie was inspired by: "City on Fire" (1987, Ringo Lam) "The Killing" (1956, Stanley Kubrick) and "The Thing" (1982, John Carpenter) The plot and even a few shots, sequences and whole scenes are *directly* lifted from "City on Fire" but COF is a traditional linear beginning-to-end story, that starts with the Tim Roth character infiltrating the gang, AND it *shows the actual heist.* Quentin noticed that once the heist happens, the gang is in a similar situation to the resarch team in The Thing in that they don't know which of them is the mole. The reason The Thing is the scariest monster is because the monster isn't even the biggest threat, it can just sit back and let the *paranoia* it induces in it's intended hosts/prey do all the work. Quentin thought it would be cool if he could tell this story in a way that *the audience* doesn't know who the mole is either until he reveals himself. The solution was in "The Killing" which is an early experiment in non-linear storytelling. "The Killing" is about a heist at a racetrack, and we see the whole heist, beginning to end several times, but each time from a different character's POV. (Similar but different from "Rashomon" where eyewitnesses give contradicting testimony of the same event, in "The Killing" each character has their own solo task like in the "Oceans" movies, but none of them know the whole plan or in some cases, even know any other member of the crew, so each piece makes no sense on their own, but as we see what each character's part was, we get more of the whole picture) Quentin switches it up a bit, there's a traditional linear story as the framework but it starts after the heist is already botched. We see the *buildup* to the heist from each character's POV, in the style of "The Killing" - he uses that to fill in backstory in flashbacks, enabling him to drop us right into the middle of the story where nobody knows who the rat is, and we get to sweat it out with them for most of the movie. And of course, we never see the actual heist. (It's the MacGuffin in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction - you don't *need* to see it, the movie still works if you don't, maybe better...)
I think we can all agree Pulp Fiction was the game-changer. Cinema changed after PF released and for the longest time was my favorite. But to me the rewatchability of Reservoir Dogs is what makes me come back to it over and over again making it my favorite. It's the Tarantino movie with the shortest run time but so much is packed into it, that you need to be engaged start to finish and it's not a chore to do so.
The fact that this movie is so great with the setting being in a diner, and a warehouse yet building as much tension and story (with flashbacks) as possible is just a testament to the incredible writing, acting and directing. Thanks to Harvey Keitel, who got a hold of the script, loved it, and decided to invest in the film and bring other prominent actors on. This is why it has that Indie film style, because it was supposed to be one.
I borrowed the VHS tape from a friend of mine in the mid nineties and I watched this movie two to three times a day for a whole week, not even kidding. It had such a huge impact on me. Great to experience this movie again, this time together with you! ✌️🙂
My story is so similar! I even took the time to right down how many F-bombs were dropped. Down to how many per character, even extras who weren't on camera. I was a little surprised Nice Guy Eddie dropped the most
Some people complain about how its stupid for Orange to tell Whte he's a cop at the end. Freddy could have kept his mouth shut at the end, not told Mr. White he was a cop and survived. But he couldn't do that. After everything Mr. White did for him, and how he stood up for him, he had to tell him the truth and let him decide what to do with that knowledge.
@robfarleyli I wasn't complaining. I loved him in Free Willy, that was my favorite movie when I was a kid. Imagine that being your introduction to Michael Madsen, then a few years later you see him as Mr Blonde 😂 it was quite the shock
The first clue Tarantino gives us about who the rat "cop" is, and people always miss this, is orange wanting to be the first one to tell Joe about pink not tipping in the diner..
@@SCharlesDennicon the only way you would suspect Mr.Orange is because his condition made him the least likely person but since you don't know how he got shot you wouldn't trust that idea significantly.
Yeah no wonder people don't wanna tip because it is suppose to be willing,so you do something bad to someone food or drink you getting some serious legal consequences
And ironically the backlash has been against services that traditionally relied on tipping. I’ve seen so many people nowadays ordering Doorgrub/ Dashhub from 15, 20 miles away, and not even tip $2. Hell, when I was young and broke in the 90’s, I STILL found $5 minimum for the pizza guy, so it’s sickening.
Yeah, no. What he said in the movie is correct: wait staff and etc. get paid SHITE - under 3 bucks an hour in a most places - and the tips are the way they survive. They need to be paid an actual wage (and not taxed on tips), but until WE push that through our state and federal govts., good service gets a good tip. It's the right thing to do.
@@TabaquiJackal906 good service gets a tip when people want to give they are not obligated to do that but if they are not getting enough paid to survive then that's problem with employer okay not the customers
@@TabaquiJackal906 The federal tipped wage minimum is $2.13, but only 16 states adhere to it (all red, lol). The restaurant is required to cover the difference to reach the federal overall minimum wage of $7.25 if they don't make enough tips. In some states the minimum hourly wage (state minimum) a restaurant must meets is well over $10/ hr. In some states they also add a small percentage to pay for healthcare for their employees. Just increase the meal price and pay their employees a salary and benefits. They do it that way in Europe and restaurants manage to stay in business.
Sgagnetti was also the name of the crazy cop in Natural born killers. Theres a few last names that constantly get talked about in different Tarantino movies
Whenever I see Chris Penn in anything i always think of him in GTA San Andreas with Sam Jackson. Loved those two in in that game, which also has a canny cast list akin to a Quentin Tarantino movie.
I vividly remember watching this as a kid. I was too young. I loved every second, it was like nothing I had seen before which says something because I did have heavily unsupervised viewing movie viewings (😂). It changed how I saw films and cemented a a love of Tarantino. And to think he had True Romance in his pocket to help fund this.
Poor Mr. Pink. The lone survivor of a botched robbery and undercover sting with dead civilians and cops. The local D.A. is going to bury him under the courthouse when he's through with him. Tarantino's influences was a Hong Kong action film City on Fire (1987), the robbery in Kansas City Confidential (1955) and Stanley Kubrick's nonlinear story structure in The Killing (1956) All 3 I highly recommend.
Unreal that Tarantino wrote all this whilst working in his video hire store....was kind of a joke script (took homage to the movie The taking of Pelham 123)....His friend found and read it and if i remember correctly he sent it in to Hollywood......One Day Harvey Ketiel walks into his video store and asks Tarantino if he would be able to make this on a small budget.......The rest is history as this success paid for his follow up Pulp Fiction
Talk about a directorial debut! Quentin came swinging right out the gate and hasn't stopped since then, literally a movie that I put into the category of 'required viewing'. Also, fun little bit of foreshadowing in the diner scene where Mr. Orange is the first one to call out Mr. Pink for not tipping, subtly letting you know that he's the rat.
Absolutely agreed, this is one helluva way to show people what you're all about!! This was a fantastic film and we totally agree with you - it absolutely is required viewing!!
Since you guys kept repeating the play aspect here is some trivia. Tarantino lit the warehouse as a stage. This gave the actors that freedom to behave as in a play for those scenes. Bonus trivia: Vic Vega is indeed Vince Vega’s brother. Tarantino has a “tarantinoverse” with some recurring names and props. Big kahuna burger and red apple cigarettes for example.
On a rewatch, the opening scene does a pretty solid job at subtle character introductions and foreshadowing. Blonde being trigger-happy, Pink being the "Everyone for themselves" person and not tipping waitresses, White still having a human side to care about them and Orange quickly rats on Pink when asked who didn't tip. Also, I kinda love how they're about to commit a robbery and yet 90% of the group worry about the waitresses' salaries.
That's so true, the intro actually does a fantastic job at establishing the tone, style but also the relationship between these guys. It may seem very casual on the surface, but there are so many details hidden that make it so much better!
Buscemi doesn’t tip so in Pulp Fiction he plays the Buddy Holly waiter at Jack Rabbit Slims. He looks miserable and knowing his role in Dogs makes his expression even more hilarious. Check it out!
This was a total game changer. I was lucky enough to have my brother's friend run my old school cinema (yes we were lucky to have our own cinema!) and we saw it before it came out in major theatres. We were so shocked and impressed. I think almost all film makers started to change after this and IMO most of the best movies are from the 90s.
My favorite Tarantino movie by far. And Tarantino has made tons of great movies. I love the writing and the cinematography. It's also a textbook example of how to do a non-linear story in a way that doesn't confuse the audience. It's not overly complex, and Tarantino trusts the audience to figure out what happened at which time. It's a tight, tight movie that knew exactly what kind of story it wanted to tell.
Quentin does such amazing work. I love how this movie was shot with such minimalist locations. The pace and the dialog is so good and keeps you hooked through the whole movie. Thank you guys so much for the amazing reaction. can't wait for the next keep on rocking 🤘
I still stand by that the Bus Station story when he is explaining the feeling of being face to face with being "caught" with the drugs is one of the most underrated pieces of film and dialogue ever put to Cinema, I always get Chills when I hear Tim Roth explain the tension on the bathroom, Truley a masterpiece
I watched an interview with Quentin Tarantino where he said he likes keeping some things unknown in his movies (such as the rope burn mark on Brad Pitts neck in Inglorious Basterds and what was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction) because it makes it YOUR movie, cos it gets you talking about it, coming up with theories etc, makes me enjoy these films so much more!!! Another great reaction as per ❤. Ohhh if you get a chance pleaseeeeeee consider a British film called Dead Man's Shoes. One of the most violent but powerful films I've ever seen. Love from the UK 😎 xx
Nice. My second favourite Tarantino flick after True Romance. Great tight storytelling. When this came out in late '92, my best friend, who had seen it the day before, said i had to drop everything and go see it with him, because he said I was in it. Turns out he was referring to Buscemi, who I shared a resemblance to at the time, and I happened to sometimes rant about not tipping... lol
4:16 - The voice you hear on the radio is actually comedian Steven Wright. You DEFINITELY need to check out his material. One of the greatest if all time.
The names given to the dogs by Joe, is Tarantino's homage to the 1974 thriller 'The Taking Of Pelham 123', in which the baddies are called Mr. Blue, Mr. Grey, Mr. Brown and Mr. Green.
Wow this commentary is some of the best I’ve seen on TH-cam. Most people just sit and watch and sometimes bring up some stupid anecdote. This is like you’re actually watching the movie.
Every time I saw Harvey Kietel, I thought of Taxi Driver ("Suck on this. Ooh Oooohhh!") until I saw Bad Leutenenant. Most intense and disturbing acting I've ever seen. Harvey's style is absolutely goated.
Also check out True Romance. That was the first one he wrote. The director Tony Scott changed the order of events from the script but the writing is the same.
I strongly second True Romance. It’s a perfect blend of Tarantino and Tony Scott. It “feels” more like Tarantino, but the Scott production elements make it unique.
someone said 12 ANGRY MEN - amazing dialogue in that movie but i wanna say at some point, watch The Hateful Eight by Tarantino. Its a "whodunit"...Also confined to one space. good way to track his progression from this film to that one
Got to come back for a second comment LOL I've heard it said that actors that work with Quinton, and have a good working experience become one of "Quentin's actors." Look at how actors from this movie appear again 30 years down the road in the hateful eight and in a whole bunch of his films in between !
Great reaction...please do From Dusk til Dawn & True Romance ... These are also Tarantino Films (earlier movies he had major influences on) I believe you'll love them both ❤
18:55 yes, like Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction. Mr. Blonde and Vincent are brothers. There was an idea for a movie featuring them called “Double V Vega” and the film would tell the story and relationship between Vic and Vincent Vega. It would take place in Amsterdam and there, Vincent would run some club. At some point in his two-year stay, Vic would show up and visit him. The film never got past the premise stage and at the time where Tarantino was planning that, the actors Michael Madsen and John Travolta were aging and no longer having the same appearance that they had in their respective character's films. It would’ve been a prequel to Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction.
In 1998 or 99, I was in school at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, where Greg Nicotero gave a presentation and brought with him certain movie props, including the severed ear and the wound where it was removed.
A lot of people mention about how the top didn't tell on Mr. Orange. But I don't think that's the case. Remember, Orange was faced down, bleeding to death, while the cop was getting beating and tortured. He didn't see his face until he came to and killed Blonded.
You guys should check out True Romance if you haven't already seen it. It was Quentin Tarantinos first script he wrote that became a movie. Great movie and an all star cast. Love watching you guys review movies!
This was 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.
As a writer, I love how obvious it is that Tarantino genuinely cares about all of his characters. Good guys, bad guys, lead or secondary characters, it doesn’t matter. He goes to such great lengths to present them as fully fleshed out people.
If you listen carefully to the offscreen dialogue aafter the shootout, you hear cops shouting at Mr. Pink and then lots of shooting. My bet is Mr. Pink also died, just before the cops stormed in. Tarantino also subverted 'Stuck in the middle with you' by turning a sweet love song from the 70s into the soundtrack of a brutal torture scene. If you like a one set movie, I highly recommend Glengarry Glen Ross, which is fantastic.
No one could portray depravity with such creativity except Tarantino.This movie is said to be heavily influenced by City On Fire,a 1987 Hong Kong action film directed by Ringo Lam.
This is my second favorite Tarantino film . Only surpassed by Inglorious Bastards. I remember watching this for the first time and being completely obsessed and locked in to the movie from start to finish. The dialogue is TOP tier!
I was 13 when this came out, the vhs rental shop owner would always let me get 18 cert films when my age was single digits, but when i phoned to reserve this on the day of release it was the first time he made me put my mum on the phone to give permission lol.
In the background, at the end. You can hear Mr. Pink get it outside! Another great movie with a great cast that's underrated is "Baby Driver" newer movie, but definitely worth the watch.
One movie I never see reactions for, but is an amazing film is "Four Rooms". It is a Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez film. It has brilliant dialogue and an all-star cast. I highly suggest it.
I remember when this came out and a friend told me I NEED to see this new director... I loved all of it of course but when they did the ORANGE flashback scenes I knew for sure Quentin was going to be huge!
Kill Bill Vol 1 and Vol 2 is my favorite Tarantino film. however, I absolutely love the dialogue and character work in Reservoir Dogs. it's absolutely iconic. loved your reaction! 😃

Steve Buscemi to not be a tipper just for him to be a waiter in Pulp Fiction is incredible 😂
He wasn’t much of a waiter
"What about you Peggy Sue?" "You want that shake Matin & Lewis or Amos & Andy?".
i think he was supposed to be Lance, but he had other commitments.
"Burnt to a crisp or bloody as hell?"
Tarantino didn’t tip either
Tarantino's directorial debut made it clear he was here to stay. Absolute banger
I think, more impressive than him having such a great first movie, and a great second, is that he maintained such a level through his entire career.
Starting that young that successfully with such artistic choices should have been a recipe for him to vanish up his own ass, but instead he's at least as good today as he ever was.

Put True Romance on your list. Tarantino penned, directed by Tony Scott. Ensemble cast. Outrageously violent and hilarious fun.
When I was in acting school, there was a group of us who had auditions pretty much every other week. Whenever one of us got a gig, someone would always ask, "You use the commode story?" 😂

"The Killing" is about a heist at a racetrack, and we see the whole heist, beginning to end several times, but each time from a different character's POV. (Similar but different from "Rashomon" where eyewitnesses give contradicting testimony of the same event, in "The Killing" each character has their own solo task like in the "Oceans" movies, but none of them know the whole plan or in some cases, even know any other member of the crew, so each piece makes no sense on their own, but as we see what each character's part was, we get more of the whole picture) Quentin switches it up a bit, there's a traditional linear story as the framework but it starts after the heist is already botched. We see the *buildup* to the heist from each character's POV, in the style of "The Killing" - he uses that to fill in backstory in flashbacks, enabling him to drop us right into the middle of the story where nobody knows who the rat is, and we get to sweat it out with them for most of the movie.
And of course, we never see the actual heist. (It's the MacGuffin in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction - you don't *need* to see it, the movie still works if you don't, maybe better...)
I think we can all agree Pulp Fiction was the game-changer. Cinema changed after PF released and for the longest time was my favorite. But to me the rewatchability of Reservoir Dogs is what makes me come back to it over and over again making it my favorite. It's the Tarantino movie with the shortest run time but so much is packed into it, that you need to be engaged start to finish and it's not a chore to do so.
The run-time is exactly amount of time the characters spend in the warehouse, or so I've heard. Clever trick.
The fact that this movie is so great with the setting being in a diner, and a warehouse yet building as much tension and story (with flashbacks) as possible is just a testament to the incredible writing, acting and directing.
Thanks to Harvey Keitel, who got a hold of the script, loved it, and decided to invest in the film and bring other prominent actors on. This is why it has that Indie film style, because it was supposed to be one.
I borrowed the VHS tape from a friend of mine in the mid nineties and I watched this movie two to three times a day for a whole week, not even kidding. It had such a huge impact on me. Great to experience this movie again, this time together with you! ✌️🙂
Haha that is awesome!! This movie has such rewatchability, it's amazing! Thank you for your support, we're so glad you enjoyed!!
My story is so similar! I even took the time to right down how many F-bombs were dropped. Down to how many per character, even extras who weren't on camera. I was a little surprised Nice Guy Eddie dropped the most
Some people complain about how its stupid for Orange to tell Whte he's a cop at the end.
Freddy could have kept his mouth shut at the end, not told Mr. White he was a cop and survived. But he couldn't do that. After everything Mr. White did for him, and how he stood up for him, he had to tell him the truth and let him decide what to do with that knowledge.
It’s crazy how fast the characters are established and characterized in only THE FIRST SCENE OF THE MOVIE, I always admired it quite a lot
This movie came out in '92. The next year, '93, Michael Madsen played the foster dad in Free Willy. Imagine that.
Whales buy you a beach house, though
@robfarleyli I wasn't complaining. I loved him in Free Willy, that was my favorite movie when I was a kid. Imagine that being your introduction to Michael Madsen, then a few years later you see him as Mr Blonde 😂 it was quite the shock
@robfarleyli And he earned that beach house
Madsen said in an interview that kids recognize him from Free Willy and run to him and their dads yell "Hey, don't go near that guy!"
Madsen deserved a better career. I remember thinking, in the early 2000's, that he was already a has-been.
The first clue Tarantino gives us about who the rat "cop" is, and people always miss this, is orange wanting to be the first one to tell Joe about pink not tipping in the diner..
Very quick to open his mouth. Everyone else was trained to let every man speak for himself, even Nice Guy didn't answer his dad when he could have.
Come on, there's no way you can notice that in your first watch!
@@SCharlesDennicon the only way you would suspect Mr.Orange is because his condition made him the least likely person but since you don't know how he got shot you wouldn't trust that idea significantly.
Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and The Hateful Eight are my Tarantino favorites.
We definitely gotta check out Jackie Brown and The Hateful Eight as well!!
@@OfficialMediaKnightsThe Hateful Eight ain't that good but Jackie Brown is actually good
The Hateful 8 has an extended edition on Netflix if you want to experience the entire movie!
K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70's....
Just keeps on...truuuuckin'...
Tipping has been turned from a voluntary gesture of gratitude for service well done into emotional blackmail.
Yeah no wonder people don't wanna tip because it is suppose to be willing,so you do something bad to someone food or drink you getting some serious legal consequences
And ironically the backlash has been against services that traditionally relied on tipping. I’ve seen so many people nowadays ordering Doorgrub/ Dashhub from 15, 20 miles away, and not even tip $2. Hell, when I was young and broke in the 90’s, I STILL found $5 minimum for the pizza guy, so it’s sickening.
Yeah, no. What he said in the movie is correct: wait staff and etc. get paid SHITE - under 3 bucks an hour in a most places - and the tips are the way they survive. They need to be paid an actual wage (and not taxed on tips), but until WE push that through our state and federal govts., good service gets a good tip. It's the right thing to do.
@@TabaquiJackal906 good service gets a tip when people want to give they are not obligated to do that but if they are not getting enough paid to survive then that's problem with employer okay not the customers
@@TabaquiJackal906 The federal tipped wage minimum is $2.13, but only 16 states adhere to it (all red, lol). The restaurant is required to cover the difference to reach the federal overall minimum wage of $7.25 if they don't make enough tips. In some states the minimum hourly wage (state minimum) a restaurant must meets is well over $10/ hr. In some states they also add a small percentage to pay for healthcare for their employees. Just increase the meal price and pay their employees a salary and benefits. They do it that way in Europe and restaurants manage to stay in business.
Sgagnetti was also the name of the crazy cop in Natural born killers. Theres a few last names that constantly get talked about in different Tarantino movies
Whenever I see Chris Penn in anything i always think of him in GTA San Andreas with Sam Jackson. Loved those two in in that game, which also has a canny cast list akin to a Quentin Tarantino movie.
Another great movie that kinda based on narrative and a play is GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS.....Al Pacino/Jack Lemmon/Alec Baldwin/Ed Harris/Kevin Spacey
Crazy good movie. Like 12 angry men, a good reaction movie.
Great film!
One of the greatest casts ever assembled. Don't forget Alan Arkin and Jonathan Pryce.
I vividly remember watching this as a kid. I was too young. I loved every second, it was like nothing I had seen before which says something because I did have heavily unsupervised viewing movie viewings (😂). It changed how I saw films and cemented a a love of Tarantino. And to think he had True Romance in his pocket to help fund this.
Poor Mr. Pink. The lone survivor of a botched robbery and undercover sting with dead civilians and cops. The local D.A. is going to bury him under the courthouse when he's through with him. Tarantino's influences was a Hong Kong action film City on Fire (1987), the robbery in Kansas City Confidential (1955) and Stanley Kubrick's nonlinear story structure in The Killing (1956) All 3 I highly recommend.
Poor Mr. Pink? He's a low-life scumbag just like the rest of them. I feel bad for Orange and the cop, Marvin Nash.
Pink was killed outside.
18:54 Yes, they are related brothers in the Tarantino-verse
This is by far my favourite Quentin movie.This flic alone sold his work to me.Great réaction guys.😲🤙
Unreal that Tarantino wrote all this whilst working in his video hire store....was kind of a joke script (took homage to the movie The taking of Pelham 123)....His friend found and read it and if i remember correctly he sent it in to Hollywood......One Day Harvey Ketiel walks into his video store and asks Tarantino if he would be able to make this on a small budget.......The rest is history as this success paid for his follow up Pulp Fiction
The opening walking scene is epic
Talk about a directorial debut! Quentin came swinging right out the gate and hasn't stopped since then, literally a movie that I put into the category of 'required viewing'. Also, fun little bit of foreshadowing in the diner scene where Mr. Orange is the first one to call out Mr. Pink for not tipping, subtly letting you know that he's the rat.
Absolutely agreed, this is one helluva way to show people what you're all about!! This was a fantastic film and we totally agree with you - it absolutely is required viewing!!
Since you guys kept repeating the play aspect here is some trivia. Tarantino lit the warehouse as a stage. This gave the actors that freedom to behave as in a play for those scenes. Bonus trivia: Vic Vega is indeed Vince Vega’s brother. Tarantino has a “tarantinoverse” with some recurring names and props. Big kahuna burger and red apple cigarettes for example.
On a rewatch, the opening scene does a pretty solid job at subtle character introductions and foreshadowing. Blonde being trigger-happy, Pink being the "Everyone for themselves" person and not tipping waitresses, White still having a human side to care about them and Orange quickly rats on Pink when asked who didn't tip.
Also, I kinda love how they're about to commit a robbery and yet 90% of the group worry about the waitresses' salaries.
That's so true, the intro actually does a fantastic job at establishing the tone, style but also the relationship between these guys. It may seem very casual on the surface, but there are so many details hidden that make it so much better!
What a directorial debut !!
Then 2 years later he makes Pulp Fiction.
Insane talent. ❤
And now you don't have a choice, you have to watch Heat next.
Omg Heat has been on our list and we really gotta get to that very soon!!
Buscemi doesn’t tip so in Pulp Fiction he plays the Buddy Holly waiter at Jack Rabbit Slims. He looks miserable and knowing his role in Dogs makes his expression even more hilarious. Check it out!
This was a total game changer. I was lucky enough to have my brother's friend run my old school cinema (yes we were lucky to have our own cinema!) and we saw it before it came out in major theatres. We were so shocked and impressed. I think almost all film makers started to change after this and IMO most of the best movies are from the 90s.
My favorite Tarantino movie by far. And Tarantino has made tons of great movies. I love the writing and the cinematography. It's also a textbook example of how to do a non-linear story in a way that doesn't confuse the audience. It's not overly complex, and Tarantino trusts the audience to figure out what happened at which time. It's a tight, tight movie that knew exactly what kind of story it wanted to tell.
Quentin does such amazing work. I love how this movie was shot with such minimalist locations. The pace and the dialog is so good and keeps you hooked through the whole movie. Thank you guys so much for the amazing reaction. can't wait for the next keep on rocking 🤘
Amazing video guys, Reservoir Dogs is such a ride.
Please please please do Goodfellas next, if you can.
One of my favorite movies. Great actors, great story and the way it’s shot. I’m happy you guys went over this movie
46:58 yeah, Mr Pink is arrested outside ..you can hear him yelling at the cops amongst all the sirens.
Killed
You can hear the sounds of a shootout in the distance.
I still stand by that the Bus Station story when he is explaining the feeling of being face to face with being "caught" with the drugs is one of the most underrated pieces of film and dialogue ever put to Cinema, I always get Chills when I hear Tim Roth explain the tension on the bathroom, Truley a masterpiece
Love the Feng shui of your room. Allowing the whole world to flow that energy through. Great movie, guys. Thank you.
I watched an interview with Quentin Tarantino where he said he likes keeping some things unknown in his movies (such as the rope burn mark on Brad Pitts neck in Inglorious Basterds and what was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction) because it makes it YOUR movie, cos it gets you talking about it, coming up with theories etc, makes me enjoy these films so much more!!! Another great reaction as per ❤. Ohhh if you get a chance pleaseeeeeee consider a British film called Dead Man's Shoes. One of the most violent but powerful films I've ever seen. Love from the UK 😎 xx
Nice. My second favourite Tarantino flick after True Romance. Great tight storytelling. When this came out in late '92, my best friend, who had seen it the day before, said i had to drop everything and go see it with him, because he said I was in it. Turns out he was referring to Buscemi, who I shared a resemblance to at the time, and I happened to sometimes rant about not tipping... lol
4:16 - The voice you hear on the radio is actually comedian Steven Wright. You DEFINITELY need to check out his material. One of the greatest if all time.
always love that some of the roles are portrayed in the start, like mr orange being a snitch immediatly about the tips, mr pink holding stuff back
The names given to the dogs by Joe, is Tarantino's homage to the 1974 thriller 'The Taking Of Pelham 123', in which the baddies are called Mr. Blue, Mr. Grey, Mr. Brown and Mr. Green.
That's another movie these guys should watch if they haven't already? The remake was great too.
Wow this commentary is some of the best I’ve seen on TH-cam. Most people just sit and watch and sometimes bring up some stupid anecdote. This is like you’re actually watching the movie.
This is and always will be a classic movie! 1 place, good character buildup, and so stressful 😂😂
Every time I saw Harvey Kietel, I thought of Taxi Driver ("Suck on this. Ooh Oooohhh!") until I saw Bad Leutenenant.
Most intense and disturbing acting I've ever seen. Harvey's style is absolutely goated.
Not to forgetting Piano. An important, different kind of role for him.
Tim Roth is also the main character in "Four Rooms" , my favourite new year movie.
Also check out True Romance. That was the first one he wrote. The director Tony Scott changed the order of events from the script but the writing is the same.
Adding it to our list! Thank you for taking the time to suggest something.
@@OfficialMediaKnights I sent you guys an email RE writing. (hope you got it). Enjoying the reaction as always.
I strongly second True Romance. It’s a perfect blend of Tarantino and Tony Scott. It “feels” more like Tarantino, but the Scott production elements make it unique.
The hidden gem of Tarantino, the cast is supreme as well
Loving the films, The Usual Suspects soon please. One of my favourites.
Did you miss “Scagnetti” from Natural Born Killers? Quentin wrote that.
We haven't seen Natural Born Killers yet actually!! It's definitely on our list though!!
someone said 12 ANGRY MEN - amazing dialogue in that movie
but i wanna say at some point, watch The Hateful Eight by Tarantino. Its a "whodunit"...Also confined to one space. good way to track his progression from this film to that one
I was striking out finding something to listen to at work.
This is perfect.
This one is fantastic! ‘True Romance’ is also one of my favorites
Got to come back for a second comment LOL
I've heard it said that actors that work with Quinton, and have a good working experience become one of "Quentin's actors." Look at how actors from this movie appear again 30 years down the road in the hateful eight and in a whole bunch of his films in between !
Great reaction...please do From Dusk til Dawn & True Romance ... These are also Tarantino Films (earlier movies he had major influences on)
I believe you'll love them both ❤
The intro reminds me of Running Scared with Paul Walker... another good one...
Damned underrated film that.
@@MegaSting1981 For sure. No one ever talks about that one, but it's a pretty taught thriller.
You guys should definitely watch True Romance!! Tarantino didn’t direct TR but he wrote the script, you can tell instantly it’s QT
18:55 yes, like Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction. Mr. Blonde and Vincent are brothers.
There was an idea for a movie featuring them called “Double V Vega” and the film would tell the story and relationship between Vic and Vincent Vega.
It would take place in Amsterdam and there, Vincent would run some club. At some point in his two-year stay, Vic would show up and visit him.
The film never got past the premise stage and at the time where Tarantino was planning that, the actors Michael Madsen and John Travolta were aging and no longer having the same appearance that they had in their respective character's films. It would’ve been a prequel to Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction.
The song “Stuck in the Middle With You”, whenever it plays, makes me think of a certain scene.
In 1998 or 99, I was in school at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, where Greg Nicotero gave a presentation and brought with him certain movie props, including the severed ear and the wound where it was removed.
A lot of people mention about how the top didn't tell on Mr. Orange. But I don't think that's the case. Remember, Orange was faced down, bleeding to death, while the cop was getting beating and tortured. He didn't see his face until he came to and killed Blonded.
You guys should check out True Romance if you haven't already seen it. It was Quentin Tarantinos first script he wrote that became a movie. Great movie and an all star cast. Love watching you guys review movies!
This was 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.
As a writer, I love how obvious it is that Tarantino genuinely cares about all of his characters. Good guys, bad guys, lead or secondary characters, it doesn’t matter. He goes to such great lengths to present them as fully fleshed out people.
"The Hateful Eight" next plz! Tarantino's peak dialog!
I'm so stoked your finally doing this film
Talking about Pam Grier in the car. 😁
Then Pam Grier plays Jackie Brown, another great movie by QT.
the film killing zoe is widely thought to somewhat show the heist here as its written by avary and produced by tarantino.
If you listen carefully to the offscreen dialogue aafter the shootout, you hear cops shouting at Mr. Pink and then lots of shooting. My bet is Mr. Pink also died, just before the cops stormed in.
Tarantino also subverted 'Stuck in the middle with you' by turning a sweet love song from the 70s into the soundtrack of a brutal torture scene.
If you like a one set movie, I highly recommend Glengarry Glen Ross, which is fantastic.
No one could portray depravity with such creativity except Tarantino.This movie is said to be heavily influenced by City On Fire,a 1987 Hong Kong action film directed by Ringo Lam.
This is my second favorite Tarantino film . Only surpassed by Inglorious Bastards. I remember watching this for the first time and being completely obsessed and locked in to the movie from start to finish. The dialogue is TOP tier!
I was 13 when this came out, the vhs rental shop owner would always let me get 18 cert films when my age was single digits, but when i phoned to reserve this on the day of release it was the first time he made me put my mum on the phone to give permission lol.
Yeah; Had the same experience video store across the street from my apartment renting all the R-rated horror movies from the 80s lol
big shout out to Mr. Harvey Keitel, who believed in QT and pulled some strings to make this movie happen 👏
The first time Tarantino had ever seen snow in real life was when he went to Sundance with this movie.
yess finally another tarantino movie!
In the background, at the end. You can hear Mr. Pink get it outside!
Another great movie with a great cast that's underrated is "Baby Driver" newer movie, but definitely worth the watch.
I can never not see Michael Madsen with a razorblade everytime I hear "Stuck In The Middle With You" 😂🤣😂
It's the dancing for me 😂
One movie I never see reactions for, but is an amazing film is "Four Rooms". It is a Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez film. It has brilliant dialogue and an all-star cast. I highly suggest it.
Great film. Four rooms done by different directors. Great concept. I second this suggestion :)
Mr White refers to Alabama (‘a great little thief’) putting this in the same universe as True Romance. Which you must watch
I still have a few posters from this movie. I love it. cant wait to see how you two feel about it.
Mr. Orange sitting in that diner booth just like the same actor did in Pulp Fiction.
And now you are fully prepared to listen to the song 'Scooby Snacks' by the band Fun Lovin' Criminals.
I remember when this came out and a friend told me I NEED to see this new director... I loved all of it of course but when they did the ORANGE flashback scenes I knew for sure Quentin was going to be huge!
Kill Bill Vol 1 and Vol 2 is my favorite Tarantino film. however, I absolutely love the dialogue and character work in Reservoir Dogs. it's absolutely iconic. loved your reaction! 😃
my dad worked with the steelers wheel drummer, they're from paisley, scotland.
