I watched this film when it came out in theaters 31 years ago. My cousin who was like 18 snuck me in and I became obsessed. I was 11 but I absolutely loved the film and it was of course everyone's introduction to Quentin Tarantino. It is STILL one of my favorite films. I also got the biggest crush on Tim Roth as Mr. Orange. A crush that STILL lives on to this day as well. 😍 Wonderful reaction as always. I love all of your reactions.

[@jamesnorthup7717]

They aren't officially QT movies but he helped write both True Romance and Natural Born Killers very good stuff!

[@user-EricWatson55]

Tarantino also appeared in "Desperado" starring Antonio Banderas.

[@joejo6094]

As much as I loved this reaction. the relationship you have with your mum, being able to do this is just heart-warming. I'd love to be able to do this with mine. But, as I can't...your channel is the next best thing. Keep up the great videos

Another cryptic connection between this film and one of Tarantino's later films is that the straight razor that Michael Madsen used to cut off the cop's ear is the SAME razor that Uma Thurman used in 'Kill Bill Vol. 2' to free her hands when she was buried in the coffin. The coffin that MICHAEL MADSEN buried her in.

[@Momsbasement354]

Fun fact: Tim Roth, since he had to lay there so long and they had to keep putting fake blood on him, when they broke for lunch he was glued to the floor and couldn’t get up. I love that you’re on this journey now. Definitely watch True Romance and Natural Born Killers both of which Tarantino cowrote. And a little gem that not a lot of have seen, Four Rooms Starring Tim Roth. Four directors wrote and directed different parts.

[@sexylexy178]

I love 4 rooms

[@0okamino]

That’s okay. I’m sure Madsen would get him something from the drive-thru while he was getting his drink and fries.

[@Momsbasement354]

@@0okamino lol nice!

[@lodey]

Victor "Vic" Vega, also known as "Toothpick Vic" or "Mr. Blonde", is Vincent Vega's brother. He is not in Pulp Fiction, but in Reservoir Dogs, another Tarantino movie. Just as Richard Gecko is the madman of the Gecko brothers, Vic is the the madman of the Vega brothers.

[@user-EricWatson55]

The diner is Johnny's on Wilshire and Fairfax. I used to work at May Company across the street. You can see it out the window. I used to eat lunch in that very booth they're sitting in.

[@wingmanjohnny50]

Mr. Pinks ending was an homage to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It’s up to the viewer to decide his fate. Although, we all know what likely happened to the three characters.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

20:53 the under appreciated humor of Reservoir Dogs.

[@johnmoreland6089]

Excellent guys! Can’t wait for “Jackie Brown,” which I think is QT’s best film with the strongest screenplay, followed by “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

[@thatswhatcheesehead]

Ditto!!!

[@sca88]

My late mom would have never forgiven me if I'd shown her this film. I took her to see 28 Days Later at the theater and she was pretty horrified and pissed at me.

[@markpekrul4393]

If I recall right, the sounds outside after Pink leaves are 1) shots then 2) shouts, so I think Pink probably lived. I saw this when it came out - had never heard of Tarantino, had no idea about the film, but DC's City Paper gave it a good review so I took a chance at a tiny theater. Wow - blown away - so simple yet complex. Saw it a few times. And now The George Baker Selection's "Little Green Back" is on my playlist.

[@dabe1971]

Next time you watch 'Shaun of the Dead' you'll now recognise their homage to the "...don't point that gun at my Dad !" scene....

[@jhilal2385]

I hope that you also watch the movies where he collaborated with his friend, filmmaker Robert Rodriguez: "Desperado" (1995) Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Steve Buscemi, Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo "Four Rooms" (1995) Tim Roth, Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Bruce Willis "From Dusk Till Dawn" (1996) George Clooney, Harvey Keitel, Salma Hayek, Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo as well as his best film, which is often overlooked: "Jackie Brown" (1997) based on the book "Rum Punch" by Elmore Leonard

[@user-EricWatson55]

Everytime I hear "Stuck In The Middle With You" I remember the torture scene in this movie.

[@GatBlackistan]

Just me giving a little nod to the algorithm and two of my favorite KZbin personalities.

[@shainewhite2781]

One of the first Tarantino flicks I've ever seen! A group of violent thieves begin to suspect one of their friends is a traitor following the aftermath of a failed jewelry heist. Tarantino Said im interviews that this movie was inspired by John Carpenter's THE THING, as one of these people is not who they claim to be, as well as The Hat8Ful Eight.

[@Flix2Us]

By the Force, that makes so much sense!! Haven't seen Hateful Eight, so now I'm real excited for when we get to it.

[@Damiana_Dimock]

Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs are my No.1 & 2 Quentin Tarantino films. So are you only watching the core 10 (or 9 for now,) or will y’all watch the anthology, Four Rooms, (also starring Tim Roth) and ones Tarantino wrote. This film, like Clerks for Kevin Smith, hit festivals and opened doors to the connections they needed for green lights on their next projects. I was surprised she knew who Chris Penn was, because this film is where I knew him from. I do love how the diner scene sorta foreshadows that Pink is a problem and Orange is a rat/snitch (tattletale.) Checkout The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974,) which stars Walter Matthau; the film Tarantino named his company after, Jean Luc Godard’s Bande À Part (1964;) & Stanley Kubrick’s The Killing (1956.)

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

Eddie Bunker, who played the late and lamented Mr. Blue, was formerly an actual criminal. He said that dressing all alike would not be something he'd ever do, because 6 guys all dressed the same would attract attention, and he would have never worked a job with total strangers.

[@taniaPBear]

I've only been subscribed here for a few months, but I love watching your reactions. So happy to see you do Tarantino movies, if you do them in order, it will be awesome.

[@ThatBlackPiano]

This movie happens the same day as the movie, “Pulp Fiction” and Michael Madsen’s character, Vick Vega, is the brother of John Travolta’s character, Vincent Vega. Most Tarantino movies are movies in the world of “Kill Bill” movies. It’s not officially a Tarantino movie, but I recommend that you guys react to “Dusk Til Dawn” and “Four Rooms”.

[@Curraghmore]

If it’s the same day, it must be a coincidence that Mr. Brown looks exactly like Jimmy in Pulp Fiction, Mr. Pink looks just like the Buddy Holly waiter at Jack Rabbit Slims, Mr. White looks exactly like Winston Wolf and Mr. Orange looks exactly like Ringo?

[@platinumspider7859]

I never heard it was the same day before but the Kill Bill movies are part of the Movie Movies universe, not the Realer Than Real universe, which is the main universe.

[@Curraghmore]

If it was the same day, it was a bad day for the Vega family.

[@ThatBlackPiano]

@@Curraghmore The other characters are literally other people played by the same actors. A VERY bad day for the Vega family.

[@caseymoe816]

Also, it’s rumored that Tarantino was thinking of doing a prequel of sorts (origin story?) about the Vega brothers with Madsen and Travolta but that obviously never happened. Woulda been epic.

[@TallyDrake]

I really like Harvey Keitel as an actor. Have you seen The Piano? It stars Keitel and Holly Hunter. It won 3 Oscars and the Palme d'Or. It's a very interesting movie, imo, and worth a watch.

[@jamesodonnell3636]

Great reaction! I appreciate the references to Hitchcock's cameos and Schrodinger's Cat.

[@Kurahaara86]

I’m sure you’ve played GTA San Anreas though, if so, you have at least heard Chris Penn. He was Officer Pulaski, Tenpenny’s number two guy. RIP

[@rafaelrosario5331]

Perhaps at the end of the year a top ten films of the year list?

[@flashgordon10001]

When I saw this I was not ready for the escaltion........

[@LarryLeeder]

Tarantino is a big fan of Brian De Palma, who directed the first M:I.

[@DustinLollar]

Glad I could get the first "like" and first comment. Love your reactions. You are very knowledgeable and you guys are so enjoyable to listen too. Best of luck to you guys!

[@Flix2Us]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed.

[@jhilal2385]

Chris Penn: "Pale Rider" (1985) w/ Clint Eastwood

[@sca88]

I love happy endings.

[@RugNug]

Yep. Stuck in the middle will never be the same.

[@davewhitmore1958]

I always look at the nearest person's ear when it comes on :o

[@larsickenroth7169]

Really excited to see all these reactions, but especially when you get to ‘Once upon a time in Hollywood’. How good are all of them in this one though… especially Michael Madsen. Absolute legend. You could think about doing him as an actor and writer as well by the way (true Romance, From Dusk Till Dawn, Natural Born Killers, Four Rooms, Little Nicky etc.)

[@pobstrel]

It's a shame that originally Michael and also Tim Roth had roles in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood but Quentin had to cut them out because of running time

[@larsickenroth7169]

@@pobstrel I think Michael’s still in there? Only change is: he doesn’t die in this one. (he’s the sherrif on ‘Bounty Law’, Rick’s show)

[@pobstrel]

@@larsickenroth7169 Ah ok.i missed that! I shall rewatch it. Thanks!

[@Curraghmore]

Another loosely Tarantino-connected film that's pretty wild is 'Killing Zoe' from 1993. Not written or directed by Tarantino (he is an executive producer on it) but written and directed by Roger Avary, who co-wrote 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction' with Tarantino. It stars Eric Stoltz and French actress Julie Delpy (it's set in France) and it gets trippy. One specific scene involves someone getting shot more than I have seen anyone get shot in any other film.

[@user-EricWatson55]

Quentin typically doesn't last long when he appears in these films.

[@maximillianosaben]

The scene where they are given their name colors Tarantino considered to be his funniest scene that he'd written, up until he wrote the scene in Django Unchained involving a group of men in white hoods.

[@Flix2Us]

"All I hear is 'criticize, criticize, criticize!'."

[@rynefox7366]

I can’t wait for the Movie in a Movie reactions. Do you plan on doing Tarantino written but not directed films like True Romance and From Dusk til Dawn?

[@user-EricWatson55]

Vic Vega from this film and Vincent Vega from "Pulp Fiction" are supposed to be brothers.

[@markyboy214]

Once Upon a Time In Hollywood 🔥

[@DSmith264]

Be looking forward to 'Jackie Brown.' 😉👍

[@johnmoreland6089]

I 2nd that. I think it is QT’s best film, along with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

[@renewillner5061]

He cameos I think in all of his films.lovelovelove ❤️🌈🌸✌🏻

[@iAmPimmiCue]

Seven Psychopaths is a film I'd recommend

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Very cool movie as are most of his films. I'm not neccesarily a huge fan of every single one but the ones I like the most are all awesome. Can't wait for "Pulp Fiction" which has some throwbacks to this one. Mom is really going to like "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" since I'm sure she'll get a lot of the references. I hope you guys do the other films that he didn't direct but had involvement with. Especially "True Romance" which features a scene that most people consider one of the best scenes in movie history. It's referred to as "The Scene". Plus it has a great cast. And "From Dusk Till Dawn" and "Natural Born Killers" is a real interesting one, but I think he didn't really want to have much to do with it even though it's one of his stories but didn't care for what Oliver Stone did with it. You'll have to watch it and decide for yourselves.

[@buddinganarchist]

Mum will love Jackie Brown.

[@platinumspider7859]

There are 2 distinct Quentin Tarantino film universes, The Realer Than Real Universe and The Movies Movies Universe. Realer Than Real movies are dark, gritty, bloody but real feeling, like this one. Movies Movies are over the top, very bloody and sometimes have loose relation to physics or outright supernatural elements. The 2 universes are further connected in that the movies in the Movie Movies universe are movies that exist in the Realer Than Real universe.

[@BuckBeakGaming]

This is just the beginning of a journey yes pretty much all of the future Quentin Tarantino movies are going to be really violent and bloody for sure

[@renewillner5061]

This isn't a movie. This is art, a tapestry of history and knowledge, painted on a canvas of bullets and blood. Of all the reactions I have borne witness to for this profound and beautiful masterpiece, yours is the most entertaining. Also, I love that you guys don't edit the profanity like most other channels do. That's so fucking Awesome .
