Tarantino had saved $30,000 to film a short in black and white with his friends aacting in it but Harvey Keitel happened upon the script from a friend of a friend type thing. He loved it and so this famous award winning actor signed on to act in this complete unknown's directorial debut which helped Tarantino raise a little over 1.5 million to make a real movie. That's how great this script is.

[@Dinkdownn]

I didn’t know that, that’s awesome!

[@declanroberts8934]

That's totally bullshit. Your wrong about the Harvey Keitel story producers were interested in the story before he was involved. I've read "Quentin Tarantino Interviews" which is a compilation of transcripts from all of his interviews about all of his films there wasn't a single mention of the 30k story. He only mentioned renting cameras on weekends and working weekdays at the film shop in order to fund "my best friend's birthday" he did however mention a number of figures offered by producers as his script for reservoir dogs he also mentioned how he put a lot of his own money in too which may be where you've mistaken the number from.

Yes Pulp Fiction was amazing but somehow this film has the longevity. Harvey Keitel is epic in this (all the actors are to be fair) and steals the show in Pulp Fiction.

Idk, I feel it drags a bit on rewatch when it gets into Orange’s backstory. I think Pulp Fiction and True Romance (which he didn’t direct, of course) are more consistently watchable.

@Jared Falk watched Dogs the other day. Scene where White and Orange were recalling Blonde in the Jewelery store. White asks, "How old was that black girl? 18, MAYBE 19??" That was about Rosalie's age. Luther's girl who Ganz popped on the bus. Ganz executed people as Vic (Kappa Enforcer) would, BAM-BAM-BAM. Ganz took his artillary seriously. In a suitcase. Vic had his double holsters. "Firewater" and Straight-Edge razor. Vic wore cowboy boots. Ganz's native partner wore a cowboy hat. Ganz liked blondes and enjoyed killin cops. Vic was Mr Blonde and enjoyed torturin cops. Joe assigned names and apologized for yellin after the Bullpen story. Cates yelled "HAMMOND" in the cellhouse and later apologized for... Name-callin. Tired now. Gnite One more thing...Billy was extension of Ganz. Both Billy and Vic used knives, died when they least expected. People think Donnie was an extension of Walter. I think Walter was an extension of the Dude. I KNOW that B Pitt was an extension of DiCaprio's insecure ass in Tarantino's Last... Joe Kappa looked just like The Thing! Backdraft firehouse mascot was named 'the Thing'. Looked just like, Jack Cates!

[@versetripn6631]

@Jared Falk when I mentioned Billy as an extension of Ganz, I was thinking in the Abstract as a character in another movie had a line: Joe Don Baker as a Private Investigator. Was helping a 'gun-naivette' learn to fire his weapon. "Just think of it as an extension of your fist!" JDB was the Sheriff in ORIGINAL 'Walking Tall'. His extension? A 2x4. The client learning the gun? Nick Nolte, 'Cape Fear'. Pitt was DiCaprio's extension vs the Manson fam. 'The Bear Jew' was Pitt's extension in...'Inglorious Basterds'. 'Donnie/Basterds' = Baseball bat Sheriff JDB/W.Tall = 2x4 "Sheriff" Hammond = toothpick Wood "Toothpick" Vic = Fire/Metal I can go on and on with elemental extensions. Walter/Dude's extension, used Stone (bowling ball) vs Nihilist Germans...😎 Nolte almost used stone vs DeNiro (Cape Fear 'Avenger') "I can do this ALL day!" - Steve/Cap Joe Kappa's Heist meeting was a mirror to Dalton's 'Roadhouse' bar redesign meeting. Connectors: "My way or the Highway! Chalkboard. Class seating. Empty building of operation. Pink to Joe: "Why am I Mr Pink? Joe: "Because you're a FAGGOT!" Morgan (baby Stark) Morgan (bouncer?) To Dalton: "You ASSHOLE, ...wtf am I supposed to do? Dalton: There's always Barber College!" I can personally connect (in Abstract), DOZENS of films from my memory. Zero influence from Social Media. I can do it on request! Try me: Name 3 of your Favs from the 80s! Also, I am NOT arrogantly boasting. I'm enthusiastically SHARING. I'm grateful for a gift that many may never recognize us ALL capable of. For that gift within, is intentionally being eroded. Why did Nolte/Cape Fear not know a gun? Wasn't it obvious in 48hrs? 😂 Why did 'buggin out' Billy Ray Valentine suggest to an officer to use his nightstick? He'd just come from bein strangled by one in 'Do the Right Thing'. Had escaped jail with Giancarlo Esposito left behind. Buggin Out(Esposito)/Radio Raheem both taken to jail night prior. Sorry, doin this with one hand while curling with other.

Yes he was the only one being a professional, BUT as soon as he knew there was a rat, he should have taken the bag of diamonds and hit the road. (I would have) had he done that 1. he would have lived, and had hundreds of thousands? of dollars worth of stones he could later try and fence (outside of the country most likely) 2. IF things cooled down and it turns out there wasn't a rat things just went south really quick, he could make contact with Joe and let him know he had the diamonds and see how Joe wanted to proceed. Pink was a professional, but as soon as your know there is a Rat, all bets are off and it is everyone for themselves, especially when you have dead people and dead cops.

[@tbirum]

@@Meh2752 Sure, I am 48 years old and I got introduced to World War 2 in my early teens (The History of it) and fell in love with the History of it. So I was really hyped for this film (Inglorious Bastards) NOW the acting in this film is AMAZING, especially Christoph Waltz He earned that Oscar. The issue I have with the film is that the story deviates from reality in ways that it did not need to, there were many attempts on Hitlers life (All of them Failed) so this is one of those situations where I think they should have made the attempt and failed, (some of them could have still escaped) but the film just shows very unrealistic scenario for trying to kill Hitler. Brad Pitts Character was in part chosen because he could speak "Italian" and thus he could pass himself off as an Italian Officer?, REALLY with his strong southern accent? I LOVED LOVED LOVED many aspects of this film, but I just found the third act to be silly and not believable. I have the film I do not HATE the film, and I love the first act and second act, it is just the third act where I feel the film goes off the rails. When you know a LOT about the history of WW2 and the attempts to assassinate Hitler then you see the third act of that film to be a bit insulting. Good overall film, it is just that 3rd act that causes me to dislike the film as a whole.

I love the almost the father-son relationship that develops between White and Orange. The entire movie, White behaves like a dad, holding his hand, comforting him when he's bleeding out and of course defending him literally to the death. Even during the heist, even though we don't actually see it happen, everything points towards shit hitting the fan and White taking the effort to go get Orange and take him with him, and when Orange is in shock he protects him and guides him to safety. I think the reason it's such an effective movie is because it's got that relationship as its emotional core and it is so obvious just how much White grows to love Orange.

Prone to alcoholism and getting in bar fights, later in life Tierney commented "I threw away 7 careers because of drink" and he sunk into zero-budgeters in the 1950's. In the 1970's he drove a hansom cab in NYC. But Tarantino was always a fan and cast him; Tierney's battered mug and gravel-voice are perfect for the role.

Jackie Brown is his best in my opinion because this is him adapting a book which caused him not to go over the top in all his usual aspects (blood, the use of the N-word and its many forms, feet😂 etc) and he makes a very tight film here for me. I love it!

[@mercurymachines4311]

@@avgnfandon2 yeah, totally agree.

[@LiTTleGaBi21]

I think it’s his most retrained film and it personally grew on me over the years and I like it better than Pulp Fiction but I wouldn’t say it’s his best imo

[@magicbrownie1357]

I love how you both went slack-jawed for like 5 seconds after the shoot out at the end.

[@ouethojlkjn]

The scene that is most memorable for me and the most striking, is when Mr. Blonde walks out of the mayhem of torturing the cop into a sunny "nothing to see here - move along" back street with kids playing and suburban housing opposite, then steps back into the horrific world he just came from. With a can of Petrol. It is a very clever theatrical device I guess, and also used to great effect in classics like John Carpenter's original "Halloween"

[@stevenspringer1599]

the father, Lawrence Tierney, was a big deal hollywood tough guy in the 40s: "Notorious for his frequent, well-publicized barroom brawls and the like, including being stabbed in 1973. In his later years, he continued as a screen actor projecting the hard-as-nails mien that has been ingrained since his younger days, as evidenced in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs (1992)."

[@torpedoboy4]

Jonah Hill as Nice Guy Eddie's ghost! I quite like that! You're 100% correct that this film feels different. It's a perfect script, and the editing is on point. What people fail to notice, however is that Taratino's films are a 50/50 collaboration with his editor Sally Menke. She was the one responsible for the timing and she was famous for keeping Tarantino in check by reducing the bloat of his films. In other words, she saves him from himself. She tragically died just after she edited "Inglorious Basterds" which is why the films after that "feel" different. "Django Unchained" was basically Tarantino stepping out on his own for the first time in 2 decades, and he didn't want to simply copy Sally's style of cutting and timing. I'm not actually sure he could if he wanted to. Anyways, "Reservoir Dogs" represents the purest and best of their relationship resulting in a perfect film. It reminds me of when Prince met Wendy and Lisa, and his sound TOTALLY changed. Wendy and Lisa added a brooding, jazzy, and moody sound to The Revolution that was iconic. When they left the group, they took that sound with them.

[@Atem_in_the_streets]

Just discovered this channel and have been binging all night. You guys are awesome! 🤘🏿

[@1000000man1]

There's a Theory that Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction both take place at the same time, around the same area and that's why the Police Don't show up in Pulp Fiction, because when a policeman gets shot in America, every cop in the area is called to the scene. I'm not sure if Tarantino has confirmed it or not but he did apparently say that all his films exist in one Universe. Some of them are supposed to be films within that universe.

[@glendagiggles]

I also read that Vincent Vega (John Travolta from "Pulp Fiction") and Vic Vega a.k.a. Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) are brothers!

[@thewave-qz9lt]

you guys shoud watch City on fire 1987 the movie that was the inspiration for Reservoir Dogs.

[@philiphunn194]

Fun fact: Kirk Baltz ad-libbed that "I got a little kid at home" line, and Michael Madsen was almost unable to continue because his wife had just given birth to his first child. Baltz also insisted on Madsen driving him around the block while he was in the boot of his car, just to get into character a bit more, so Madsen decided to prank him by driving erratically so that he got thrown around inside the boot.

[@sarahwhite4906]

Thank you two for reacting. This is one of my top 5 favorite movies. "You're not gonna die...you're gonna be okay"

[@TheImelda28]

Fun fact: Quentin was briefly in a Golden Girls episode as an Elvis impersonator. The money he earned on that helped towards the budget of Dogs. Thank The Golden Girls!

[@kristal9355]

Four rooms is my personal favorite and True Romance is a close second. I love this reaction. Im so happy you both enjoyed it. Funny story Michael Madsens Character is related to John Travoltas character in Pulp Fiction. In the Documentary Quentin explains every movie is distantly connected.

[@kristal9355]

Any additional Tarantino film reactions would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the amazing content.

[@lauradawson7964]

I was 10 when this film came out and it was my favourite movie throughout my teenaged years. Just loved it. Had the movie, the soundtrack, the script etc. Still like to watch it from time to time. Great to hear your thoughts on it!

[@cyrisssmith8830]

I put off watching this for life reasons, forgot about it, then saw another one of you videos and clicked on it just to get back around to this one. Lol. Movies with twists make for better reactions.

[@robpegler6545]

The codenames-based-on-colours idea came from the original version of THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 (1974) with Walter Matthau. The hijackers in that film were codenamed Mr Blue, Mr Green, Mr Grey and Mr Brown.

[@MikeSmith-qg3bf]

Yes! This was a great review of Reservoir Dogs! I think that it has been totally underrated. But it was a fun video, so thanks for the laughs.

[@markusjoepen4915]

Never ever expected you guys to rate it that high. I's an awesome film, and I'm old enough to have been following QT throughout his career. It was also his first movie I've seen and I was hooked immediately. Loved everything that came after - and Tom - "Jackie Brown" was also one of his movies I didn't watch until a year ago (for whatever reason) and it is incredible. The dialogue is beyond spectacular, so please watch it. Not as violent as Reservoir Dogs and some of his other films, but just an awesome film. Thanks for the reaction, you two!

[@TheDunnDusted]

If you ever hear someone say they haven't experienced something, a movie, book, tv show, band, never say something along the lines of: "How could not have heard of them" or "Do you live under a rock". Instead, you should be gleeful, cause you can get them into this new thing and experience their reaction to the twists and turns. Say instead, "You're in fora treat".

[@josephbatey6159]

You need to do all Tarantino movies, all brilliant to watch no matter how many times you’ve seen them. Great reaction guys keep it up👍🏻

[@mrjohn.whereyoufrom]

Mr Blue is played by Edward Bunker a former infamous bank and armed robber of the 60’s & 70’s who later became a successful author and screenwriter. He wrote the screenplay for Runaway Train and Animal Factory. He also appeared in Heat, Tango & Cash and The Running Man. Straight Time starring Dustin Hoffman is based on his life.

[@vellaropedart9190]

Not many realize it was Pink who shot Nice Guy Eddie that set off the shootout between the 3. No one had a gun on Eddy in the standoff but he was shot in his right lung,after which Pink emerges from beneath the ramp with gun in hand.

[@LaMonicaWilliams]

Nothing scarier in this movie.. than the words “ALONE AT LAST” ! And you know .. that cop is in for it.

[@tomchesley2604]

Reservoir Dogs is his best work. Like I said...it conveys a sense of tension that is palpable. Plus the basic-ness of the sets and basic plot yet it still takes hold of you....

[@FUCKINGENIOUS]

You guys do pretty good work, fun yet depth filled reviews.

[@79mib]

Digging the set up to RD with IB playing in the background

[@magsandher3moggies81]

Thanks for your reaction vids. Love them. Thumbs up guys 👍👍👍

[@lizjewelry]

I remember seeing RD for the first time on Xmas Eve w/my brother. We'd both heard about it when it was virtually unknown. We had to drive into SFO to find it, playing in one little arthouse theatre. Loved, of course! Totally rewatchable, primarily b/c of the writing. It's just so much fun!

[@ianchristopher9422]

You guys making a reaction to my favorite Tarantino film its great man. Tarantino just changed the ways you can write dialogue and shoot a story hes one of a kind talent.

[@gamleskalle1]

QT is so great here with dialogue, plot, acting, characters. Impressive for first time director with No film school.

[@MetallicOpeth]

love to see your guys' appreciation for the classics. nice

[@nickspa1]

I'm 25 years older than ewes guys. I'm so excited to see people find the movies I love. I could talk Tarantino all effin day. The fact that one of you rates Death Proof so high brings me joy. You guys should work on directors' careers, or maybe screenwriters. Love to hear thoughts on Paddy Chayefsky. And I can't do the Patreon, but I would. Covid cost me a job for eight months, and we're just getting caught up.

[@shainewhite2781]

Such an amazing neo noir heist film by Quentin Tarantino. I saw this film on VHS in 1996, 4 years after it's theatrical release. I didn't know what it was about, but then over time, I began to realize it's about a group of thieves ponder the identity of a traitor during a failed jewelry heist.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

The thing I love about this movie is how masterfully the characters progress in development as it progresses. We get more and more of the true depths of these characters coming out as time goes by: we learn about how Pink is actually a extremely professional, despite his appearance as the most weaselly of the group. We see that Blonde was absolutely out of his mind but he was also very dedicated to Joe and Eddie. We see that Eddie is actually a savage killer despite his appearance as a molly-coddled gangster's son. And it all plays out very organically.

[@Sennesation]

Still my favourite Tarantino film. It won't be beaten. The ear cutting scene is one of the best in film history.

[@vovindequasahi]

Aww man the cast in this fucking movie! Harvey Keitel, Chris Penn, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Steve Buscemi, Randy Brooks, and of course Tarantino himself. All just playing off each others' energies!

[@domcoke]

I saw Reservoir Dogs in 1992, at a midnight showing - and was absolutely blown away. And I totally agree re his early work. I think there is debate as to whether Dogs or Pulp Fiction is his best film. I veer between the two. But either way, Reservoir Dogs is lean & perfectly drawn, and structured piece of work - and actually much better than his later films. I TOTALLY agree about his later films being indulgent - he needs an editor/script editor who doesn't pander to that indulgent - sadly, it's not gonna happen now.

[@thedeepfriar745]

This is one of the most intense films ever, all without ever showing the actual heist

[@auntvesuvi3872]

I vividly recall first seeing RESERVOIR DOGS (1992) at Canal Place Cinema in New Orleans. 💥 Thanks, Shaun! Thanks, Tom!

[@xr4tihonk]

Tarantino tells us at the start that Orange is the rat, when he snitches on Pink for not tipping! Brilliant.

[@FurryStockings]

That sneeze sounded so violent lol

[@chefskiss6179]

Oh man, what a great pick. This flick really does have that old school / guerrilla filmmaking / Sydney Lumet / Dog Day Afternoon aesthetic. First time I saw it, it felt like a film version of a broadway play. One of the great shocking things about this flick that's lost today is that it was one of the first movies to just have those shootouts and gun shots use 'real' sounds, especially the way it echoed in the streets. It's kinda taken for granted but it really was shocking to hear actual 'raw' gun shot sounds instead of the pre-recorded over the top sound usually heard. I think a lot of movies changed over because of this and its' influence is felt all the way through to that shootout in Michael Mann's Heat.
