There was a '60s spaghetti western that had an infamous ear being sliced off scene. It was called _Django_ ... perhaps Tarantino might have seen it ;oP

[@aaroncarter7164]

Seeing Tim Roth reminds me of a film I would LOVE to see you react to: Four Rooms! It has four co-directors and, um, four rooms... you would enjoy that! Also has a stellar cast including Tim Roth, Antonio Banderas, Quentin Tarantino, Bruce Willis, Madonna... not many people seem to know this movie, a real hidden gem

[@AlexG1020]

Mr Orange's apartment was a room above the Warehouse they dressed up to make it look like he lived there.

[@MajorProgress]

Wait... Serious.... Googling now!

[@stiofanmac]

tarantino is THE best screen writer/dialogue writer/ words for movies writer since the 50s/70s - he reminded everyone what great writing means to making great film - as they say ''its all on the page''. when this was shown at the cannes film festival ( where it became famous) at the 'EAR'' scene half the audience walked out in disgust - how times have changed.

[@thunderb4stard80]

This comment is fucking bulls.... oh wait since the 50s/70s. Sorry yep ur right, I'm on board, no one writes dialogue with the love and attention that tarantino does nowadays. He's someone who really does care for older cinema

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

I got the intro scene of them walking tattooed on my forearm in high school. It's the silhouettes in the Band Apart logo Tarantino used for a while.

[@MajorProgress]

If you're going to get a tattoo of a movie scene, not a bad choice at all.

[@McLir]

My Mom said one day, (paraphrasing) "Hey there's this guy who is going to be on Johnny Carson tonight. He used to work at a video store, but he's made this interesting movie." So I watched. It was a great interview and the clip they showed floored me. It was the scene with Steve Buscemi* running down the street, shooting at the cops, and having a moment in an intersection. And I had never seen a chase scene shot like that ever before (because, that was straight out of Hong Kong cinema and I'd never seen that style). I was like, Why aren't all movies shot like this? (Soon enough, they were.) At last, the movie played in Detroit. My brother and a friend and I went to see it. My brother quoted some reviewer who said "It's too bloody for the art crowd and it's too arty for the blood crowd." Thankfully that was wrong and it's a classic from a guy who changed moviemaking. As we walked out of the theater, I broke the silence with "I wanna gun."** Our friend said, "I want two guns." BTW, the latest Video Archives Podcast with QT, Roger Avery and Roger's daughter gala features customer Joe Dante, and it's a treat! * Steve Buscemi had already made a big impression on me with Mystery Train, a Jim Jarmusch film that, I think, informed both RD and Pulp Fiction. ** I'm not a gun guy. I was joking.

[@anthonymunn8633]

I love everything about this movie.I especially love lawrence Tierney as Joe.He was a regular in film noir,but was probably better known for drunken brawling and multiple arrests.In fact he was arrested during the filming for shooting at his nephew.

[@mattp.3949]

See Glengary Glen Ross (1992) based on the stage play of the same name with a similar setting and plot outline with the element of crime, starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Kevin Spacey, and Alec Baldwin.

[@MajorProgress]

I have still not seen this movie but some friends and I shot a parody of a scene from it. Instead of leads on whatever they are peddling in Glengary Glen Ross, it's Glen, Gary and Ross not able to pick-up and close when hitting on women at a bar. It was a lot of fun. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6LJqH6HgMx8bLM I need to check out the original movie for sure.

[@anrun]

"Stop pointin' that gun at my daddy!!!!"

[@MajorProgress]

Seriously, so many great lines but this one hit differently! He was pleading and threatening at the same time.

[@anrun]

@@MajorProgress He actually doesn't say "daddy", but it is funnier that way.

[@MajorProgress]

@@anrun No, I know he says dad, but you're also right. Daddy is funnier!

[@TTM9691]

I saw this the week it came out; it was sort of the return of Harvey Keitel. Harvey had two movies that came out that month: Reservoir Dogs and Bad Lieutenant. I saw 'em both. Definitely "Reservoir Dogs" blew me away and Tarantino was instantly a guy to watch out for. Great reaction! I forget how tense it is on a first viewing! I sorta take it for granted now! PS: Love Jackie Brown! I hope you hit that Tarantino one day!

[@ThomasStClair-zr2lb]

It's so interesting how Tarantino took the last 15 or so minutes of another movie called City on Fire and stretched it out and made a whole movie from it. It's a good watch to see some of the shots and plot points he lifted for Reservoir Dogs.

[@annaclarafenyo8185]

He was angry at City on Fire for not having the dramatically correct resolution of the Mexican standoff, which is everyone gets shot.

[@arconeagain]

I feel so lucky to have watched this, Pulp Fiction and other great films up until around 2000 when I was a young man. If you do an Australian film in the future, can I suggest Chopper? I thought of it because of the dialogue, scene setting, lighting and visual effects.

[@bustercolin7507]

It's great listening to you guys laying down certain scenes and the cinematography that you dont get from other film reviewers that I've seen, no offence to them. It's a great ride.

[@Markrobinson-bb3ti]

The dialogue man! the words have so much power. A+ movie I love it. "I told 'em not to touch the alarm they did...If they hadn't done what I told 'em not to do, they'd still be alive." - Mr. Blonde. The mind of a true psychopath. Just listen and you won't be murdered haha

[@annaclarafenyo8185]

Tarantino's use of the "n-word" is EXTREMELY important! It's one of the masterful pieces in the construction of the shifting loyalties in the film. People use the racist language to make the in-group bond tighter, when they feel like they aren't powerful. Buscemi's character "Mr. Pink", who is Jewish, feels like an outsider ("I didn't know even a f***ing J** would say that"). When he uses the slur, it's an attempt to bond with White. When Joe uses the slur (he actually uses a much older slur, J*ngleB***y), it's sincere racism, he's old. But when they are driving and his son tells the "Lady E" story, we find out that the son has a deep appreciation of black culture, despite making a superficial show of racism when he's around his dad. Mr. Orange's boss is black, which makes it difficult for him to toss around superficial racism, and makes him more of an outsider. The whole film operates like a Shakespeare play, inside the minds of the characters, and their loyalties, and the racism is central to this dynamic.

[@geoffmason7215]

always a favourite

[@AdamtheGrey02]

Chris Penn died way too young and it's a shame because he really showed his acting chops in this. RIP

[@JH-lo9ut]

Was just wondering why I hadn't seen him in more films. Short cuts come to mind, but I can't remember anything else besides reservoir dogs. Sad to hear he's gone. He was a fenomenal talent.

[@AdamtheGrey02]

@@JH-lo9ut Yeah I only saw him in 2 or 3 myself. Footloose is the other that comes to mind.

[@Jack_The_Lad_13]

@@JH-lo9ut True romance…partnered with tom sizemore as cops planning a sting on the drug deal, amazing film, amazing script by Tarantino, fantastic performances all around.

[@aaroncarter7164]

I love how the present day story of this film lasts as long as the film itself!

[@wwk68tig]

Quentin Tarantino....mmmmm. Reservoir Dogs....mmmmm. Port wine cheese spread....mmmmm. Enjoyable post, as always. Thanks, fellas..........

[@MajorProgress]

'M'm! M'm! Good!' We are the Campbell's of movie reviews. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zme4koWXoa-So5o Thank you!

[@penoyer79]

i think Orange told him out of guilt, maybe he thought at that point he was dead anyway. plus Tarantino said that White/orange developed a father/son bond... so there's a lot of reasons orange has to unload

[@Zseventyone]

Cannot fathom anyone being a director without seein’ this film.

[@steveclapper5424]

My favorite Tarantino movie a handful of characters and locations that could be anywhere, movie making at the highest level.

[@Tom-uv7ry]

My favourite tarantino movie is Jackie Brown . Then pulp fiction then reservoir Dogs they are all quality though

[@TJClark-sw2yz]

This was a nice surprise. Cops and robbers,crime and punishment,mafia movie madness. It’s a very rich genre. How do you feel about the movie: “Heat” from a movie makers standpoint it may be a fun one to react/ review. Keep up the great content.

[@annaclarafenyo8185]

You can see the "Quentin Tarantino cut", a fan-edit of True Romance putting it in Tarantino order and with Tarantino's original ending (which Scott shot, but didn't use, it's included as a bonus in the DVD). The final film is superior to Scott's film in every respect, it's actually a masterpiece, and the subtlety is that it becomes Alabama's story, not Clarence's.

[@WUStLBear82]

There can be no comparison of Kaukauna spreadable cheese and Easy Cheese--it may not have the fun factor, but the taste is superior. Port Wine or Smoky Cheddar...it's a tough choice. Their cheese logs rolled in chopped nuts are also great.

[@MajorProgress]

A fellow cheese spread aficionado, Let's GO! The smokey Cheddar is also a choice flavor. People be sleeping on the spreadable cheeses!

[@triabunna]

just surprised that a movie buff is not aware/hasn't seen this film

[@triabunna]

check out Eddie bunker

[@mediaman5146]

Hello Guys,been watching your vids the past couple of days.I have enjoyed what you guys have watched.'I'm a huge movie nerd Tarantino is a force of nature with his dialogue.Tru Romance is my favorite Tarantino script.If you are doing crime movies try To Live in Die in LA.Great Friedkin film.Keep up the great videos.

[@MajorProgress]

Tru Romance I have to see it because I wanna see how someone else directs a Tarantino screenplay!

[@AlexG1020]

All of Tarantinos movies besides his first 3 have this like wink and nod to the audience that this Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown dont really have, they feel a lot more gritty and realistic. Reservoir Dogs the most, Tarantino was hungry and it really shows with how tight it is. IMO his best

[@thefincapaloma]

Seeing that you are now into crime and punishment, you really should do Once upon a time in America. It marries mafia with Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, James Woods, Jennifer Connelly, Danny Aiello, Treat Williams, William Forsyth. I put this on par with The Godfather. If you really want to be original, check out Extreme Prejudice. Mexican Mafia, western, 80s action all rolled into one killer punch.

[@bnf57]

For somebody into movies, I'm surprised how many famous movies you haven't seen dude.

[@dezhar]

I wonder if Vick Vega's warrant officer, Scagnetti, is the same one as in Natural Born Killers. Tom Sizemore played him RIP

[@majormoviemadness9927]

I’ll have to watch that again

[@dezhar]

@@majormoviemadness9927 Make sure the director's cut!

[@Just-Saiyan]

🤙

[@anrun]

Has there ever been a character who needed killing more than Mr. Blonde? I don't think there is any chance you'll do a reaction to it, but Tim Roth's first theatrical film was The Hit (1984) directed by Stephen Frears. It is as thought provoking a crime und punishment film as any you could do. Great lead performances from John Hurt and Terrence Stamp. And Roth has a memorable moment near the end that will bring a famous scene in The Godfather to mind. Another great English crime/gangster film is The Long Good Friday with a brilliant Bob Hoskins as a gangster/criminal looking to go straight-ish.

[@MajorProgress]

Mr. Blonde was loyal but ruthless AF. We might do some lesser-known or less popular stuff down the line because there is so much to watch and we like to do anything we think the other would enjoy.

[@anrun]

@@MajorProgress Okay, thanks. It would be nice to see reactions to films no one else has reacted to. Of all the films I've suggested in your comment sections, Once Upon a Time in America would be my first choice to see you two do. It is a great film that is in the same class as The Godfather. My second choice would be The Friends of Eddie Coyle. I think the two of you would find it more relatable than the two British films I suggested above. It is such an unknown gem with great dialogue. What do some small-time crooks have to do to survive? The Friends of Eddie Coyle shows you.

[@MajorProgress]

@@anrun Once Upon a Time in America is long time coming. I want to see what the man did with a mafia movie. Leon is a brilliant painter and I only expect it to be a masterpiece even though it's a "different" genre than what he is known for. I actually have a spreadsheet of suggestions and who suggested them so we are all about watching stuff we and our fellow Movie Madness Marauders.

[@anrun]

@@MajorProgress That is great to hear. I'm sure you'll find it an amazing piece of work, though it isn't as straightforward a film as The Godfather. Like many, I'm still not sure I know how to interpret the ending. As much as I love Once Upon a Time in America and Eddie Coyle, I lied or brain-cramped earlier; Chinatown is the film I'd like you two to do most. It is also a stone-cold masterpiece. Put it on that spreadsheet!

[@TD-mm7nj]

u should do True Romance or Hateful Eight next

[@brentfreeland5834]

I hear Mr. Pink took the diamonds and buried them somewhere in Fargo. ✌️

[@GIBBO4182]

How have you never watched this film?

[@slowerthinker]

From what I remember hearing a Tarantino directed _True Romance_ would have had an erratic timeline with the events taking place out of chronological order in a similar fashion to _Pulp Fiction_

[@steveclapper5424]

Then thank God he didn't, I love that movie.

[@truckinfool3550]

Have you guys seen Trees Lounge, Steve Buscemi’s movie?

[@chrism7395]

For this crime & punishment series, Edgar Wright's Baby Driver (2017) would fit very well.

[@C4OFUNITX]

I enjoy your reactions but I have to ask Major how are you a movie buff but never watched some of the best movies ever made?

[@majormoviemadness9927]

@majorprogress in his defense he has never claimed to be a movie buff only a filmmaker/cinematographer. I do agree with you but, hey there’s be no show without it. If you really want to laugh ask major where he worked in the nineties that should have helped him

[@nicosmind3]

Question, has Major seen any movies? Lol

[@eeejjj6378]

Great movie. You guys should consider Donnie Brasco. What a great film. Also has Michael Madsen.

[@jammygitt]

Tarantino only made three great movies - Res Dogs and Pulp Fiction were Great and Jackie Brown was very good. Tried to watch others. Haven't even bothered with any since I gave up on Inglorious Basterds which felt like a glorified music video

[@AngryJT]

Filmmaker yet it's his first time watching RD? How?

[@majormoviemadness9927]

I wish I had a dime for every time this comes up

[@MajorProgress]

A lot of movies have been made, and it's hard to have seen them all, even the classics and the greats. I'm playing catch-up though. The random thing is I have seen movies that he (Tarantino's) is referencing in his movies. I watch so many Chinese/Japanese martial arts films and dramas and westerns as a kid, so when watching this I was like oh I know where a shot or a style got its influence from, I just hadn't seen his version of it. This is half the fun of watching these movies. Noticing the connective tissue.

[@AngryJT]

But this is Reservoir Dogs, this is like filmmaker 101 for anyone under 50 and over 12.
