Stuck in the Middle with You | Reservoir Dogs (1992) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction

[@Elerad]

I loved Madsen describing what it's like when people see him on the streets. Little kids see him and get all excited because hey! It's the dad from Free Willy! The parents see him and pull the kid away, going, "Don't go near that man." LOL

[@ivans.191]

"don't LISTEN to this man"😁

[@66.6FMRadio]

Fun Fact, due to budget constraints, the song "Stuck in the Middle With You" in this scene ate up the ENTIRE budget for music for the film.

[@robertthompson5908]

@@66.6FMRadio it was worth it.

[@kos2919]

To be fair it create a great impact.

[@pinverarity]

Which is why there was no other music in the film, and no soundtrack album that sold almost a million copies in the U.S. alone.

[@Fakename70]

It doesn’t even survive the entire length of the song once it starts. Curiously, the radio goes silent once the shooting starts. Maybe Orange killed the radio too.

[@zjbell700]

Love Michael Madsen. He's in my top 10 of all time favorite character actors. But you gotta give some respect to Kirk Baltz (the cop) in this scene. He was toe to toe with Madsen in this scene. His fear and desperation matched the level of crazy and insane that Madsen was portraying. Wild scene but beautifully acted by both men.

[@MDK2_Radio]

Don’t know if it’s true, but I read that his plea for the sake of his kids was improvised and almost broke Madsen, who IRL is much more of an empath.

[@robertphillips213]

Doesn't have an ego, that man. Mr. Madsen has no problem starring in small to no budget films if he likes the script. Even fan-films.

[@Redmist-se7ld]

He was awesome as Rudy in the getaway movie in 1994

[@seamusburke639]

5:15 My favorite part of the scene; he walks outside and the music gets quieter until he goes back inside. So clever!

[@dwaiting883]

It allows you just a moment to step out of the fear and anxiety and pain, so you can think about what you just saw more. The real world is out there just clicking away. Then you step back into the madness. The nightmare isn't over.

[@reconsoldier135]

I can’t hear this song without instantly thinking of this scene

[@Nueztoy]

No one can

[@MDK2_Radio]

I never heard this song before seeing this movie, which I did when it came out on VHS. I mean, probably I had but it just didn’t stick with me for whatever reason. Naturally I have no concept of the song without this scene.

[@tyjuanwilliams8719]

This movie changed the whole way this song was originally written about.

[@BuddyBoy-ne1nw]

I also think of the Itchy and Scratchy version.

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

[@blackwolf6082]

The collective silence at the end was so excellent

[@Hype679]

The line that gets me every time. "Don't go anywhere, I'll be right back."

[@fashizzle78]

The fact that that cop knew Mr Orange was a cop and was willing to be beatin to a pulp by Mr White and Mr Pink and have his ear cut off and burned alive before givin up Orange says alot about his loyalty to his job

[@korganrocks3995]

Or his lack of imagination. I'd take a bullet to the head to save someone's life, but I ain't getting tortured for anyone or anything.

[@alonenjersey]

Joe should have known that Vic (Mr. Orange) was a pyschopath before choosing him for the diamond robbery.

[@user-lb9xw4xf2q]

@@alonenjersey I think Joe did know, which he felt was an attribute.

[@alonenjersey]

@@user-lb9xw4xf2q In the last scene of this film, Joe did confess: "I should have head examined."

[@matthewmaning4859]

​@@alonenjersey Vic was Mr. Blonde not Mr. Orange.

[@chesteradams7423]

Mr. Blonde's name is Victor Vega and he is the brother of Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction. So Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs takes place in the same universe.

[@Hype679]

My favorite theory is that both movies take place in the same week. Give or take a day or two. With the robbery in Reservoir Dogs leading almost directly into the events in Pulp Fiction.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

Victor was supposed to be in Pulp Fiction, but Mansen couldn't make it. Rather than react him, he made Travolta's character, Vincent, his brother.

[@ashleyharris9016]

That I don’t know about, they probably meant a different Vega family. I never heard either one of them mention each other in both movies

at 3:39, the woman on the right starts pumping her arm and says, "I love this song," and all I'm thinking is, "not for long."

[@ianchristopher9422]

A scene so uncomfortable to watch that even A Nightmare on Elm Street director Wes Craven walked out of a screening of Reservoir Dogs when this scene was shown! True story.

Suppose theres a difference between violence on screen and comic book horror violence.

Mr. Craven is a decent man.

Because Elm Street's Freddy Krueger is more like a cartoon character and the deaths can be quite silly.

[@briancromartie3149]

The movie that put Quentin on the radar. A independent film, that became a cult classic.

[@MichalSw]

[@jackgrimaldi8685]

He's not the Dude, he's Mr. Lebowski. The other guy is the Dude, soo, that's what you call him, you know.

[@ColemanJRimer]

That cop is the unspoken badass of the film.

[@BeardOfRiker]

The genius of this scene is that by showing Mr Blonde playing the song and dancing before he tortures the cop, the viewer sides with him because he seems cool as hell. That makes the torture even worse to witness. That comes through big time in these reactions. When the song starts and he dances everyone smiles and laughs, then it’s straight down hill. Great compilation!

[@korganrocks3995]

Sure, if you have the memory of a goldfish, and forget that he literally just said he's gonna torture the cop just for fun. At no point did I think he seems cool as hell, and a few old man dance moves ain't gonna change that. Entertaining as hell, yes, but there's a difference between enjoying an entertaining character and siding with him.

[@MDK2_Radio]

@@korganrocks3995I agree. Keeping also in mind that much of the preceding 20 minutes or so consisted of Mr. Black and Mr. Pink talking about his needless slaughter at the robbery and confronting him about that, which he showed no emotion about.

[@BeardOfRiker]

@@korganrocks3995 Watch the reactions. One person said he was Ric Flair. Others started dancing. It’s not an insult to the viewers, it’s a compliment to Tarantino’s skills. Maybe “side with him” isn’t the right way to say it, but the positive vibe is definitely there.

[@korganrocks3995]

@@MDK2_Radio Yeah, he was already a clear maniac before he started talking torture.

[@korganrocks3995]

@@BeardOfRikerYeah, as I said, he's a very entertaining character, so I don't blame anyone thinking he's cool and fun, but I don't think any of those reactors were rooting for him to "win" the movie.

In college, watched this movie over and over again with my homies. We knew almost every line. Launched one of the best directorial careers in history. Think about the past 25 years of filmmaking, and it’s Tarantino and Nolan on the very top, for me.

Notice how most already knew the song despite never seeing the film, but they only knew about it because of the film that made it popular. Funny that.

[@trol68419]

This guy was actually their good luck charm, in a really messed up way. Remember, the cops were waiting for them at the bank. They were probably waiting for them to leave the bank before nabbing them, but because Mr. Blonde started killing employees it caused the chaos needed to allow some of them to escape. Otherwise they would have all been arrested or killed as soon as they left the bank.

[@luckypunfire6263]

Instead they were all arrested and/or killed a little later, *including Joe and Eddie.* Not so lucky, methinks.

[@jculver1674]

It never occurred to me until now that if Mr. Blonde had burned the cop to death, he would've also burned the entire building down, and thus Mr. Orange was also saving himself from the fire by shooting him. Good catch by the reactors on that one.

[@MDK2_Radio]

I always wondered why Mr. Orange didn’t think to make that his reason when he had to justify it to Nice Guy Eddie. I guess it’s not as good for the story as his concern for a brother officer coming out was, but you know how you think about these things like they’re real life.

Oscars are for The masses and rhe mainstream, The Palm D'or is for the Artists and Avante -Garde. Might have been $40,000 budget, but think it was $20,000! Hence, one main location!
