 Mr. Brown discusses his comparative analysis on Madonna's "Like a Virgin", Joe's senior moments involving his address book rankle Mr. White, and Mr. Pink defends his anti-tipping policy until Joe forces him to leave a tip for the waitresses.
After the opening credits, the action cuts to the interior of a speeding car. Mr. White, driving with one hand, is trying to comfort Mr. Orange, who has been shot in the abdomen and is bleeding. .They arrive at an abandoned warehouse, the robbers' rendezvous point.^ He tells Blonde to head to the Warehouse where they were supposed to meet after the "perfect" crime was finished, hoping the surviving Robbers are heading there too.

 Mr. White leaves Mr. Orange on the floor when Mr. Pink appears, angrily suggesting that their robbery of a jeweler, orchestrated by Joe Cabot, was a police setup. Mr. White reveals that Mr. Brown has been shot and killed by the police, and the whereabouts of Mr. Blonde and Mr. Blue are unknown to both. A flashback is played, revealing more of Mr. White's long-time friendship with Joe Cabot.

However, they violently argue about whether or not to take the unconscious Mr. Orange to a hospital when Mr. White reveals that he had told the former his true first name.

 Mr. Blonde walks to his car and opens the trunk to reveal a captured police officer named Marvin Nash (Kirk Baltz). A flashback reveals that Mr. Blonde became involved in the heist because of his friendship with Joe.
.The three men beat the policeman until a furious Eddie arrives at the warehouse.^ It's believed that Joe was supposedly coming to the Warehouse after he talked to Dov, and when Dov talked to Eddie, it was around the time Mr. Pink, Larry, and Vic were beating on Marvin.

 After berating the men over the carnage and incompetence displayed at the heist, he orders Mr. Pink and Mr. White to assist him in retrieving the stolen diamonds and disposing of the hijacked vehicles. He orders Mr. Blonde to stay with Marvin and the dying Mr. Orange. .Nash states that he has been a police officer for eight months and is ignorant as to a possible setup.^ Marvin Nash is a young police officer that apparently, has only been on the Police force for about 8 months.

 He then pleads with Mr. Blonde to release him without further incident. However, after the others leave, Mr. Blonde confesses to enjoying torture. .He turns on the radio and dances to "Stuck in the Middle With You" by Stealers Wheel before severing Marvin's ear with a straight razor and dousing him in gasoline.^ Stealer's Wheel's hit "Stuck in the Middle with You" PLAYS over the speaker.

 Mr. Orange saves Marvin from being burned to death by shooting Mr. Blonde. Mr. Orange reveals he is a police detective named Freddy Newandyke, and reassures Marvin that a massive police force is in position several blocks downtown. They are waiting for Joe.
A series of flashback scenes detail Mr. Orange's involvement in an undercover operation to capture Joe. Mr. Brown is hit in the head while driving the getaway car and later dies; Mr. Orange is shot in the stomach by the female driver of the car he tried to steal along with Mr. White.
The remainder of the heist group returns to the warehouse to find Mr. Blonde dead. Mr. Orange claims that Mr. Blonde was going to kill Marvin, Mr. Orange and the rest of the gang so that he could take the diamonds for himself. Eddie does not believe the story and, furious with Mr. Orange, fatally shoots Marvin three times. Joe himself arrives and, after informing the group that Mr. Blue was killed, confidently accuses Mr. Orange of being an informant, forcing Mr. White to defend his friend. A shootout ensues, leaving Joe and Eddie dead, Mr. White severely wounded, and Mr. Orange mortally wounded. Mr. Pink, who avoided the shootout, takes the cache of diamonds and flees the warehouse.
As police sirens are heard outside, Mr. White cradles Mr. Orange in his arms and Mr. Orange reveals that he is in fact a detective. This piece of information devastates Mr. White, who begins sobbing in frustration. Mr. White tries pulling himself together as he points his gun at Mr. Orange's head as Mr. Pink can be heard being apprehended by the police. At that moment, the police can be heard raiding the warehouse, demanding Mr. White to drop his gun. Mr. White kills Mr. Orange, resulting in the police killing Mr. White.

 Tarantino has said that the reason for not showing the heist was initially budgetary but that he always liked the idea of not showing it and stuck with that idea. He has said that the technique lets the viewer realize that the movie is "about other things".[8] He compared this to the work of a novelist and has said that he wanted the movie to be about something that is not seen and that he wanted it to "play with a real-time clock as opposed to a movie clock ticking".[12]

The film was screened out of competition at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival.[20] It won the Critic's Award at the 4th Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival in February 1993 which Tarantino attended.[21]

Critical reaction

.At the film's release at the Sundance Film Festival, film critic Jami Bernard of the New York Daily News compared the effect of Reservoir Dogs to that of the 1895 film L'Arrivée d'un Train en Gare de la Ciotat, whereby audiences putatively observed a moving train approaching the camera and scrambled.^ Reservoir Dogs, the first film both Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino, made him known by many in the Film Industry.

 [22] Kenneth Turan of the LA Times also enjoyed the film and the acting, particularly that of Buscemi, Tierney and Madsen, and said "Tarantino's palpable enthusiasm, his unapologetic passion for what he's created, reinvigorates this venerable plot and, mayhem aside, makes it involving for longer than you might suspect."[23]
.Roger Ebert was less enthusiastic; he felt that the script could have been better and said that the movie "feels like it's going to be terrific", but Tarantino's script does not have much curiosity about the characters.^ Not bad, could be much better .

 He also stated that "[Tarantino] has an idea, and trusts the idea to drive the plot." Ebert gave the movie two and a half stars out of four also claiming that he enjoyed it, and that it was a very good film from a talented director, like other critics, he enjoyed the cast, but stated "I liked what I saw, but I wanted more".[24]
Reservoir Dogs has received substantial criticism for its strong violence and language. One particular scene that viewers found unnerving was Michael Madsen's ear-cutting scene, and Madsen himself reportedly had a great deal of difficulty finishing the scene especially after Kirk Baltz ad-libbed the desperate plea "I've got a little kid at home".[25] Many people have left theaters during the film and Tarantino commented at the time:
It happens at every single screening. For some people the violence, or the rudeness of the language, is a mountain they can't climb. That's OK. It's not their cup of tea. But I am affecting them. I wanted that scene to be disturbing.[8]
.During a screening of the movie at a Film Festival in Barcelona, fifteen people walked out, including renowned Horror film Director Wes Craven and Special Effects artist Rick Baker.^ At the end of the film, we see Mr. Pink walk out of the warehouse with the Diamonds, not shot, (see theories) maybe because of how he acted in the film.

 [26] .Baker later told Tarantino to take the walk out as a "compliment" and explained that he found the violence unnerving because of its heightened sense of realism.^ At the end of the film, we see Mr. Pink walk out of the warehouse with the Diamonds, not shot, (see theories) maybe because of how he acted in the film.
  • Quentin Tarantino Source - Your source for Quentin Tarantino's film info - 10 January 2010 5:29 UTC www.freewebs.com [Source type: Original source]

 [26]
Critic John Hartl compared the ear-cutting scene to the shower murder scene in Psycho and Tarantino to David Lynch. He furthermore explored parallels between Reservoir Dogs and Glengarry Glen Ross.[8] After this film, Tarantino was also compared to Martin Scorsese, Sam Peckinpah, John Singleton, Gus Van Sant and Abel Ferrara.[11] For its nonlinear storyline, Reservoir Dogs has also often been compared to Rashomon.[11] Critic James Berardinelli was of a similar opinion; he complimented both the cast and Tarantino's dialogue writing abilities.[27] Hal Hinson of The Washington Post was similarly enthusiastic about the cast, complimenting the film on its "deadpan sense of humor".[28] Todd McCarthy called the film "undeniably impressive" and was of the opinion that it was influenced by Mean Streets, Goodfellas and The Killing.[29]

 [32] Mark Irwin also made the connection between Reservoir Dogs and classic American noir.[33]
A notable motif in Tarantino's films is the use of accidents to move the plot further. In Reservoir Dogs, the major plot event is also moved by an accidental occurrence; in this case the robbery going awry.[12] Caroline Jewers called Reservoir Dogs a "feudal epic" and compared it to Pulp Fiction. She paralleled the color pseudonyms to color names of medieval knights.[34]
.A frequently cited comparison has been to Tarantino's second and more successful film Pulp Fiction[12][33][35] especially since the majority of audiences saw Reservoir Dogs after the success of Pulp Fiction.^ Reservoir Dogs, the first film both Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino, made him known by many in the Film Industry.

 .Comparisons have been made regarding the black humor in both the films, the theme of accidents,[12] and more concretely, the style of dialogue and narrative style that Tarantino incorporates into both of his movies.^ Reservoir Dogs, the first film both Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino, made him known by many in the Film Industry.

 [36] Also, the prominent theme of racism plays a big part in the films, specifically the relationship between whites and blacks. .Stanley Crouch of the New York Times compared the way the white criminals speak of blacks in Reservoir Dogs to the way they are spoken of in Scorsese's Mean Streets and Goodfellas.^ White, or Larry, can easily be said to be the "main" character of Reservoir Dogs.

 .Crouch observed the way the blacks are looked down upon in Reservoir Dogs, but also the way that the criminals accuse each other of "verbally imitating" the blacks and the characters' apparent sexual attraction to black actress Pam Grier.^ White, or Larry, can easily be said to be the "main" character of Reservoir Dogs.

DVD releases

Region 1 DVDs of Reservoir Dogs have been released multiple times. The first release was a single two-sided disc from Artisan Entertainment, released in June 1997 and featuring both pan-and-scan and letterbox versions of the film.[37] .Five years later, Artisan did a two-disc 10th anniversary edition featuring multiple covers color-coded to match the nicknames of five of the characters (Pink, White, Orange, Blonde and Brown) and a disc-full of bonus features such as interviews with the cast and crew.^ White, Mr. Orange, and Mr. Brown get out of there as quickly as they can, finding a car and speeding away.
  • Quentin Tarantino Source - Your source for Quentin Tarantino's film info - 10 January 2010 5:29 UTC www.freewebs.com [Source type: Original source]

 ^ As the two walk in, White tries to calm down a seriously aggravated and scared Mr. Pink.

 ^ White, Mr. Pink and Mr. Blonde surround him and proceed to beat the shit out of him.

 [38].
For the 15th anniversary of the film, Lions Gate Entertainment, which had purchased Artisan in the interim, produced a two-disc 15th anniversary edition with a remastered 16x9 transfer, a new supplement, but not all of the extra features from the 10th Anniversary edition.[39] In particular, interviews with the cast and crew were dropped, and a new 48-minute-long feature called "Tributes and Dedications" was included.[39] The packaging for the 15th anniversary edition is fancier: the discs are enclosed in a large matchbook, and the matchbook is in a thin aluminum case made to resemble a gas can.

 [40] This includes the use of snippets of dialogue from the film. The soundtrack has selections of songs from the 70s. .The radio station "K-Billy's Super Sound of the Seventies" played a prominent role in the film.^ NICE GUY EDDIE Have you guys been listening to K- BILLY's super sounds of the seventies weekend?

 ^ The sounds of the seventies are coming out of his car radio in the form of "Love Goes Where My Rosemary Goes" by Edison Lighthouse.

 ^ MR. BLONDE Let's see what's on K-BILLY'S "super sounds of the seventies" weekend.

 [41] The DJ for the radio was chosen to be Steven Wright, a comedian known for his deadpan delivery of jokes.[5]
An unusual feature of the soundtrack was the choice of songs. The film uses music from the 1970s. Tarantino has said that he feels the music to be a counterpoint to the on-screen violence and action.[42] He also stated that he wished for the film to have a '50s feel while using '70s music.[42] A prominent instance of this is the torture scene to the tune of "Stuck in the Middle With You".[43]
