Reservoir Dogs.

[556A2]

At first I didn't really like it, but then I apprecaited the interaction between the characters. Pulp Fiction to me was a better movie, but Reservior Dogs seems to trump it these days.

(but can't agree it was better than Heat, haven't really seen one to beat that)

 

[Mike Irwin]

I should say that there is one thing that I LOVED about Reservoir Dogs...

Steve Buscemi.

That man is one of the best actors in the world today.

I saw it in frisco when it opened

and think it's one of the greatest films ever.
the "ear scene" when the guy who's cutting
the cops ear got shot,the whole audience
clapped and hollered.
one of the actors in the opening
restaurant scene was a well known bank robber

Lawrence Tierney?

He made a cool Cyrus Redblock!

 

[Monte Harrison]

Harsh.

This is a very harsh movie. The characters are great, the dialog is entirely believable, the acting is teriffic. The action is EXTREMELY bloody and sadistic. Tarrantino's style definitely polished up a bit when he made Pulp Fiction (one of my all-time favorite movies), but you can see where it came from.

RD suffers from being set on one bleak stage, with only a few flashbacks. It could easily be made into a stage play. "Pulp Fiction" is more of a proper movie, and is much better IMHO. For most of RD I was wondering what the point was. It was dull, and the characters were psychotic and annoying. I kept hoping the cops would come in and kill all of them.

 

[Selfdfenz]

I liked both movies very much.
I like all the actors in both movies. The edge goes to PF for the coolness factor.
JMHO

 

[spacemanspiff]

in my opinion, the coolest thing about RD is the soundtrack.

 

[Carlos Cabeza]

I kept hoping the cops would come in and kill all of them.

 

[Moondancer]

For "moveis" I rate them like this.
1. Heat
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. Pulp Fiction
4. Way of the Gun

For "guns" I'd rate them like this.
1. Way of the Gun
2. Heat
3. Tie with RD and PF.

IMNSHO, anyway!

 

[Silent Bob]

"Reservoir Dogs" was highly influenced by a Hong Kong "gun-fu" movie called City on Fire and starring Chow Yun Fat (directed by Ringo Lam, not John Woo in this case), and which QT was a big fan of.

 

[Mike Irwin]

"Lawrence Tierney?"

Well, he certainly wasn't a bank robber. Tierney had been an actor in Hollywood for a long time.

His main claim to fame, though, was as a pretty hard core brawler.

Hey played toughs and brawlers in the movies, and he was one in real life.

Life imitating art.

The bank robber was Eddie Bunker, "Mr. Blue".
