Reservoir Dogs

Not my favorite Tarantino, but definitely a good movie. He definitely lives up to his violent nature and quirky twists. I'd have liked a little more background on each of the characters. I like that Tarantino's actually in this one. He plays Mr. Brown who dies early. And he's the lucky one. As much as I love him, I'm not exactly sure what Tarantino wanted to accomplish with this film. I didn't go away feeling anything but overwhelming waves of "damnnnn."

When Scenes

Jackson auditioned for the role of Mr. Orange. Once Tim Roth was cast, Quentin Tarantino originally wanted him to play Mr. Blonde or Mr. Pink.

The warehouse where the majority of the movie takes place was once a mortuary, and thus is full of coffins. Mr. Blonde doesn't sit down on a crate, it's actually an old hearse he perches on.

Tarantino's mother loved the cop torture scene.
