Reservoir Dogs (1992) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Deathproof is cringe

Sutil

His absolute worst film

Sutil

Perhaps ... but he is still a great director... he writes like no one else... but also shoots and edits like a mofo... truly unique... I'm not a fan of all of his films... deathproof, hateful 8 I did not like.... and his style kinda changed after kill bill to the whole historical stuff ... which I'm not that big of a fan of... but he's still an important director and I hope he can come up with another masterpiece ... like kill bill or pulp fiction... if I have to rank his films ... I would say the best are 1. Pulp Fiction 2. Kill Bill Vol.1 and 2 3. Reservoir Dogs 4. Inglorious Basterds 5. Django Unchained 6. Once upon a time in hollywood 7. Jackie Brown 8. Hateful 8 9.. Deathproof

Sutil

Also I want to mention Tarantino never went to film school or anything and this was his first film... he wanted to be an actor but went for screenwriting... just a genius...

Sutil

This was an independent film... there was no studio behind it or anything... it was a hit in the festival circuit and was bought for distribution... just an amazing movie especially when it came out.... it was the first film I saw that all the protagonist die... it was very original...

Sutil

Lol, ok, sure. I'm nearly 40 guys and I just don't like explicit sex talk between guys. I wasn't offended, I just find it weird and gross. Why do guys like you always think it's about being "woke"? I swear the anti-woke crowd are more obsessed with what's woke and what's not than the "SJW" crowd.

Jeffrey Miller

It's kind of amazing that this is Tarantino's first movie. While yes, the budget is low, between the script and the technical prowess, he really seems to have come fully-formed. Such a great movie, and I had a great time watching with the two of you for the your first viewings. I'm watching this right before you release your True Romance reaction, and I cannot wait to watch your reaction to that.

Gary Giaimo

Pulp Fiction.

Alex

True Romance one of my faves. Written by Quentin.

Jonathan Patrick

Damn, didn't hear them mention it. Oh well, I'm sure Sam's reactions to Kill Bill vol. 1 and 2 will be legendary! 🤗

Victor Fiegel

I heard he was not so happy about Tony Scott's (Ridley Scott's brother btw) changing of his script on True Romance, at first, but compared to what Oliver Stone did to his NBK script (but a Stone experiment)... I include it as a Tarantino work anyway, as twisted and mutated as it is, it still has some Tarantino elements. He likes Bonnie and Clyde couples and has an affinity for certain names 😉... Vega, Scagnetti, Marvin, Marcellus, Alabama, .... I actually like Natural Born Killers, but not for nothing it forced Tarantino to never again sell his scripts. And that's why Reservoir Dogs was made!

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

With the current state of the world right now I can’t think of a more timely first time reaction to anything else but WARGAMES.

Jackie Brown's my favourite too. Based on a great book and my favourite cast in a Tarantino film.

Future Boy

The Hateful Eight character is the great-great grandfather of Michael Fassbender's Inglorious Basterds character, Archie Hicox.

Donna Castellano

I think they said they both saw Inglorious Basterds. There aren't many they haven't seen between the two of them. Sam hasn't seen the Kill Bill films and he has. It sounds like, outside of those, neither have seen Jackie Brown, The Hateful Eight, Death Proof and Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

Donna Castellano

Inglourious Bastards is easily my favorite Tarantino film. Hope that it gets a chance on the poll. Watched it in the theater 6 times. Kept taking different friends and family members to see it. I do believe it is his "masterpiece."

Victor Fiegel

I remember buying the DVD for this and each copy was a different colour. I got Orange. There seemed to be a ton of Orange and Brown leftover.

Mark M

I'd never really considered the concept that Tarantino directed this on a smaller budget. His style is so distinct and intentional that i feel he would have done this exactly the same way even with a larger budget.

Braden Derksen

I think Quentin Tarantino is a better writer than a director. He wrote True Romance and Natural Born Killers. He also wrote and acted in 2 Robert Rodriguez films, Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn.

Paul Schmitt

Has to be one of the most assured directorial debuts. Almost all of Tarantino’s style and obsessions are already present. The slurs are off-putting to some modern viewers, but that’s the point: This is a movie about criminal scumbags! (Also, If you listen closely at the end, you can hear Mr. Pink surrendering. “I’m shot god damn it!” Of course he’s staring at life in prison being the only one left to answer for anything.)

Jim Barnes

Death Proof. That is all I have to say.

PIG

You'll never be able to listen to "Stuck In The Middle With You" the same way again.

Jeff Mills

If you react to Death Proof it will add to your unofficial Kurt Russel journey

Ken Veader

Brandon Likes Movies has reactions for them

Jason Dolan

especially Death Proof and Jackie Brown, hardly any reactions to those two Tarantino films out there. Everyone seems to focus on his later films or Kill Bill

Ken Veader

Hey I need to recommend Tarantino's Jackie Brown and Death Proof. His two most underrated(and under reacted to) movies

Ken Veader

Fair point, but you still can feel QT's fingerprints on this movie, and just for them to see Robert Downey Jr's performance alone is worth the watch.

Jason Dolan

Natural Born Killers' movie version was rewritten, changed completely by director Oliver Stone and Tarantino wants nothing to do with that film. QT only takes credit for coming up with the story....everything else is Stone's vision.

Joe Lazarus

Except for "Natural Born Killers" which the movie version has been rewritten and changed by Oliver Stone and QT wants nothing to do with it!!!

Joe Lazarus

One correction... QT himself have said countless of times that he doesn't take writing credit for Oliver Stone's "Natural Born Killers" movie version since it's totally different from QT's original script version. However, he does approve of Tony Scott's True Romance which was very much like QT's original script!!!

Joe Lazarus

It's just that we live in an era where young ppl today are afraid to talk about "random" topics because it makes the feel "awkward" or "cringeful" SMH If there's one thing I miss about the past is most ppl having the social ability of just letting loose to converse about fun, random topics without worrying about what others might think or say. Sad...

Joe Lazarus

Jackie Brown is my favorite of his movies. It's a great story from a fantastic Elmore Leonard novel. Plus it has a ton of recognizable and really fine actors.

Mike Tocci

You guys should definitely do the rest of Tarantino. Maybe do the ones you both haven't seen first?

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

Great reaction, as always. Not the biggest Tarantino fan, but Reservoir Dogs is probably the one I like best, at least as far as films he's directed. If you include movies he's written, I like True Romance the most.

Joel P

Yeah, I recognized the Drexl line "Diddle eyed Joe or damned if I know." I remembered it from True Romance, but I didn't realize Tarantino used here as well.

Joel P

I am not so sure, it looked like she was shot in her upper right shoulder to stop her from firing more shots. I guess it could be left up to interpretation because the audience doesn't get to find out if she survived or not. I personally would like to believe the shot was not fatal because it didn't look centered to me, it looked like a shoulder shot.

Terry Lee

I love Harvey Keitel in this Movie !!! You have to put "Head Above Water" from 1996 on your Watchlist !! A very Dark Comedy with Cameron Diaz and Billy Zane ... Another Classic with harvey Keitel is "Thelma & Louise" from 1991 ... Incredible Performance from Geena Davies and Susan Sarandon !!!

Florian Meier

"K. Billy's Super Sounds of The 70's" to me, is a clear Easter egg for later in his career going to make a movie called "Kill Bill" Also Mr. Pink posed a very good anti-tipping point, and then he also plays a waiter in Pulp Fiction.. lol Tarantino HAD to have done that on purpose!

Mister Lou

Seconding Jackie Brown, 100% must see

Sarah

I would suggest after watching the first 8 of Tarantino's catalog, to watch QT8: The First Eight, it's a documentary made about what it took and behind the scenes on those movies. If you've never seen Natural Born Killers, written but not directed by Quentin, there is a character named Jack Scagnetti. Vic Vega (Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction's brother) had a parole officer named Scagnetti. One of the characters from Hateful Eight is related to one of the characters from Inglorious Basterds, his great grandfather if I remember correctly. Since y'all will be watching Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 at some point, remember the razor Vic used to cut off the cops ear? It's used to cut something in Kill Bill Vol 2. There's a huge rabbit hole you can actually go down looking for the connections between the movies he wrote and directed. Number 10 will indeed be his final film according to him still, I saw that's bull because Kill Bill was supposed to be one 5 hour movie, so I say he owes 2 more instead of 1.

vicious tyler

I think Mr. Orange intentionally shot the civilian in the shoulder to make sure she survived because as a cop he was concerned Mr. White would definitely kill her

Terry Lee

My advice with Tarantino is to go chronological as you fill in your gaps: True Romance (writer) Natural Born Killers (writer) From Dusk Til Dawn (writer) Jackie Brown Kill Bill Death Proof The Hateful Eight Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in that order - you'll experience his growth as you do that progression, the same as we went through it

Jason Dolan

It's Tarantino's first movie as a director, but not his first movie (IMO), I count the first scripts he sold before this, "True Romance" and "Natural Born Killers". This is still one of my favorites from him (I used to have a black and white poster of Mr. Pink on the floor and Mr. White and him pointing guns at each other just before Blonde enters the frame), it's like watching a play, and it sets a lot of precedents you see in later Tarantino movies, the dialogue of course, and his penchant for Mexican standoffs, also, he uses a lot of the same names in his work. He's said that in his mind these characters do exist in a sort of cinematic universe, he mentions a character named Alabama (one of the main characters in True Romance is named Alabama, although I'm not sure if she's supposed to be the same character), and of course Mr. Blonde is Vic Vega, brother of Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction. Man I can't wait for you guys to watch more Tarantino, I was late to jump on the "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" train but I love that movie, it's high in my ranking from him, super original movie.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

My personal favorite Tarantino movie! There are so many great camera shots, so many great lines, and such great storyline sequencing! I don't think there was a single actor in this film that did a poor job. They were all terrific! How about that Mr Blonde scene with the ear, eh Sam? ;)

Scott Kerr

Sam's Hot Car Lot!

Jason Dolan

Jackie Brown! We need more female lead character movies for Sam. And it's a crime movie.

Ellie Miller

I like this movie, but looking back, that whole thing about Madonna at the start is kinda cringe.

Jeffrey Miller

How long before someone brings up City of Fire and claims its better because it came out years before. ohhhh!

Charlie Keeler

Perks of being a latchkey gen xer, Iwatched so much that would be deemed super inappropriate now. This holds a special place for me, this was the first sort of out of the traditional Hollywood system I watched. At 14 in 1992 this was such a breath of fresh air.

Charlie Keeler

So stoked for this reaction. Reservoir Dogs was my favorite movie through key much all of college.
