Checkin out Tarantino's feature debut and it blew me away! No wonder he went on to do so many cool movies - you can see his style here from the start in the dialogue, the violence, the music! I really liked this one. Where does this one rank for you in the list of Tarantino's?

So excited for this reaction, RIP Michael Madsen.

Jason Scade

Reservoir Dogs, for me, is only behind Inglourious Basterds and True Romance. The rest of his films follow closely, apart from 'Deathproof', the Kurt Russell stunt driver killer one, not for me (I thought it sucked, tbh). Can't wait to see your reaction to this. 🤩

Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson

When i first watched Death Proof I thought it was pretty bad, but now it's one of my favorites. OBVIOUSLY the fact that I watched the Grindhouse double feature helped a lot.

Kane

Great reaction, few fun tidbits and odds and ends for you (no spoilers)... Yes that was Elaine's dad from Seinfeld, Lawrence Tierney. Michael Madsen plays Vic Vega, according to the lore he is Vincent Vega (Travolta in Pulp Fiction)'s brother. The other 2 Vega brothers are in Dusk Till Dawn, which was written by QT. The straight razor Michael Madsen pulls from his boot for the torture scene is the same exact prop Uma Therman pulls from her boot when she is buried alive in KB2. You're 100% correct on the small cast and small number of shooting locations. QT sold the scripts for True Romance, Dusk Till Dawn, Natural Born Killers and played an Elvis look-a-like on an episode of the Golden Girls to finance this movie (which he kept because it was the cheapest to make. This movie was basically an over-night sensation at film festivals, in hollywood and with an entire generation of young up coming independent film makers (there are thousands of bad QT rip off indie movies in the mid 90s). The buzz and success of this movie allowed QT to make Pulp Fiction and obviously that movie made him an instant A-lister who has been able to do or not do anything he wants for 30+ years.

I love Death Proof! The woods are lovely, dark, and deep. And I have promises to keep. Miles to go before I sleep. Did you hear me, Butterfly? Miles to go before you sleep.

Joe Cabot had a small part in one of the early holodeck TNG episodes. I think he was a mob boss during one of Picard's Noir fantasies.

Jason Scade

Absolutely. 👍👍 I know lots of people like it. It was unengaging for me.

zynjams

hopefully you watch something fun after this one

Sean Jackson

Michael Madsen was such a nice guy in real life, and the cop torture seen really bothered him. He was such a genuine talent it's a shame we lost him. RIP sir.

Jesse

Yes that was Elaine's dad. I think while on the Seinfeld set he frightened some of the other actors and that is part of why he didn't come back

Now Michael Madsen's character is Vic Vega, John Travolta's character in 'Pulp Fiction' is Vincent Vega, there's been debate about whether or not it's the same character or their brothers.

Lee

Given the amount of gunshots outside the warehouse after Mr. Pink flees, it's a safe bet he did not get away and was either killed by the cops or apprehended.

Noremac

Did Jen ever do a Bond ranking?

Kevin Sommerfield

The first time I ever watched this movie it was on a VHS tape. It got to the end, auto-rewound and started over again. I watched it a second time all the way through five minutes after I had seen it the first time. This is the only time I have ever watched a movie twice in a row like that - it really just blew me away.

JPDotCom23

Looks like the only ones left of Tarantino's you haven't seen are 'True Romance', which he wrote but was directed by Tony Scott, and 'The Hateful Eight', starring Kurt Russell and Samuel L. Jackson.

Scaredy-cat

I think you should hold off ranking the Tarantino movies until you've watched Jackie Brown (1997). It's quite high on the voting page and personally I would give it shared top rank along with Inglorious Basterds.

Zapp Rowsdower

Cyrus Redblock was the character's name. Jen also saw him on a Seinfeld episode as Elaine's intimidating dad.

Patrick

Cyrus Redblock is such a good name.

Matt

RIP Michael Madsen

Kristin

Inglorious Basterds is my favorite Tarantino movie.

Opti_Frog

Some days Pulp Fiction is my favourite Tarantino movie, but most days it's Reservoir Dogs. My favourite story from behind the scenes of this one: While on the circuit in 1992 Tarantino met Peter Jackson who released his splatstick zombie epic Braindead the same year. Tarantino told Jackson how his Reservoir Dogs actors complained about the amount of fake blood they had to be covered in, adding: "But you guys made them look like pussies." 😄

Big Tarantino fan. Love all HIS movies. My rank: 1. Inglouriuos Basterds 2. Pulp Fiction 3. Death Proof 4. Kill Bill 1/2 5. Hatefull Eight 6. Django Unchained 7. Reservoir Dogs 8. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 9. Jackie Brown

Jason Scade

Guy Ritchie's 'The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare' (2024) is excellent WWII suicide mission action. Pretty violent! Not as awesome as QT's I.B. But it's highly entertaining and thrilling, as you'd expect from Guy Ritchie. The literal opening 6 minutes, had me on the edge of my seat.

Jason Scade

Watch it in reverse then, a la Red Dwarf 'Backwards' ep. They're returning the diamonds to the place, getting to not know each other over time, Mr. Blonde re-attaches poor cop's ear, etc.

Joel

Correct, if you listen with headphones carefully, you can hear them exchanging gunfire, and then the standoff ending with a few more gunshots just before the officers burst into the warehouse.

Andrew Roach

So three actors from this movie were in Pulp Fiction, can you pick them? I love the scene where Madsen leaves the warehouse where he is torturing the cop to go get the can of gasoline from his car and then returns. It is a beautiful day, I think kids can be heard playing in the background and yet just behind that warehouse door true horror is happening. It makes me think that such horror can be happening in any house or store you pass by and just never know...

My rank of Tarantino movies: 1. Pulp Fiction (1994) [AFI Top 100] 2. Jackie Brown (1997) 3. Django Unchained (2012) 4. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) 5. Inglourious Basterds (2009) 6. Reservoir Dogs (1992) 7. Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004) 8. Hatefull Eight 9. Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)

Clay F

Jackie Brown (1997) is my second favorite Tarantino film after Pulp Fiction.

Matt

Death Proof?

Clay F

I have only seen bits and pieces, not the entire movie.

Jason Scade

Finally managed to sit down and enjoy. :D Excellent reaction, very exciting, Miss Purple! Just like the movie. So happy you enjoyed as much as you did. I've just noticed I added this to your request site, in Aug 2023. Thank you, everyone who upvoted. ♥ This film was beyond ultra-cool in 1992. The major cinema chains wouldn't pick it up as it was considered too violent and controversial (police torture/murder, the copious quantities of claret). A tiny independent cinema in Glasgow, the Glasgow Film Theatre, picked it up. They were the first cinema in Scotland to show it and it was a *massive* success and ticket-seller, and after many weeks of the G.F.T. raking in tons of cash, and the film getting stories and articles in newspapers, the main cinemas picked it up (possibly in 1993) and it became a huge hit, especially for an unknown director's debut film. I was able to buy the American laserdisc release of it, way back in 1992 - before it was even in any big cinemas. It sold by the truckload! No dogs were harmed during the making of this film. 🐶🦴❤ Trivia that others may have commented about.. In a scene in Reservoir Dogs, the boss, Joe Cabot, relates to the surviving gang that an absent member is "as dead as Dillinger". Doubtless, a QT written Easter egg reference, as Lawrence Tierney's (Cabot) breakthrough role was playing the doomed 1930s bank robber, Dillinger, in a big 1945 released movie. The character Michael Madsen plays (Mr. Blonde / Vic Vega), in the QT movie-universe, is brother of hitman/goon Vincent Vega (Travolta) in Pulp Fiction. Tarantino has previously said that he thought about ideas for making a film about the Vega brothers, but it never materialized. And after so many years had past, the age of the actors and other factors made it unfeasible. He has also mentioned a young Vega brothers movie idea, with different actors playing them (obv). But again, lost in time. He has about 1000 movie ideas a year. 😅 In Reservoir Dogs, when Mr. Blonde (Madsen) meets boss Joe Cabot (Tierney) in his office, during the flashback scene.. Mr. Blonde mentions his parole officer is a ballbuster called Seymour Scagnetti. This character's brother, Detective Jack Scagnetti, appears in the QT written and Oliver Stone directed movie 'Natural Born Killers' (1994), and is played by Tom Sizemore. N.B.K. is brutal, btw. Well made but really disturbing. Big names in the cast. Two (insane) lovers-on-the-run become spree killing media darlings with a rabid fanbase within the general pop. Further btw, Reservoir Dogs is not a remake of, but it was massively inspired by a Chinese cinema action/drama called City on Fire (1987). Directed by Ringo Lam. Stars Chow Yun-fat. If you ever get into HK cinema, then John Woo and Ringo Lam are go-to directors. And Chow Yun-fat is your go-to Chinese 90s action superstar, he's very into using two guns at the same time. Makes for awesome action. Big shout out for True Romance. QT. Tony Scott. Hans Zimmer. A cavalcade of unforgettable A-lister star cameos and performances. You have the CD soundtrack already. It's a top voted Jen request lister. You know you want to. 😋 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bayyRPSXGq0 "Stealing. Cheating. Killing.

Ops, I forgot about QT, so there is a fourth...
