The scene with Mr. Blonde(I think it was Mr. Blonde) and the cop tied to the chair is one of the most disturbing scenes ever. Ouch.

ah yes..........Mr. Vic Vega..........great scene. After I watch that I can't get that song out of my head..........I walk around all day mumbling "stuck in the middle with you"............
One of the most horrifying things in that scene go un-noticed by alot of people. Yeah....everybody winces at him cutting his ear off....slicing him up and whatnot.....but most people don't even think anything of it when he pours gasoline over his open wounds. That would be the most painfull part of the scene.
I love that movie. my favorite scene is the first one when quentin tells the "like a virgin"story. Also, the scene when Tim Roth was in the car and Harvey Keitel is trying to console him.
MR. WHITE: Give me this f*cking thing.
JOE: What the f*ck do you think you're doin? Give me my book back!
MR. WHITE: I'm sick of f*ckin hearin it Joe, I'll give it back when we leave.
JOE: Whaddaya mean, give it to me when we leave, give it back now.
MR. WHITE: For the past fifteen minutes now, you've just been droning on with names. "Toby...Toby...Toby... Toby Wong... Toby Wong... Toby Chung... f*ckin Charlie Chan." I got Madonna's big d*ck outta my right ear, and Toby Jap I-don't- know-what, outta my left.
JOE: What do you care?
MR. WHITE: When you're annoying as hell, I care a lot.
JOE: Give me my book.
MR. WHITE: You gonna put it away?
JOE: I'm gonna do whatever I wanna do with it.
MR. WHITE: Well, then, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to keep it.
MR. BLONDE: Joe, you want me to shoot him for you?
MR. WHITE: Sh*t, you shoot me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize.

I saw the movie early this year after I saw Pulp Fiction for the first time, I was getting into Tarantino movies. I've always had a problem with wincing when everybody else does during movies. Things don't freak me out as much as much as they do other people.

I love Reservoir dogs, prolly one of my most favorite movies.
tho I never got affected by the "violence" or "cruelty" in that movie
I can think of a lot more violence and even more cruelty

I saw a censored version on A&E last week, and I do agree that the torture scene was something else, and for me personally, I was taken by the song - it was one of my late father's favourites, and he'd often sing it.
-Do you guys think Mr. Pink got away? The movie leaves speculation open to whether he was caught by the waiting police or not.
I personally like to think he did get away. He shot his way out of the bank surrounded by police, why not the warehouse too? Plus, I like Mr. Pink.......out of all the main characters, he's the only "professional" criminal who follows the rules. He doesn't over-react, he doesn't get emotionally involved, he doesn't lose control........and for this he is the sole survivor and keeps all the loot.
-Do you think it matters at all the the movie ends in a major flaw........with nobody actually shooting Nice Guy Eddie? Bullets hit him and he falls to the ground........but no gun was aimed at him. Mr. White got one shot off and it took out Joe.
I don't think it matters........great movie. We get the idea.
-Is the commentary track for Reservoir Dogs the worst ever?
I must say it is. It isn't a real commentary. It doesn't follow the movie, it's just random interviews done with people involved in the movie. On top of that.......too many people we don't care about. Of those on the commentary track, they should have only used Roth, Madsen and Tarantino.
-Ever notice in the movie that they keep referring to the heist as a five man job........and even Joe says talks about there only being five during the naming speech......yet there are six. Mr. : Blonde, Blue, White, Pink, Brown and Orange.

yeah i wondered that about Mr. Pink too. He kicks ass.
I also like how they handled the bill at the diner. Now anytime that i pick up the bill for my friends or family...i make them all pitch in for the tip. But usually my friends don't ***** about waitresses already earning a decent living.

I don't think Mr. Pink got away because when you listen closely to last scene. You hear police sirens for far away, and there is a chance that Mr. Pink try to get on Mr. Blonde car to get away, and thus got busted inside the car. He had a gun with him when he left the warehouse so there is also a chance that he shot his way out the car too. I have to see that scene again just to make sure.
