Reservoir Dogs

• The part of Mr Blonde was originally intended for Dennis Nordern
• Thom Yorke was turned down for the role of the cop.
• Steve Buscemi's favourite colour is pink. In every film he is in the colour pink is associated with his character in some way. For example, in Fargo (1997) his ears are pink, and in Ghost World (2001) he is seen passing a person wearing pink.
• The black suits are a homage to Men In Black, which hadn't been made yet.
• The opening speech was originally about "Strawberry Fields Forever"
• Quentin Tarantino's original script was an animated adventure about dogs who lived by a reservoir. The script soon evolved, however, because talking dogs would be stupid.
• Tim Roth is only pretending to do an American accent! Really he's english!
• The blood used was actually red chocolate sauce.
• Directors cameo: The bits with Mr Brown in
• Director's trademark: The bits with Quentin Tarantino in.
• Sales of fake ears doubled after the film came out
• Reservoir Dogs is actually cockney rhyming slang for Shooting Elephants.
• The final scene is directly lifted from The Little Mermaid
• The original cut of the film ran to just 5 minutes. The entire rest of the film had to be hastily rewritten and re-edited.
• Nice Guy Eddie is shot by... he's not really shot, its just a special effect. People are rarely shot in real life in films because its too expensive to replace the actors or their shirts.
• The idea for having names based on colours came from Quentin Tarantino looking at some colours one day.
