Reservoir dogs

[CANofKAM]

i just watched reservoir dogs and it was an amazing movie only it left more question then it gave answers.

WARNING: SPOILERS

At the end of the movie, the camera zooms out before it shows if Mr.White shoots Mr.orange or not so what do you all think? Also did Mr.Pink get shot when he walked outside or did he get away?

 

[DefunctTheory]

Spoiler: REAL SPOILERS

Mr. Pink gets away. He's the only one who acts professional, so its actually almost a... moral movie for thieves.

As for White shooting Orange... yah, he does.

it would be if you didn't see the movie cranky

Spoiler

im pretty sure pink gets caught by the cops when he runs out, im sure thats what was supposed to be impled anyway, i could be wrong.

did i do the spoiler tag right?

 

[CANofKAM]

i don't know what your all trying to say by spoilers but I'm just trying not to ruin the movie for those who didn't see it.

 

[Jamboxdotcom]

you can do a spoilers tag, which hides spoilers until someone clicks on them like so [spoilerx] (without the x) [/spoilerx]

it looks like this:

Spoiler

also, Mr. White shoots himself AND Mr. Orange at the same time.

That you can use spoiler tags, i.e. [spoiler]Text goes here.[/spoiler]

did i do the spoiler tag right?

No.

And as regards the ending, I like the fact that there are no definitive answers; it's part of what makes the movie great.

 

[Zepren]

I would say there is no right or wrong answer here. Tarantino leaves it up the the viewer to truly decided the fate of the characters.

It's universely accepted, however, that Mr.White shot Mr.Orange. Mr.Pink's fate is always debated. I like to think he got away; though the gap between him leaving and the sirens is quite short but I think if he had been arrested you would have heard the commotion.

Aside from these tutorials; I like that movies can leave stuff open-ended like that (not those open-enders that are just a mind-crushingly annoying ways to make room for sequels). Then it's up to you to pick up to clues, if some are left, or use your own imagination/interpretation in regards of what did/will happen. Good movies make you think.

As for Reservoir Dogs, it's been such a long time since I last saw the movie, that I can't remember such specifics. All I do remember is that it's an awesome movie.

No, I was just using spoiler tags, because its safer to those who haven't seen the movie.

Much more than capitalized text a quarter inch away from from the spoiler.

if you've played the ps2 version of the game, there are 3 endings for Mr. Pink, depending on the rating you carried and reached the end of the game with... he either gets away, as he spills the bag of diamonds and happens to duck out of site to pick them up just as the cops are arriving... you turn yourself in outside to the police, as to not get shot... or you pretend to surrender, but pull a gun and consequentially get mowed down by gunfire... another neat thing is that the purpose of the game is to let you play all of the other plot elements that were only referenced in dialogue, such as dumping the cars after the heist, Mr. Pink initially hiding the stash in the train yard, escaping the jewelery store as well... my favorite level was playing as Mr. Blonde, shooting my way through a mall, only to find the cop that was taken hostage on top of the parking garage, only to shove him into your trunk and bring him to the warehouse for the ear slicing scene... understood that you were talking about the movie, but it's a lotta fun and fills in a crapload of holes in the story...

 

[JWRosser]

Yeah, like it's been said, what happens to Mr Pink is in constant debate. Coincidently my friends and I were discussing it at the pub the other night.

Spoiler

he claims that you can hear sirens at the end as Mr Pink escapes...but I swear you can't. I think he gets away.

It's a fantastic film. Everyone should watch. Tarantino is one of my favourite directors...I just love how he works phatic conversation into it, like the whole scene in the cafe at the beginning. Brilliant. I'm thinking of doing that scene for my directing piece next year at uni...

@JWRosser

i dunno how to do the spoiler hidey thingy... but your friend did hear correctly.... sirens. profanity. gunshot. profanity... but nothing conclusive as to the outcome.

As for White shooting Orange... yah, he does.

Spoiler: Mr. Pink

Mr. Pink doesn't get away actually.

While Mr. White holds Mr. Orange, you can hear the sirens of the cop cars approaching. A small shootout is then heard and you can hear a few bullets being fired. You then hearing a ton of shouting from the cops, most of it sounding as though they're telling someone to "Get on the fucking ground!", or something similiar.

This means that Mr. Pink left the warehouse, but didn't escape. The cops were right around the corner waiting until Joe showed up, and after they heard the gunfire they stormed in, right as Pink escaped. His window of opportunity for leaving would only have been a few seconds, and the cops would have been everywhere by that point, so he would have certainly been seen, and a man walking around in a suit like that, would have been stopped.

Just be sure to turn the sound up a lot to hear it. It's misable if you're watching it normally. The reason I know is because I actually have it on my iTunes, and so I can watch it whenever I want on the computer or on my iPod, and have the sound turned up loud enough to hear it.

I stand corrected.

I still think he got away. It's almost two minutes from Pink leaving to the gun shots... it could have easily all been Pink just randomly shooting as he ran for the hills.

But this certainly means I'm not as certain as I was before.

Yes but he did manage to run away from 6 cops before and he's not afraid to use a gun.
