Well Mr. Blonde did kill a bunch of innocent people and shrugged it off like it’s nothing. “What you’re supposed to do, is act like a fuckin’ professional. A psychopath ain’t a professional. You can’t work with a psychopath, ‘cause you don’t know what those assholes are gonna do next.”
I love how nothing goes right for Mr. Orange (the undercover cop). 99% of movies would have the cop, the good guy, come out on top, but this movie had the balls not to. He’s shot, bleeding out, and the holes in his story about Mr. Blonde are obvious because like he said- he did 4 years in prison for them. He had no reason to turn on them. Great writing
If you think about it, if Freddie (Mr. Orange) never went undercover and the cops never went to the bank to set up beforehand, all those innocent people/cops/Freddie wouldn't have died. If they just let the guys rob the bank and get away and maybe get them at a later time, probably like 20-30 people wouldn't have died lol.
Trailer Man I always took him saying that as when word spread that John Dillinger was killed people didn’t really know if they should believe it or not until the pic of him on the slab started circulating, hence “mr. blues dead”?…”dead as Dillinger” as if he was telling pink he saw it with his own eyes…JMO
The growl of sadness by Harvey Keitel when he gets to know the man who he trusted and protected all along to the verge of dying for him turned out to be cop was the most sincere emotion. This movie is a true masterpiece.....PERFECT in every aspect of movie-making
It’s not perfect. It’s certainly a good movie. But it’s incredibly dialogue heavy, to the point it gets exhausting. It needed more restraint. They also never explain why Kietel’s character has such a bond with Orange. It’s baffling. 7/10 film, which is still quite good
@@ericfelds6291 While it doesn't flat out explain it, It's heavily implied that they're in a romantic relationship. There's homoerotic undertones in basically every scene they're in together (particularly the opening car ride scene).
And Orange didn't know that Blonde, Eddy and Joe had a long history together. He thought that all of them were just unknown criminals with no previous history together.
Agreed. Blonde and White had a history together with the Cabots, which completely rules them both out as the rat. Same goes for Pink; the self-proclaimed "professional" who just wants to get the job done for a quick buck. Ultimately, it was narrowed down to just Orange, Blue, and Brown. With both Brown and Blue dead and dead men tell no tales, the only viable candidate to be the rat was Orange. And the Cabots turned out to be right. Very clever thinking and writing, if you ask me.
It's as Joe boldly stated in the movie, "You don't need proof when you have instincts!". I 100% agree with this and it something that you just have to innately have if you're going to be in that business. And that goes for both highly successful criminals AND highly successful (*ethical*) law agents pursuing them.
Contrary to what you believe, out of the whole crew, mr white is the most unprofessional one here. Everyone else was just unfortunate while pink had a clear head.
If you hear closely at 6:50 you can hear a cop in the background shouting " Get out of the car, put your hands in the air " Which is a sign of Mr. Pink getting arrested. Man every time I find these details my love for Tarantino keeps multiplying.
Just got my 2nd copy in Blue and extended rare uncut Sin City Blue Ray. Absolutely fav scene. Wish Blonde would have stayed through this entire scene 🎬.
Legend has it Mr. Pink got arrested outside while trying to escape with the diamonds. A few years into serving his prison sentence Mr Pink was lucky enough to get paroled. Conditions of his parole included him having to get employment. But, with papa Joe dead (Mr Pink’s crime boss lead since Mr. Pink was a young teen) and with Papa Joe’s son, “Nice Guy” Eddie, being dead as well, Mr. Pink had to get a legit job as opposed to working for Joe and Eddie. Turns out the only place that would give Mr. Pink a job, while he was on parole was a hip little nostalgic-themed restaurant known as Jack Rabbit Slims. The only position Mr. Pink could get at Jack Rabbit Slims was as a server and as a server, Mr. Pink relied on tips from the customers he served to make a living. The same job Mr. Pink was against tipping for at the beginning of “Reservoir Dogs”. It is why he seemed to hate his job and why he wasn’t friendly at all when he was serving Vincent Vega and Mia Wallace.
To think they were having breakfast together whilst having a laugh, then 90 minutes later they're having a Mexican standoff against each other which ends up with them all dead. Incredible.
I just noticed that right after Eddie shoots the cop dead, you can faintly hear Mr. Orange saying "no." This may have given Eddie a hint that Orange was the undercover cop.
Should've just said ya...it's a bag full of fucking diamonds. He's a fucking theif. THAT'S WHAT THIEVES DO. I'M CURRENTLY FUCKING BLEEDING TO DEATH. DO YOU THINK I GIVE A SHIT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER RIGHT NOW? Haha
There is a little amount of gore in this movie compared to tarantino's others, but it's so effective and makes for a fantastic, indipendent first movie
@@Seven_Leaf this is exactly why I loved Once Upon a time in Hollywood so much. He didn't go full Tarantino until the very end and the violence served a wonderful, gory, vengeful, and satisfying purpose.
Mr. Pink may have been arrested in the end, since it’s heavily implied. But I’ll give him this: he was the ONLY one who made it out alive because he was a professional.
I finally figured out how everyone got shot in this scene. The dad shot the cop, nice guy Eddie shot Mr. White, and Mr. White shot the dad and then nice guy Eddie. It was quick but you can hear and see both shots from his gun.
Nice Guy Eddie's blood effect device got triggered earlier than it was supposed to leading him to act earlier than he was supposed to thats why that sce is confusing
Tarantino actually explained nobody shot Eddie. The blood bag went off early and he rolled with the scene. Tarantino kept it because he knew it would be controversial. Sort of his subliminal way of messing with viewers who try to overanalyze things rather than just enjoying the natural flow. You would ruined the VHS tape back then trying to figure this scene out!
I absolutely love when Mr. Orange details why he killed Mr. Blonde. It is so idiotic, he assumed that these career criminals would be fine with the death of a loyal and effective member of their crew, if it meant some pig that was trying to arrest all of ‘em gets to live. I absolutely adore how Nice Guy Eddie says “oh you mean this guy” and nonchalantly fills him with lead.
You have to remember that there is no loyalty here beyond the fact that the cop is a cop and the others are co-workers. Or at least there is but they aren't supposed to know it. The crew isn't supposed to know anything about each other that information is gatekept by Joe and Nice Guy Eddie. His story MAY (and I stress MAY) have flown except for the fact that Blonde has a long established history of loyalty with Joe and Eddie. Orange didn't just suddenly think they were stupid he was compelled to save the cop because he's an undercover and then had to make lemonade out of the lemons he found himself with. Honestly his whole story was predicated on the idea that Blonde went crazy and he should have focused on that. He actually over thought it and made his story less believable by saying Blonde was going to make off with the diamonds. The movie explicitly says in an earlier scene that ice (diamonds) are particularly hard to move as even White who is a career criminal in his at least forties doesn't know anyone that can move it. The idea that Blonde would know someone who could and furthermore that it somehow wouldn't get back to Eddie and Joe is quite a bit unbelievable. He was also counting on White backing him up as he had White fingered from the very start and Orange being shot in front of him sealed the deal. The story was his best shot with what he knew. He unfortunately stepped right into it. Love this fucking movie.
@@antoniocaputo8646 When you steal something it is what's called a "hot item" which is an item of worth that has reasonable suspicion of having been recently stolen. Hot items then have to be re-sold or "moved" if you want to make a cash profit. Usually this means going to what thieves call a "fence" which is a merchant that is known on the street to deal in stolen AKA "hot" items. The reason for this is because typically the more exotic the item the easier it is track and dealing in stolen items is illegal in the U.S.. So a fence is someone that is both crafty and able enough to re sell a hot item as well as willing to take a risk by dealing in said stolen items. If I remember correctly the diamonds in Reservoir Dogs are specifically "uncut stones" which are diamonds that have yet to be cut and polished into their final state making them even easier to track down. In an earlier scene Mr. White is asking Joe if he knows anyone (this being a "fence") that knows how to sell stolen diamonds (an extremely exotic item which in street slang is called "ice") reliably and make a profit with at least relative safety of the "fence" not being caught which would possibly endanger the entire gang of thieves or "crew" that stole them. He asks this in slang by asking if Joe knows anyone who can "move ice" AKA "fence diamonds". He's asking this because Mr. White (a career criminal who has presumably known many fences throughout his life) personally does not know of any fences that are able or at least willing to try to move stolen diamonds AKA ice. This is due to them being an extremely high risk item because of their worth and how exotic they are which makes them easy to trace. Joe says they have people "just waiting for it" and that the cut is "juicy" meaning yes he knows a fence willing and able to safely re-sell them and yes it is a profitable venture. So short explanation after a long one is that "moving diamonds" or "moving ice" is a slang term for safely re-selling stolen diamonds for a profit.
@@jackcoleman1784 Blonde and Eddie absolutely have loyalty. He mentions he did years in prison for his dad, and all he had to do to get out was snitch, which he didn’t do. Mr. Blonde was the most respected and loyal of the group. Whites an idiot and him defending Orange, a literal stranger, to the death makes no sense.
Chris' Nice Guy Eddy is one of the greatest performances of all time. The way It oscillates between playfulness and unspeakable meaness is, if possible, even more unforgettable then Pesci's Tommy de Simone
In a lot of respects he's just a big kid. The obscenities he speaks in front of his father when he's horse-playing with Vic shows shows how immature he can be. And yet he has a fine criminal mind which allows him to rationalise when under pressure. He's a complex character. Brilliantly brought to life by Chris Penn.
I like how Nice Guy Eddie immediately did not buy Orange's lie about Mr Blonde. Like Mr White, Mr Blonde has a history together with the Cabots, which completely rules both Blonde and White out as the rat. Same goes for Pink; the self-proclaimed "professional" who just wants to get the job done for a quick buck. Ultimately, it was narrowed down to just Orange, Blue, and Brown. With both Brown and Blue dead and dead men tell no tales, the only viable candidate to be the rat was Orange. And the Cabots turned out to be very right. Very clever thinking and writing, if you ask me.
Yeah I thought that was odd. When I was 11 I got into an accident on my bike and lost a good amount of blood. You would not believe how thirsty you get when bleeding badly. You crave sugary water, and apparently that's your body trying to get more fluid and more energy to replace what's been lost. I imagine in this scenario that no matter how thirsty you are, a gut shot is going to be so painful that thought of consuming anything is a no go.
@mr white They each fired twice. Joe shot Orange and got off a shot in White's direction as he's falling. White shot Eddie and Joe once each... and Eddie shot White twice.
@1stblade Nobody ever shot Eddie. It was supposed to happen BUT his blood bag went off early and the scene was kept to omit some controversy. Considering at the same we were using VHS, you would have damaged the tape by rewinding this scene so many times trying to figure it out
Good question, not sure. Did you know: Mr. Orange's amount of blood loss was kept consistent and realistic to that of a real gunshot victim. At several points, Tim Roth had lain in the pool of fake blood for so long that the blood dried out and he had to be peeled off the floor, which took several minutes.
@@BusterCherry1 He didn’t live to the end of the movie. When Orange admitted he was a cop, Larry, aka Mr. White, points the gun at his face. A split second before Mr. White is shot to Swiss cheese and the screen goes black, you hear a gunshot. It’s Mr. White killing Mr. Orange.
What I don't understand is why Mr Orange admitted he was a cop. As he was undercover if he had kept his mouth shut. He might have lived!! It is still a great film 😊
Tarantino once answered this in an interview Orange tells Mr. White, who has acted as his protector throughout the film, the truth because he feels that he owes it to him as a matter of honor. Tarantino actually described it as something beyond honor, best summed up by the Japanese word "jingi" that has no English equivalent.
Remorse, also what's called the Stockholm Syndrome. He had started to connect with White even through he was a cop. If you research what undercover cops go through mentally, they can sometimes start becoming friends with the targets of operations and regret what happens, feeling like they've betrayed people in some instances they've befriended. Probably with Orange it was a feeling of betrayal with White after White had steadfastly defended him.
that wouldn't make sense. and orange doesn't know blonde and eddie relationship anyway. best bet is "he's gonna set the place ablaze, and he wouldn't stop when i begged him" or something like that
@@Arch3an why would he want payback if he gladly went to jail instead of screwing them over and when they were going to make it up to him with this job
@@paulrhyslloyd1 if you would read carefully, you would understand that pink was talking about driving off with the diamonds directly after the hist, not after every one is fuckin dead
The million dollar question is how did Orange live being shot once, needed the emergency room already and mass loss of blood then gets shot again and lives. What should have happened is Pink shoild have shot Cabot first.
You can be shot quite a few times and live. A gut shut can take days to kill you if left untreated. The second shot could have been in the lower body. Soft tissue pass-through. Any number of scenarios.
Vincent Van Gogh shot himself in the middle of a field and it took 30 hours to die. If the movie didn't contain flashbacks it would appear as Mr Orange dying in like 45 minutes.
I thought this movie would be easy for me to watch as we would be watching this from the robber's perspective but mr. Blonde was a great addition as his psychotic antics made it very hard to root for him, especially when the guy he was torturing said he had a son, so it made it hard for me to put him in the "robbers" side as a good guy. But then mr. Orange flipped everything on its head as I was sympathizing with him hard especially after seeing him act out the scene he was supposed to seek to joe. By the end, everything was a messy blur of mr. Grey shades and found my point of view on the events greatly challenged. Thank tarantino for this incredible piece of art. Thank you, tarantino for showing me the grey areas of the world.
After Mr Pink leaves the building you can hear him throw the suitcase in the trunk and enter the car. Followed after that you can hear him frantically trying to start up the car
Quentin Tarantino has been accused of glamorizing crime and violence. He doesn't here. I didn't want to become a criminal after seeing this. God, what a brutal finale.
people don't understand that it's a parody, almost all of his movies like Resevoir Dogs, Unglory Bastards and Kill Bill had epic scenes only to be followed with raw violence, they were a parody of the rest of the movies of their genres
The quality of Tarantino's violence. There's literally 3 minutes of Mr.White groaning and moaning trying to get to Orange and help him in some way. Most of the movies would wrap this up in a single minute, here you can see a struggle.
@@wellno7179 But that doesn't PRECLUDE him from living happily ever after. Maybe he found meaning for his life in the can and straightened himself out. In fact, I'm going to call that as the real ending and message of this film. Good job, Tarantino!
"Thats correct, thats your story?" The mounting frautration and anger as he is basically putting together what happened with the job, its fantastic. He and his father are the ONLY people who know anything about the others, and he immediately zeros in on Orange's bullshit. Even more tragic that its a GOOD FRIEND OF HIS.
I always seaech for this scene specifically for Chris, as he is a great actor and really slays this scene. The anger and rage growing in his face and look when he is telling Orange his story is full of BS. Then the gaze at mr orange, the look of "have you lost your fucking mind?" with a very realistc expression innbis eyes and eyebrows that is really telling us he is seeing an unknown behavior of Mr White that he has never seen before and thus highly unexpected.
I love how Nice Guy Eddie is just staring into Orange's soul listening to his bullshit story about his bestfriend....he's so mad that he's lying to his face
Yea he got shot in the stomach first idk how he lasted that long, then Joe shoots him- he must’ve shot em in the same spot or something for him to last another few minutes. This movies insane tho I’m so glad I re watched it tonight. I thought Mr. Pink got away the first time I watched it but he didn’t. 🤯
After Mr Pink Eddie was the most level headed out of the lot of them. He even tries to reason with Mr White during this stand off. Only reason he dies is cause he's loyal to Joe.
My personal canon is that Buscemi’s character sold the jewels and retired to Mandrake Falls, New Hampshire where he did so much drugs that his eyes crossed. And that’s when he met Deeds cause he was so bored with having whatever food he wanted anytime that he started getting weirder and weirder options to fuel his insatiable desire for new
@DRIVER Quentin tarantino zoomed in on mr. Whites face for a reason. This can be left up entirely to how you view it. For example, he could've been so devastated that he was wrong and 2 people died for it that he wanted to be done with it all and get accepted to the endless void, but he bonded so hard with orange that he didn't want to see him die for nothing. So when the cops came in, he shot behind orange's head to trigger a suicide by cops. And if you noticed the delay between gun shots and how white throws himself to the side, he could've done that to prevent orange from getting hit by any of the bullets. With these kind of endings, you've got to think outside of the box. Have I convinced you?
If listen carefully at the end someone who was telling a story. Mister orange liked to tell stories and it doesn't sound like mister pink so basically either Eddie survived or perhaps even mister orange survived as when the cops 👮 💂 🚓 🚔 first stormed the building can hear 3 clicks from somewhere else most likely from mister whites gun 🔫
So Penn family has a lot of talent. Sean has two Oscars Michael is a famous singer And Chris even danced, was in Rush Hour, and even nailed this role. So sad he died though 😢
@@wesleyrogers269 Joe Cabot: I ignored it before, but no more. (Pulls out his gun and points it at Mr. Orange) Mr. White: (Pulls out his gun and points it at Joe Cabot) Nice Guy Eddie: (Points his gun at Mr. White) You lost your fuckin' mind?
watching this movie signified my absolute move from childhood to adolescence. just an immediate like whoa ok let's get more serious about this life thing lol

You could tell Chris was the only one emotionally distressed during the standoff, dude didn't wanna see his dad get hurt. Terrific acting
It’s kind of my favorite line in the whole movie. You can almost feel Eddies anger turning to desperation.
I love that part and Chris Penn was incredible in this film and brought some real humor to it as well as drama.
Chris should have told his dad to put that gun down too so nobody won't get shot
*LARRY STOP POINTIN THAT FUCKIN GUN AT MY DAD!!!*

This movie inspired me to never be a cop, undercover cop, or criminal lol
😆 mee too
Unfortunately you then became a jeweller
Good cops are scum
@#1George lol wut?
Sounds like something an undercover cop or criminal would say 🤔
I like to imagine the cluster of thoughts that went through Mr. White’s mind when he heard Mr. Orange’s confession.
Probably “aw fuck, I killed my friends to protect a guy that fucked me in the end.”
"you son of a bitch, I defended you and you betrayed me" **pow**

He did has a reason, a really good one: Revenge, is implied in the movie that Vic is kinda piss with Joe and Eddie.
Exactly. The facial expression by Mr. Orange from 2:16-2:21 is priceless as Orange realizes with growing horror he overplayed his hand.
it's just an average subversion

@@mustardmanmax5733Mr. Blond was a sadist, he would've tortured him anyways.
2:21 that slow zoom is EVERYTHING. What a fucking debut from Tarantino, my God.
I finally figured out how everyone got shot in this scene. The dad shot the cop, nice guy Eddie shot Mr. White, and Mr. White shot the dad and then nice guy Eddie. It was quick but you can hear and see both shots from his gun.
Even at shooting Nice Guy Eddie is useless
Mr white shot twice. Was never in doubt for me he had to.
Nice Guy Eddie's blood effect device got triggered earlier than it was supposed to leading him to act earlier than he was supposed to thats why that sce is confusing
Tarantino actually explained nobody shot Eddie. The blood bag went off early and he rolled with the scene. Tarantino kept it because he knew it would be controversial. Sort of his subliminal way of messing with viewers who try to overanalyze things rather than just enjoying the natural flow. You would ruined the VHS tape back then trying to figure this scene out!
Yeah mr white obviously shit twice, I was never sure where the confusion/ debate came from.
Mr. Pink doesn't sound like a bad alias after all
What about Mr.Stink
Hence the name of that pop artist
all the names sound badass
“He’s right about the ear it’s hacked off” lmao
I absolutely love when Mr. Orange details why he killed Mr. Blonde. It is so idiotic, he assumed that these career criminals would be fine with the death of a loyal and effective member of their crew, if it meant some pig that was trying to arrest all of ‘em gets to live.
I absolutely adore how Nice Guy Eddie says “oh you mean this guy” and nonchalantly fills him with lead.
Big mistake!, Your right.
You have to remember that there is no loyalty here beyond the fact that the cop is a cop and the others are co-workers. Or at least there is but they aren't supposed to know it. The crew isn't supposed to know anything about each other that information is gatekept by Joe and Nice Guy Eddie. His story MAY (and I stress MAY) have flown except for the fact that Blonde has a long established history of loyalty with Joe and Eddie. Orange didn't just suddenly think they were stupid he was compelled to save the cop because he's an undercover and then had to make lemonade out of the lemons he found himself with. Honestly his whole story was predicated on the idea that Blonde went crazy and he should have focused on that. He actually over thought it and made his story less believable by saying Blonde was going to make off with the diamonds. The movie explicitly says in an earlier scene that ice (diamonds) are particularly hard to move as even White who is a career criminal in his at least forties doesn't know anyone that can move it. The idea that Blonde would know someone who could and furthermore that it somehow wouldn't get back to Eddie and Joe is quite a bit unbelievable. He was also counting on White backing him up as he had White fingered from the very start and Orange being shot in front of him sealed the deal. The story was his best shot with what he knew. He unfortunately stepped right into it. Love this fucking movie.
@@jackcoleman1784 what do you mean with "move diamonds"?
@@antoniocaputo8646 When you steal something it is what's called a "hot item" which is an item of worth that has reasonable suspicion of having been recently stolen. Hot items then have to be re-sold or "moved" if you want to make a cash profit. Usually this means going to what thieves call a "fence" which is a merchant that is known on the street to deal in stolen AKA "hot" items. The reason for this is because typically the more exotic the item the easier it is track and dealing in stolen items is illegal in the U.S.. So a fence is someone that is both crafty and able enough to re sell a hot item as well as willing to take a risk by dealing in said stolen items. If I remember correctly the diamonds in Reservoir Dogs are specifically "uncut stones" which are diamonds that have yet to be cut and polished into their final state making them even easier to track down. In an earlier scene Mr. White is asking Joe if he knows anyone (this being a "fence") that knows how to sell stolen diamonds (an extremely exotic item which in street slang is called "ice") reliably and make a profit with at least relative safety of the "fence" not being caught which would possibly endanger the entire gang of thieves or "crew" that stole them. He asks this in slang by asking if Joe knows anyone who can "move ice" AKA "fence diamonds". He's asking this because Mr. White (a career criminal who has presumably known many fences throughout his life) personally does not know of any fences that are able or at least willing to try to move stolen diamonds AKA ice. This is due to them being an extremely high risk item because of their worth and how exotic they are which makes them easy to trace. Joe says they have people "just waiting for it" and that the cut is "juicy" meaning yes he knows a fence willing and able to safely re-sell them and yes it is a profitable venture. So short explanation after a long one is that "moving diamonds" or "moving ice" is a slang term for safely re-selling stolen diamonds for a profit.
@@jackcoleman1784 Blonde and Eddie absolutely have loyalty. He mentions he did years in prison for his dad, and all he had to do to get out was snitch, which he didn’t do. Mr. Blonde was the most respected and loyal of the group. Whites an idiot and him defending Orange, a literal stranger, to the death makes no sense.
“STOP POINTIN THAT GUN AT MY DAD”!!!
Chris' Nice Guy Eddy is one of the greatest performances of all time. The way It oscillates between playfulness and unspeakable meaness is, if possible, even more unforgettable then Pesci's Tommy de Simone
In a lot of respects he's just a big kid. The obscenities he speaks in front of his father when he's horse-playing with Vic shows shows how immature he can be. And yet he has a fine criminal mind which allows him to rationalise when under pressure. He's a complex character. Brilliantly brought to life by Chris Penn.
@@vordman agreed
Disappointing lack of "lime in the coconut" there.
Chris Penn!........what a great actor.
Gone way too soon. Imagine what he could have given if he was still with us!!
" This cop "
Damn this scene is so heavy that is so good credit to the actors
Love this scene. This movie is a timeless classic. Amazing cast too. Chris Penn is one of my favorite actors. RIP
I like how Nice Guy Eddie immediately did not buy Orange's lie about Mr Blonde. Like Mr White, Mr Blonde has a history together with the Cabots, which completely rules both Blonde and White out as the rat. Same goes for Pink; the self-proclaimed "professional" who just wants to get the job done for a quick buck. Ultimately, it was narrowed down to just Orange, Blue, and Brown. With both Brown and Blue dead and dead men tell no tales, the only viable candidate to be the rat was Orange. And the Cabots turned out to be very right. Very clever thinking and writing, if you ask me.
Chris penns acting in this scene stood out so much to me great acting
This breaks my heart
Why? They're criminals
Glaring error in script: Mr. Orange never asks for water.
Yeah I thought that was odd. When I was 11 I got into an accident on my bike and lost a good amount of blood. You would not believe how thirsty you get when bleeding badly. You crave sugary water, and apparently that's your body trying to get more fluid and more energy to replace what's been lost. I imagine in this scenario that no matter how thirsty you are, a gut shot is going to be so painful that thought of consuming anything is a no go.
He doesn't ask for water. Look at the blood on the concrete.
@@TheUnknownDungeon best reply of all time
That “Out of the fkn blooo” has Big Bang energy. He could’ve created another universe with that.
Like how they delay the gunfire, so you know he shot mr orange and got showered with byllets right after
Yeah wouldn't have happened in reality. Wouldn't have been any delays. Great movie though.
@mr white They each fired twice. Joe shot Orange and got off a shot in White's direction as he's falling. White shot Eddie and Joe once each... and Eddie shot White twice.
@1stblade Nobody ever shot Eddie. It was supposed to happen BUT his blood bag went off early and the scene was kept to omit some controversy. Considering at the same we were using VHS, you would have damaged the tape by rewinding this scene so many times trying to figure it out
@@ThePointymetal lol stfu with this blood bag shit conspiracy man. You sound like a troll
@@MasterVsApprentice dude the blood bag thing is taken straight from an interview of the cast
That kidnapped cop getting peppered was probably the most "merciful" thing that happened to him.
Chris penn really had some raw emotion in this whole scene, he was chilling at 4:42
Chris Penn’s performance is underrated compared to all the other amazing actors in the movie. His speech to Orange is awesome
Damn, this is a great film, about 29 years ago when this came out, people didn’t expect it. I still love the film to this day
Miss it I’m 29 now inwss all into goodfellas casino sopranos
Damn how did Mr. Orange survive getting shot twice after losing an insane amount of blood
Good question, not sure.
Did you know:
Mr. Orange's amount of blood loss was kept consistent and realistic to that of a real gunshot victim. At several points, Tim Roth had lain in the pool of fake blood for so long that the blood dried out and he had to be peeled off the floor, which took several minutes.
Probably didn't live much longer.
@@BusterCherry1 He didn’t live to the end of the movie. When Orange admitted he was a cop, Larry, aka Mr. White, points the gun at his face. A split second before Mr. White is shot to Swiss cheese and the screen goes black, you hear a gunshot. It’s Mr. White killing Mr. Orange.
Possibly because this is not real ?
@@kenadams5504 you must be fun at parties
What I don't understand is why Mr Orange admitted he was a cop. As he was undercover if he had kept his mouth shut. He might have lived!! It is still a great film 😊
Tarantino once answered this in an interview Orange tells Mr. White, who has acted as his protector throughout the film, the truth because he feels that he owes it to him as a matter of honor. Tarantino actually described it as something beyond honor, best summed up by the Japanese word "jingi" that has no English equivalent.
Orange was dying no matter what. Joe put a second bullet in his shoulder. He had mere seconds to come clean before he lost his chance forever.
He simply felt he owed it to him.
Relyksie jingi means honor
Remorse, also what's called the Stockholm Syndrome. He had started to connect with White even through he was a cop. If you research what undercover cops go through mentally, they can sometimes start becoming friends with the targets of operations and regret what happens, feeling like they've betrayed people in some instances they've befriended. Probably with Orange it was a feeling of betrayal with White after White had steadfastly defended him.
Heavy scene this like
What would’ve been a smart thing for Orange to say would be Blonde was gonna kill White and Pink, but not Eddie.
Might not have known they were so close.
that wouldn't make sense. and orange doesn't know blonde and eddie relationship anyway.
best bet is "he's gonna set the place ablaze, and he wouldn't stop when i begged him" or something like that
Orange should've said he wanted payback for going to jail for them.
@@Arch3an why would he want payback if he gladly went to jail instead of screwing them over and when they were going to make it up to him with this job
@@GrosvnerMcaffrey Maybe he figured he deserved it all instead of a cut.
Mr Pink had his chance to escape with the diamonds... he was right to want to "just drive off..."
They were all caught red handed from the beginning
If you listen carefully you can hear the police shooting him.
@@paulrhyslloyd1 if you would read carefully, you would understand that pink was talking about driving off with the diamonds directly after the hist, not after every one is fuckin dead
That's a professional for you
2:49 this is some damn good acting, Chris Penn looked dead ass serious in this scene😳😳
The million dollar question is how did Orange live being shot once, needed the emergency room already and mass loss of blood then gets shot again and lives.
What should have happened is Pink shoild have shot Cabot first.
You can be shot quite a few times and live. A gut shut can take days to kill you if left untreated. The second shot could have been in the lower body. Soft tissue pass-through. Any number of scenarios.
Vincent Van Gogh shot himself in the middle of a field and it took 30 hours to die. If the movie didn't contain flashbacks it would appear as Mr Orange dying in like 45 minutes.
Because it's a Tarantino movie. Losing gallons of blood is like being bite by a mosquito.
@@ripitoshaby4576 Just like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
@@e.l.norton Second shot was in his upper-right chest, probably the lung.
You can see the hole when Mr. White is cradling him.
I thought this movie would be easy for me to watch as we would be watching this from the robber's perspective but mr. Blonde was a great addition as his psychotic antics made it very hard to root for him, especially when the guy he was torturing said he had a son, so it made it hard for me to put him in the "robbers" side as a good guy. But then mr. Orange flipped everything on its head as I was sympathizing with him hard especially after seeing him act out the scene he was supposed to seek to joe. By the end, everything was a messy blur of mr. Grey shades and found my point of view on the events greatly challenged. Thank tarantino for this incredible piece of art. Thank you, tarantino for showing me the grey areas of the world.
you can feel the devastation of Mr. white after Mr. orange tells him he's a cop.
Just realized Mr. Pink was the only one who kept cool and calm the entire movie
He was the only one who survived to tell the tale
Guess u can say he was a professional
After Mr Pink leaves the building you can hear him throw the suitcase in the trunk and enter the car. Followed after that you can hear him frantically trying to start up the car
Quentin Tarantino has been accused of glamorizing crime and violence. He doesn't here. I didn't want to become a criminal after seeing this.
God, what a brutal finale.
people don't understand that it's a parody, almost all of his movies like Resevoir Dogs, Unglory Bastards and Kill Bill had epic scenes only to be followed with raw violence, they were a parody of the rest of the movies of their genres
He's been accused of much more than that. 🕳🐇
I do, if it means I get the chance of chopping a pigs ear off to some banging 70’s music
What, you were like "I wanna be a criminal mastermind" when they asked you as a kid what you wanted to do?
@@Gookwear These are not parody movies. That's a BS claim you made
'he's just gonna decide' dumbledore said calmly
The quality of Tarantino's violence. There's literally 3 minutes of Mr.White groaning and moaning trying to get to Orange and help him in some way. Most of the movies would wrap this up in a single minute, here you can see a struggle.
Such a great ending that the whole film was building up too. Wish Chris was still alive RIP.
and Mr Pink lived happily ever after
Nah he got arrested, you can hear it in the background as orange confesses he’s a cop
He got arrested or killef
@@wellno7179 But that doesn't PRECLUDE him from living happily ever after. Maybe he found meaning for his life in the can and straightened himself out.
In fact, I'm going to call that as the real ending and message of this film. Good job, Tarantino!
Man the performances in this movie are fucking stellar. Especially Tim Roth
Classic film.
Huh I never noticed before the three coffins behind Joe
Filmed in an abandoned funeral home.
same pfp
HE’S JUST GONNA DECIDE… OUTTA THE FUCKIN BLUE… TO RIP US OFF?!?
👁️👁️
"Thats correct, thats your story?" The mounting frautration and anger as he is basically putting together what happened with the job, its fantastic. He and his father are the ONLY people who know anything about the others, and he immediately zeros in on Orange's bullshit. Even more tragic that its a GOOD FRIEND OF HIS.
damn that was intense!
"You don't need proof when you have instinct"

@@yeehaw3792Does your instinct tell you to drink bleach too? Trash
@@ElixirOfEuphoria. Eh Fuck Him, He’s gonna live a lonely and miserable life anyways and die alone.
I love Eddie Nike Jacket its screams 1991 😍
I always seaech for this scene specifically for Chris, as he is a great actor and really slays this scene. The anger and rage growing in his face and look when he is telling Orange his story is full of BS. Then the gaze at mr orange, the look of "have you lost your fucking mind?" with a very realistc expression innbis eyes and eyebrows that is really telling us he is seeing an unknown behavior of Mr White that he has never seen before and thus highly unexpected.
2:11 Chris Penn sounds badass
I love how Nice Guy Eddie is just staring into Orange's soul listening to his bullshit story about his bestfriend....he's so mad that he's lying to his face
You can hear mr pink being detained right before the police enter the warehouse
Mr. Orange was almost dead anyways it’s not like he was going to survive
Yea he got shot in the stomach first idk how he lasted that long, then Joe shoots him- he must’ve shot em in the same spot or something for him to last another few minutes. This movies insane tho I’m so glad I re watched it tonight. I thought Mr. Pink got away the first time I watched it but he didn’t. 🤯
Mr. orange sealed his fate killing mr. blonde. Even if he wasn’t outed as the cop killing mr. blonde to save a cop wasn’t going to slide.
Such a sad ending, he stood up for him and gave his life for him only to figure out it was all a lie
After Mr Pink Eddie was the most level headed out of the lot of them. He even tries to reason with Mr White during this stand off. Only reason he dies is cause he's loyal to Joe.
It was his dad he better be loyal.
My personal canon is that Buscemi’s character sold the jewels and retired to Mandrake Falls, New Hampshire where he did so much drugs that his eyes crossed. And that’s when he met Deeds cause he was so bored with having whatever food he wanted anytime that he started getting weirder and weirder options to fuel his insatiable desire for new
RIP Chris Penn (Nice Guy Eddie & Officer Eddie Pulaski in GTA SA) great actors
Mr. Pink dipped out like a Pro
Such a serious scene, and all I see when Joe starts yelling is his stomach bouncing because he's using his diaphragm to yell. 😂😂😂
To think, all of this happened, and no one got away with the loot. Man I miss when movies were good
Best tarantino scene ever..
Larry: Looks like we're gonna do a little time...
You killed two cops on your way here, Larry. You are not getting out of prison alive.
I like to believe mr orange survived the shot to the heat as well
@DRIVER yes
@DRIVER Quentin tarantino zoomed in on mr. Whites face for a reason. This can be left up entirely to how you view it. For example, he could've been so devastated that he was wrong and 2 people died for it that he wanted to be done with it all and get accepted to the endless void, but he bonded so hard with orange that he didn't want to see him die for nothing. So when the cops came in, he shot behind orange's head to trigger a suicide by cops. And if you noticed the delay between gun shots and how white throws himself to the side, he could've done that to prevent orange from getting hit by any of the bullets. With these kind of endings, you've got to think outside of the box. Have I convinced you?
@@lennysummers6672 He peeled his cap back cuz lol
@@lennysummers6672 Ha. No, Orange doesn't live. It's in the script. Mr. White shoots him.
If listen carefully at the end someone who was telling a story.
Mister orange liked to tell stories and it doesn't sound like mister pink so basically either Eddie survived or perhaps even mister orange survived as when the cops 👮 💂 🚓 🚔 first stormed the building can hear 3 clicks from somewhere else most likely from mister whites gun 🔫
When you realise 6 people died in one room
Thats nothing compared to the showdown at the House of Blue Leaves.
And the same day
Have seen worse in real life
My favorite movie of all time, and this scene was the best in the movie, which is saying a lot because this movie was FULL of great scenes
One of the greatest movies ever made.
So Penn family has a lot of talent.
