543 Reservoir Dogs (1992)
- The criminals in "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)" (qv) all used
colors to identify each other.
- The actor who plays the lady that Mr Orange ('Tim Roth' (qv)) shoots was
Roth's dialog coach. Roth insisted that she take the role, as she was very
hard on him.
- Director 'Quentin Tarantino' (qv) was going to shoot the film in black and
white, with his friends as actors. A friend of his was in an acting class
given by 'Harvey Keitel' (qv)'s wife. Keitel saw the script, and was so
impressed that he immediately signed on and helped raise funds.
- Tarantino wanted 'James Woods' (qv) to play a role in the film, and made
him five different cash offers. Woods' agent refused the offers without
ever mentioning it to Woods as the sums offered were well below what Woods
would usually receive. When Tarantino and Woods later met for the first
time, Woods learn of the offer and was annoyed enough to get a new agent.
Tarantino avoided telling Woods which role he was offered ``becuase the
actor who played the role was magnificent anyway''. It is widely
accepted that the role that Tarantino was referring to was Mr. Orange.
