Reservoir Dogs (1992): 25 SECRETS Hidden for Decades

Video Description

Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs (1992), almost never made it to the screen. What started as a thirty-thousand-dollar guerrilla film shot in black and white transformed into one of the most influential independent films ever made. But the journey from script to screen was filled with chaos, near-disasters, and secrets that have remained hidden for decades. In this video, we reveal 25 behind-the-scenes stories that shaped Reservoir Dogs into the cult classic it became. Discover how Harvey Keitel's single phone call raised the budget by five thousand percent, why Tarantino spent the entire music budget on one song, and the bizarre origin of the film's iconic yet meaningless title. Learn about the mortuary where most scenes were filmed, still filled with caskets and funeral equipment. Find out how Steve Buscemi had to fight Tarantino himself for the role of Mr. Pink, why Madonna personally corrected the director's interpretation of her song, and how Michael Madsen nearly broke down filming the torture scene despite his tough-guy reputation. We explore the chaotic Sundance premiere where everything went wrong, the actors who auditioned but were rejected, and the difficult production challenges that threatened to destroy the film. From Lawrence Tierney's arrest mid-production to Tim Roth literally getting stuck to the floor with fake blood, these stories reveal how close we came to never seeing Tarantino's vision.
