Talk:Reservoir Dogs

Thaddeus nice ID on the Jetfire. I'll try and get a screenshot of it in the movie. I added that the Smith & Wessons were 5946s and made a page for that gun and updated the Jetfire page with the movies its been in. Do you know if you see Tarantino as Mr. Brown with a gun?

Quality

Is it just me or are the screencaps in this page really low quality?--Oliveira 14:59, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Wow, I just finished re-doing this page. They're much better quality than what they were before. Even so, I don't think they are low quality. -Gunman69 00:02, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Come on, look at this screencap.

This is ugly.

That's just low quality as hell. It looks like it was taken from a bootleg copy from Shanghai for christ sake.--Oliveira 14:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

mine looks marginally better

Here is quick snap I took. Mine is from the 15th Anniversary Edition. The film was done for like 1.5 million, pretty low budget. So I don't think you can expect HD quality. --Predator20 22:40, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Predator's screecap looks better. No offense, Gunman.--Oliveira 22:50, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Ok, well, I'm sorry its so low quality. I took it from a DVD. Not the 15th anniversary like Predator, but it was still a DVD. Not a bootleg. I will say that even though you guys think mine looks bad, it was still better than the pics that were on here before. It's just a bit irritating that I wasted 4 hours on this thing. So if one of you wants to redo it, go ahead. -Gunman69 00:05, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm not going to redo it, because the pics would be only marginally better. It would be a waste of my time. Gunman, I wasn't saying yours looked bad. I threw up that pic as a comparison to show that there wasn't nothing really wrong with your pics. Someone would really have to like the movie to spend the time recapping it and the result wouldn't be all that better and probably go unnoticed. The page looks fine to me. --Predator20 00:32, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Also Oliveira, I will be redoing Predator 2. --Predator20 00:38, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh no, Predator. I'm not blaming you or anything. I didn't know that you were just putting up my pic to show there wasn't anything wrong with it, so thank you. I appreciate that very much. :) -Gunman69 02:04, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Gunman, I should have said "threw up my pic". Oliveira put your pic on the page and said it was ugly. Mine was just to show yours wasn't. --Predator20 02:16, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I see. Thank you for backing me up. -Gunman69 03:17, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

LAPD

I'm pretty sure that the film takes place in Los Angeles ( The police officers uniform). the film was made in 1992, many years after they introduced the Beretta 92fs but they officers chasing Mr. pink wield Smith & Wesson model 19's.

Yeah the movie takes place in Los Angeles. A lot of LAPD officers were still carring revolvers in the 1990s, though.--Oliveira 14:49, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Weren't LAPD officers who were issued revolvers allowed to carry them after the Beretta was introduced if they wanted to? I'm pretty sure the NYPD was like that, so maybe LAPD too. But most likely the reason is due to the films budget. --Predator20 14:53, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Only old timers were allowed to keep their revolvers. The YOUNG officers as seen in the film would not have revolvers, nor would have been allowed to ask for one. MoviePropMaster2008 04:09, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, this movie was made in 1992 and the LAPD switched to semi-autos in 1988, so only officers who were on the force for about 5 years would be allowed to carry revolvers. MPM is right, these officers are definitely rookies, and therefore shouldn't be carrying revolvers. But, yes, Predator, this movie was very low budget. In fact, several of the actors wore their own clothes (Chris Penn is wearing his own personal track suit, Steve Buscemi wears his own black jeans in lieu of suit pants) and the Cadillac Michael Madsen gets gasoline out of was actually his own Cadillac. So I'm assuming that revolvers were just easier to get because semi-autos were much more innovative and, therefore, more expensive, whereas revovlers have been around for a while and were still pretty popular at the time. At least, that's what my guess is.
