RE: Reservoir Dogs: The Video Game

(Click above to see the trailer)

Quotes from the video game's trailer:

"What happened at the jewelry store?"

"Where did Mr. Pink stash the diamonds"

"Where did Nice Guy Eddie dump the getaway cars?"

"How did Mr. Blonde get the cop back to the warehouse?"

"How did Mr. Orange and Mr. White escape from the heist?

"What happened to Mr. Blue?"

"You decide!"

I have seen Reservoir Dogs nearly 20 times, and I never asked any of these questions. In the end, the only thing I wanted to know was who shot Nice Guy Eddie during the Mexican stand-off finale? That the video game trailer makers never considered that one of the questions to address - especially when it's one of the biggest mysteries in the film - is cause for minor concern.

For me, what made Reservoir Dogs work so well in the first place was that we didn't see all of the events that would have answered the questions above. Reservoir Dogs was heist movie that took place primarily between the scenes that typically are in a heist movie (i.e. the heist itself). When Lionsgate bought Artisan, I am sure this is one of the properties they were glad to acquire, and it looks as though they are putting it to work for them.

On the upside, a new 'GAS CAN' DVD edition of the film is on its way, and while I am not certain if there will be any new features (I mean, c'mon the 10th Anniversary edition was pretty tricked out), it will be packaged inside of a plastic gas can.

Maybe there will finally be a commentary from the director as well. I bet Quentin could tell us who shot Nice Guy Eddie, but I hear Tarrantino is reluctant to provide commentary for anything he directed. Anyway, maybe you can decide who killed Nice Guy Eddie for yourselves, in Italian!!!!
