Pulp Fiction VS Resevoir Dogs

Now I know Pulp Fiction is probably going to win this hands
down, but I'm interested to see what people loved about
Resevoir Dogs. Of course Pulp Fiction had it's subtle humour
which I absolutely love, whereas Resevoir Dogs had the
harder edge, which I also love...hurray for love! So come
on, let's hear your views.

P.S. Does anyone else think Quentin Tarantino chose his role
as Jimmy in PF just so he could talk down to Samuel L.
Jackson?

Wow! this is a very tuff choice.
I love both movies , in fact i can't chose.

Maybe i can stretch myself to say that both them movies is
better then Jackie Brown.

Jackie Brown had the best soundtrack tho.

I think they are tied...
And I think Quentin Tarantino chose his role because he
always plays part where he gets to say funny shit. Look at
Four Rooms. Maybe he just wanted to say "nigger" in front
of black guy. Maybe just because it was the only
unimportant part he felt like playing...

Hey hold up! Don't go bringing no other movies into this,
this is between Pulp Fiction and Resevoir Dogs! Choose!....

...and state your reason why!

RD

I found it more raw, if that is possible, compared to PF.
Maybe it's jus that I've seen it 10x more than PF, but
still.

"OMG, I'm going to fucking die!"
"Hey are you a doctor?"
*bleeding all over..."No"
"Then shut the fuck up, you ain't gunna die"

Maybe in the end RD is more simple, more basic, and that is
why I see it as more emotional and powerful, both eye
opening movies.

Actually, Tarantino wasn't sure if he wanted to play the
role of Jimmy or of Lance the herion dealer.... he chose
Jimmy because he wanted to be behind the camera during the
adrenaline shot scene.....

they're both cool
i like the scene (and the music) in reservoir dogs when
michael madsen is dancing around the cop, before he cuts his
ear off
and pulp fiction is full of great scenes as well + samuel l
jackson is there
i like the scene with zed in the basement

The end of RD is just awesome. You can't really end a movie
better than that...

I`d probably say pulp fiction is the better
film....reservoir dogs is excellent,and maybe more
memerable[as it was his first movie,and for certain
scenes]but it is a rip off of Ringo Lam`s City on
Fire,starring chow yun fat [reservoir dogs is better than
city on fire though]nearly identical in some parts--robber
shooting 2handguns killing cops in cop car,and both films
end in a warehouse,ending in a mexican standoff[chow yun
fat,the undercover cop,shot in the belly-and Danny Lee,the
mr white type charecter,not believing hes an under cover
cop]:D

Reservior Dogs is very much like a play...

all three are way better than Mrs. Doubtfire or Home Alone 3

i liked reservoir dogs better. it just appealed to me more,
it wasn't trying to be constantly hip and cool like pulp
fiction.
jackie brown did it way too much, ruining it.

Tarantino has either made or is nearly finished making Kill

Pulp Fiction......however i think resevoir dogs was like a
prequel to it.

harvey keitel is just GREAT in it.

more interesting characters and better humor in Pulp ....IMO

Chief Wiggum: The Mc-what?
Lou: Yeah, I never heard of it either but they say they have
over 2000 locations in this state alone.
Eddie: Hmm...Must've sprung up over night.
Lou: But you know, its the little differences.
Chief Wiggum: Example?
Lou: Well at a McDonalds you can get a Krusty Burger with
cheese. But they don't call it a Krusty Burger with cheese.

Chief Wiggum: Get out! What do they call it?
Lou: A quarter pounder with cheese.
Chief Wiggum: Quarter pounder with cheese...well I can see
the cheese but? Hey, do they have Krusty's Partially

Lou: Yeah, they call them 'shakes.'

Reservoir Dogs for me.

Don't get me wrong, I love Pulp, but I just love Reservoir
some more.

I love the fact that it is a real simple movie, just some
guys who don't know each other, commited a crime, some cops
involved and that's all. I mean, it's basically a movie in
one scene. The movie is just based on dialogs, powerfull
dialogs, hardly any special effects. Good acting by the way,
some darn good acting.

Damn it, one of the best movies ever.

And, listen to that soundtrack... (this last goes as wel for
the pulp soundtrack).

Dogs has more rewatchability. but just barely. i like to
have reservoir dogs running in the back ground at home
sometimes just to listen to the dialogue.

admit it peoples: you enjoy reservoir dawgz for the ear
slicing & pulp fiction for the arse as a safekeeping spot
but if it wasn't for those things, you'd all think they're
crap films.

good job at being mad, but everything else he tries just
comes off fake and lame...

I definitely prefer Pulp Fiction--but I have no complaints
about Reservoir Dogs.

Here's what I think is better with Pulp Fiction:
1) the non-linear story is more suited to PF

2) the characters are better developed and more likable.
Reservoir dogs has only two big characters: mr. orange and
mr white.

3) pulp fiction stuns you all the way through--reservoir
dogs is a big jolt at the end. That's a big difference just
in the style of the film.

4) pulp fiction is riddled with small details. it'll be a
line of dialogue or a background character, or the way the
camera moves, but all these little things are just nice
touches that make PF purely original and completely genuine,
I say.

I like RD better overall--the sad friendship between mr
orange and mr white which lead to tragedy at the end really
gets to me.

Pulp Fiction for me... but they're both really good.

& I think Quentin's character was supposed to be so "down"
with samuel that he can say nigga and it be cool, but it
looked a bit unconvincing that he was good friends with this
badass gangster.

errr anyway... Taranitino's taste in music really adds to
the films I think.
