If you like that movie be sure to pick up True Romance, it was written by Tarantino and Avery just like Resevoir dogs and Pulp Fiction. They're a loose triology of sorts. It was sold to fund the making of Resevoir dogs and directed by Tony Scott(top gun). The story stayed mostly the same though, and there are even refferences to True Romance in Resevoir Dogs (Harvey Keitel speaks of Alabama--main character from TR). Check it out if you liked RD. It has Tarantino flavor ALL over it, and even has the mexican standoff at the end as well ;) Ohh yea it also has the cop, Scagnetti from Natural Born killers. This too was a partial script from Tarantino bought and rewritten/directed by Oliver Stone. Any more questions just ask, these movies are great and I enjoy the intricate ties that relate these movies to each other. True Romance has many characters in it, Christian Slater, the Arquette girl, Samuel L Jackson, Christopher Walken, tons of people that you've seen from one movie to the next.
Ohh yeah pick up Killing Zoe too, it was out about the same time Pulp FIction was, but it was Roger Avery by himself that wrote it. You will see his style and how it compliments Tarantino's in this movie.

True Romance I like a lot, but it's not as good.

at the end, when he runs out, I've heard a clip of the audio, where they isolated his voice, and it was awesome, but I seriously forgot what got said.
I don't recall where I heard that clip either.

Mr Pink might have got away, or he might have not.
Sorry to go off topic but I agree Jackie Brown is totally underrated. I went into it with low expectations after reading lots of negative reviews and it surprised me how good it was. As Tarantino says, you have to get to know the characters.

Mr Pink never gets away. Pink gets arrested and i think it's right before white shoots orange. You have to have the volume way up and you'll hear faint shots fired and "get your hands up get your hands up" or something like that

They all die.
It's the philosophical theme of the town of thieves. Theives do not trust each other, and they do not take part in becoming friends with other theives. That is the whole point of this story. It is also based on early American Development as ideas were proposed and debated.
The movie is a giant analogy, essentially the fact that as a community and society, if everyone was unknown to everyone, then complete choas would occur and the society would not survive.
As illustrated in the movie, no one knew names, no one cared about each other. The only thing was fear because the other person was a thief, and thus would rob another thief with no moral aspect.
I can dig up a few written papers on it if you wish.
