Nerdstalgic x "Quentin Tarantino's Blueprint for a Psychopath."

When Reservoir Dogs first hit theaters in 1992, audiences were both disturbed and fascinated by Mr. Blonde's casual approach to violence. His infamous "ear" scene remains one of the most shocking and unsettling moments in Tarantino’s filmography.

I’ve been collecting behind the scenes pics from Intruder (1989). Here’s pics that feature Bruce Campbell, Liz Kern, Ted Raimi, Lawrence Bender, Scott Spiegel, and David Byrnes.

Reservoir Dogs was first screened at the Sundance Film Festival on 21 January 1992.

While working at a video store in Manhattan Beach, CA, 29-year-old Quentin Tarantino worked on his screenplay, which borrowed heavily from other films, including Kansas City Confidential (1952), The Big Combo (1955), Django (1966), The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) and City on Fire (1987). Tarantino gave has script to producer Lawrence Bender, who in turn gave it to Harvey Keitel. Keitel liked the screenplay so much he signed on as co-producer in order to make it easier for Bender to raise money. He also paid for casting sessions, where Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, and Tim Roth were hired.

After the Sundance screening, Reservoir Dogs was picked up by Miramax and released to a wider audience in October. While it received mostly positive reviews, the film was a modest success at the box office, earning less than $3 million.
