Movie Facts Reservoir Dogs is Quentin Tarantino s 1992 debut as a feature film director. It co-stars Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi & Lawrence Tierney. Tarantino also has a minor role. The screenplay, written by Tarantino, was inspired by Hong Kong director Ringo Lam s Long hu feng yun from 1987, starring Chow Yun-Fat & Danny Lee. Reportedly one of Tarantinos favourite films, he borrowed much of the plot as well as many of the scenes. Tarantino was originally going to shoot it with his friends, but luckily he was able to get the script to Harvey Keitel, who loved it. Funds were raised partly from selling the script for True Romance & what money Harvey Keitel was able to raise. The final budget was a mere $1,2 million. The makers had so little to work with that many of the costumes used in the film belonged to the actors themselves. In Tarantinos words, the film is a heist movie in which, as Murphys law would have it, everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. Posters Of Reservoir Dogs

Harvey Keitel. The son of a Polish mother & Romanian father, he spent most of his youth on the streets of New York City. At the age of 16, Keitel decided to join the United States Marine Corps, a decision which took him to Lebanon. After his return to the United States, he floundered for a while in mediocre jobs before beginning his acting career. Keitel studied under both Stella Adler & Lee Strasberg, eventually landing roles in some off-Broadway productions. During this time, Keitel met another struggling filmaker named Martin Scorsese & gained a part in Scorseses student production. Since then both Scorsese & Keitel have worked together on numerous projects. Throughout the 1980s, Keitel continued to find plenty of work, but it was usually in the stereotypical role of a thug. In 1993, however, Keitel worked to change his image after choosing to co-star in Jane Campion s The Piano & later, as the lead, in Abel Ferraras graphic masterpiece, Bad Lieutenant.
