Deliberate mistake: In the torture scene, Mr Blonde turns the radio on and listens to "Stuck in the Middle with You" as he proceeds to torture the cop. Mr Orange shoots him before Mr Blonde turns the radio off, but somehow the radio is never heard again in the film.
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
Starring: Steve Buscemi, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Quentin Tarantino, Chris Penn, Lawrence Tierney, Kirk Baltz, Eddie Bunker
Continuity mistake: When Mr Blonde cuts the ear off the cop, we cut to a shot of him holding the ear, it is covered in blood. However, when we cut to a shot of Mr Blonde talking into the ear, there is no blood on the ear.
Mr. Blonde: Eddie, if you don't stop talking like a bitch, I'm gonna slap you like a bitch.
Trivia: Michael Madsen was extremely reluctant to film the torture scenes, especially when he was required to hit Kirk Baltz.
