If Mr. Orange had not been killed would have he had to face charges for shooting the woman in the car, despite being a cop on an infiltration job? [There would defiently have been an investigation. But it was also self defence and /or a reflex action of being shot himself. Also he could claim that Mr. White shot her.]Reservoir Dogs (1992) - 9 questions

If Mr. Orange had not been killed would have he had to face charges for shooting the woman in the car, despite being a cop on an infiltration job? [There would defiently have been an investigation. But it was also self defence and /or a reflex action of being shot himself. Also he could claim that Mr. White shot her.]
After we learn Mr. Orange is the "rat", we see him talking to a co-worker in a diner, which looks really familiar. Is this the diner that Honey Bunny and Pumpkin attempted to rob in Pulp Fiction? [The diner in reservoir dogs is much smaller than the one in Pulp.]
On the 10th Anniversary Special Edition DVD, why does the widescreen disc have 22 chapters, while the full screen disc only has 8? [With eight chapters you can't always find the precise moment of the movie, though with 22 chapters you can find the moment you wish to view easier without having to chose the closest chapter and wait 5-10 minutes. More and more new DVDs have a high number of chapters.]
How does Joe know that someone didn't throw in a buck simply by holding the bills? Shouldn't he at least have counted it? [He's been around money long enough that he can count it quickly just by looking at it.]
Why does Mr. White snap his fingers when trying to light his cigarette lighter? [It's a way of lighting a zippo lighter. If you snap your fingers close to it, your middle finger will strike the wheel and light it.]
Is there any particular significance to the thieves' color-coded aliases, or did Quentin Tarantino merely assign them at random? [Not sure if QT assigned the names in any particular order, but I believe that the inspiration to use colours as names was taken from the excellent movie "The Taking of Pelham 123" starring Walter Mathau.]
Were there any alternative scenarios created for this film, in which someone other than Mr. Orange is the cop? [To the best of anyone's knowledge, the only scenario ever created was that Mr. Orange was the cop.]
Why is the film called "Reservoir Dogs"? Is there any special significance to why Tarantino chose the title? [When Tarantino worked in a video store, he once recommended to a customer "Au revoir les enfants". The customer screamed back that he "did not want any Reservoir Dogs!". Tarantino must have thought it sounded cool.] Answered by Twotall
Does White shoot Orange at the end? [Yes, you can hear his gunshot, whihc causes the police to then shoot him.]You may also like: Pulp Fiction | Kill Bill: Volume 1 | Star Wars | The Matrix | 300
