The Late Movies: Resevoir Dogs

OK, ready for a really random one? There appears to be a trend at weddings where the groom and groomsmen recreate the walking scene from Reservoir Dogs. Who even knew this was a thing? But I absolutely love Reservoir Dogs, so I feel I must present some samples here, along with one of my favorite parody videos.

These guys went retro. Black & white – nice touch. And the slo-mo makes it.

This one has a bit of the bride spliced in. I like how all the guys look hammered. Might be my favorite.

Guys, wrong Tarantino music. Do I have to do everything!

This one starts with the naming scene, and I like that they called it “Reservoir Groomsmen.” Could also be a top pick.

These guys added title cards, but I’m not digging the editing.

What? How young are kids gettin’ married these days?

Hmmm…red vests, nice touch. The groom’s smiling too much, but I definitely like the kid at the end. This one could also be the winner.

And finally, one of my favorite parody videos…Reservoir Clowns.

  1. Something like this was done on Coupling, though IIRC they were going to a funeral, not a wedding.

    Searching youtube for “Reservoir Dogs Coupling” turns up a bunch of clips of it.

  2. Reservoir Dogs actually lifted this scene from “A Clockwork Orange.”

  3. We didn’t go that far but we used ‘Little Green Bag’ when our bridal party was introduced. We were introduced to the opening song from Kill Bill.

  4. Vince, I always thought the walk before the final shoot-out in “The Wild Bunch” was the inspiration for this scene…no?

  5. I think the most commonly cited “that was stolen from” movie is Goodfellas.

  6. Considering Peckinpah’s mastery of slo-mo camera work, I think it’s safe to go with “The Wild Bunch” as the source of inspiration.
