    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film's budget was so low that many of the actors were asked to simply bring their own clothing as wardrobe; most notably Chris Penn's track jacket. The signature black suits were provided for free by the designer, based on her love for the American crime film genre. Steve Buscemi wore his own black jeans instead of suit pants, and Michael Madsen wore a jacket and pants that came from two different suits.
    • Goofs
      (at around 59 mins) When Mr. Blonde is pouring gasoline on Marvin Nash, Nash's legs are taped to the chair. When the angle changes you can see his legs kicking up in the air. And then they go back to being taped up.
    • Quotes
      • Nice Guy Eddie: C'mon, throw in a buck!
      • Mr. Pink: Uh-uh, I don't tip.
      • Nice Guy Eddie: You don't tip?
      • Mr. Pink: No, I don't believe in it.
      • Nice Guy Eddie: You don't believe in tipping?
      • Mr. Blue: You know what these chicks make? They make shit.
      • Mr. Pink: Don't give me that. She don't make enough money that she can quit.
      • Nice Guy Eddie: I don't even know a fucking Jew who'd have the balls to say that. Let me get this straight: you don't ever tip?
      • Mr. Pink: I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.
      • Mr. Blue: Hey, our girl was nice.
      • Mr. Pink: She was okay. She wasn't anything special.
      • Mr. Blue: What's special? Take you in the back and suck your dick?
      • Nice Guy Eddie: I'd go over twelve percent for that.
    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits leave out Writing and Directing credits. They are then shown first during the end credits.

      The ear slicing scene was cut in the Finnish VHS release
