I don't know, it's maybe a bit clunky, but I kind of like the old-timey feel of that title.

Fantastic film.

By a great director! 👍

Yeah, sounds like a movie set in the 1970's though.

A lot of Italian Westerns had titles like that. I don't know why they thought that was a good idea.

If it was up to me the trilogy would have been named

Batman Returns (Used too early!)

[–] samoanjoes (58610) 5 years ago

It works better if it was a villain returning.

reply

[–] NotoriousRio (12927) 5 years ago

Imagine if Keaton and Burton did make a third, they'd have to call it Batman Returns Returns! 😁

Die hard . Die harder

What the hell does that mean

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58610) 5 years ago

At least it doesn't show up in the film itself. It just says Die Hard 2.

reply

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

How do you die harder ?

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58610) 5 years ago

Falling off of a building and then get crushed.

[–] samoanjoes (58610) 5 years ago

And the end of part 2.

reply

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

He’s Kevin Nash former wrestling champion.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58610) 5 years ago

I found that out years later. I also found out Keno from part 2 was one of the turtles in part 1.

He was.

Reservoir Dogs - is the title ever explained?

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58610) 5 years ago

He's really using the term "reservoir" loosely. I guess the warehouse is the reservoir.

"The title for the film came from a customer at the Video Archives, who requested Louis Malle's 1987 film Au revoir les enfants, but mispronounced the title "reservoir"."
