Small Details You Missed In Reservoir Dogs

Pink repeatedly talks about dealing with the situation "like a professional," but one moment roughly 50 minutes into the film speaks to the professionalism of the actors themselves. During a lengthy scene where the guys recap for Eddie what happened during the heist, the building's outer door swings open. Cool as a cucumber, White walks over and closes it while the dialogue continues. No one breaks character. This is remarkable, as the door opening was not planned.

According to Kirk Baltz, who plays Marvin Nash, the cop bound to a chair in the scene in question, this sort of thing was a common occurrence. "Harvey's talking to Chris, and suddenly, the door at the other end ... flops open, and Harvey was able to walk — it must be 15 yards at least, a good 30 feet — to the other side of the space, shut the door, and come back into the scene and keep the scene going," Baltz recalled on the DVD commentary. "There were continually moments like that where everyone's work was so good, and it really was like we were on a stage together."
