18 Things You Somehow Missed In Reservoir Dogs

18. Related Characters

As with just about every Quentin Tarantino movie, there are connections within Reservoir Dogs to many of his other works. Despite the fact that this was his directorial debut, that didn’t stop him from bringing to life characters that would be related to other characters further down the line.

Of course, the most famous connection throughout the entire Tarantino-verse is that between Vic Vega and his brother, John Travolta’s Vincent Vega. The Pulp Fiction character, though potentially not quite as intense, feels like just as much of a loose cannon as Mr. Blonde, and it’s easy to piece them together as brothers.

Another familial connection that is not quite so obvious is the Nash family. Marvin Nash is one of the few characters whose full name is revealed throughout Reservoir Dogs, and can be connected to the unseen (sort of) Gerald Nash, another boy in blue from Natural Born Killers.

Along with the not-so-well liked Seymour Scagnatti, Vic Vega’s parole officer, and his brother, Natural Born Killers’ Jack Scagnatti, there is one more sibling pairing, this one once again connecting Reservoir Dogs to Pulp Fiction. Mr. White is actually the brother of Pulp Fiction’s Jimmy Dimmick. Apparently, Jimmy just chose to ignore the fact that Mr. Wolf looked exactly the same as his late brother.
