2. Mr. Blonde Tortures The Cop (Reservoir Dogs)
After their diamond heist goes horribly wrong, Mr. White and a badly wounded Mr. Orange flee to an abandoned warehouse. They are soon joined by Mr. Pink, who has stored the stolen diamonds in a secure location, and Mr. Blonde - who reveals that he has a police officer that he had used as a hostage in the trunk of his car. When Nice Guy Eddie arrives and demands that Mr. Pink and Mr. White assist him in retrieving the stashed diamonds, only Mr. Blonde, the police officer (Nash) and a barely conscious Mr. Orange are left in the warehouse. Mr. Blonde ties Nash up and tortures him, slashing at his face and punching him. He then turns on the radio and - in one of the most memorable scenes in living memory - the Steeler's Wheel classic "Stuck in the Middle" comes on. He dances to it, mocking the police officer's predicament, before mounting him and slicing his ear off. He then douses Nash in gasoline but, before he gets the chance to set him on fire, Mr. Orange (an undercover police officer himself) shoots him.
