27 Things You Didn't Know About Reservoir Dogs

6. Mr. Blue Was Played By A Real-Life Criminal

One of Reservoir Dogs' minor cast members was actually a real-life criminal - Edward Bunker, who played Mr. Blue in the film.

Bunker was a troubled youth who routinely got into trouble with the law, until at the age of 17 he became the youngest felon ever imprisoned in San Quentin.

After being paroled in 1975, Bunker became an author, actor and technical advisor on crime films, leading to him eventually being cast as the doomed Mr. Blue in Tarantino's film.

Bunker would later remark in interviews that the gang's heist plot was implausible - namely the team meeting for breakfast in conspicuous clothing - and that his death during the heist was originally supposed to be filmed, but was cut due to budgetary limitations.

And hilariously, Bunker claimed to have actually met fellow cast member Lawrence Tierney back in the 1950s, where the two engaged in a fistfight in a Los Angeles parking lot. Tierney, however, didn't remember the incident (nor most of his lines, according to his fellow cast).
