Pink managed to escape at the end of Reservoir Dogs and even went on to appear in Pulp Fiction. The fate of Steve Buscemi's Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs has long been one of Quentin Tarantino's biggest mysteries, but Buscemi has a theory that connects directly into Pulp Fiction.
Mr. Pink is probably the only known character to survive the events of the movie. Listening closely to background dialogue in the final scene, it appears Mr Pink was shot and apprehended by police if he was not killed by them.
Reservoir Dogs doesn't end well for the gang, and by the time the end credits roll all but one are definitely dead. The only possible survivor is Steve Buscemi's Mr. Pink, who might be something of a weasel but he at least tries to keep an air of professionalism when things go awry.
Joe explains in the film's final scene that he was killed - presumably he was shot by the police. In the Reservoir Dogs video game, however, it is shown that after escaping from Karina's Wholesale Diamonds, he entered a movie theatre where he was then shot by the police.
Pink is the Buddy Holly impersonator in Pulp Fiction who takes Mia and Vincent's food orders at Jack Rabbit Slims. It's extremely plausible, as Mr. Pink seems to survive Reservoir Dogs' ending, yet the movie ends before Mr. Pink's fate is truly revealed.
The film has received substantial criticism for its strong violence and language. One scene that viewers found particularly unnerving was the ear-cutting scene.

The criminal themes and violence (most notably the torture sequence) in Reservoir Dogs had therefore to be revisited in the light of potentially harmful effects – particularly to younger viewers – in the home viewing environment. In fact, the BBFC concluded that these issues could be robustly defended at 18.
Pink runs out, which Quentin Tarantino has since confirmed was the sound of Mr. Pink yelling at the cops who shot and arrested him. This makes Mr. Pink the only member of the team to officially survive.
Everyone dies. That's what's up with the ending. Blonde makes the mistake of gleefully torturing a poor policeman in front of a dying but still conscious undercover cop. Orange makes the mistake of trying to save Marvin's life by shooting Blonde, who's known to be loyal to Joe.
Pink was hired by Joe Cabot and his son, Nice Guy Eddie. He upon meets the other members that Joe hired. When given his codename, he is disliking of the color he is assigned: pink. He is teased and insulted by Joe about the codename and asks if he could be Mr.
While Orange might have shot himself in the foot by asking White's name, he shoots himself in the head by confessing to White that he is a cop, a cop that White just defended with his life, and because of whose lies White just killed two close friends.
Tarantino's pulp fiction character, Jimmie Dimmick is the brother of Mr. White in Reservoir Dogs as is John Travolta's character Vincent, who is also the brother of Vic Vega, portrayed by Michael Madsen in Reservoir Dogs.
Vic Vega a.k.a. Mr. Blonde arrived at the warehouse with a kidnapped policeman named Marvin Nash (Kirk Baltz), who he tortured in what became the most disturbing scene in Reservoir Dogs, which is actually inspired by a disturbing movie: Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.
The closest thing Tarantino's ever given resembling an explanation is that the title popped into his head when he visited a production company. The company was full of unmade scripts and they were jokingly described as 'reservoir dogs' – as in, dogs trapped in a reservoir tank and fighting for attention.
In the film, the role of Pumpkin went to Tim Roth. According to recent reports, however, Tarantino had made a backup plan if Tom Roth had refused. In the list of actors to play the role of Pumpkin, Johnny Depp was a strong second contender and the world would have surely loved him in that role!
Is the restaurant in Reservoir Dogs the same as Pulp Fiction?
Big Kahuna Burger is a fictional chain of Hawaiian-themed fast food restaurants that has appeared in films by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, including Death Proof, Four Rooms, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and From Dusk till Dawn.
Why does Mr. Orange wear a wedding ring? There is no clear answer to this one, and fans love to debate about it. The leading theories are that the ring is a good luck charm, or that it is a prop for Orange's cover story about his life.
Series creator Vince Gilligan is a noted cinephile, and as a result, he filled Breaking Bad with references to classic movies. From recycling The Godfather's orange symbolism to borrowing Reservoir Dogs' “Mr. White” character name, Gilligan packed Breaking Bad with more movie references than Family Guy.
Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs encapsulates his style of mixing violence and profanity without forgetting about character development. The infamous torture scene, led by Mr. Blonde, caused a shocking number of walkouts. Michael Madsen's portrayal was so chilling that horror legend Wes Craven left the screening.
