How does nice guy eddie die

Chris Penn once explained that his blood squib a mini explosive device used in films to simulate gunfire went off earlier than planned, forcing him to fall to the floor before time. Penn said that Keitel was supposed to shoot Tierney and then him, but the squib on Keitel went right off after shooting Tierney, so he went down before he shot Penn, whose squib went off anyway, so he had to fall too. In the end, nobody shot Nice Guy Eddie, but in the script, it was Mr.

White who did it, which completely rules out the option of Mr. Orange shooting Eddie. White, who in his final moments shot Mr.

Orange before being killed by the police Mr. This is one of those mistakes that ended up helping the film, as it definitely gave the audience something to talk about and analyze for a while. Adrienne Tyler is a features writer for Screen Rant. She is an Audiovisual Communication graduate who wanted to be a filmmaker, but life had other plans and it turned out great.

Adrienne is very into films and she enjoys a bit of everything: from superhero films to heartbreaking dramas, to low-budget horror films. Like Mick Jagger,or what? It just popped into my head at the last second. Long story short: Madsen tore off around bumpy downtown Los Angeles making a pit stop at Taco Bell along the way. Or did they? But what happened was the squib [a mini explosive device used to simulate gunfire] on Harvey went right off after he shot Lawrence, so he went down, but my squib went off anyway, so I went down.

Basically nobody shot Nice Guy Eddie. Forcing Mr. Orange and Mr. White to flee on foot. They then stop a car with the intent to hijack the car. The lady driving the car grabs a gun from her glove compartment and shoots Orange in his abdomen, causing Orange to return fire killing her in the process.

While one may think it is Murder since Orange was participating in the carjacking with White, and that the lady was defending her property, especially since they were armed. In court it would most likely play out in favor of Orange Freddy. The lady obviously did not know Orange was a undercover cop, and Orange could not divulge that to her, since White was there with him.

Some may think that he should have not carjacked the lady, and taken White into custody since the Police were obviously not far away at all, and could have backed him up. He was specifically instructed not to blow his cover until they took Joe Cabot into Custody, since Orange even tells Marvin Nash that the cops were not to move in on the warehouse until Joe showed up.

Also it is highly unlikely that Orange had is credentials on him, since he was undercover, and having his credentials could increase the likeliness of his cover getting blown. Another thing someone could say is that Undercover Cops cannot kill while working Undercover.

Usually they must talk their way out of it, or pull out of the operation. This is true, however this mostly pertains to if a criminal ordered that person to kill someone to prove your not a cop, or to offer membership as that would be murder. In the instance of Orange and the Lady, while she was defending her property again not knowing Orange was a cop Orange has also been trained to use deadly force against someone who threatens him with a deadly weapon, thus not only being threatened, but attacked, his natural response is to respond with deadly force.

In which he does. If Orange had survived the events, a court case would be opened, and because of the situation he most likely would have been able to prove self defense, as he feared for his life after being shot, as she could have shot him again, or injured White, who they needed alive.

So no it was not Murder since Orange was threatened with deadly force, he had no other way to respond. Alive, possibly. Able to move or even be conscious, highly unlikely. Early on, Mr. White whispers to the wounded Mr. Orange, then combs Orange's hair. Orange laughs. White says, "It's all right, pal.

It's all right," according to the DVD subtitles. There has been some confusion among viewers as to how Mr. Brown is killed. Because Brown is the getaway driver, and we see him crash the car before we see him injured, some viewers come to think that he has been injured in the crash. Others theorize that he is killed by Mr. Orange, to whom he is talking just before his death. In actuality, as Mr. White tells Mr. Pink, Brown was shot by the police possibly the officers that Mr.

White later fires on. He crashes the car as a result of his soon-to-be-fatal injury. Orange does not harm Mr. Brown - his shell-shocked behavior after Brown's death is due to the violence that he is witnessing and not yet any that he has committed. He has, after all, just seen his friend Mr. White gun down two of his fellow officers.

A famous source of confusion for viewers of Reservoir Dogs is how, in the climactic Mexican stand-off, Nice Guy Eddie is killed. The bullets were supposed to fly thusly: Joe shoots Mr. Orange, Eddie shoots Mr. White shoots Joe and then Eddie. However, during filming Eddie Chris Penn 's squib went off before Mr. White was able to get to him, and he fell to the floor anyway. Hence, the confusion began.

Tarantino has claimed that he realized the mistake, but left it in the film to give people something to talk about. Seeing as how Mr. Orange did not have a loaded gun at that time, Mr. White is really the only possible candidate for Eddie's shooting and if you watch the scene in slow motion, as Mr.

White is falling, he clearly turns and fires at Eddie. A far-fetched theory is that Mr. Pink, hiding underneath the ramp shot Eddie, so Pink would be the last man standing and get away with the diamonds, though he seemed to want to stay out of it completely.

Pink, who stayed out of the fray, leaves with the diamonds. He may be arrested upon leaving the warehouse by the police officers who have just arrived shouting can be heard following Pink's exit, followed by shots. Before the police enter the warehouse, a shot and bleeding Mr. White cradles Mr. Orange, who reveals that he is really a police officer. Orange repeats again and again that he is sorry. A devastated Mr.

White puts his gun to Orange's head. The police burst in and are heard off-camera urging Mr. White to put his gun down. As the camera remains tight on White's face, we hear him shoot Orange. The police officers react by firing on White, who is knocked back, out of the frame. The credits roll.

Blue: Killed by the police off-camera. He is never seen again after the opening scene and the "name assigning" scene. It is mentioned by Joe that he is "dead as Dillinger. Brown: Shot in the head while driving the getaway vehicle. He crashes, tries to get the car free the bumpers were locked up in the crash , then dies. Orange awakens and unloads his gun into Mr.

Joe Cabot: Shot by Mr. White in the Mexican stand-off at the end. White in the Mexican stand off. Though this is debated, the logical answer within the film is that Mr. White turned and shot him as he fell over. Watching the sequence in slow motion also shows this.

Though he doesn't die from this injury, a wounded Mr. White cradles his friend, Mr. Orange, in his arms, trying to console him, hearing the sirens outside. Orange revealed that he was actually a cop and says he is sorry.

White, realizing that he just killed two of his best friends to protect a new friend who was in fact a cop, is overcome with emotion, pulls out his gun, places it against Mr. Orange's head and pulls the trigger. White: He is first shot by Eddie in the Mexican stand-off, and the police storm the warehouse just in time to see Mr. White putting the gun against Mr.
