Mostly free of genre tropes (Tarantino told Charlie Rose in 2010 that it was a вЂњMartin and LewisвЂќ sort of thing), the black-and-white picture sees Tarantino as Clarence, whoвЂ™s looking to do something for his best friendвЂ™s birthday.

Working from a short script by co-worker Craig Hamann (and with вЂњ Pulp FictionвЂќ collaborator, and fellow video shop employee Roger Avary also assisting), Tarantino helped to expand it into a full 80 page script, as well as acting in it alongside Hamann, and directing the micro-budgeted feature. Relatively well-known is the fact that Tarantino co-wrote and directed вЂњ My Best FriendвЂ™s BirthdayвЂќ in the late 1980s, while still working at Video Archives in Manhattan Beach. But itвЂ™s not quite the first film with the Tarantino touch. ItвЂ™s inarguable that вЂњReservoir DogsвЂќ was the script and film that exploded Tarantino onto the world scene.

вЂњReservoir DogsвЂќ technically isnвЂ™t the first Tarantino movie to be produced. And if you want to see it on the big screen again, it hits cinemas for one night only in December.ДЎ. To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, weвЂ™ve rounded up five facts that even the most dedicated Tarantinophile may not know about his debut. One of, if not the most influential films of the 1990s (not necessarily for the better, as anyone whoвЂ™s sat through the many copycats and knock-offs can attest), TarantinoвЂ™s thriller - which follows the preamble to, and aftermath of, a diamond heist that turns disastrous - was a breath of fresh air, and remains a taut, hilarious and curiously moving crime classic. But even in the months beforehand, his feature directorial debut, вЂњ Reservoir DogsвЂќ had already started to upend the American independent film movement but with tremendously well received screenings at Sundance, Cannes and Toronto. Prepare to feel very, very old indeedВ - twenty years ago today, on October 23rd 1992, вЂњ Reservoir DogsвЂќ was released in theaters, introducing the world to a 29-year-old video store clerk turned filmmaker with an encyclopaedic knowledge of film named Quentin Tarantino.
