Mr. Blonde


I have seen my fair share of horror monsters, ruthless killers, and complete psychopaths. But one pure born killer that I will never forget goes by the name of Mr. Blonde.  Mr. Blonde is one of the main characters in the movie Reservoir Dogs directed by Quentin Tarantino made in 1992.  The plot of the movie revolves around a jewelry robbery gone arie and the movie focuses on finding out who ratted them out.  One thing is for sure though it was not Mr. Blonde, in the beginning scene of the movie we see Mr. Blonde blasting away the boys in blue like it is his day job and even does away with a couple innocent civilians.  The real turning point of the movie though is when Mr. Blonde goes from an ordinary killer, into a complete psychopath when he turns on the radio to the song “stuck in the middle with you” by Stealers Wheel and decides to have a little fun with one of the cops they captured for information.  As Mr. Blonde dances around to the song with a cigarette hanging from his mouth he slowly approaches the cop while singing along to the radio and begins cutting of the cops ear with a razor blade.  As the cop screams for him to stop he continues to dance around and laugh at the police officer like its one big joke.  When you finally think the torture scene is over, Mr. Blonde disappears for about a minute with the music playing for about thirty more seconds and than reappears on set holding a gas canister.  As the cop is crying with his ear cut off begging for him to stop Mr. Blonde proceeds to pour gasoline on him while still singing and dancing along to the song.  This scene has been forever burned in my head as one of the greatest created psychopaths I have ever scene.  Whenever I hear the song “stuck in the middle with you” this movie immediately comes into my head.
