The boys in the black ties are back in town once again. RESERVOIR DOGS is getting the 15th Anniversary treatment and will be swinging its way into region one stores from October 24th, 2006.

Four perfect killers. One perfect crime. Now all they have to fear is each other. Assembled to pull off a diamond heist, a specially selected group of thieves begin to doubt one another when the police arrive suspiciously early at the scene of the crime. Quentin Tarantino reached cult-stardom with Reservoir Dogs, a masterful showcase of a solid, colorful ensemble of characters, dramatic empathy for usually unsympathetic archetypes and gory violence subdued and made watchable by a sadistic sense of humor and style. Michael Madsen delivers one of the most frightening performances ever seen in modern cinema as Mr. Blonde, a devil-may-care sociopath. Meanwhile, Harvey Kietel and Tim Roth give the film its most touching edge, as Kietel's Mr. White develops a very paternal relationship with the mortally-wounded Mr. Orange (Roth), creating trust and bridging a promise to protect him at any cost—a predicament he ultimately faces. The cast is rounded out with equally remarkable performances by the likes of Steve Buscemi, Laurence Tierney and the late Chris Penn as this drama eventually hits a crucial peak, leaving you with an unforgettable climax.

To co-incide with the release of the movie on DVD, Lionsgate are also releasing the RESERVOIR DOGS video game!

Lionsgate has partnered with Eidos for an all-new multi-platform video game that will be released timed to the DVD. Available for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Xbox® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PC, the game gives you the opportunity to play through the events of the film - leading up to and following the break down of the heist - from the perspective of each character. Truly bringing the movie to life and featuring the voice of Madsen, gamers get to experience those parts of the film that were only suggested as they delve further into the world of Reservoir Dogs and find out what happened at the diamond store. Rated M for Mature by the ESRB, the video game will be available day and date with the DVD on October 24 for the suggested retail price of $29.99 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions and $29.99 for the PC game.
