When scenes become as iconic as Reservoir Dogs’ ‘Stuck in the Middle with You’ cop torture one we tend to imagine that they must have been carefully orchestrated.

This is far from the case though, as Michael Madsen explained when he reunited with the cast and director Quentin Tarantino at Tribeca Film Festival this weekend.
