- I've seen both of the Dogs films, and Reservoir Dogs was by far the
- better (IMHO). Now, don't get me wrong - I liked Man Bites Dog, but I didn't
- think it was that great. There were some very nice touches such as the postmen
- (Oh, possible spoilers follow by the way) and the night watchman and the
- discussion of how much you need to weigh down various bodies. However, in RD
- the story was tighter and there was more excitement.
- Basically I regard RD as a complete classic whilst Man Bites is just
- very good. By the way - before anybody points it out I understand the message
- Man Bites is trying to get accross, concerning the media's facination with
- True Crime (Tm).
- As an aside why wasn't Man Bites Dog called He Comes To Our House,
- which is my (probably bad) translation of the French title "Il arrive a chez
- nous"?
