Reservoir Dogs

[rut]

A friend and I have been having an argument about the end scene of Reservoir dogs, when the shooting occurs. We want to know how many of the original gang survive at the end. I thought the end was meant to be ambiguous, with the viewer not knowing whether more than one survives, but a friend says that only the one survives.

[Ginbottle]

All of the speaking parts in the film are killed except for Mr Orange's cop friend who is also the only black person in the film. None of the gang survives.

Ginbottle is correct. In the scene at the end when where Joe etc shoot each other, all are killed apart from Mr White (Harvey Keitel). As he is confessing to Mr Blonde (Tim Roth-the cop) you can hear outside Mr Pink's escape attempt which ends in a car crash and shoot-to the death. Then the final scene is again out of camera shot and by sound alone which is the sound of Keitel shooting Roth, then the police shooting Keitel.
