Better known by his code name Mr. Blonde in the movie Reservoir Dogs by Quentin Tarantino, Vic Vega is definitely one of the characters you can’t really forget. He’s also related to The Pulp Fiction character Vincent Vega, who has played by John Travolta.

Before the movie starts, he was actually a recently released prisoner. As he served a few years that he didn’t have to. But the condition of freedom was to name Joe Cabot as a ring leader, which he refused to do so.

But he was definitely the wild card in the group as he caused a lot of death and destruction that could have been avoided. And the cherry on top of his evil was kidnapping a cop and torturing him.

He doused him with gasoline and almost set him on fire. But he was thankfully shot by Mr. Orange who was the surprise undercover cop who could not stand to see Mr. Blonde treat another police officer that way. His brother dies in a similar way in Pulp Fiction, being gunned down by a surprise enemy.
