A frequently cited comparison has been to Tarantino's second and more successful film "Pulp Fiction", especially since the majority of audiences saw "Reservoir Dogs" after the success of "Pulp Fiction". Comparisons have been made regarding the black humor in both the films, the theme of accidents, and more concretely, the style of dialogue and narrative that Tarantino incorporates into both films. Specifically the relationship between whites and blacks plays a big part in the filmsthough underplayed in "Reservoir Dogs". Stanley Crouch of "The New York Times" compared the way the white criminals speak of black people in "Reservoir Dogs" to the way they are spoken of in Scorsese's "Mean Streets" and "Goodfellas". Crouch observed the way black people are looked down upon in "Reservoir Dogs", but also the way that the criminals accuse each other of "verbally imitating" black men and the characters' apparent sexual attraction to black actress Pam Grier.
