The first week of its release, Piper's Alley theater in Chicago placed a sign (that was technically illegal - parents are free to decide if their kids can attend movies that are rated 'R') on the ticket-booth window reading: "No-one under 18 will be admitted to 'Reservoir Dogs.'" - and then, underneath that, another note, as if in afterthought: "It is extremely violent." (This, as opposed to the "spaghetti"-like special effects Pauline Kael perceived in her review of "Dawn of the Dead," which she found reassuring in their silliness - which, nonetheless, won acclaim for effects maestro Tom Savini, and an unrated, all-but-unprecedented "No one under 17 admitted" stamp on the film in '79)
