Who shoots Nice Guy Eddie Cabot?

Question

In the movie Reservoir Dogs, who shoots Nice Guy Eddie Cabot?

It's been bugging me, and I can't figure it out.

There's a Mexican standoff. Joe is pointing a gun a Mr. Orange (who's gun is empty - he emptied into Mr. Blond). Mr. White is pointing at Joe. Eddie is pointing at Mr. White. The cop is already dead. Mr. Pink is trying to talk everyone down and not pointing at anyone.

Four shots are fired and everyone is on the floor, including Mr. Pink who crawls out from under the ramp, where he appeared to be hiding.

So, stands to reason, Eddie shot White, White shot Joe, Joe shot Orange.

I know that in the actual filming, Chris Penn (Eddie)'s blood squibs accidentally went off too early in the big stand-off scene, forcing him to fall to the floor. But he was obviously scripted to be shot, so it still doesn't explain who shot him?

Okay, answering my own question a bit here, but...

I just found an online copy of the original script that says:

Eddie FIRES at Mr. White, HITTING him three times in the chest.

Mr. White brings his gun around on Eddie and SHOOTS him.

The two men FALL to their knees, FIRING at each other.

So we know that's the way it was SUPPOSED to happen, but because the squibs went off early, it didn't go down that way. Do you think it's more believable that it was Pink or do you think it's more believable that White is a very fast shot and is able to shoot both Joe and Eddie in that short time frame.

Answer 1

You know, I though Mr. Pink shot him, this entire time. He was hiding back there, so I thought he shot Eddie so he could steal all the diamonds. Maybe I need to rewatch too .... my favourite part of that movie is when Mr.Orange is dying in Mr. White's arms and you can hear Mr. Pink getting shot to hell outside before the cops come in.

Answer 2

Nice Guy Eddie

Answer 3

So I know that this is 7 years old and I'm coming in a bit late, but I just thought I'd give my input. It never even bugged me for all the years I'd seen this until a few months ago it just kinda hit me, "who shot Eddie?" I watched and watched over and over and still REALLY wasn't satisfied, because I noticed about his blood pack exploding too soon (was unaware about the blooper until just a little bit ago) and that made it worse. But after reading this, I popped it in and watched it in slowmo, and sure enough, you can see White turning as he's going down and shooting Eddie. the useless facts we learn every day!

Answer 4

I think it's got to be either Mr. Pink Or Mr. Orange. Joe is pointing his gun at Mr. Orange, Mr. White is pointing his gun at Joe, and Eddie is pointing his gun at Mr. White. You cannot see what Mr. orange or Mr. Pink are doing. Personally, I think it was Mr. Pink.
