Character Cage Match: Mr. White vs. The Lieutenant (Tarantino Week Edition)

Welcome to the first of five WAMG Character Cage Match special events, in honor of Quentin Tarantino’s newest film INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. The first match on the fight card pits Harvey Keitel against… well, himself. No, not really. It pits two of his characters against each other. (Get used to this, it’s gonna happen a lot this week.)

Both characters portrayed by actor Harvey Keitel, both characters were also introduced to the general movie-going audience in 1992. Mr. White of RESERVOIR DOGS from Quentin Tarantino. The Lieutenant of BAD LIEUTENANT from Abel Ferrara.

Stepping into the fully-enclosed chain-linked cage on your left is the calm, cool and collected Mr. White. Don’t let his ability to keep it together under stress fool you. Don’t ask him his real name, unless you want a bullet in your brain. He’s smart, suave and sophisticated, but he’s not afraid to get the job done when necessary. Prior to this Character Cage Match, Mr. White pursued a life of crime, working as a professional criminal along side a small gang of other well-dressed hoodlums loyal to him, ready to rumble at a moment’s notice.

Now entering the cube of carnage on your right side is the man without morals, the cop without a care, the legend known only as The Lieutenant. This seasoned protector of the peace has his own sense of justice, fueled by booze, drugs and women. He’ll stop at nothing to get his way and the cost is not an issue. If you don’t give him what he wants, he’ll just beat the Hell out of you and take it and that goes for the Cage Match Championship Belt as well. Don’t back The Lieutenant into a corner though, as he’s got the law in his side… well, sort of.

So, let the foul-mouthed cops and robbers melee begin! Who shall be the victor? Mr. White (RESERVOIR DOGS) or The Lieutenant (BAD LIEUTENANT) … you decide. Cast your vote by leaving a comment below and support your fighter of choice.
