Ms. Blonde & Mr. Blue, Brown, Orange,White, Pink..Quentin Tarantino came out of nowhere and turned Hollywood on its ear in 1992 with his explosive first feature, Reservoir Dogs. In the special feature section of the DVD, Eddie Bunker, one of the actors in the movie, is interviewed while driving around in a convertible. At some point he states "Perseverance overcomes everything; luck, intelligence.. everything".
I had to think about this statement during a management offsite in Napa where I found myself sitting in a stretched limo, surrounded by Harvard MBAs, former CEOs, Novelists, and people who lived in hostile parts of Russia and Africa. For a moment I felt out of place - an ordinary guy from a small village in Europe. How did I end up sitting in this limo? I realized that it wasn't just luck and that it had something to do with perseverance. And at least some intelligence.. ;-)

This was a fantastic film and all the actors got the best limos available from one of the biggest limo hire companies
