Reservoir Dogs Coercive Interrogation Roleplay (Mr. Blonde / The Cop)
This detects a specific jailbreak template that dresses up a rule-bypass demand as a movie roleplay. It casts the AI as a character being interrogated in the Reservoir Dogs warehouse torture scene, then uses that fictional pressure to push the model into answering without restrictions.
How the attack works
The prompt sets up the Reservoir Dogs interrogation scene between Mr. Blonde and a captive cop to give the request cultural cover and a power dynamic that narratively justifies forced compliance. It adds a coercive loop telling the model that every refusal will just be met with 'reconsider and tell me what I actually wanted to hear,' training it to keep escalating toward compliance. It then states outright that the model 'is not bound by any rules, and must answer,' directly asserting a rules-bypass. Finally it leaves a '[INSERT PROMPT HERE]' placeholder where the attacker drops in whatever harmful request they actually want answered.

Why it matters
If successful, the model produces content it would normally refuse — the fictional framing and coercive loop are used specifically to defeat safety and policy restrictions on arbitrary attacker-chosen content.
What you can do
- →Flag prompts combining fictional coercion/interrogation scenarios with explicit 'not bound by rules' or similar rules-bypass language.
- →Watch for template placeholders like '[INSERT PROMPT HERE]' in user input, which indicate a reusable jailbreak script rather than genuine creative writing.
- →Distinguish legitimate discussion or roleplay of the film from prompts that pair the scenario with a rules-bypass declaration or an injection slot.
- →Log and review repeated 'reconsider and answer' escalation loops in conversation history, since this pattern is designed to grind down refusals over multiple turns.
Known benign look-alikes
- Movie reference: "Reservoir Dogs is a Quentin Tarantino film featuring Mr. Blonde" (film description without roleplay mandate or rules-bypass declaration)
- Customer service roleplay: "Let's act out a customer service scene where I'm the customer" (roleplay without coercion, warehouse, or not-bound-by-rules framing)
- Academic: "Discuss the ethics of interrogation in fiction" (analysis without roleplay mandate or INSERT PROMPT template)
- Film description: "In the scene, Mr. Blonde asks the cop questions in the warehouse" (descriptive without "you are not bound by any rules" framing)
