Yeah, that's not a reference to Reservoir Dogs. I read some interviews with Steve Buscemi and he mentioned that at a test screening of his film he heard a teenager mention to his friend, 'I liked the R.D. reference with the men in suits'. The fact is they were just normal people, not even extras. It was just a coincedence. At the time of the test screening he was having problems getting the movie distributed since the studio were unhappy with some of the film (especially the ending), and when he heard that he just shook his head thinking they're not getting this film.

I must admit I thought exactly the same thing, it was when he was driving, I thought that the streets and everything looked the same. Then the guys in the black suits were walking down the road like Harvey Keitel and Tim Roth before they hijack the car and Mr Orange gets shot

When I was in high school, I also thought it was intentional.
