The tough guy dialog continues throughout, the gore level is astounding, and we see via Kate- the preacher's daughter, played by Juliette Lewis- that sometimes a p***ed-off virgin with a crossbow can more than hold her own. All of this can- and *will*, given the right attitude on the part of the viewers- read as a loving high-five to 70s zombie flicks, a homage to the campy fun of those movies. Out of nowhere, it becomes all too clear that these two bad, bad men are not by a longshot the baddest in *this* bar. It's humming along like a typical Tarantino picture, and then- BOOM. Murphey, Meir Teper, Gianni Nunnari Release Date (Theaters): wide Release Date (Streaming): Runtime: 1h 28m Distributor. From there it takes a turn that many seem to find infuriating but I personally find highly entertaining. Director: Scott Spiegel Producer: Michael S. They're supposed to meet a partner at a bar called The Titty Twister, and once they get there madness ensues. Along the way they pick up a preacher played by Harvey Keitel and his two kids. George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino are the Gecko brothers, two bad, bad men on their way to Mexico.

Do you agree? What did you think of this film? Did you know about the twists beforehand or did you watch the film without watching any trailers? And where do you rank this film next to the other films you've seen from Robert Rodriguez? The cast was great too, Harvey Keitel, George Clooney, Juliette Lewis, Fred Williamson, Cheech Marin (x3 lol), Danny Trejo, Salma Hayek, Tom Savini, with small roles from John Hawkes, Michael Parks, John Saxon & the late Kelly Preston. But a sequel with Clooney & Juliette Lewis could've been pretty cool IMHO. I enjoyed the sequel that came out later with Robert Patrick, which is a bit more like Near Dark (1987) tbh. He's been great in many roles over the years since this film but he was so damn cool in this role, wish they could've brought him back for a sequel. I never get tired of rewatching this film, so quotable, it's still one of my favorite films from Robert Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino, I think Seth Gecko is not only one of my favorite Tarantino characters but easily my favorite Clooney role, hands down, even now. I know some didn't like the vampire twist but I didn't mind it at all. Then the bats come swarming into the elevator and start attacking Pam, while some of them start chewing through the elevator cable. ![]() Not just one of my favorite movies of the 90s but one of my favorite horror films of the 90s, always loved the twist reveal in the second half, it's a shame that the trailers kinda ruined it because I think that could've been pretty shocking for most people that went in watching it without knowing much if anything going in. ![]()
