I wasn’t keen on the design of some of the characters when they changed into vampires. He gave my teenage self and my friends so many quotes in this film. I think Clooney deserves a special mention, he’s never done anything like this since but he was superb in the lead role. Santanico Pandemonium and her dance, still as good today as it was back then from Salma Hayek. That soundtrack, I’ve got it on my iTunes and there’s some real kick ass songs on there. The sudden change in the film from gangster to vampire is amazing upon first viewing. The gore, there’s loads of splatter vampires. The actors, sure there’s some cheesy lines but I’d watch any film that had Clooney, Tarantino, Juliette Lewis, Harvey Keitel, Salma Hayek, Danny Trejo, Cheech Marin (times three) and Tom Savini in it. I love the whole tone and action in this film it’s nonstop from beginning to end and packed with great although somewhat cheesy quotes. Most of all we get blood and gore, the film is packed with it and it splatters everywhere.Īs the night drags on we lose certain characters to the vampires and the survivors must fight their way out or live until the morning. We get Tom Savini as Sex Machine a man who fights with a whip and a cock gun, we get Frost who’s a Vietnam vet and a total bad ass. The films turns into a huge battle for survival as the brothers and family unite with some of the patrons of the bar to fight the crazy vampires trying to eat them. In typical style Seth enters the bar by beating some people up, inside there’s violence, alcohol, naked women and as we soon find out vampires. The group pull in at a bar called the Titty Twister, we are greeted to the now famous pussy speech. Now for people that haven’t seen this film it starts out as a sort of gangstery type film but once the group get over the border it changes drastically. The cast of this film is strong with Harvey Kietel playing a preacher who’s questioning his faith after the death of his wife, he’s joined by his daughter played by Juliette Lewis and his son. 
The way they decide to do that is to take a family hostage and use their RV to get across the border. The aim of the brothers is to get across the border to Mexico and meet up with one of Seth’s connections and buy their way into a safe haven. George Clooney is cool as they come as the more level headed of the brothers, Quentin Tarantino plays the psycho brother to perfection. We first see them in a liquor store and things quickly go bad when the more psychotic of the pair loses it and starts shooting people.
This film starts off at the same tone and pace it ends with, we’re introduced to Seth and Ritchie, two brothers on the run after a robbery. Robert Rodriguez conned her into thinking that Madonna was ready to nab the part instead so Hayek spent two months with therapists to overcome her fear. Naturally when she read the script, she knew her phobia would prevent her from taking the part. Trivia – Salma Hayek has a real fear of snakes and had always refused to be near them. Special Effects Technician Robert Kurtzman asked him to write a screenplay based on his story in return for providing the ear-slicing scene in Reservoir Dogs (1992).
Trivia – The first script that Quentin Tarantino was paid to write, for the mere sum of fifteen hundred dollars.
