Two
sibling outlaw criminals known as the
Gecko Brothers named Seth (George
Clooney) and his sex crazed younger
brother Richard (Quentin Tarrantino) go
on a wild crime spree.
They kidnap a widower father named Jacob
(Harvey Keitel) and his two kids Kate
(Juliette Lewis) and Scott (Ernest Liu).
They all head south to Mexico where the
Gecko brothers force them to go to Mexico
at a trashy private strip bar that is in
service from dusk till dawn for truckers
and bikers to hideout from the police and
wait for a few of their people.
While they are there a riot breaks out
and realise that the pub is really a tomb
run by vampires.
They are all trapped there and one by one
are bitten and turned uinto vampires
themselves including Seth's brother.
However, Jacob is an ex-preacher and
tries to help the rest survive this
hellish place.

I love alot of Tarrantino
films as they involve gangsters etc
and usually puts alot of action in the
plots of his films.
This was in great taste and a great
summer vampire movie.
We get some comedy, action and terror all
wrapped into one.

The acting is
superb as George Clooney lived
to play this role and is truly
intimidating as his role the nasty Seth.
Quentin Tarrantino also knew how to
portray the sibling part well with his
sex crazed behavior too.
Harvey Keital was doing a good job
as a down and out preacher losing his
faith as he really showed a nice still
attitude to his role.
I always loved Juliette Lewis' performances
ever since I saw her in What's
Eating Gilbert Grape as she
really knew how to act caring in the
film.
We also get a supporting role by horror
make-up artist Tom Savini as a
sleazy tough guy who has great timing
with his part in it. What a treat!
Plus many cameos and special appearances
including 3 different roles by pothead
comedian Cheech Marin which all
of them were well remembered.

Many strippers in
a club are topless dancing.

Plenty of gore in
the film for all you gorehounds.
Heads are ripped off and so are legs plus
an arm.
When a vampiress is killed her eyes
explode and her skin melts.
Body pieces are laying around.
A vampire's heart is ripped out of his
chest.

The directing by Robert
Rodriguez is terrific. He knew how
to drive George Clooney and Quentin
Tarrantino to play well off
together.
He starts the film off impressively with
a dialogue in a liquor store between Michael
Parks as a Texas Ranger and John
Hawkes as a liquor store owner. Both
Clooney and Tarrantino do
well by holding their guns towards Hawkes
with nasty expressions.
There's many good shots on a gun war in
the liquor store that involved
Tarrantino, Clooney and Hawkes.
There's a great moment with Clooney
shooting some liquor bottles and then
lighting a roll of toilet paper then
throwing it.
There's a hilarious dialogue between Clooney
and Tarrantino walking away
from the store and it slowly starts to
explode.
There's a perfect dialogue between Juliette
Lewis about having faith in God
towards Harvey Keital in a diner
after the passing away of her Mom as he
does well by being stubborn about it all.
A great demanding attitude by Clooney
towards supporting actress Brenda
Hillhouse as the hostage telling her
what to do when he is in a motel with her
as she herself knew how to act spooked
out.
Tarrantino does well by inviting
Hillhouse over to sit on the bed
with her to watch some TV as she looked
good standing up acting stiff.
A great shameful expressionless look on
Clooney's face after when he spots
what has happened to the hostage.
A perfect shot on Clooney
grabbing Tarrantino to a wall
and acting forcefully aggressive towards
him.
Nice blocking with Clooney
punching Keital as well as him
putting a gun in Ernest Liu's mouth.
A good hallucination shot on Lewis
with lustful words. There's also nice
shots on Tarrantino just wanting to
sedice her.
We have a good dialogue between Liu and
Keital during a traffic jam
scene at the Mexican border about
confronting the police about being
kidnapped and Keital really
showed stern reactions not to.
Also he did great directing the club
scene with Cheech Marin hosting
the front of the club as there's
expecially a great camera shot looking up
at him while doing this and he looks into
the camera with wild eyed expressions.
There's also a great moment with Clooney
punching out Marin.
Danny Trejo does well showing a
menacing attitude as a bartender towards Clooney
when he tells him he is not qualified to
be at his bar.
There's a great setting with Clooney
performing a drinking game with Tarrantino,
Liu, Lewis and Keital
making it look like although they're
hostages they are there to party as well.
Rodriguez shows terrific dancing
routines by supporting actress Salma
Hayek as a stripper as it looks so
original.
Clooney was full of energy when he
starts to shoot his gun in the bar and
being threatening as the terror starts
with Hayek starting to act vicious and
attack Tarrantino which was well
paced too.
We have terrific blocking performed by Tom
Savini with his whips and other
devices battling out Trejo.
We have a nice shot on Savini approaching
behind Fred Williamson biting
him
A good dialogue with Clooney convincing Keital
to keep his faith for the battle with
great attitude and energy.
There's a good camera shot chasing after
Clooney as he runs into a storage
room.
Many good shots on all four actors Clooney,
Keital, Liu and
Lewis preparing weapons for the
battle.
Perfect blocking and camera shots on them
having a war with the vampires but of
course I don't wanna give out every
information to spoil it all but it was
full of suspense.
Clooney was great with Marin as he
plays a different character to why they
set a meeting at that pub which was quite
impressive and funny.
There's nearly a touching dialogue
between Clooney and Lewis
at the end of the film which gives it a
nice touch of direction.

The music is greatly
composed by Graeme Revelle with
lots of fast paced classical music during
the vampire attacks.
Also there's a great
soundtrack which suits a Tarrantino
film with old and current artists like Tito &
Tarantula, The Mavericks, The Leftovers,
ZZ Top, Jimmie Vaughn, Stevie Ray Vaughn
& Double Trouble, Joe Wayne and the
Blasters.

Seth:
I know that I have put you through hell,
and I know that I have been one rough
pecker. But from here on, you are all in
my cool book.
Seth:
I may be a bastard, but I'm not a fucking
bastard.
Seth:
All right, vampire killers... let's kill
some fucking vampires.
Seth:
Everybody be cool. YOU - be cool.
Seth:
So, what's the deal with you two, you a
couple of fags?
Jacob: He's my son.
Seth: Yeah, how'd that happen? You
don't look Japanese.
Jacob: Neither does he. He looks
Chinese.
Seth: Oh, well pardon me all to
hell.
Pete
Bottoms: Look, he comes in here
everyday. We bullshit, and he's used my
bathroom about a thousand times. If I
said no this time he'd know somethin' was
up.
Seth: Okay, I want him out of
here, in his car, and down the road or
you can change the name of this place to
Benny's World of Blood.
Earl
McGraw: Well, it's been one long
goddamn hot miserable shit-ass fuckin'
day every inch of the way.
Seth:
Well, your best better get a hell of a
lot fucking better, or you are gonna feel
a hell of a lot fucking worse.
Richie:
The Ranger's taking a piss. Why don't I
just go there, blow his head off and get
outta here.
Pete Bottoms: Don't do that! Look,
you asked me to act natural, and I'm
acting as natural - in fact, under the
circumstances, I think I ought get a
fuckin' Academy Award for how natural I'm
acting.
Sex
Machine: So what's your name,
darlin'?
Kate: Kate. What's yours?
Sex Machine: Sex Machine, pleased
to meet you.
[Richard
day-dreaming]
Kate: Richie, would you do me a
favor and eat my pussy for me... please?
Richie: Uhh... sure.
[On
his impending vampirization]
Jacob: I'll be a lap dog of Satan.
Kate:
What's going on?
Richie: We're having a wet bikini
contest, and you just won.
Seth:
[talking to Jacob Fuller about his
wife's death in a car crash] Died
instantly?
Jacob: Not quite. She was trapped
in the wreck for about six hours before
she passed on.
Seth: Whewww! Those acts of God
really stick it in and break it off,
don't they?
Richie:
Where are my glasses?
Seth: They broke when you fell.
Richie: Oh, fuck, Seth, that's my
only pair!
Seth: Don't worry about it, we'll
get you some glasses.
Richie: Whatdya mean, don't worry
about it. Of course I'm gonna worry about
it, I can't fuckin' see.
Seth: When we get to El Rey, I'll
take care of it.
Richie: Yeah, like a Mexican
hole-in-the-wall's gonna have my fuckin'
prescription.
Chet
Pussy: Pussy, pussy, pussy! All pussy
must go. At the Titty Twister we're
slashing pussy in half! This is a pussy
blow out! Make us an offer on our vast
selection of pussy! We got white pussy,
black pussy, Spanish pussy, yellow pussy,
hot pussy, cold pussy, wet pussy, tight
pussy, big pussy, bloody pussy, fat
pussy, hairy pussy, smelly pussy, velvet
pussy, silk pussy, Naugahyde pussy,
snappin' pussy, horse pussy, dog pussy,
chicken pussy, fake pussy! If we don't
have it, you don't want it!
Seth:
Shit, I been to bars make this place look
like a fuckin' 4-H club.
Richie: I gotta say I'm with Jacob
on this. I been to some fucked up places
in my time, but that place is fucked up.
Seth:
Now, is my shit together, or is my shit
together?
Richie: Your shit is forever
together!
Jacob:
Are you so much a fucking loser, you
can't tell when you've won?
Seth: What did you call me?
Jacob: Nothing. I didn't make a
statement. I asked a question. Would you
like me to ask it again? Very well. Are
you such a loser you can't tell when
you've won? The entire state of Texas,
along with the F.B.I., is looking for
you. Did they find you? No. They
couldn't. You've won, Seth, enjoy it.
Seth:
Fight now, cry later.
Santanico
Pandemonium: I'm not gonna drain you
completely. You're gonna turn for me.
You'll be my slave. You'll live for me.
You'll eat bugs because I order it. Why?
Because I don't think you're worthy of
human blood. You'll feed on the blood of
stray dogs. You'll be my foot stool. And
at my command, you'll lick the dog shit
from my boot heel. Since you'll be my
dog, your new name will be
"Spud". Welcome to slavery.
Seth: No, thanks. I've already had
a wife.
[shoots her]
Frost:
I came to my senses. I realized I killed
the entire V.C. Squad singlehanded. There
was blood... and chunks of yellow flesh
clinging to my bayonet. To this day, I
don't remember...
[Frost's story get's cut off when Sex
Machine bites him; Frost screams; bites
Jacob; eventually overpowers Kate and
Seth, but not before going toward Scott]
Frost: He fuckin' bit me! FUCKIN'
BIT ME!
Sex Machine: What are you gonna do
about it?
Frost: Come on, Sex Machine!
[Grabs Sex Machine and tosses him to
the front doors]
Seth: Oh... shit!
Kate:
Are you okay?
Seth: Peachy, Kate. The world's my
oyster, except for the fact that I just
rammed a wooden stake in my brother's
heart because he turned into a vampire,
even though I don't believe in vampires.
Aside from that unfortunate business,
everything's hunky-dory.
Seth:
Do you have a cross?
Jacob: In the Winnebago.
Seth: In other words, no.
Scott Fuller: What are you talking
about? We got crosses all over the place.
All you gotta do is put two sticks
together and you got a cross.
Sex Machine: He's right. Peter
Cushing does that all the time.
Seth: Okay, I'll buy that.
Jacob:
Has anybody here read a real book about
vampires, or are we just remembering what
a movie said? I mean a real book.
Sex Machine: You mean like a
Time-Life book?
Seth:
Okay hard drinkers, let's drink hard. I'm
buyin'.
Carlos:
What, were they psychos, or...?
Seth: Did they look like psychos?
Is that what they looked like? They were
vampires. Psychos do not explode when
sunlight hits them, I don't give a fuck
how crazy they are.
Kate:
Where are you taking us?
Richie: Mexico.
Kate: What's in Mexico?
Richie: Mexicans.
[after
Richard blows up Benny's World of Liquor]
Seth: Low profile. Do you know
what the words "low profile"
mean?
Seth:
[to Hostage Gloria] You. Plant
yourself in that chair.
Hostage Gloria: What are you
planning on doing with...
Seth: I said plant yourself.
Plants don't talk.
Seth:
Let me explain the house rules. Follow
the rules, we'll get along like a house
on fire. Rule number one: No noise, no
question. You make a noise...
[holds up gun]
Seth: Mr. .44 makes a noise. You
ask a question, Mr. 44 answers it.
Richie:
Shit, I started to get worried. Where the
fuck ya been?
Seth: Sight seein'.
Richie: What'd ya see?
Seth: Cops.
Seth:
So what are you, Jacob? A faithless
preacher? Or a mean motherfuckin' servant
of God?
Seth:
Do you think this is who I am? I am a
professional thief, I don't run around
killing people I don't have to.
Jacob:
I'm a mean m... m... servant of God.
Seth:
If you try to run, I've got six little
friends and they can all run faster than
you can.
Chet
Pussy: Attention pussy shoppers! Take
advantage of our penny pussy sale! If you
buy one piece of pussy at the regular
price, you get another piece of pussy of
equal or lesser value for only a penny!
Try and beat pussy for a penny! If you
can find cheaper pussy anywhere, fuck it!
Old
Timer: God damn you, God damn you...
what the hell you want?
Seth: What do you think I want,
you mean old bastard? I want a fucking
room.
Old Timer: OK, all right.
Jacob:
Every person who... chooses the service
of God as his life's work has something
in common. I don't care if you're a
preacher, a priest, a nun, a rabbi or a
Buddhist monk. Many, many times during
your life you will look at your
reflection in a mirror and ask yourself:
am I a fool? I'm not going through a
lapse; what I've experienced is closer to
awakening.
Sex
Machine: He ain't your brother no
more.
Seth: Well, that's a matter of
opinion and I don't give a fuck about
yours.
Seth:
I wish you the peace in death I could
never give you in life.
Kate:
Seth, should I save the last two bullets
for us?
Seth: No, use 'em on the next two
of these fucks that try to bite you!
Seth:
All right, ramblers... Let?s get
ramblin'.
Richie:
I told you he said help us.
Pete Bottoms: [screaming in
pain] I never said help us!
Seth: Well that doesn't matter
now, because you got about three seconds
to fucking live!
Richie:
"How's your hand, Rich?" It
hurts like a fucking son of a bitch,
thanks for asking, Seth!
Frost:
Come on, Sex Machine!
Scott
Fuller: Kill me, Kate.
Earl
McGraw: Jesus H. Christ, Pete. When
you gonna learn that microwave food'll
kill you faster than a bullet? I mean,
them damn burritos ain't good for nothing
but a hippie, when he's high on weed.
Seth:
Now, this is my kind of place.
Seth:
We did it. We're in Mexico! We're fucking
in Mexico you little piece of fucking
shit!
Seth:
Jacob, you're going to keep going down
this road until you get to DiGayo. When
you get to DiGayo, you're going to turn
this big bastard left, and go a couple of
miles until you see a bar called
"The Titty Twister." And to my
understanding, you cannot miss it.
Jacob: Then?
Seth: And then you stop, because
that's where were going.
Seth:
Why, out of all the God-forsaken
shitholes in Mexico, do we have to meet
here?
Carlos: One place's just as good
as another.
Seth:
I'm gonna kill every last one of you
godless fuckin' pieces of shit!
Sex
Machine: Now, let's kill that fucking
band.
Frost: I can do that.
Seth
Gecko: Now I'm gonna ask you one
question, and all I want is a yes or no
answer: Do you wanna live through this?
Seth
Gecko: You serve food here, Jose?
Razor Charlie: Best in Mexico.
Seth Gecko: I kinda doubt that.
[after
first entering the Titty Twister bar]
Seth Gecko: I could become a
regular.
Titty
Twister Guitarist & Vocalist:
Fuck you everybody, goodnight
[explodes]
Seth:
And if there is a hell, and those sons of
bitches are from it, then there has got
to be a heaven... Jacob, there's gotta
be.
Chet
Pussy: You know what they say about
me? I suck!
