I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Blistering performances.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I've seen this long ago on German TV in a well synchronized version which is unfortunately not available as DVD.Which I remember best is the cool acting of Grace Jones as "Sonya", (kind of a black 'Red Sonja' in a business suit) the secretary of "I. G. Farben" Dennis Hopper. She did all the needful things for him starting from looking sexy up to execution of his will (he plays a good father like role) by means of a machine gun.If You are in a too serious analytical mood, You wouldn't have much fun with this. But if You are in the mood for some surrealistic fun, than this is it, just like some of the stuff Jim Jarmusch has done.Don't expect this move to make sense, just go with the flow; which could eventually mean to take a run ;-)

This film has two of the greatest music icons in the history of the world in it. I am talking about Joe Strummer (of the Clash and Mescaleros) and Shane MacGowan (of the Pogues and Popes). So in that regard, you have to give it a 10. However, if you are not a Clash or Pogues fan, you will most likely think this film sucks! Why? Because the film sucks. But wait a minute, you just said that you have to give it a 10? Right (voice in head), I did say that and I did give it a 10. Because Joe Strummer and Shane MacGowan are my two favorite musicians of all-time. So, they earn this thing a 10. Now, you raise a good question (voice in head), what if Strummer and MacGowan were not in this film? Well, I would probably give it a 1. Oh yeah, the story. Some people rob a bank and then go to hide out in this strange and isolated city in the Spanish countryside. There are violent and weird people that live there. So staying alive and holding on to the money will be difficult. Did I mention that this film has Joe Strummer and Shane MacGowan in it? Yeah, I gave it a 10, but, it really wasn't a good....you know what I am getting at?

This movie gets better everytime I see it. At first viewing I was unsure what to think, but it has quickly become one of my favorite comedies. See where Tarantino ripped the Jules character for pulp fiction from. See Carl the wiener boy rise up against his oppressors and become a man. Plus the damn Pougues are in it to. All of the actors involved, Sy Richardson, Dick rude, and the late great Joe Strummer all nail thier parts and Courtney love bugs like only courtney love can bug. If you like wacked out original comedy and you're a fan of the Simpsons or Family Guy than this movie is for you.

Picked up the DVD of this for £4.49 and it's worth every penny. Not only is this film a better spoof of westerns than Silverado but it contains enough weird and wonderful characters to give Lynch a run for his money.Firstly you have got the superb Sy Richardson as Norwood(Tarantinos inspiration for Samuel L's Pulp Fiction character?), Joe Strummer as Simms(RIP), and the 'runt' Dick Rude completing the main trio. Also popping their heads round Alex Cox's casting room door are: Courtney Love(pregnant Velma), Fox Harris, Kathy Burke, Edward Tudor Pole, Dennis Hopper (IG Farben), Grace Jones, Jim Jarmusch, Miguel Sandoval(Eastwood impression), Xander Berkley(priest), Elvis Costello(butler) and the Pogues(Mcmahon coffee gang)...Superb!! There is also the great setting of Almeira, the funny costumes, Pray For Rain music and the priceless dialogue(regional dilects etc). So stop criticising and just enjoy yourself in Cox country!!
