Review of Straight to Hell (1987) by Stephen C — 26 Jun 2008
Made after a Drunken bet between the director and Joe Strummer ,Financed by future Working Title producer Eric Fellner on travellers cheques and featuring a cast of the Pogues,Elvis Costello,Jim Jarmuch and Courtney Love this has to be the most off the wall movie you will ever see.
Cox is a huge Spagetti Western fan and here on a small budget he has a ball paying tribute to them.
Some of the bad guys are addicted to Coffee,Dennis Hoppers role is named after the German Industry figure head who exploited the Jews in Wolrd War 2 And Joe Strummer looks like he has a permanent hangover.
Roundly hated by most I have a massive soft spot for this movie and feel its cultdom is long overdue.
