Review of Straight to Hell (1987) by Conradilius V — 21 Feb 2008

This movie ROCKS! I'm certain that Tarantino based Samuel Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction on Sy Richardson's performance in this film. Joe Strummer (the late singer of the Clash) made this film because he couldn't get the money to play a concert in Nicaragua to support the Sandanistas, so he packed up to a ghost town in Almería to make a film about bandidos and Bankrobbers.

Lots of Rock stars! Courtney Love, Grace Jones, the Pogues, Pray for Rain, et al. A goofy as f*** plot that kept me laughing the whole way through. I also thought it was amusing that they were in Spain, throwing the old Pesetas around, but the gangsters were wearing mariachi outfits!
