Trivia:

The opening credit scene being reminiscent of Easy Rider (1969) was Quentin Tarantino's idea.

Goofs:

Continuity: Assuming the person that was with The Deuce at the Cherokee Kisum killing on July 4th, 1975 was Billy Wings, due to the accent ("Deuce, She's Gott'a Burn"). Billy Wings would have been at least 50 years old in 2008 (like Michael Madsen). Billy Wings character would have looked and acted much older than Vinnie Jones, who was born in 1965.

Quotes:

Eddie Zero:Now give me a hand with this. Cause I got things to go and places to do.

Movie Connections:

Featured in American Grindhouse (2010)

Soundtrack:

Hot Wind

This movie is so cool!

Or that's what the filmmakers would like you to believe, anyway.

This movie tries sooo hard to be cool it's ridiculous. Everything, from the look of the film, the cinematography, the editing, the dialogue and the acting, is geared in super cool mode from the get go. Just to make sure that no one misses how cool this film is, there's a soundtrack of really cool rock n roll tunes and a twangy western-surf-tex mex guitar playing constantly throughout the film. As a final reminder of how frickin cool this movie is, all the actors have been instructed to speak in a hoarse voice, because, as we all know, that's badass.

The plot (if there indeed is one) seems pretty straightforward. But as someone else already pointed out, the director and star of the film, seems fiercely determined not to tell that story, instead focusing on a plethora of naked babes and dialogue that's supposed to be badass, but grows tired surprisingly quick (did they have an contest to see how many times they could cram the words "pussy" and "f*ck" and its derivatives in an 80 minute film?).

This movie was absolutely horrible.
