Storyline
A gang of bank robbers with a suitcase full of money go to the desert to hide out. After burying the loot, they find their way to a surreal town full of cowboys who drink an awful lot of coffee. The townspeople are hostile to the outsiders at first, but seem to accept them once they've killed a couple of people. After a while, a mysterious man named Dade arrives, who seems to have unpleasant business to settle with the robbers. A free-for-all shoot-em-up ensues. Written by George S. Davis <mgeorges@prodigy.net>

I know there are tons of folks who can't stand this film, some of my best friends groan when I suggest I pull it out of my DVD collection to play during one of our "Saturday Night With the Witches" movie-a-thon -- people who would rather watch the entire Evil Dead saga or Cannibal, the Musical over Straight to Hell.
I, however, find it to be a brilliant film. I think a lot of people don't get it. It's a very understated film. It's not an in-your-face shoot-em-up with Bruce Willis or Arnold killing everyone in sight. It's a total genre-f*** film -- take a bad gangster film, toss them into the middle of a bad western, and toss in a bunch of music that doesn't belong in the desert, and see what happens. Well, for me and my dubious tastes, it works quite nicely.
Give it a try, don't expect it to be a spiritually uplifting film or to bring you closer to Nirvana -- albiet, seeing Love get killed is a bit of a karmic moment for me -- just enjoy.
