How many times have you done this, Duane?
Duane:
[mumbles]
Ha?

How many times? Ten? Five? Fuck, once? Shit... so how was it?

I'll never forget it.

Alternate Versions
UK cinema and video versions were cut by 37 secs with heavy edits to a handcuffed naked woman being raped and a shot of a girl being attacked during the animated scene on the motel television. The cuts were waived in 2006. See more »
"Perdita Durango"(1997)made by Alex de la Iglesia is a perfect mix of sex and violence.The film is well-made and interesting-the action is fast and there is plenty of nasty violence on display.The acting is very good-Rosie Perez shines as a rough Perdita and Javier Bardem is equally memorable as her companion Romeo.There are also some moments of black humour which make the film easier to watch.All in all I enjoyed "Perdita Durango" and you should too,if you're a fan of Iglesia's works.However I still think that "Accion Mutante" and "The Day of the Beast" are better movies.My rating:7/10.
