I actually just saw this film for the first time about 2 months ago. Man, what a piece of work. Totally exceeded all my expectations.

One of may favorite films ever. The climactic shootout at the end is a tad over-the-top, but it's small potatoes considering everything else. The scene between Walken and Hopper is one of the single greatest scenes in the history of ever.
Why didn't Tarantino direct this and Natural Born Killers?
I think Tony Scott did a good job with True Romance.
Tarantino's script for Natural Born Killers was so different from Stone's shitfest that it would basically be a completely different movie.
i think i heard somewhere that originally true romance and natural born killers were one big screenplay that tarantino then broke apart for two movies. anyone else know more about this?

I like Samuel L. Jackson's 3 lines. I was expecting him to play some huge role.
"I'd eat the pussy and the butt" 15 seconds before he gets peppered by an insane Gary Oldman (in dreadlocks, lol).
This has to be one of the best movies ever.

I think he had to sell the scripts in order to get the $$ to make Pulp Fiction.

Yea, I've heard this too. I guess it would have been like "Pulp Fiction", with the two plots weaving around each other?
i think the only movie christian slater is good in

One of those "Holy Shit" movies when you first see it meaning when you are watching it you think "holy shit, I can't believe how good this movie is!". Excellent dialogue, great characters, suspense throughout...one of my 4-5 go to movies when I'm bored and want to watch a movie.
