Writers: Quentin Tarantino, Roger Avary
Cast: Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman
Clarence marries Alabama, steals cocaine from her pimp, and tries to sell it in Hollywood, while the owners of the coke try to reclaim it.
This was Tarantino's first script and he sold it to fund Reservoir Dogs which came out before True Romance. Tarantino's original script was non-linear and had an alternate ending but on Tony Scott's behest it was changed. Great ensemble cast consisting of Gary Oldman, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Samuel L.Jackson, Brad Pitt and Val Kilmer as Elvis. Many of them giving their best performance in very small roles. It is worth watching just for the famous Walken-Hopper 'Sicilian Scene'. It is a violently funny film.
The non-linear fan edit version of the film is also floating about in the usual places in the internet for those interested.
Rating: 4.5/5
