It's even better in the original cut, following the chronology of Tarantino's script. Tony Scott butchered it in re-editing because he thought it would be too confusing to general audiences. There is a fan edit floating around that restores it as much as possible to its original state, and it's almost like watching a whole new movie. The scene where it transitions from flashback to their arrival in California gives so much more meaningful impact to the events before and after.

A lot of women did pass as men in the old west. It was the only way to travel safely. If not as men, then as teen boys. Of course, it depended on breast size, big breasted women could dress and act like men if they wanted too,, and were tough enough to pull it off, but could never pass as men. But the old west, or at any rate, California at the time, was relatively unstructured, people came there to be in a place where nobody knew them and the rules were still being made. They came there to reinvent themselves, in many different ways. (Isabel Allende's book "Daughter of Fortune" covers a lot of that territory.)

I've never seen a movie so on point for everybody from Tony Scott bringing in his usual beautiful cinematograpghy but backed by a great script this time by QT, all the actors are perfect for their parts.

Good grief!! Everytime I watch one of these old Siskel & Ebert shows, regardless of decade, it seems there are always two to three memorable to classic to cult films in the rotation!! It makes it seem like back then there were great films coming out week to week. Maybe there were. It doesn’t seem so much that way now, and there are so many more films hearing theaters weekly these days!! Back then you didn’t have the cute little indy houses in every city, and you didn’t have 16-20 screen monstrosities needing films. Back then, two screen, four screen, to maybe six or eight were the more norm. Maybe that’s why the movies had to be decent at least for the most part, just to get made, much less distributed.

She was in prison for 6 years, bailed out, finds a job, people couldn't afford it, and all she wants to do is to go and see her son, Patrick. When Atlanta crime boss Jack Schmidt (Terence Stamp) discovers her intention to go straight, he kidnaps her son to force her into one last job. Teaming up with an amateur (Val Kilmer), McCoy has to use all her cunning to pull off this heist and save her Patrick. I know that this movie is a failed opportunity when it borrowed from other caper movie, but, in my opinion, It was a decent film. Sorry, Siskel and Ebert, but I enjoyed "The Real McCoy" a little.

Sometimes he writes these memorable movements, and other times it seems like he just shits one out for a paycheck. Like I think he did great with the OST for 'Broken Arrow', for ex., which was very distinct; you hear that clean, country-Western baritone guitar riff once and it sticks with you; you always remember it as "the music from 'Broken Arrow'" (and also 'Scream 2' for some reason). But then there's like, say, the 'Black Hawk Down' OST, which sounds like every single generic score ever produced for films taking place in Africa: Brian Eno-like ambient keyboard + operatic North/East African vocals. All in all, nothing mentioned here--or anything else, for that matter--will ever truly top his finest work of all: the theme song from 'The Critic'.

@@parapoliticos52 Growing up in the 80's and 90's True Romance was one of those films that really surprised me. It made an impression. At the heart of it was this growing love between two lost souls who didn't know where they would end up, and when they found each other something sparked, something was electric and no matter the odds they weren't going to let it go. I don't know if it was the actors, the writer or the director but everything meshed in the right way. It was a love letter to movies and what movies can accomplish. This film along with Big Trouble in Little China will always be my all time favorites. Now I don't know or really understand your previous comment but like with all people stuck in a pandemic crisis resulting from our current administration's bungled response I will say peace and good luck to you.

I saw JLC when it came out and it was one of the most boring movies I've seen ever.

For various reasons Joy Luck Club reminds me of a female Bridge Over The River Kwai. I think the sweep of history and intertwined story lines are perfectly executed.
