Oliver Harper. The man knows how to make a retrospective!

[@CybershamanX]

I think Oliver should start a movie trailer company. :)

[@Briggadoon]

Hey Mr. Harper i am a big fan of your Retrospectives! But till this day i wonder why you havent made a retrospective of "Ronin" (1998) one of the best films of the 90s (maybe ever). I really hope you are reading this and maybe you are fixing this in the (near) future. Cheers Briggadoon

[@jeffphillips1832]

Mikeymegamega Indeed he does. And he picks my kinda movies too. Real guy stuff, no "chick flicks" or g rated stuff.

[@theprimagen]

mikeymegamega you speak the truth!

[@rvaughan1523]

A year before my dad passed away, he wanted to take me (who was 10 at the time) to go watch this in the theater. We didn’t get a chance to see it there but did rent it and watched it and my 10 almost 11 year old brain almost exploded by how cool this movie was! It’s still one of my all time favorites and always reminds me of my dad! The dialogue is a awesome, witty and sharp like Oliver says! Thanks for the review! Great behind the scenes info!

[@PushYourEdge]

totally feel the same man lol. I saw this when I was 8 with my dad the year it came out. i remember we watched it home. and remember having no idea it was a vampire movie till the vampires popped off lol but also I always too think of my dad when I think of this movie

[@cloudtx]

One of my all-time favorites. The perfect mix of comedy, charm, horror and action. A unique movie in that regard.

[@rickb9745]

Same here. I think i'm obsessed with this surreal and fascinating film as i keep watching it often.

[@pest174]

@@rickb9745 me too! I find myself watching this movie at least once every year.

[@rickb9745]

@@pest174 @_ 3nekos Yeah!!, i love the semi realistic atmosphere in the south border with Mexico mix of modern American western and ancient Mexican prehispanic cultures in a world inhabited by bikers, truckers, repentant shepperds, thiefs, and vampires which makes the movie evoke magic; it's soo surreal. And to me the most special part and fun is when Jacob tells the crew that they just arrived to my favorite bar ever: The Titty Twister. The energy the director infuses; the atmosphere inside and outside the bar is so contagious. And Cheech Marin shouting out nasty stuff at the bar entrance is hilarious. There's a camera take from director Rodriguez where Cheech is rambling frantically in front of the camera and the bar shows in the background sooo infused with energy with the multicolor neon lights and flames coming out the roof which I find genius. It's like the bar is alive. I love the camera work by director RR. And I think QT's energy and influence adds up greatly to the overall film.

[@EvilDick1995]

The way I saw it, I never really believed that Richie actually thought the cashier was blowing their cover, and was purposely lying to Seth just so he could see him die.

I was a huge Quentin Tarantino fan when I watched this at the cinema, had no idea what it was about and the second half came out of nowhere and was a MASSIVE suprise. Still one of my favourite cinematic memories.

[@stuv1996]

Yeah I never heard of it and my friend wanted me to watch it, when we started it I thought I was gonna be so bored because I didn't care much for crime movies, then it surprised the shit out of me like nothing else really has. I wish more movies did that.

[@jdchatelain222]

Its all about the George and Quinten chemistry in this flick. First half is so addicting, lol!

I believe you but how could you be a big Tarantino buff and not know? lol I mean even my friend had seen the TV spots before we went and he a casual film fan. Not to mention all the posters and stand ups at the theater. I wish I hadn’t known, would’ve made it even better lol

I didn't even know it was a vampire movie the first time I saw it, never saw the trailers, so kinda assumed it was another natural born killers

[@6thsavage]

When I was in highschool I made a bunch of my friends watch this. It was early 2000's, so back in the day where you go into a movie blind with the exception of info from TV trailers which none of them had seen. The sudden emergence of all the vampires (particularly the band) caused a hilarious reaction from everyone who expected a Reservoir Dogs style flick.

[@lukecage9836]

I generally do not like George Clooney, but he was awesome in this movie. I recently bought this classic on Bluray. Love how the first half seems like a Tarentino crime drama, then enter the vampires and the Rodriguez action horror flick at the end.

That's the perfect combination of both directors)

[@lordmithras47]

Nothing like ending a monday with a retrospective of one of my favourite movies. Thank you for all the good work.

[@gutz1981]

Back in the lat 1990's after I had moved to Greece, me and my brother came across this Harley Rock bar that played quotes from this movie (Especially the Pussy speech) and music and the bar was decorated in rock and biker themes and felt just like this. The dude behind the bar looked just like Danny Trajeo and dressed like him. There was a jail cell in the back where we would gather with women and make out (At least the cool people did, I had my chance but blew it as I was just 18 and too shy to make any moves. REGRET) We all eventually became friends with the owner and would hang out together and stay there from 9pm till 9am in the morning watching the sun rise. Many a nights I would share a bottle of bourbon with bikers who invited us to their table just because we were friends with the owner who had a kick ass Harley. It was the best place me and my brother ever went to and we did for three four years until it was closed. Those times are gone and never coming back. But the photos and memories remain. The place was called 'Bookers' and it was the best rock back I ever had visited. This film will always remind me of Jimmy and Akis and George and Christina and all the girls.

[@rickb9745]

Nice real life story. I even wish the Titty Twister existed. The coolest bar ever.

[@grubbygrubb7059]

This movie brings back so many memories for me. As a teenager, me and a bunch of my friends rented this, and me being the film buff I am, I was the only one that knew this was a vampire movie. We had dropped acid before the movie started and when Salma 1st transforms into a vampire, my friends thought they were hallucinating because of the crazy shift in tone and, of course, the acid. I had to calm them down and explain that it was all part of the movie. Once again, another excellent job Ollie!!

[@Cliff537]

I was rewatching this literally the other night, one of my favorites. It's such a weird movie but somehow it works. This is probably my favorite George Clooney performance he's just so goddamn cool.

[@deankmuncie]

As others have stated, I had no idea it was a horror movie when I went to see it in the theatre and was pleasantly surprised with the overall movie. At the time I only knew Tarantino from Reservoir dogs and Rodriguez not at all. The soundtrack quickly became one of my favorites as it included Cheech Marin's speech's from the movie dialogue, when seems to be a staple of Tarantino films as Pulp Fiction also included film dialogue on it's soundtrack as well. It is one of my favorite horror movies, not only because of my above reasons, but also because of the inclusions of Tom Savini and Fred Williamson, who I enjoyed long before this came out.

[@iidirectxii7545]

Still the best "WTF movie" in my book's.

[@Avarn388]

Excellent retrospective, Oliver. You continue to be one of the best film based KZbinrs out there and really, I do sincerely wish you reach a 100K subs as you sir deserve it. This film to me is a masterpiece. Does it have flaws? Yeah, the tonal shifts between the more serious moments to the campy, goofy moments is there. But man; I do love it. And made me fans of Tarintino, Rodriguez and Clooney.

Great review on this, Oliver.

[@lupo1185]

Great as always! One of my all time favourites, however one thing you might have mentioned: There was an original filmposter painted by Fank Frazetta (Rodriguez is a huge fan of his classic Fantasy-Art), however the studio decided to use a generic poster, focussing on the cast (Clooney mostly). I really like the orignal artwork, totally fits the whole movie (and theme)

[@marsupius]

lupo1185 I can totally believe they would do something boneheaded like turn down a Frazzeta poster. Modern studios have no clue when it comes to movie posters.

[@dschesters]

Sorry but the poster was a commissioned piece, done quite a while after, what is odd is that the original poster was done by legendary poster artist Graham Humphreys but he has so little time to work on it it, it was just a photo comp in the end.

[@mikesgeekcorner]

On a related note, it's a shame Robert hasn't followed with his Fire and Ice-live action remake after seven years now. Here's hoping it somehow does reach fruition(along with his Escape From New York-remake).

[@lupo1185]

Dash dot dot - I've a Frazetta-Artbook lying around, featuring the picture and telling it was intended as being the poster beforehand but...who knows. Maybe it was somethimg in between and they were only thinking of possibly hiring Frazetta or so... mikethefanvoyable - I did not know that Fire and Ice-live action was even a thing...however I do not know if I really want to see that...however I'm quite sure I DON'T want to see a Plisken-Remake...there is only one Plisken!

[@mikesgeekcorner]

Fair enough. Still, I for one think there's good potential in either of these possible remakes. With Fire and Ice, Rodriguez has stated he wants to do with Frank Frazetta what he did with Frank Miller in Sin City. I find that very intriguing, especially considering how he and Frazetta were close friends. You should check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipellqyGar-ciM0 With Escape From New York, well, John Carpenter has given Robert his blessings with it, so, I think that should say plenty. That certainly wasn't the case with Rob Zombie.

[@GameplayandTalk]

Man, another fantastic retrospective. This one actually scared the crap out of me when I first saw it back in the day. I had no idea the second half was going to turn into a horror flick and so it really caught me off guard. I think the visual effects and CG were a lot more convincing back then as well, at least to my untrained eye. Now much of it hasn't aged the best and so it's easy to see how hokey it is. Great stuff though, as you mentioned the acting is superb and the humor is often smart. I need to watch this again soon.

[@DarinRWagner]

This is in my personal top-three favorite vampire movies (right up there with the original Fright Night and the Bela Lugosi Dracula film).

Ollie, i saw this when England had its first year of the celebration of cinema for over 100 years, yup when cinemas charged only £1 pound to go see a film in 1996! 1997 was an even crazier year but when i saw From Dusk till Dawn the first time they charged only a pound, it was in a super packed theater in London. TO SAY EVERYONE ENJOYED IT! Is an understatement to say the least! This is why it'll always rank as one of my best cinema going experiences, seeing a kick ass film with an excited audience, made the overall enjoyment 100x times moreso better at the end of the day. Again thank you very much, for the well researched review of the movie!

[@MGSBigBoss77]

From Dusk till Dawn is ranked in my top 4 or 5 movies of the 90's by far. With; Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Jurassic Park and The Matrix also being in there etc. Excellent review Oliver.

I remembber renting this from Blockbusters as an add on in a 3 film deal for a weekend. I didn't know what it was and wasn't so interested in vampire movies (still not) but I realised that it was tongue in cheek and had to watch it a second time to appreciate it fully.

[@claytonvon]

The soundtrack was recently re-released on colored vinyl with updated gatefold artwork illustrated by Matt Ryan! It’s pretty easy to find as I always see it in record stores

[@tylerskiss]

In and around 2000, while I was starting out, I had people showing interest in a screenplay I'd written that was a western horror. Many people commented how novel the idea was to mix two distinct genres and I got a big head about it. Eventually someone came along and heard me talking about it and said "oh, like From Dusk till Dawn?" and i was like ??... eventually I learned there were other films like Dust Devil and my idea was not nearly as original as I thought. I'm still proud of that screenplay, but I did shelve it for a few years and cursed Tarantino for stealing my thunder.

[@ntb4427]

I love your retrospective videos. I look forward to them

[@Anophathalm]

One of the finest retrospectives I have ever seen. I own From Dusk till Dawn on VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray. When I was a teenager this was my second biggest love in movies. I watched it regularly and even could speak the dialogue along, I just couldn't get enough of it. Still today one of my absolute Favorite movies and the best performance of Clooney ever put onto film, IMO. I never really was happy with the sequels, the game nor the TV Show but somehow repected it for having at least a place in the history of everything surrounding FDTD. I guess I watch it again tonight. My absolute favorite quote from the movie is still: Carlos: So, what, were they psychos, or... Seth: Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a fuck how crazy they are! Always gets me hahaha ^^

[@builtforsin7494]

Fantastic retro review. One of my favorite Rodriguez's movies and some great dialogue written from QT (sic). IMO, no one writes better dialogue than him. Not a huge fan of the Machete movies but still good none the less. BUT love the Mariachi trilogy, Sin City and Planet Terror.
