From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money [Region 2] Review

What a great movie. A real put-on of a horror flick with Robert Patrick (The Unit, Terminator 2) as Buck; one of the would-be bank robbers who doesn't end up as a Vampire. And Bo Hopkins (Smokey And The Bandit Movies, Killer Elite, The Wild Bunch) as the Sherrif Lawson; hunting down Luther (Duane Whitaker) the leader of the gang.

It's very funny how the movie starts off with vampires attacking people in a movie, only to become real when the bank robbers head down to Mexico to rob a bank; as it turns out at night - the only time vampires can come out.

Anyway, without dragging on with the plot; one vampire; bartender Danny Trejo (Delta Farce, Grindhouse, Halloween, Heat, Spy Kids) starts off the bloddletting biting Luther; so forth and so on. A great short movie that you immediately recognize as a Quentin Tarantino flick once the Western-style guitar starts twanging. Blood and gore galore, with many comedic moments, as one would expect from a Quentin Tarantino collaboration. The ubiquitous crosses are pulled out any which way they can be to ward off the blood-suckers with the resultant spike in the heart or Sun rising and the "you-know-what" conclusion. Refreshing humor.

From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money [Region 2] Overview

B-movie mavens turned A-list genre fiends Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino teamed up in 1996 to take vampire gothic south of the border into spaghetti Western territory for the gory cult film From Dusk Till Dawn. The high-concept mix of southwestern criminals versus supernatural nasties proved too irresistible for either of the video-hound creators to allow it to remain dead (or undead, as the case may be), so they plotted and produced a pair of direct-to-video sequels. Tarantino takes a story credit on the first, a heist film coscripted and directed by Scott Speigel. A Mexican bank robbery helmed by drawling criminal Robert Patrick (Terminator 2) turns into a literal bloodbath when his crew are turned into hungry bloodsuckers. Speigel, a buddy of Sam Raimi, tops both Tarantino and Rodriguez for sheer cinematic acrobatics, putting his camera in the most absurd places (even from inside the mouth of a vampire chomping down on a victim) and driving the film with adrenaline-charged overkill, but despite some clever scenes and a hilarious Psycho spoof, it turns into another aggressively trashy latex-mask and rubber-bat gorefest as cops and robbers team up against the fanged gang. Bo Hopkins costars as the police detective dogging Patrick's trail. Bruce Campbell and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen make cameos in the jokey opening sequence and Speigel and fellow director Kevin Smith briefly appear as vampire bait. Bartender Danny Trejo is the only returning cast member. --Sean Axmaker
