God, I never get tired of that film. My favourite character is Floyd (played by Brad Pitt) he's just stoned all the time! Anyone who hasn't watched this, do so immediately!

I saw it for the 1st time last night :o

It was a pretty decent film. I shall be watching it again. :thumbsup:

My mum used to have this huge poster of it in the hall of our old flat. It was cool. She also had one of 'A Clockwork Orange' which used to worry me a little.

I missed it but I have it on DVD....the part Gary Oldman plays is pure brilliance!

Is deadly with a sink?

You can't beat the scene with Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper, especially when Walken does that unhinged laugh when Dennis Hopper has told him about why Scicilians have dark hair and dark skin. Pure Genius.

Trying to find out what the music is (it's the same one on the BA advert), so if anyone knows let me know.

The Flower Duet from the opera Lakme
or in the original language...

"Sous le dôme épais où le blanc jasmin" from the opera Lakmé

I love it, from start to finish its such a cool film.

My favourite bits are when christopher walken kills whatshisface and the beginning scenes when they meet each other.

Patricia Arquette is brilliant, shes so sexy and cute. And I love that guy who plays elliot.

The only thing I was cross with was when ITV introduced it, they said, "True Romance, starring Christopher Walken, whatshisface (what IS that guys name?) and Brad Pitt!" No mention of Patricia, and STARRING Brad Pitt! He has four scenes!

Dennis Hopper?
Christian Slater?
Gary Oldman?

Think it must be dennis hopper (the dad?) same guy as the baddy in speed.

What part does gary oldman play? I dont remember him in it?

correction after re watching it is actually the lid of the cistern....class lass! :thumbsup:

Great film, the DVD's got a couple of good commentaries on it. One by Quinten Tarrentino who wrote it and the other by Tony Scott who directed it. It's interesting listening to their opinions on the end of the film.

Speaking of whose in it, did you spot Val Kilmer and Samuel L. Jackson?

True romance is the story of Mr White before Reservoir dogs of course Tarrantino wrote stuff :rolleyes:

Also if I remember correctly Tarantino threw - quite rightfully so IMHO - a hissy fit over Stones directing of Natural Born Killers. if Stone had listened to Quentin it would have been an entirely different film.

Mr White eh? I didn't pick up on that, but now i've got a great excuse for watching both of them again ;)

It is a give away in reservoir dogs.

Can't remember all the names there now :blush: where Mr White goes in to see the BIG boss. And BIG boss asks him how Alabama is :thumbsup:

Well, I learned something today :)

Mr White was not in True Romance - but there is a link

The reason Alabama is mentioned in Res Dogs is that in the orginal ending Clarance dies, and Tarantino planned that Alabama would turn to crime after that....she would have become a partner in crime to Mr White - although Mr White was not present in True Romance. That is the reason for the quote, but became irrelevant when the ending of the film was altered to make it a 'happier' one.

In this same way Jack Scagnetti is mentioned in Dogs, but never appears - Scagnetti being the cop who takes down Mickey & Mallory in Natural Born Killers.

Isn't there some mention of guys from Dogs in Pulp fiction too...I seem to remember some references but can't remember who

Biggest link in Pulp Fiction is that Mr Blonde is Vic Vega, and Vincent Vega (Travolta) is his brother.

as for more trivia..

The innocent bystander shot by Marsellus Wallace is the same actor pulled out of her car by Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs

When Butch is approaching his apartment, there is an advertisement for Jack Rabbit Slim's on the radio. An ad for "Jack Rabbit Slim's" can also be heard during the torture scene in Reservoir Dogs

Fabienne says, "Any time of day is a good time for pie." Alabama also says this in True Romance (1993), also written by Quentin Tarantino.
