If that's true, then tell me, 'Am I Lying?'

Required viewing. A modern masterpiece. The scene between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is absolutely classic(the last last line is what I quoted in my summary). A 'learn how to be cool' movie. It's funny, thrilling, sarcastic. He's got an imaginary friend...and it's ELVIS! The juice of Tarantino. The birth of Scaggnetti (and Tony Soprano.)Quotes are all over this flick. 'Do I look like a beautiful blonde with big tits, and a ^$#%#@ that tastes like ice cream?.....then why are you lying to me?" Choose a f$$$ing lane! Don't give me the finger,I 'll have you f###ing killed!" "I always liked you Clarence...." "The first time you kill somebody, that's hardest one....the second one ain't no f##### mardi gras, but it's still hard. The third one....you level off. ...Now I do do it just to watch there expression change.", James Gandolfini (Pre-Sopranos) showing raw talent as a cold-hearted killer. Brad Pitt hitting the bong and talking to shotgun wielding mafiosos with Soundgarden in the background..."You wanna hit?"....chick-chick(shotguns) "Ok, Well, you go down Santa Clara for a while, then turn left, and keep driving for a while...."It's true romance... He kills her pimp, and she takes a Royal beating for him. BUT the movies's not over. You have to have pulled some crazy s*** in your life to totally appreciate this movie, but it is awesome."When you get out in two years you'll be so in touch with wife needs cuz you'll know what's like to get f##### up the a##!"...Scagnetti"If it's anything this last week has taught me, is that it's better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it.""Tell me I'm the dumbest motherf##### you've ever seen, or I'm gonna pump two into your face right now!" ...ClarenceNon-stop action. Ups and downs. Irony, and a realistic ending. Cameos...up and coming actors... it's all here. And most of all, "True Romance", which I believe is a totally accurate title. Absolutely brilliant. A movie you can watch many times.You have to see this outstanding piece of work.

Fast paced n stylish movie with lottuva memorable scenes n amazing characters.

I first saw this in the late 90s on a vhs.Revisited the remastered director's cut recently.This movie has everything, romance, drama, action, shot gun blasting, terrific star cast n superb acting by Oldman, Slater n Arquette.Of course it has homage to Presley, Chibba n McQueen's Bullit.Oldman gave one of cinema's most brutal, scar faced villain. His dreadlock wig n contact lens from Dracula made him a very memorable villain inspite of having few mins role.The meeting n exchange of words between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is crazy n tension filled.The only scene i didn't like was when Patricia Arquette gets beaten but the way she fights back is 100 times better than most horror movie final girl act.She was gorgeous in this movie.

The movie is kind of all over the place, but it somehow works!

This film is about a guy who falls in love with a hooker and marries her. What a lovely story, taking this poor miscreant off the streets and showing her that he is willing to take care of her. Of course, you know everything is going to go without a hitch. Not really, from a crazed white pimp who thinks he is black to mob types to undercover cops this couple is going to have a really hard time getting to the honeymoon. The film has lots of violence, some sex, and inexplicably Bronson Pinchot who at the time was still most known as the lovable Balki from the television show "Perfect Strangers". Well here he plays a guy who gets caught by the cops with some white powder on his nose and it is not from a doughnut. The film's best sequence to me though was the Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper one. Great scene, I love how Hopper's character basically realizes what is going to happen to him so he does his best to insult Walken's character as a parting shot. Just wish both of them were in the movie a bit more, especially Walken who disappears from the film after this scene. I could have done without the Elvis ghost scenes, but aside from that I have a rather positive image of this movie despite the fact it is not something I typically care for.
