Hayek Cheech Marin Fred Williamson Danny Trejo Directed by Robert Rodriguez

ACCESS: video/it also has been shown on independent cable channel ENCORE.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: this is very possibly the most demented, shocking gore
fest you will ever see, but it is produced with same technical genius and
style that Quentin Tarantino put into his other, more successful efforts.
(Pulp Fiction, for one) this is definitely not for the squeamsh. usually i
stick to describing the scissors scene but this is an unusual case. the brief
scissors is only average, but the scene before and the scene after it are two
of the most breathtaking, erotically charged scenes you will ever see in any
movie. first there is Salma Hayek's table dance. the lights go down in the
nightclub and she is introduced as "the evil Satanico". she comes out with a
large albino boa constrictor coiled around her. her supple body writhes in
time with the snake for over a minute before she hands it to two helpers. she
then dances her way from one table top to another until she is above Quentin
Tarantino. (sometimes it's good to be the writer!) some outstanding angles are
used here to explore Miss Hayek's smooth musculature as she places one bare
foot in his mouth. she then pours whiskey down her bare leg onto her feet and
toes which he eagerly licks clean. as the song ends (and the music was
excellent btw) George Clooney expresses the sentiments of one and all when he
starts clapping and yells, "now that's some f***ing show!" later, (after the
scissors scene which i will describe below) Miss Hayek has another awesome
moment that is the stuff fantasies are made of. after flattening George
Clooney with a right to the jaw she plants a foot on his chest and stands
above him. the camera again lovingly caresses every inch of her well toned
body as she pins him down and tells him how she will make him her slave for
life and how he will eternally be degraded at her feet. (at this point i was
thinking, "you got a deal!") he tries to load his gun as she keeps him trapped
with one foot and continues to verbally abuse him. the moment ends when he
gets his gun loaded and shoots the chandelier above her which then crashes
down on her. trust me, you will wear out the special effects on your VCR with
these two scenes.

SCISSORS SCENE: after the table dance a brawl breaks out. George and Quentin
shoot several people while Quentin gets stabbed in the hand. Salma's gorgeous
face transforms into a hideous, almost reptilian female demon (fortunately no
changes take place from the neck down). she leaps onto Quentin's back applying
a tight bodyscissors as she bites down on his neck. he spins about screaming
and spurting blood but she is wrapped around him tightly and he can't escape.
there is total chaos as the vampires and humans fight to the death. in the
background there are several possible scissors as you see women biting men
while their legs are around them. most of these are just momentary glimpses,
however.

POSITIVES: awesome woman, good camera work and lghting, very energetic.

NEGATIVES: the scissors scene itself was very short. it was the scene before
and after it that will make you sit up and take notice.

OVERALL RATING: **
