Seth, the older and slightly saner of the two, with a tattoo snaking round his neck and down onto his arm, coerces his sexually deviant sibling into kidnapping faithless minister Jacob (Keitel), his jailbait daughter Kate (Lewis) and adopted son, and using their camper van to get across the Tex-Mex border, pitching up at the aptly named Titty Twister, an open all-night bar with a fine line in hostess action to wait until dawn when Carlos, their south of the border contact, will arrive.
SALMA HAYEK DUSK TILL DAWN BODY FULL
Seth and Richie Gecko (Clooney and Tarantino, decked out in Reservoir Dogs garb) are criminal brothers on the lam, heading for Mexico after a prison breakout with a bag full of moolah and the entire Texas law enforcement community on their tail, having left numerous bullet-riddled corpses in their bloody wake.
SALMA HAYEK DUSK TILL DAWN BODY MOVIE
Swelled from its obvious B-movie origins to must-see status thanks to Tarantino’s near messiah-like standing (even after Four Rooms) and Rodriguez’s impeccable action movie credentials, and featuring the Quentmeister in his first, proper acting gig, this funky fusion that is two-thirds guns’n’muthafuckas and one-third vampires’n’gore is a real (blood)blast, a rollicking, slam-bang piece of entertainment that goes for the jugular and the funny bone. It's great to see her reminisce about FROM DUSK TILL DAWN all this time later, talking about the role she played in a movie that had a major impact on me twenty-one years ago.The first script that Quentin Tarantino was paid to write, back in 1990 - for the tidy sum of $1,500 - has been dusted down and spruced up with Desperado director Robert Rodriguez at the helm, a biggish budget and a high profile cast lead by the latest superstar-in-waiting, ER’s George Clooney. Hayek looked back on that dance scene during a recent interview with Yahoo! She goes into how she got the job, and the fact that she had to dance with a snake despite being afraid of snakes.
That's how Tarantino described it in the script: "all hell breaks loose" when the vampires attack the club's clientele. As soon as the dance ends, all hell breaks loose. Appearing on stage with a snake wrapped around her, Santanico picks Tarantino's psychotic character out of the crowd and does her dance specifically for him. The two halves of the movie are bridged by a dance performed by the club's star attraction, Salma Hayek as vampire Queen Santanico Pandemonium. It then dives into horror in the second half, when the brothers and their hostages realize that they've stumbled into a den of vampires. The first half of the film is a crime thriller, with two violent criminal brothers on the run from the law. The Robert Rodriguez / Quentin Tarantino collaboration (Rodriguez directed, Tarantino wrote the screenplay and has an acting role in the film) truly captured my imagination at the time of its release and blew me away with its incredible cast (George Clooney, Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis, Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo, Tom Savini, Fred Williamson, Michael Parks, John Hawkes, the list goes on), cool characters, memorable lines, awesome concept, and unique structure.
The 1996 film FROM DUSK TILL DAWN is one of my all-time favorites.
