In death, we hold fast to the people we once were, desperately straining to stave off such a brutal coda. In life, we love and are loved, hoping that we make some small dent in the world. It’s a hard pill to swallow - but it’s an inevitable conclusion that comes sooner or later. Most of us have trouble reconciling the end of one’s existence and the afterlife. There was no choreographer, nothing.Īs human beings, we can’t accept death. I already talked to her and she’s willing to dance with the snake.’ I had to overcome my greatest fear. It’s my greatest fear.’ And he said, ‘Well Madonna will do it. Quentin told me, ‘Oh by the way you’re dancing with a snake.’ And I said, ‘I can’t do that. Hayek continued, revealing how Tarantino got her to do the scene: And from that dance, Quentin saw it and wrote me the part in From Dusk Till Dawn… where of course he makes me dance only for him. Put a bathing suit on and we won’t see your face.’ So I did it. They were casting strippers for Four Rooms (I was not a part of that), and the day of the shoot, in the morning, Robert called me and said, ‘Can you please come and be the stripper? We won’t see your face.’ He goes, ‘Just put a bathing suit on. Over 20 years after the release of the film, Hayek recalls how she landed the role in a chat with Yahoo: One of the most memorable scenes in From Dusk Till Dawn saw a bikini-clad Salma Hayek dance around on stage as sexy snake-whisperer Santanico Pandemonium. It’s part crime thriller, part vampire flick, and it’s one of the very best horror films to come out of the decade that’s often considered be the genre’s all around worst. Tarantino of course co-wrote (and starred in) the Robert Rodriguez-directed From Dusk Till Dawn, which feels very much like, well, a Quentin Tarantino horror movie. Movie fans are often begging for Quentin Tarantino to make a horror movie, but we kind of already got one way back in 1996. On top of that, it has a hella-cool biker-bar soundtrack and Salma Hayek in a bikini.Can you believe it’s already been over 20 years? The tough guy dialog continues throughout, the gore level is astounding, and we see via Kate- the preacher's daughter, played by Juliette Lewis- that sometimes a p***ed-off virgin with a crossbow can more than hold her own. All of this can- and *will*, given the right attitude on the part of the viewers- read as a loving high-five to 70s zombie flicks, a homage to the campy fun of those movies. Out of nowhere, it becomes all too clear that these two bad, bad men are not by a longshot the baddest in *this* bar. It's humming along like a typical Tarantino picture, and then- BOOM. From there it takes a turn that many seem to find infuriating but I personally find highly entertaining. They're supposed to meet a partner at a bar called The Titty Twister, and once they get there madness ensues. Along the way they pick up a preacher played by Harvey Keitel and his two kids. George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino are the Gecko brothers, two bad, bad men on their way to Mexico. Anyone trying to do a 'serious review' of this movie needs to lighten up.
