Obviously, the above sampling clears things up if you were wondering about the number of expletives in From Dusk Till Dawn. I don’t give a f*ck how crazy they are!”Īn unforgettable exploitation picture and a totally fun and nasty ride, From Dusk Till Dawn, is still a total blast today and well worth revisiting… Some personal favorites include: “I will turn this place into the f*cking Wild Bunch”, “Now let’s kill that f*ckin’ band”, “Anything you got to say to them… say to me first.” and “Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them.
Peppered with enough one-liners and quotables for 6 scripts, Tarantino’s screenplay is arguably one of his best, if not his most fun by a long shot. Luckily Tarantino’s batshit script more than makes up for these shortcomings. Having just written a somewhat problematic character that he also played in Pulp Fiction, one gleans that maybe Tarantino sees himself as taking the bullet so no one else has to play these characters. I think we can all agree that Tarantino is at his best when he’s behind the camera rather than in front of it. Yes, Quentin Tarantino has had his reputation skewered a bit in recent years and the fact that this film has him literally sucking whiskey off of Salma Hayek’s toes (in a scene he wrote) doesn’t necessarily help matters. On that note, of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t address the elephant in the room.
Further, some will naturally question the decision to bring the genre back at all. Modern takes on the genre, most popular in the 1970s, are always going to be jarring because not everyone has the context of a film nerd to make sense of what the writer and director are intending. First off, this is an exploitation picture through and through. Ultimately whether From Dusk Till Dawn works or not breaks down to the success of its many parts.

While From Dusk Till Dawn begins as a crime movie about two brothers on the run from the law, it morphs into a nasty vampire bloodbath by the end, leaving many viewers gobsmacked in the process. Much of this is probably due to the aforementioned shift in the film’s direction just past the halfway point. Notably, Rotten Tomatoes has it listed with a barely positive 62%. I’m sure you’ve already gleaned that this writer has an unabashed love for From Dusk Till Dawn, however, not everyone is so enamored with the film. Was the collaboration successful? Well, that depends on who you ask.
