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.

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.
