Skinopsis

Purty lil' Patricia Arquette lets the points of her puffy chest pastries peak into frame during some sex with Christian Slater and in a bubbly bathtub scene in this hyperkinetic cult classic from Tony Scott and Quentin Tarantino.

-- Rick Stanko

3 Reasons To buy this film

This film got huge acclaim from critics and fans alike
Possibly Quentin Tarantino's best screenplay
We carry the director's cut, which is longer and awesomer. If awesomer isn't a word, it should be.

Review

What seemed like an unlikely pairing of mucho-macho auteur Quentin Tarantino and British stylist-turned-Hollywood hack Scott has paid off in spades with a hip, bullet-strewn thriller that hits you so hard it makes you laugh. This high-energy Generation X road movie stars Slater as a trash culture-worshipping comic book salesman who meets happy hooker Arquette during a kung fu triple feature in Detroit. Taking inspiration from his imaginary "mentor" (the ghost of Elvis played by Kilmer), Slater decides to rescue his new love from her sexual servitude to a dreadlocked pimp (Oldman, in a marvelously over-the-top performance). After blowing him away, Slater accidentally picks up a suitcase full of cocaine. After a quickie marriage and a visit to the tattoo parlor, Slater and Arquette hightail it out of town in a purple Cadillac. Drawing from Sam Peckinpah, Hong Kong action flicks, David Lynch (on a good day), Sergio Leone and Jim Thompson novels, True Romance is a gritty, high-octane mishmash with a genuinely affecting romance between Slater and Arquette.

The unrated director's cut inludes two minutes of footage not seen theatrically.
