George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, and a scantily-clad Salma Hayek dancing with a snake wrapped around her moments before turning into a campire - From Dusk Til Dawn has it all.
Clooney and Tarantino play brothers Seth and Richie Gecko who are wanted by the FBI and Texan police after a robbery that left several people dead. We meet them at a convenience store, where they simply want to pick up a state map - until the unstable Richie (Tarantino) shoots and kills Ranger Earl McGraw. Seth (Clooney) is clearly the mastermind out of the two Geckos, who tries to calm the situation before the cashier stares down Richie's gun barrel. A firefight and improvised explosion later and the brothers are on their way out.
We learn they're off to Mexico to get to a safehouse, and kidnap a family to help get them there in their RV. A trade of promises and a lucky break sees them get across the US-Mexico border, before arriving at a popular establishment known as the Titty Twister (you can guess why it's popular).
This is where we meet Hayek, with a few minutes dedicated to her sensual routine, and a few minutes later the vampires.
It isn't the greatest film, but you can see Tarantino's influence all over it - the huge amount of gore being the most obvious. It isn't the best film in his repertoire, but it's still a bit of fun.
