King of the North Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Anyone else find it a bit, well, disturbing? It uses the themes, voiceover and music from 'Badlands', a brilliant film but not one you immediately associate with a soft drink (It's about two kids on a murder spree across the midwest). Plus, Cactus Boy himself is dodgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Drago Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 anyone else notice its a total rip-off from True Romance, even down to the tune? edit - just read the OP, True Romance must be a total rip off of Badlands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I thought it was an allusion to True Romance, haven't seen Badlands so don't know whether TR is a rip-off of that or not ... though it's one of my favourite movies so will be pretty gutted if it is! PS... I kind of fancy the Cactus Kid.. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the North Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Sorry to disappoint you Louise... The music, the plot, the female voiceover, even her accent. It's all a rip off of Badlands. Although Quentin Tarantino would maybe describe it as a 'homage'... I still say Cactus Boy is dodgy, anyway.

King of the North Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 But what about Clarence and Alabama? This is the sound of my heart breaking ... It's still a quality fim, True Romance. Badlands is well worth seeing though, if only to see which bits Quentin nicked. And GA is right, Cactus Boy has serious issues - not least big spikes sticking out of his face.

Eckauskas Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 It's not as bad as that ****ing Mazda 2 advert. Sh*te car, sh*te music and creepy looking models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
