A gang of greedy thieves rob a bank, double-cross their boss and escape into the desert. But when the trigger-happy bandits try to hide in a strange town, they find themselves at war with a sadistic family of coffee-addicted outlaws known as The McMahons. Desperate, deranged and cranky, their destinies will all meet in a final showdown of bloodshed, vengeance and caffeine. Directed and co-written by Alex Cox (Repo Man, Sid & Nancy), this surreal comedy was shot on location in Almeria, Spain on the same sets used for the classic Sergio Leone/Clint Eastwood westerns, and is packed with strange humour, senseless violence, and creative profanity. It helps to be up on your spaghetti Westerns (and not just Leone's masterpieces), including things like "The Stranger Returns", "Any Gun Can Play", the "Trinity" films, "God Forgives, I Don't", "Django Shoots Fast" and so on... It also helps if you're a New Wave/punk fan.
