Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title comes from a Warren Zevon song; Tom Waits recorded his own version for the soundtrack.
This film's commercial failure helped kill the mid-90s indie crime wave that Pulp Fiction started—ironically, it was written before Tarantino's film.

Reactions from the web
aahh yes.......90's movie trailers with that deep voiced dialogue:) I miss this era of film. The trailers were kind of corny but the movies were really cool. today it's kind of the opposite as the trailers are epic but most films are disappointing.

Perfect movie, just freaking perfect! Violent, funny, romantic, moral without being preachy, it's flawless. Scotty Rosenberg, you knocked it outta the park!
