___________"From Dusk Till Dawn"____________

So..I was going down to my local DVD store and decieded to buy the Movie "Pieces" Finnally..It wasnt there so I had to choose from "C.H.U.D.", "Basket Case", or all the "It's Alive!" movies..then I saw this little movie..and It was cheap..(Also saw another good movie there..Severance..)

I got From Dusk Till Dawn..I guess collecters edition..I dont know..but I had 2 movies on it, which is awesome..

The Movie starts with a pretty big Bang..When the 2 Main Villian/Heros' The Geko Brothers Rob a Liqour Store Called "World Of Liqour" Which got me and my brother(Who watched this with me) about which is better.."World Of Liqour" Or "Liquorama"..
Now the Geko Brothers kill nearly everyone but 2 chicks who run off, then take off with one having a hole in his hand from being shot..

They stay at a shithole motel and when they drive there I caught the song in their car is "Texas Funeral" by the great..Jon Wayne..great band..

Now they have this hostage, which gets raped and killed by Quinten Tarinto..and then they kidnap a family on vacation and make them take them to Mexico so they can meet with their friends and finish the deal they have been making..and something about a place/guy called El Ray..which makes me think to Planet Terror..
[Just another quick little thing..this might just be being padantic but I noticed the way Quinten was sitting in the car in a early scene and he sticks his feet out the window..which instantly made me think of Death Proof for somereason and how the girl does the same thing in the driving scene right before getting in a crash with stunt man Mike...I dont know..just a wierd little thing that I caught..Might not mean anything.]
Now they go to a Bar/Strip joint called the Titty Twister and go and drink a few drinks, and see a stripper do her "act"..then Cheech Marin, the guy from Machete(Name escapes me..but I almost got him to sign a poster at a con once, then he stopped right when I got to him..)and other guys attack the geko brothers and stabs Quinten in the hand which makes the people of the bar, show their true forms and attack everyone killing Quinten and many many other random people in the bar.

The only characters that survive are Tom Savini or "Sex Machine" who has a c**k ******** awesome..some Veitnam Vetrain.. and 1 Geko brother and the family..the movie then turns into blood bath as a s**t load of vampires die..
The group then talks..and gets attacked again by the re-animated vampires of the people who died and "Sex Machine" gets Bite.

Sex Machine then becomes a Vampire and kills the Black guy..and then a bunch of vampires get in and the dad of the family(a former Minister) gets bite.
Now the whole next part of the movie, is just them kicking Vampire a** using a watch gun, a stabb-o-matic, a cross bow, and a cross/shotgun..
The scene is cool and the kid in the family gets totally ******** over and eaten by Vampires then shot, and explodes..
It then becomes just one Geko brother, and the girl and they use sunlight to kill the rest of the vampires.

The end is The Geko Brother talking to the 3rd character Cheech Marin Plays and then him parting paths with the girl, and showing the bar was bbuilt a-top a pyramid..then ends..

Great movie, great music, great effects, great everything.
