I have seen this movie more than ten times and I never tire of watching it. It's got everything: humor, action, romance, Blaise Pascal's pensees (see "Nixer"'s French Fry/Human Condition analogy), and most of all, red hot rock and roll music. Rodriguez's films were lost on me after El Mariachi, but this little gem I cannot praise highly enough. Anyone looking for the songs from the film (Gene Vincent, Ralph Nielsen, Hasil Adkins, Charlie Feathers, Glen Glenn and others), check with Norton Records (their 1980s re-issue covers are all over Dude's garage).
