Monster Crap
Inductee: From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money
Just A Pain In The Neck
Let
me start with a reality and something that probably went into NegaSeth’s
decision to make this February a Vampuary thing. I do not like the vampire
genre.
Sorry,
I just don’t care for it. The whole suave vampire who bites your neck as if he
is giving you a hickey is just not my thing. Even the great vampire films like
Nosferatu, Dracula (1931), Horror of Dracula, Near Dark….I don’t particularly
like. Even a horror comedy like The Fearless Vampire Killers (which I just
recently watched), I couldn’t finish as I was bored. But one of the few vampire
films I did like was 1996’s From Dusk Till Dawn.
An
action horror film, From Dusk Till Dawn had the perfect blend of horror and
action while also being a crime film since our main characters are criminals
who take a family hostage to get into Mexico and run afoul of a bar full of
vampires. It’s more complicated than that, but it is truly a fun film with even
a hint of comedy. It’s truly enjoyable and one that I have come back to
watching plenty of times. But like many things, it eventually gets screwed up
with terrible sequels. In fact, even the director Robert Rodriguez screwed up
his own idea when he remade the movie into a TV series for his fledgling, but
great channel in El Rey.
After
The First Season, I Just Gave Up. Like Many Films That Get Remade Into TV
Series, They Tend To Pad It Out A Lot And Make Boneheaded Decisions Like The
Vampires Having Snake Fangs.
But
we are not talking about that, but instead we are talking about the 1999 sequel
that was a early test for Dimension’s Direct To Video market. We do not have
Robert Rodriguez at all despite what the trailer of the film would tell you,
but we do have Quentin Tarentino back as an executive producer (which he was
one and star of the first film). Also what a cast this film has. First we have
to talk about the film stars who have never been on Monster Crap before (there
will be reason for that in a minute).
We
first have Tiffani Amber Thiessen.
Brett
Harrelson, who is the brother of Woody Harrelson.
He
Obviously Is Not As Good As His Brother And Has An Extremely Smaller Credit
List With His Last Film Being In 2004
But
now let’s get to our Monster Crap All Stars….as many of these people have been
in past Monster Crap inductions.
First
up, we have Bruce Campbell. Many of you may know him as Ash from the Evil Dead
series, but here at Monster Crap, we know him as…
Next,
we have Danny Trejo. Many of you may know him as Machete from the Machete films
as well as the Grindhouse trailers, but here at Monster Crap, we know him as…
Next
up is Muse Watson. You may know him as the Fisherman Killer in the I Know What
You Did Last Summer films (the first two, the third one I will only get into
when I finally get around to inducting that bullshit). But we here at Monster
Crap know him as…
Next
is Duane Whitaker. You may know him from a few films like Pulp Fiction and
Feast. But he is known at Monster Crap as…
Second
to last is Bo Hopkins. Most may know him as Tex from Midnight Express or Crazy
Lee from The Wild Bunch, but he is known in the Monster Crap circles as…
And
the star of this film is Robert Patrick. You may mostly know him as the T-1000
from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. But Monster Crap knows him as…
And
those are your Monster Crap All Stars. *audience cheer* Let’s get to the damn
movie.
We
start off in the city.
Some
genius who released this DVD as part of a 3 pack with From Dusk Till Dawn 1
& 3 decided to release this movie in widescreen. Normally that would be
fine, but the film was filmed for full screen, so we are gonna have to deal
with the screen being smaller just like an old Sega CD game. I’ve tried to
change the ratio, but you don’t get that option at all and instead will have to
deal with the film like this.
We
then get our title card.
So
anyway, we go to an office building late at night that has both Pam and Barry
going into an elevator.
So
they enter the elevator and talk about how they are defending a serial killer.
Barry says even though they know he did it, they still have to defend him and
keeps saying that he is an alleged serial killer while Pam says they both know
he killed those 14 women and hopes defending him will not bring down any karma
on them. Barry laughs off the whole karma notion when the elevator stops
working and it gets extremely dark. Barry goes to check on the elevator via
that top hatch that is always there, and a body falls into the elevator.
If
The Freaking Tag On His Shirt Didn’t Give It Away, This Is The Maintenance Man
Who Was Working On The Elevator And It Looks Whatever Killed Him Sure Bit Or Scratched
The Hell Out Of Him.
Barry
shines his flashlight that he borrowed from the dead body up the shaft and of
course that awakens the things that killed this poor man who was fixing the
elevator.
So
Barry gets killed painfully and his body falls to the elevator floor.
Yep…In
Both Monster Crap Inductees That I Have Had Of This Guy, Bruce Campbell Gets
Killed Off Early
So
with the hatch still open and the only thing blocking the bats from Pam now on
the floor, the bats gang up and kill Pam.
Oh
and it gets even worse because the surge of bats causes the cord holding the
elevator to break.
The
elevator falls to the bottom and the bats escape into the night.
You
know, that is an awesome opening kill scene. Now let’s immediate decide to fuck
that shit up with this.
Yep…That Whole Opening Kill Scene Was From A Made Up Movie For This Film. In Fact, Despite Tiffani-Amber Thiessen Being Promoted On The Cover Of The DVD, She Doesn’t Appear In The Damn Film Again. I’m Not Kidding, Two Big Actors Who The Trailers Hyped As Being In This Movie….Were Just Killed Off In What Was Basically Would Be Equal To An Opening Dream Sequence. So In This Movie, Those Characters Don’t Effect The Plot At All And Were Just There As Fodder For A Kill That Doesn’t Even Completely Count.
As
you can plainly imagine, I do not like this complete fake out that has nothing
to do with the plot of this film.
Back
to the real movie, we have Buck complaining about the bad signal on his old
dialed TV with his girlfriend Marcy.
For
you youngsters out there, there was a time where you either had cable, a
satellite dish, or you couldn’t afford either of those, you had a freaking
antenna next to your TV with a dial on the TV than you hoped and prayed you got
some good TV.
You
Got Only The Basic Channels And You Had To Pray For Two Things, That The
President Doesn’t Speak And No Terrible Weather. Even Then, You May Not Get A
Channel You Wanted. I Know For You Kids, That Would Be Horrifying
Oh
and even worse, Buck was stealing cable which was more painful than it was
fucking worth. Now with the digital cable world, the shit of stealing cable is
almost impossible. Back to the film, Buck changes the channel and gets to the
news which reveals that a criminal that Buck used to work with named Luther
escaped from police custody during a prisoner transport.
The
reporter talks to Sheriff Otis Lawson who is now charged with re-capturing
Luther. Otis also put Buck away in jail for his own criminal activities (he
robbed a bank). Oh and they also mention that there is a solar eclipse. I have
to mention the solar eclipse as that comes back into the plot later on in a big
way.
But
there isn’t enough time for Buck to laugh at Luther’s escape as Sheriff Otis
comes knocking on his door. When Buck says that Otis needs a warrant, Otis
grabs Buck’s testicles and squeezes him until Buck gives him the okay to be
allowed in (even though he was already in). Otis thinks that Luther might have
contacted Buck since they were old friends and Buck says he hasn’t heard a peep
from Luther. Otis doesn’t believe him and has his deputy McGraw show Marcy a
picture and asks if she has seen this man. Marcy says she has and says she saw
him on the television. Otis says that he knows Luther and Buck used to be old
butt buddies and when Luther contacts Buck, they will know.
They
go to leave when Buck gets a phone call. He pretends it is his mom and the
authorities leave. Then we find out Buck was lying as his mother is dead. Oh
and of course it is really Luther, who has a new score for the two of them in a
bank in Mexico. Oh and a cop pulls up nearby, but doesn’t know Luther is right
there. Luther tells Buck that he needs to round up a crew because the bank
heist needs to happen as there is a million dollars in drug money. Buck
immediately starts rounding up fellow criminals like:
C.W.,
Who Is Now Working As A Rodeo Clown As His Wife Left Him, He Fractured A Bone
In His Ass, And He Is Three Months Late On His Payment That He Basically Had To
Sell His Horse And Trailer. Oh And His Dog Got Run Over By A Truck.
And
Finally There Is Ray Bob, Who Is An Idiot And Was Sleeping On The Job As A
Security Job For Some Company. Jesus Doesn’t Like Him, But Buck Is Setting Up
The Team So He Is In And If Jesus Doesn’t Like It, Fuck Jesus (Buck’s Words).
Ray Bob Has To Be Convinced Of The Deal As Apparently He Is Pussy Whipped.
So
now the crew has been formed and you might want to know the car they are
driving has the license plate of BYT MEE.
Now
in Mexico…
They
stop off at a motel called El Coyote where we have this line.
Jesus: The Coyote
Buck
has Jesus come with him to check in as he tells CW to get the gear ready in
Room 7. They get the room pretty quickly and everything is set up although
Jesus meets a hot latina named Lupe.
Lupe
tells Jesus to come by her room later.
Then
they immediately watch some Mexican porn.
Christ…yes,
there is some porn in this movie I am watching, but it isn’t a huge part of the
movie so you can go now.
Aww…but I want to watch the Mexican Porn
It
isn’t part of the movie. It’s just some guys watching it because it is
basically the only thing on. It plays no part in the movie and besides, you
have a summer full of films to subject me to so focus on that and the real porn
you have in your room and leave me be!!!!
Oh yeah, I forgot I won again this year.
Yeah,
you did and NegaSeth is still pretty sour about that whole thing, so you better
run.
He is? Well, see ya then.
Jesus
says the movie is of low quality and Ray Bob doesn’t think it looks all that
bad. We then get this dialogue.
Jesus: There’s no story.
Buck: It’s a fuck movie.
I don’t watch a fuck movie for the story. I watch a fuck movie to see fuckin’.
C.W.: I got to side with
Jesus on this one. I personally appreciate an attempt at telling a story. When
I care more about the characters, I care more about the fuckin’. Now my main
complaint about this movie here…is we’ve been watching it for something like a
half hour and there ain’t been no ass fuckin’.
Meanwhile,
Luther is driving towards the motel when a big bat runs into his jeep.
This
causes the jeep to bust and die. Luther goes to check his engine and the bat
tries to attack Luther.
This
scares Luther and he decides to shoot the creature.
The
creature falls and now Luther has to walk. And he immediately heads to the
Titty Twister.
The
Bar From The First Film. Kind Of Recovered Rather Nicely Considering The
Bloodbath That Happened There.
Luther
talks about how this is his kind of place and he has to move out of the way as
the disco ball falls on the floor.
Luther
goes to the bar where he meets the bartender Razor Eddie.
Now
You Might Be Curious Why Danny Trejo Is Here Considering In The First Film, He
Got Killed. Well, That Was Razor Charlie And I Guess Razor Eddie May Be His
Twin (They Never Really Explain).
Luther
goes to the bar asking for a shot of tequila. He has to spit it out as this
tequila may have the worm in it.
Or
Gnat In This Case
He
then gets some whiskey and asks if a cab comes by here. Eddie laughs and says
there is no way he is getting a cab out here. Luther then explains his ride
being dead because it ran into a bat. This causes Eddie’s eyes to become wider.
Eddie
then says he gets off in thirty minutes and he can take Luther to the motel
that he needs to go to. Luther is okay with this idea and calls his buddies to
explain the situation. We then cut to Eddie and Luther on the road and Eddie
asks about the bat. Luther says it was a big one that scared the shit out of
him so he put a bullet in it. That makes Eddie give Luther another gaze.
So,
it is revealed that they actually headed to Luther’s jeep and Luther wonders
where the big bat went. Eddie goes into the brush and comes back with an
injured man named Victor.
Luther
doesn’t understand what is going on as Eddie asks Victor if this is the man who
fucked him up. Victor confirms it is and Luther tries to say he never has seen
this man in his life. Victor takes the bullet out of himself and says he thinks
this belongs to Luther. Victor then falls and dies and after checking on his
friend, Eddie reveals his monstrous side.
Luther
tries to shoot Eddie too and seems to take him down. Then Luther has to move to
avoid an oncoming car that doesn’t stop at all. Luther then realizes that Eddie
isn’t where he fell anymore. Luther starts walking back and of course Eddie
follows. Eddie turns into a bat and goes to attack, but Luther ducks as Eddie
Bat flies on the moonlight.
Oooh…You
Were Just Close To Copying The Bat Signal, But You May Have Needed To Inch That
Bat Over A Bit To The Right So It Was At The Center.
Luther
gets up and tries shooting at the bat. Unfortunately, this isn’t a bat that was
run over so it is a little harder to hit. But he finally hits the bat and goes
over to deal the final blow, but his gun jams and the bat is able to retry the
attack as Luther runs. Luther runs into the SUV and tries to drive away, but a
completely recovered Victor dives in and attacks him as he drives. Victor
finally bites into Luther’s neck
Back
at the motel, C.W. says that he once fucked a porn star and Jesus tells a story
about a guy he knew named Carlos who found out his sister was doing a porno in
LA. He went to LA and killed the director, the cameraman, the male co-star, and
the guy who brought donuts.
The
Porno Director He Shot Is Played By The Director Of This Movie As Well, Scott
Spiegel So There Is Some Humor In This Although Not As Good As The First.
Jesus
then tells the others that he needs to go for a walk, when in reality he is
going over to Lupe for some fucking.
Meanwhile,
the bat of Luther (who you could have guessed was turned into a vampire) flies
to the motel. After sex, Lupe goes to take a shower and that is when the bat
attacks.
So,
Lupe gets killed by the bat while Jesus is asleep. He finally wakes up and gets
changed back into his clothes but starts to notice a crap ton of blood coming
from the bathroom. He does not like this but needs to see what happen anyway.
Luther answers and Jesus is wondering what he is doing there, he responds with
this.
Jesus
goes by him and sees the bathtub with the blood and Lupe’s body. Jesus says
what the fuck and Luther responds by revealing that he is a vampire. Jesus
tries to fight the vampire, but the best he can do is ward off Luther for bit
because the bible here has a cross and lock himself in the bathroom, with a
dead Lupe who comes back to life because of course based on vampire rules, she
is one now too.
Real Vampire Rules…Not That Bullshit Twilight Rules Where You At First Get Poisoned From A Regular Vampire Bite.
Jesus
has to battle the woman he just had sex with and is ultimately able to use a
piece of the mirror that he slammed her head into, to decapitate her.
Luther
breaks open the bathroom door and Jesus decides to jump out a window.
Anyone
who has a modicum of pro wrestling history should get that joke. The rest of
you, on a pro wrestling interview segment called The Barbershop (hosted by a
wrestler named Brutus The Barber Beefcake) has on a tag team called The Rockers
that was comprised of Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels, who were having hints
of dissension. The two partners looked to have resolved their issues when Shawn
Michaels decided to give his partner Marty a kick to the face. Afterwards,
Shawn then threw Marty through the Barbershop window. And without missing a
beat, the commentator who cheers for the heels named Bobby “The Brain” Heenan
says “Jannetty tried to dive through the window to escape. Did you see that?
What an act of cowardice.” You know, even as a wrestling fan who has become
very cynical of the product, sometimes you need a moment like someone lying
straight to face about the dastardly thing that just happened, to get a chuckle
over.
Luther
catches up to Jesus and bites his neck, turning him into a vampire.
The
innkeeper sees this and tries to run and get on the phone to call for help, but
gets attacked, strangled by the cord of a fan, and then, her face cut up by the fan as it is still on.
So
back at the room where the rest of the crew is still watching that damn porn, a
newly turned vampire Jesus comes back and says that he found Luther who also
appears.
When
asked about why Jesus looks like a damn ghost now after having sex with Lupe,
Jesus has this comeback.
Jesus: She sucked me dry.
Luther
then explains the plan for the heist and Buck is a little worried about doing
the job tonight even before casing out the place and Luther merely explains
that the innkeeper (who in reality is dead) may have recognized him as a
fugitive so before she warns the cops, they need to get the heist done.
Everyone agrees to doing the heist as there is way too much money to walk away
from. As they drive, Luther warps the windows with tin foil and when CW
questions this, Luther says it is just for precaution in case someone sees them
in the car.
The
next scene has the cops at the motel as they are discovering the gruesome scene
with the bodies of the innkeeper and Lupe. We then meet the Mexican Police Chief.
We
then get the only backstory of Deputy McGraw as in he is the son of the Texas
Ranger Earl McGraw, who was killed in the convenience store by the Gecko
Brothers in the first From Dusk Till Dawn. I should also mention that the actor
who plays Deputy McGraw is the actual son of the actor who played Earl McGraw
in this first From Dusk Till Dawn, which is some rather nice trivia.
We
then cut to the bank where there is only one security guard on duty as the bank
is closed for the night.
Luther
tells the rest of the crew to pull the car to the back as he alone is going to
get in and get the doors open. Buck wonders how and Luther only says he has
this all worked out. Luther’s plan since he is a vampire is to sneak in through
a shaft as a bat.
The
dumbass security guard hears a door open and close as well as the vent being
open, but he thinks nothing of it. He of course gets killed by Luther, but not
through a bite to the neck.
Luther
then just opens the door to let the rest of the crew in. They of course see the
dead security guard and Buck wonders why Luther had to kill him. Luther than
just said it was either the guard or him. C.W. and Luther head to the vault to
try and disarm the motion detectors. They do so, but there is a huge problem
for Luther.
Luther
puts his coat over it as C.W. is just confused. Luther merely explains that he
had a bit of an asthma attack. C.W. then starts drilling a hole through the
door. Meanwhile, Buck is telling Ray Bob about the dead guard and because of
this, they will be executed if they get caught.
Back
at the vault, Luther get partially tempted to bite C.W.’s neck but stops. C.W.
asks if Luther is planning to cornhole him (ass-fucking joke) and makes Luther
back a bit off as he is too close to him. C.W. then removes the jacket
revealing the cross again and finally, Luther reveals himself to be a vampire,
biting down on C.W.’s neck to turn him into a vampire
But
as this happens, they accidentally reactivated the motion detectors so the
silent alarm goes off.
The
cops are coming and both Buck and Ray Bob get nervous, while Jesus is just
merely annoyed. Buck tries to convince Luther and a newly turned C.W. they need
to get out of here, but they both would rather stay as they think the cops will
be just a small hinderance. Buck is only able to get Ray Bob to go with him as
Jesus would also rather stay. Unfortunately, it is too late to make a mistake
as the cops are already there.
With
the cops shooting, both Buck and Ray Bob decide to go back inside which gets a
laugh out of Jesus, who jokes he was starting to miss them. Meanwhile, the
Mexican chief calls Sheriff Otis as he was able to see Buck as part of the bank
heist. The cops then surround the whole bank, which would normally mean we are
nearing the end, but remember that some of these robbers are vampires so now
the third act has just begun. The Mexican police chief then shouts through a
megaphone that the robbers have 2 minutes to come out with their hands up and
they will be unharmed, afterwards…they basically signed their death warrants.
Otis and McGraw arrive shortly thereafter as the Mexican police chief gives
them a rundown of the situation.
They
call the phone and Buck tries to answer, but Jesus answers instead. It’s Otis
on the phone and he demands to know who he is and if Luther is there. Jesus
introduces himself to Otis and says that yeah, Luther is here. He also says
Buck is there as well and Otis demands to talk to Buck. Buck gets the phone and
Otis tells him he “cornholed the pooch this time”. Buck says that he will have
to agree on that one. The Mexican police chief tells Otis that there is
obviously a bank guard in there and they want to speak to him which Otis relays
to Buck. Buck lies about the guard still being alive and gets Jesus to speak
Spanish pretending to be the guard. Otis then demands that they need to let the
guard go and come out with their hands up, all the while the Mexican police
chief has two Mexican SWAT members sneak in from the roof. Buck tries to
negotiate for a 10-minute head start before they give the guard back, but Jesus
has had enough of this crap and destroys the phone.
Buck
is angry because that was their last chance to make a deal and Jesus says there
isn’t going to be any deal. Jesus is also tired of Buck’s chatter so the two
start fighting. Buck is quickly thrown into a desk while Jesus says that his
pit bull isn’t the only one on steroids, although in this case, it also might
be his vampire powers helping him as well. Ray Bob wants the two to stop
fighting.
The
Mexican SWAT are on the roof as C.W. breaks the safe open. Luther and C.W.
start taking the money when the Mexican SWAT drops some tear gas on them. This
merely pisses the two vampires off as Luther changes into a bat to take care of
those guys as he tells C.W. to get the rest out to help with the cash. He is
able to kill one of the SWAT as a bat.
The
living SWAT member tell the police chief about one of them getting killed and
the chief tells him that he need to get out of there. Unfortunately, it is too
late as Luther throws him off the roof so he lands on electrical wires and
eventually dies on the top of a car.
Ray
Bob goes to take a leak as we get more issues between Buck and Jesus. A sniper
sets up shop behind a beer billboard, but he doesn’t last long as Luther flies
over there and impales him with his own sniper rifle.
As
Ray Bob heads to the bathroom, C.W. tells him to give him a hand with getting
the money. Luther comes back to tell the two that they need to make things
quicker as time is running short. Buck goes to get a smoke, but he realizes
that Jesus has no reflection, which is strange. Luther comes in to tell them
that they need to start helping out. Jesus is extremely happy to hear that as
Buck is troubled by what is going on.
As
Luther starts giving Jesus a compliment, Buck aims his gun at them. He tells
Ray Bob that he believes the others may be vampires and his vampire theory is
confirmed when he finds out that Ray Bob has also been turned.
They
all attack, and Buck is able to keep them at bay by shooting at them. Buck then
holds them back by making a cross with some supplies
More
smoke grenades are thrown in and Buck has to continue to hold them off despite
the smoke making it harder to see them. Jesus throws a knife at his leg, which
works to take him down. Jesus tries to attack, but Buck still has the cross.
Buck then decides to run out the front door where he is immediately arrested.
He
tries to warn Otis and the others that they are dealing with vampires. Of
course, they don’t believe him and ultimately put him in the back of a police
car although one of the cops does remove the knife from his leg. More cops go
into the smoke-filled bank and they all end up easily getting killed. One of
the heads is thrown out for those still outside the bank.
The
sun finally rises, and you may think this will be the end.
Oh
And These Two Are Looking At The Solar Eclipse Without Protective Glasses So
They May Have Some Eyesight Issues.
Anyway,
the vampires are back out and they start killing with guns at first.
Then
when the run out of ammo, they start using their vampire powers to kill.
Otis
finally decides that he wants answers from Buck and Buck of course tells him
that you are dealing with vampires. Buck says that he has an idea on how to
deal with them, but he wants out of the handcuffs and the back of the police
car. Otis decides that a free Buck is not gonna happen. Luther sees Buck cuffed
and in the back of the police car, so he goes after him. It is at that point
that Otis and McGraw finally let him out and shoot Luther for good measure. We
then see the vampires killing cops in shadows.
Now
only Otis, Deputy McGraw, and Buck are left to deal with the vampires. Oh and
Buck is finally free of the handcuffs as they decide they are going to make
their last stand.
The
good guys then decide to create crosses out of their shotguns, which is smart
and actually worked extremely well in the first From Dusk Till Dawn. Suddenly,
the only female cop that was killed turns into a vampire and she has to be
dealt with.
The
bad guys almost kill McGraw, but he is also wearing a cross around his neck.
Buck finally impales the female cop on a random pipe and she is dead.
Unfortunately,
McGraw does killed from behind by Jesus and his knife.
Luther
then tells Ray Bob to get the car loaded as the rest will take care of Buck and
Otis. Jesus puts the cash in the back and thinks about ditching the others for
the cash, but Luther makes sure he doesn’t do that as he takes the keys.
C.W.
tries to go after Otis, but Otis uses the red cross on the back of the
ambulance to ward off C.W. Otis then finally stakes C.W. and kills him.
Ray Bob tries to convince Buck to be one of them, but Buck is against it. Then Jesus shows up as he would rather kill Buck instead. But the exact opposite happens as Buck kicks Jesus into a car with bull horns and the horns impale Jesus.
Otis
tries to take the stake back from C.W.’s corpse, but Luther grabs it, so Otis
tries to kick him in the balls.
Buck
throws Otis a stake and Otis uses that as a defense against Luther with a sign
pole. His defense actually creates a cross which wards Luther off a bit. Ray
Bob helps Luther with Buck and Otis, but the total eclipse is starting to end.
The vampires try to run into the now concealed car for cover, but Luther gets
stabbed from behind by Buck who hid in the car as he anticipated this.
Buck
then creates a cross to force Ray Bob out of the car.
Ray
Bob tries to get back into the car, but he starts to light up, and he dies.
It
is also revealed that Buck used some sunglasses to reflect the sun at Ray Bob
to get him before he was able to get to the car.
Buck
then puts on the sunglasses and Otis says they look nice on him. This is
actually an inside joke as those are the actual sunglasses Robert Patrick as
the T-1000 in most of Terminator 2.
They
even make a joke about how they are the goddamn fearless vampire killers. Then
Otis asks a question I’m sure was on everyone’s mind.
Otis: What in the hell
are vampires doing robbing a bank?
Buck
doesn’t even have a good answer for that. Buck then says that he supposes
vampires need money as much as anybody else. Buck offers him a cigarette, but
Otis says he quit. Buck asks if he is using one of those patches and Otis just
said he just went cold turkey. The sirens then are heard as obviously more cops
are coming and Buck says he needs to run as he was never good in jail. Otis
teases that he might have to stop him, but Buck says they both know he is in no
shape to do so. Buck then drives off as Otis watches and the movie ends.
The
aftermath is that there is a third entry in the series called The Hangman’s
Daughter, which is sort of a prequel. Danny Trejo (who played Razor Eddie)
would also be in that film and eventually be really big as Machete thanks to
Robert Rodriguez, who was also the director of the first From Dusk Till Dawn. Robert
Patrick (who played Buck) still finds plenty of work and is on the hit CBS
series Scorpion. Muse Watson (who played C.W.) still finds work here and there
and has multiple episode roles in Prison Break and NCIS. I believe Brett
Harrelson (who played Ray Bob) decided acting wasn’t for him as his last acting
role was in a film called Back Home Again in 2004. Raymond Cruz (who played
Jesus) gets a lot of roles in TV shows like The Closer, Major Crimes, Breaking
Bad, and Better Call Saul (the last two as the same character Tuco Salamanco (a
small character who is still remembered in that role)). James Parks (who played
Deputy McGraw) still works thanks in large part to a working relationship he
has with Quentin Tarentino. Tiffani-Amber Thiesen still does small roles (like
fellow cameo in this film Bruce Campbell), but mostly spends her time as a
wife, mom, and animal lover as she has five dogs, a cat, a hen, and four
chickens. Tragically, we do have a death as Shaun Arnolds (who played the one
bank guard) sadly died in 2009 after being hit by a car.
So,
my final thoughts on the movie and it is not a good film to sit through, but
not exactly a terrible one either. The effects at time were bad and at times
were pretty good (let’s forget about what happened with one vampire policewoman
as that was something else). The humor was not as good as the first one, but it
was still there. Honestly, the main thing that helps this movie is it seems
like the main cast was having a good time making it and in a film that is
definitely not going to come even close to living up to the first (it was after
all a Direct To Video release so it didn’t have close to the same budget),
honestly having actors who have good chemistry with each other helps a lot. If
you are ever watching this, just remember that this is not going to be even
half as good as the first because of the smaller budget and you might actually
have an okay time watching this one.
Now
for the next induction and……
