Alright I KNOW that Dusty started a thread on this film a while back, but since the search engine sucks beyond all belief, I couldn't find it (some mod should fix that by the way. It used to be good AKA actually functional, now it is terrible).
I like it. Great dialogue and performance delivery gives birth to some really interesting characters. This is one of those movies that relies on dialogue over everything else, and it worked. The crown jewel of the movie for me however, was christopher walkens performance, one of his best if oyu ask me
great fun little flick. If this movie doesnt prove slaters charm as an actor then i give up hope on a sequal to gleaming the cube

I think Man on Fire is overall a better movie than True Romance. That said, I am not crazy about either.

Yeah, great writing by Tarantino, Scott was the perfect director for it, the cast was superb, and the interrogation scene with Walken and Hopper was one of the best scenes ever made for a film.

Indeed it did! Weak, weak WEAK ending and the fact he went all soft on any women involved stuck out too.
I adore "True Romance"! It has perhaps THE most perfect cast right down to the most minor of support players and just works on every single level.
It even improves on QT's original screenplay, where the time jumping that worked so well in "Pulp Fiction" utterly failed here.
As you guys have said the Walken/Hopper scene is just magnificent but as is the outstanding sequence between Gandolfini and Arquette, their dialogue and interaction mixed in with the hardcore violence makes for something completely unique.
And any scene with Pitt's Floyd in as a joy!
