How many movies have hit-men chatting about TV pilots, foot massages and quarter-pounders with cheese on their way to kill someone?It starts with a pair of professional thieves, "Pumpkin" (Tim Roth) and "Honey Bunny" (Amanda Plummer) discussing a robbery. Just don't play a drinking game with all the f-bombs, or you'll be dead before Butch's story is wrapped up. Dann folgt ein standardmäßiges hinter den Kulissen, in denen, der mit einer Videokamera gefilmte Bruce Willis eine nahezu prophetische Eingabe hat.
