True Romance/Natural Born Killers

Double bill of crime thrillers from the 1990s. In 'True Romance' (1993) Clarence (Christian Slater) is a kung-fu loving guy whose boss buys him a night with a hooker, Alabama (Patricia Arquette).

The two fall in love and get married the next day. However, Alabama's violent pimp, Drexl (Gary Oldman), stands in their way and so Clarence takes it on himself to wipe him out.

In the process, he unwittingly picks up a suitcase full of uncut cocaine stolen by Drexl from the Mafia.

The young lovers high-tail it across the country to LA, hoping to sell the coke to a movie producer, with the Mafia and the cops on their tail.

In 'Natural Born Killers' (1994) Micky and Mallory (Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis) are no-good drop-outs who respond to their social alienation by embarking on a murder rampage across America.

Soon, with the help of tabloid journalist Wayne Gayle (Robert Downey Jr), they become cult heroes and find themselves at the centre of an unlikely media circus.

But FBI agent Dwight McClusky (Tommy Lee Jones) is determined to put an end to their glory.
