# Straight to Hell (1987)

1987 · 86 min · Comedy, Action, Western · Australia, United Kingdom, United States


## Synopsis

Straight to Hell is a 1987 spaghetti Western parody film directed by Alex Cox and starring Sy Richardson, Joe Strummer, Dick Rude, and Courtney Love. Loosely based on Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot! (1967), the film follows three male bank robbers and their gun moll who become stranded in the desert, where they stumble upon a surreal Western town inhabited by coffee-addicted killers. Dennis Hopper, Grace Jones, Miguel Sandoval, Elvis Costello, Xander Berkeley, Edward Tudor-Pole, Kathy Burke, and Jim Jarmusch are also featured in the film, along with band members of the Pogues, Amazulu, and the Circle Jerks. The film borrows its title from the Clash's 1982 song of the same name.
