From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money (1999)

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

In a further melding of the crime and horror genres, "From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money" entertains as well as it can. Admittedly, it's pretty damn stupid, some of the effects are extremely hokey, and there's not much story to speak of. But it's got a sublime B movie cast, it's very lively and sometimes gory, director Scott Spiegel revisits his "Intruder" gimmick of coming up with ridiculous P.o.V. shots, and there's a healthy dose of humour. All of that makes this a sequel that's more fun than it might have been otherwise.Robert Patrick stars as Buck, a career criminal. Buck is convinced to join a bank robbing scheme by his associate Luther (Duane Whitaker). But Luther has angered the wrong individuals - the blood sucking variety - and this starts a chain reaction of vampirism; things keep going from bad to worse. The wonderfully idiotic twist is that Luther still insists on going through with the job. When the vampires increase in number and get out of control, Buck is forced to team up with his nemesis, a hard nosed Texas sheriff named Otis (the always amusing Bo Hopkins).Patrick, Whitaker, and Hopkins are joined by Muse Watson ("I Know What You Did Last Summer" and its first sequel), Raymond Cruz ("Alien: Resurrection"), Woody Harrelsons' brother Brett ("Strangeland"), and Danny Trejo, a holdover from the first movie. The cameos in the opening sequence are fun, too. James Parks plays the son of the character whom his father Michael portrayed in "From Dusk Till Dawn". Patrick and Hopkins are great (it's a treat to see Bo in an ass kicking role) and they pretty much hold the whole thing together.This is a "good", goofy, dose of no brainer entertainment for 88 straight minutes.Seven out of 10.

After agreeing to participate in a robbery at a Mexican bank, a team finds that several members of their crew are actually vampires and try to survive the encounter before they're turned into the creatures as well as keep the police outside at bay.This turned out to be a lot better than it should've been, and which starts off on a good note with the lack of Tarantino in any shape or form in the story, as well as a fantastic opening attack that really sets the tone for the rest of the film quite nicely. Though the build-up with the recruitment's takes far too long than it should, several of the attack scenes before the bank attack are a little too drawn out and the plot itself has a couple gaping holes (one of which is pointed out in the film itself by the characters) this is still a pretty involving film that really isn't that bad or boring, and the finale is a huge, fantastic action scene that really works very well, with a gunfight, shootouts, hand-to-hand brawling and fighting amongst the action before turning to dealing with the vampires in more traditional manners, which allows for some nice gore to be present amongst it all. All in all, this is a mildly flawed but definitely enjoyable entry.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a sex scene.

Five criminals get together to rob a bank in Mexico. On his way to their rendezvous point, one of them gets into an accident, and stumbles upon the Titty Twister Bar. This little detour sets up the terror that awaits the outlaws and the officers on their trail....I don't know whether its the fact that I saw the brilliant original the night before, or the lame cameos at the beginning, but as soon as the title arrived, I know it wasn't going to be good.The film has very little to with the original, and I don't even know where it rests on the Tarantino/Rodriguez movie timeline, which makes it all the more frustrating.Patrick is there for the pay check, and the rest of the cast just try to to be too cool for school.The script is a massive problem too, whenever there is a Tarantino type scene, its cringeworthy as it just doesn't ring true.Action is boring, and on the whole, it shouldn't have been made.

This was suppose to be a sequel to "From dusk till dawn". First of all, let me make one thing clear - the story of the film had absolutely nothing to do with the original FDTD, with possible exception of the presence of Danny Trejo (who, as far as I recall, doesn't have a name in either of the films other than in the role list, and therefor could have been a whole different character), and a bar called "Titty twister" (which doesn't even look like the original Titty Twister, and hence it might as well have been another bar).The story has nothing to do with the original (it doesn't continue where the first one ends, for example), non of the original cast (except from Danny Trejo) appears. In Sweden, it was promoted as a direct sequel: according to the back of the DVD cover, they ended up at Titty Twister to wait for the Gecko Brothers (who doesn't even appear). It is not nearly as well made as the first one. The "special effects" are crappy, the cinematography has little to no resemblance to the first one. The lines are suppose to be cool, probably trying to aim for something like the language in the first movie (that really were cheeky as hell). If you want to watch a sequel to "From dusk till dawn", skip this and jump to the third one at once. "Hangmans daughter" brings back at least some of the original feeling (playing with western movies the same way as the first one played with action/crime movies, for example).If you however choose to watch this, please do not watch this as a sequel to "From dusk till dawn", but more of it's own movie. That was the only way I actually managed to endure through the entire film, by thinking of it as a totally different film.
