| • | True Romance is a movie directed by Tony Scott (Top Gun) and written by Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary. It was released in 1993. It stars Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette. Also featured are Val Kilmer, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman, Michael Rapaport, Brad Pitt, Bronson Pinchot, James Gandolfini, Chris Penn, Tom Sizemore, and Samuel L. Jackson.
True Romance is a love story filled with violence, drugs, and some sex. The plot can be summarized as follows: Boy (Slater) meets Girl (Arquette), but the Girl is a prostitute. Boy kills her pimp and steals the pimp's cocaine, but the drugs really belong to Italian mobsters.
Notably, some of the appearances by the supporting cast are very brief. Christopher Walken, for example, appears only once but gives a very memorable speech, as he would do in Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, released the following year.
