True Romance doesn't bare any resemblance to that type of movie and was 104th in the boxoffice. It's reputation has grown from video releases and word of mouth.
Pitch Black was a low budget pick-up by Universal and a surprise mini-hit |
The point I was making was that films like True Romance and Pitch Black were distributed by BIG studios hence the reason they are far more well known than the Prey's and Satan's Blade's of this world.....and I don't agree that TR and PB are
cult films.They were released to a wide audience,104th at the box office or not.....
THE WICKER MAN,WITHNAIL AND I,THE EVIL DEAD,REPO MAN,to me,these are
true cult films.
