6What people say
I had a paper route when I was 12 and this was the first movie I bought on VHS with my money. 12 year old Grooveman was a bad motherfucker.
Way before Rodriguez only made silly cartoons, he made slightly less silly cartoons that were fun because of fun not because of an obsession with his own style.Two things though:- Tarantino telling that joke.- Salma Hayek crossing the street.Two very legitimate reasons to rewatch this when you get the chance.
