Curiozități

Flypaper is a 1998 American independent comedy film written and directed by Klaus Hoch and starring Craig Sheffer, Robert Loggia, Sadie Frost, John C. McGinley, Illeana Douglas, Talisa Soto, and Lucy Liu. It tells three intertwining tales of violence, sex, and betrayal in Southern California. The film premiered at the American Film Market in 1998 before being released direct-to-video in 2000. The film has been criticized as a Pulp Fiction rip-off.

Production, release, and reception

Flypaper was shot in 1997, in the period from June 9 to July 16. John C. McGinley was not cast until a week into filming. The film premiered at the American Film Market (AFM), from February 26 to March 6, 1998; it was released straight-to-DVD on June 27, 2000, by Trimark Home Video.

TV Guide called the film among the "second-rate rip-offs" of Pulp Fiction, criticizing it as merely a series of bizarre interwoven storylines without a "substantive whole" and "the highly idiosyncratic worldview that makes Quentin Tarantino's films so singular".

In 2011, Total Film ranked Lucy Liu and James Wilder's sex scene in a water-free pool filled with rattlesnakes as one of the "50 Worst Movie Sex Scenes", advising audiences to look away when Liu and Wilder "copulate as narked snakes bite their naked bods".
