Straight to Hell is a 1987 spaghetti Western parody film directed by Alex Cox and starring Sy Richardson, Joe Strummer, Dick Rude, and Courtney Love. Loosely based on Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot! (1967), the film follows three male bank robbers and their gun moll who become stranded in the desert, where they stumble upon a surreal Western town inhabited by coffee-addicted killers. Dennis Hopper, Grace Jones, Miguel Sandoval, Elvis Costello, Xander Berkeley, Edward Tudor-Pole, Kathy Burke, and Jim Jarmusch are also featured in the film, along with band members of the Pogues, Amazulu, and the Circle Jerks. The film borrows its title from the Clash's 1982 song of the same name.

Production

Straight to Hell was developed by writer-director Alex Cox after a preponderance of musicians and bands—among them Joe Strummer, The Pogues—had gathered to perform a concert tour of Nicaragua. Political problems arose concerning the support of the left-wing government of Nicaragua, and the tour was cancelled. As an alternative, Cox invited the bands, and several actors he could assemble, to make a movie in Spain.

Cox wrote the part of Velma specifically for Courtney Love, who had appeared in a supporting role in his previous film, Sid and Nancy (1986). Love modeled the character after Carroll Baker's performance in the 1956 film Baby Doll.

A co-production between the United Kingdom and the United States, Straight to Hell was filmed over four weeks on location in Almería, Andalusia, Spain, beginning on 4 August 1986. The production budget was approximately $1 million. Principal photography began at the Gran Hotel Almería, before moving to Benahadux and the Pueblos Blancos.

The Western town featured in the film was located in the Tabernas Desert, and had originally been used for the 1973 film Chino starring Charles Bronson.

Production of the film was troubled, as funds provided by Eric Fellner of Island Pictures ran out approximately midway through filming. As a result, the remainder of the film was financed using traveller's cheques and credit cards.
