True Romance was originally a script entitled Open Road written by QT along with Roger Avary back in their Video Archives days. It was later adapted into two separate movies, the other being Natural Born Killers. Tarantino sold the True Romance script to Tony Scott for $50,000 using the cash to fund his own directorial debut Reservoir Dogs. Tony Scott re-arranged the layout of the film and had Roger Avary re-write the ending. Tarantino's original ending can now be seen on the Special Edition DVD. Upon it's release in 1993 it was a box office flop, not finding true notoriety until the rise in popularity of Reservoir Dogs.

The Story

It's Clarence Worley's birthday and as a present, his boss has set him up with a young call girl named Alabama Whitman. The two spend the night together and when Alabama reveals her true feelings for Clarence it becomes clear that they've both fallen in love with each other. The couple marry and plan to leave Detroit, but not before Clarence decides to get Alabama's belongings back and confront her ex-pimp Drexl Spivey. They soon discover themselves with a whole lot of cocaine and plan to make a new life in Los Angeles. Unbeknownst to them, the mob is on their trail, the cops are wise to them, and they ultimately end up getting stuck in the middle of an explosive situation.
