For some reason I am reminded by this trailer for the new comedy western Bandidas of the promotional material associated with the Razzie-award-winning Catwoman, material that substituted quotes from press reviews with stills of Halle Berry in a skintight leather catsuit. Bandidas looks rubbish, but the promo takes care to show us that the film contains a sequence in which Salma Hayek has an extended cat fight with Penélope Cruz and another in which the co-stars wear matching hot pink corsets and not much else. It’s the anti-Brokeback Mountain. Then again you can always claim, “Of course it’s an art movie: it’s got Sam Shepard in it and it’s a French-Mexican co-production!”
“No, girls, I’m English—so it’s definitely not a gun.”
[…] Pootergeek links to a trailer for Bandidas – a comedy western starring Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz. I unfortunately agree that the trailer doesn’t appeal at all. […]
