The boys catch up with yet another bank robber movie. This time it involves two brothers, Texas, a lot of empty land and dying towns.

The boys return to the world of Guy Ritchie, which means lots of unrealistic violence, unrealistic characters and (at least in this film) an absence of women.

Years ago there were these things called magazines. They were kid's picture books but for adults. One of the more adult versions of a magazine was Heavy Metal. It was basically a comic book for horny dudes who couldn't get a hold of Playboy. In 1981 they made an animated movie about the mag.
