Synopsis

Director Alex de la Iglesia has become a cult figure in his native Spain for his stylish genre parodies. In 800 BULLETS, he waxes nostalgic about an era in Spanish filmmaking long gone, when Westerns and epics used the landscape of Spain for their vast background vistas. The film centres on Carlos, a rambunctious youth who ditches a school field trip to find the grandfather that his uptight mother has hidden from him. Carlos finds the old man a relic of his former self: whereas he was once a top Spaghetti Western stunt-man, he is now reduced to running a tawdry little western theme park for tourists. But Carlos' appearance fills the old man with some of his youthful vigour; while Carlos himself finds in his grandfather an appealing entry into the corrupt adult world. 800 BULLETS was a huge success in Spain, where it received four Goya Award nominations and took home one of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wacky, weird, exciting, fun and Brilliant!!, 8 Nov 2008
After watching Accion Mutante I seeked the directors other films and found this. Like with Accion Mutante, I'd never heard of this film or director and was very surprised at how great the film was! I don't know how this isn't a cult classic, it's fantastic, very well made, written and full of odd humor. The film follows a young boy who finds that his Dead father worked (and died) at a wild west film set. The boy escapes his strict mother (with her credit cards) and finds his lazy Grandfather still working at the run down film set, now an Audience-empty wild west show. Here he befriends his grandfather and the other zany characters that work there and get drunk every night. Everything goes wrong when the boy's mum shows up and the Grandfather is told the wild west village is going to be knocked down. The fun really starts when the grandfather buys 800 Bullets and begins a cleverly mocking yet twisted spin, of and old western film! The film is genuinly funny and quite childishly entertaining, it has obviously been crafted by people who love westerns and wanted to make one, and in a weird way, they have made one. The plot does go on and on in a never ending mess of ideas and random acts, but that is the style of the film, you never know where it's going but you're happy to go along with the ride and expierence the fun of the journey. For such a great film, it is odd that it's not well-known and if you're wondering if you should buy this but are hesitant because of lack of reviews (like i was), i don't think anyone would be dissapointed. This is an action packed, brilliantly well done, hidden gem.
