They Came to Rob Las Vegas

The Tarantino Connection
In Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time ...in Hollywood" you can see a poster of this movie. Gary Lockwood had also starred in Model Shop, one of the films that has a billboard featured in Once Upon A Time. But wait, before you head off.. there is more that connects director Antonio Isasi-Isasmendi to Tarantino: his Eurocrime action flick Summertime Killer will sound familiar to Tarantino fans' ears: its main theme appeared in "Kill Bill". Also used as background music for QT and Roger Avary's Video Archives podcast.
