"...you rent movies. Sometimes you let your boyfriend pick one out. He felt pretty bad about this one, at first, but I reassured him I was thoroughly enjoying it, only lamenting that we had not altered our consciousness beforehand. This movie is SO BAD that it's hilarious...I don't think many Mexicans were actually involved in the making of this film, and it's a miracle that it was actually made into a film. Actually quite fast paced, but really as silly as can be. Bring your own brownies."

Some behind the scene info..

"Ok, Blow isn't the best movie I have seen so far. But if you know how this film was made you will understand why it hasn't become a blockbuster. The movie was made for like $ 150.000,= or so, which is nothing. Director Will Harper took is crew in busses to Mexico and, guerilla style, started shooting. Asking locals to cooperate. There wasn't enough money for stuntmen, so Will himself did some of them, which he'd better not done. There is a scene were all hell breaks loose and there is one big explosion where that Vincent guy flies through your screen. In fact that is the director, crying from pain, because the mechanism that launched him shred his Achilles tendon. It took him 2 years to recover... So, yes this a B-movie, but with this info in mind it's worth to have a look at it... ;-)
(no I wasn't involved in this movie!)"
