Lust in the Dust | comment |
Lust in the Dust is a 1985 Western comedy film directed by Paul Bartel. The film stars Divine in one of his few non–John Waters roles as a dance hall girl who arrives in Chili Verde with a drifter (Tab Hunter) in search of gold.The title is derived from a nickname for King Vidor's Duel in the Sun, which was largely ignored in its initial release but has become something of a Cult Classic over the years. | |

Bloodless Carnage: No matter who gets shot, there's not even a squib or a drop of blood spilt, since that would ruin the comedic mood of the film. | |

Driven to Suicide: Parodied. Rosie moans she has nothing to live for anymore, and it cuts away to Abel and Big Ed bowing their heads when they hear a gunshot. A seemingly dead Rosie then wakes up, because the bird she'd shot had finished cooking. She tells the camera, "Oh well. Maybe he'll be back tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day." | |

Everybody Has Lots of Sex: It's even discussed in the opening monologue that everyone in the film are obsessed with fucking because of the desert heat.
