An absurd comedy in a style somewhat like two smoking guns. The film tells three stories, connected through a pawnshop in a small town. 3 drug addicts were going to rob someone who had been supplying them with drugs, and one gave the pawn shop owner a shotgun that was supposed to be used for robbery in order to refuel. He arrives at the meeting place, only to be hit by one of them with a car, just because he suspects he's stolen dozens of dollars from himself. The two dropped him, stole a pair of bows and arrows from the man who was pooping, and went to the drug dealer. Although he was wearing a mask, he was recognized immediately because of his familiar accent. At this time, the knocked down took revenge with the shotgun given by the mysterious man. Several people shot indiscriminately, the shotgun exploded the liquefied gas tank, and there was a big explosion in the hut. A couple on their honeymoon are robbed in a small town, and they come to a pawn shop to pawn off their diamond ring and continue their journey. The groom accidentally found the wedding ring of his ex-wife who had been missing for 6 years. He left the bride and went through layers of clues to finally find his ex-wife. She was kidnapped and kept in a cage like a dog. He killed the kidnapped youth and rescued his wife and more than a dozen naked women in captivity. He drove away with his ex-wife, saying on the way that he had killed the youth. The ex-wife has become a loyal slave because of Stockholm Syndrome. She stabbed her husband to death with a knife, the car hit a tree, and they both hung up. A failed Elvis impersonator comes to town for a parody, and his girlfriend leaves him. In order to cheer, he lost his gold medal, and he was going to fix his hair. Before coming to two barbershops, he chose one of them, arousing the admiration of half of the people behind and the dissatisfaction of half of them. It turned out that the people in the town had to choose one of these two barbershops, and if they chose this one, they became hostile to the one who chose the other (perhaps a reference to the Democrats and Republicans in the United States). As a result, he did not get satisfactory service in both. Then he met a man who said he could succeed if he just gave up something (the devil in Faust). He refused. The show began, but was very unsuccessful, and he accepted the devil's conditions. The next performance was very successful, with a group of naked beauties wearing the national flag (brainwashed kidnappers being released), and a fireworks display from the back of the stage (the explosion of liquefied gas tanks in the drug dealer's hut). After the performance, there are still people talking to him about co-starring. And his girlfriend also came to reconcile with him, but he refused. At this time, the kidnapper who the groom said had been killed appeared, and he took his naked beauty team and the ex-girlfriend of the Elvis imitator (waiting for her must be locked in a cage. But why did the groom say kill? killed him and killed himself). A dwarf came to the pawn shop and he hit the boss. Original Before they came, they met on the road, and the boss pointed his middle finger at him. After that, he kept trying to kill the boss on the road, forcing the boss to sell the car, and it was the groom who bought the car.
In general, it can be seen, some places are still wonderful, but the overall structure is not too tight. The first story lacks a little connection with the latter two.

Pawn Shop Chronicles quotes

  • Raw Dog: I understand why we're supposed to hate niggers. Okay? They look different, they walk different, they talk different. I get it, okay. But Jews, man... why are we supposed to hate the Jews? I just found out Jerry Springer was a Jew. Jerry Fucking Springer, man. If I seen him in the street, I would kiss his ass and ask him for an autograph. I got three Adam Sandler DVDs at home, and I just found out he's a Jew too. If I was in a building and ten Jews sit down next to me, I wouldn't even know it. So what's the difference? They got money? Well, money ain't so bad. Shit, I wish I had some money. They got big noses? At least they're supposed to. Damn Teddy's got a nose that's bigger than this whole damn truck, and he ain't Jewish. So what, are we supposed to hate him? For crying out loud. Jesus is a Jew, man. I mean, we're talking Jesus. We go to church every Sunday, and we pray to the king of the Jews, man.

  • Alton: You calling me a racist?

    Johnson: Well, you don't like black Santa Claus. And last week, you told me you don't like black porno.

    Alton: Now hang on a damn minute. Now that's got nothing to do with racism. I like black chicks in porno movies. I just don't like 'em with the black guys in them, that's all.

    Johnson: Why come? They make you feel inadequate?

    Alton: No. Because their dicks are so dark. They get to fucking, their dicks get wet, they get glisteny and shit, and it's hard for my eyes to unfocus off it. Make me sick.

    Johnson: Eh, well, I guess you got a point.
