[[caption-width-right:220:The best worst film of 1987.]]
''Straight to Hell'' is a 1987 AffectionateParody of [[SpaghettiWestern spaghetti Westerns]], directed by Alex Cox (of ''Film/RepoMan'' fame). Far from his best film, it still holds cult status for many on account of its AllStarCast of punk elites, including Music/JoeStrummer, Music/ElvisCostello and Music/ThePogues.
Three hired guns, Simms, Willy and Norwood (Strummer, Dick Rude and Sy Richardson respectively) sleep in and blow their job. Taking Norwood's pregnant girlfriend (Music/CourtneyLove) with them, they rob a bank and flee to an OutlawTown run by the [=McMahon=] gang (The Pogues), a [[BanditClan family]] of maniacal [[MakesAsMuchSenseInContext coffee addicts]] hell bent on finding the heroes' riches. HilarityEnsues.
The kooky cast of characters also includes a [[ButtMonkey constantly harried]] sausage vendor named Karl (played by Zander Schloss of Circle Jerks), the [=McMahon=]'s sassy Butler, Hives (Costello), a neurotic store clerk and his [[UglyGuyHotWife hot wife]], and plenty of [[LightIsNotGood bad guys in white suits]]. Oh, and Creator/GraceJones for some reason.
It may not be terribly well directed, or acted, or edited, or...anything really, but it's considered by fans to be SoBadItsGood. And anyway, as you'd expect with a cast and crew of musicians, the soundtrack's pretty damn good.
