'''''Four Rooms''''' is a 1995 BlackComedy RoundRobin {{Anthology}} film consisting of four segments. Ted is a young ([[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} and rather loopy]]) bellhop working at a once famous Los Angeles hotel that has fallen from grace and become a haven for criminals and creeps. On New Years Eve, he ends up with an interesting set of clientèle as the only employee on staff. HilarityEnsues.

'''Honeymoon Suite - The Missing Ingredient'''

A coven of witches gather for a ceremony to resurrect their petrified goddess. Four of them brought their ingredients, but the fifth failed to bring hers: semen. When Ted shows up, he happens to be the closest male available.

Written and directed by Allison Anders.

'''Room 404 - The Wrong Man'''

After some drunk people at an AmbiguouslyGay disco party ask for ice and screw up their room number, Ted ends up entering the room of a man holding his BoundAndGagged wife at gunpoint. Mistaking him for someone else, he gets forced to partake in a particularly odd S&M game because the man has a "big fucking gun".

Written and directed by Alexandre Rockwell

'''Room 309 - The Misbehavers'''

A Mexican gangster and his wife decide to leave their kids at the room for the night while they go to a party. Rather than call a babysitter, they pay Ted five hundred dollars to tend to them and make sure they don't misbehave. FinaglesLaw immediately takes hold.

Written and directed by RobertRodriguez.

'''Penthouse - The Man From Hollywood'''

After a brief phone call to his boss to be let off for the night, Ted ends up making one last stop. Chester Rush is a famous director (played by QuentinTarantino) holding a private party with some of his buddies from the business. After seeing an old episode of ''Series/AlfredHitchcockPresents'' where a man [[{{Yubitsume}} bets his little finger]] he can start a lighter ten times in a row, they decide to replicate it. They pay Ted $1,000 to be the hatchet man.

Written and directed by QuentinTarantino.

!!This film provides examples of:

* AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: Norman bets his pinky against Chester's car. [[spoiler:He loses.]]
* AdamWesting: Antonio Banderas plays a parody of his usual Mexican BadAss role.
* AnachronicOrder: "The Wrong Man" occurs during the TimeSkip in "The Misbehavers".
* AnimatedCreditsOpening
* BerserkButton: Don't call Ted "Theodore".
** And don't call that ''whore'' a whore!

* DependingOnTheWriter: Ted's characterization changes quite a bit between segments.
* EnfantTerrible: The two kids in "The Misbehavers".
* FootFocus: In "The Missing Ingredient", Eva (Ione Skye) is barefoot through the whole segment, while in "The Misbehavers", Sarah (Lana [=McKissack=]) is forced to take off her shoes and socks to prove to her brother that her feet are not stinky-her cute, young bare soles are shown lovingly in a close-up. (Something else is stinky, though...)
* HeyItsThatGuy: KathyGriffin has one scene as Betty, the woman who was supposed to be assisting Ted, while Marisa Tomei plays her crack-smoking friend.
* HowUnscientific: Evoked by "The Missing Ingredient", which includes what is definitely magic in an otherwise realistic film.
* HumiliationConga: After "The Misbehavers", Ted calls up his co-worker Betty to bring her up to speed (first having a conversation with her equally [[CloudCuckooLander "loopy"]] roommate).
-->'''Betty:''' ''[finally getting on the phone]'' Ted? What's the problem?\\
'''Ted:''' ''[eerily calm]'' Hello Betty. "What's the problem?" I haven't got a problem. I've got fucking ''problems''. Plural. Wanna hear?\\
'''Betty:''' ''[disinterested]'' Sure.\\
'''Ted:''' ''[remaining calm]'' Well most recently, there's Room 309. There's this scary Mexican gangster dude poking his finger in my chest. There's his hooligan kids snapping their fingers at me. [[ItMakesSenseInContext There's the putrid rotting corpse of a dead whore inside the mattress.]] There's a big fat needle, from God knows where, stuck in my leg, infecting me with God knows what. There's rooms blazing afire. And then there's me. Walking out the door. Right fucking now. Buenos noches!
* HurricaneOfEuphemisms: "The Wrong Man" has a whole lot of penis nicknames.
* LargeHam: Quentin Tarantino.
* NewYearHasCome
* NoodleImplements: The guests in "The Man from Hollywood" order a block of wood, a doughnut, a ball of twine, three nails, a club sandwich, a bucket of ice, and an extremely sharp hatchet. "As sharp as the devil himself."

* ShoutOut: The aforementioned episode of ''Series/AlfredHitchcockPresents'', which in turn was an adaptation of a Creator/RoaldDahl story.
* SignatureStyle: Each short is meant to communicate their writer/director's talents. Odds are very good one is not watching the film for the first two directors, though.
* TheCameo: BruceWillis refused money (and credit) for his role in "The Man From Hollywood" as a thank you to Tarantino for casting him in ''PulpFiction''.
* TranquilFury: Ted when describing the events of the night to Betty. See the HumiliationConga example.
