After his Hollywood years English Alex Cox directed his best films
Straight to Hell, 1987 Spain.
IMDb 5.5: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094048/?ref_=rt_li_tt
Walker, 1987 Nicaragua.
IMDb 6.5: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096409/?ref_=rt_li_tt
Highway Patrolman, 1991 Mexico.
IMDb 7.1: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105114/?ref_=rt_li_tt
Straight to Hell, 1987 Spain.
Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_to_Hell_(film)The film was not originally intended to be made at all, and the reason for a preponderance of musicians in the cast was the result of a concert tour of Nicaragua that was planned in the first place.
Political problems arose concerning the support of the left-wing government of Nicaragua, and the tour was cancelled.
In its place Cox decided to have the bands, and several actors he could assemble, make a movie in Almería, Spain. Cox and co-star Dick Rude wrote a script in three days, and the entire film was shot in just four weeks.
Alex Cox turned down the chance to direct Three Amigos in order to film Straight to Hell.
IMDb 5.5: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094048/?ref_=rt_li_tt
Walker, 1987 Nicaragua.
Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walker_(film)The dying economy of Granada received a significant boost by the production with 300 local carpenters hired to build sets, 6,000 people hired as extras and army supplied security guards and a Soviet-built MI-18 transport helicopter used in the film.
Electricity poles in the town plaza were torn down leaving homes without light. Some families were left temporarily without a telephone because the production needed their lines and the government could not afford to install new ones. The central square was covered with several inches of dirt to recreate 1850s conditions.
The screenplay was edited by the country's Vice-President Sergio Ramirez and Minister of Culture Ernesto Cardenal, who were also a novelist and a poet respectively. Both men, along with the Minister of Education, the country's Interior Minister, and a military commander, would occasionally visit the set.
