I don’t know why, but what that brought to mind is From Dusk Til Dawn.

I was on the same wavelength and thought maybe Machete.

A new clue:

  1. Yamaha 600
  2. Jackpot!
  3. Garlic
  4. Metaphorical Castration
  5. Soda can tabs
  6. Dogs underwear
  7. Naked Corrida
  8. The end credits say the following for the three main female characters:
    XXX - la madre puta
    XXX - la puta madre
    XXX - la hija de puta

and :

  1. The two main actors are a married couple in real life.

Mr and Mrs Smith?

Only Lovers Left Alive?

Nope. Although one of the locations of Only Lovers is very close to the one of this movie.

So Cruz and Bardem I suppose, but the one movie I have seen with both of them is defintely not it.

I was especially counting on you to save me from defeat!

And no, it is not Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Last clue coming up very soon.

Final clue before the loss:

  1. Yamaha 600
  2. Jackpot!
  3. Garlic
  4. Metaphorical Castration
  5. Soda can tabs
  6. Dogs underwear
  7. Naked Corrida
  8. The end credits say the following for the three main female characters:
    XXX - la madre puta
    XXX - la puta madre
    XXX - la hija de puta
  9. The two main actors are a married couple in real life.

and now (all in):

  1. The title is a palilogy and one of the final scenes is very reminiscent of this Goya (Duelo a Garrotazos):

Well, if it is this, I have actually seen it, but none of the clues are ringing any concrete bells:

Jamon, Jamon

Rochelle, Rochelle: A Young Girl’s Erotic Journey From Milan To Minsk?

lt is Jamon Jamon! l thought this one would be easier.

As for the clues (spoilers ahead - maybe some NSFW):

  1. Yamaha 600: the one Bardem receives as a “payment” for his services.
  1. Jackpot!:

  1. Garlic: Bardem always carries some garlic with him, and offers some to Penelope Cruz and Stefania Sandrelli. The former’s breast apparently also taste of garlic, among other things.

  2. Metaphorical Castration: Cruz and her boyfriend, José, are having an argument under this bull-shaped sign:

José then climbs on it, hangs from its testicles and break them.

  1. Soda can tabs:
  1. Dogs underwear: José proposes this idea to his mother who owns an underwear factory.

  2. Naked Corrida: a night session by Bardem and his buddy.

  3. The end credits say the following for the three main female characters:
    XXX - la madre puta
    XXX - la puta madre
    XXX - la hija de puta

Nothing to explain here - it made me laugh.

  1. The two main actors are a married couple in real life: Bardem and Cruz. lt was her first movie, and Bardem first main role.

  2. The title is a palilogy and one of the final scenes is very reminiscent of this Goya ( Duelo a Garrotazos ): The title, Jamon Jamon, is also a pun (monra monra is a nursery rhyme). The movie is full of such puns.

Over to you @Ginger_Yellow!

@Djscman: l may need to watch a Seinfeld episode once in my life…

In my defence, I saw it about 25 years ago.

l don’t know how old you are, but l can imagine it has to be very memorable if you see it as a teenager!

You were very close with your Almodovar guess though.

All I really remember about it is that it was shown as part of my school’s film club.

  1. Not set in New York, but it might as well be
  2. Creative liberties
  3. Every last drop
  4. Uprising
  5. Surprising helicopter

The Matrix?

Disney’s Hercules?

Yup. I was worried about actually using the word “labours”. But at least it gets me off the hook.
