Two wild, long-buried collaborations between legendary screenwriter Rudy Wurlitzer and iconoclastic filmmaker Alex Cox, written as a follow-up to their now-legendary Walker at the tail end of the Reagan era and uncannily prophetic in tone. Zero Tolerance and Body Parts plunge into a world where the American Southwest and Honduras become scorched frontiers of corruption, paranoia, and moral collapse - part neo-noir, part political fever dream, and unlike anything else in American independent cinema.
Combining Wurlitzer's existential fatalism with Cox's anarchic satire and pulp exuberance, the scripts follow a suspended Tucson detective and a hapless desert security guard as each stumbles, in his own way, into the wreckage of American imperial ambition - one stalking the violent underside of Reagan-era Sun Belt prosperity, the other deep in a Central American nightmare of warlords, CIA ghosts, and shrimp-farming oligarchs. Violent, hilarious, and hallucinatory, these are savage dispatches from the borderlands where empire, greed, and delusion collide.
Presented in a special tête-bêche edition with cover photographs by Lynn Davis and an introduction by James Kenney.
