Trivia:
One of the hookers in Old Town is dressed like Wonder Woman. She is seen from the back, wearing a set of star-spangled hot pants and with a golden lasso at her side. She also appears in the original comic, in a nearly identical shot (when Marv is asking about Goldie, just before Wendy takes him down).

Wow! Comics done right..., 18 March 2005
Author:
mikey1969 from Phoenix, Az
Went to a sneak preview of this movie today, and I was blown away. Over
the years people have tried to emulate the feel of comics on the
screen, and met with mild success(Dick Tracy), minor failure(Hulk), and
solid success(Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow). This is hard to
do, but Sin City hits this dead on. The film is entirely in black and
white(Except for about 20 seconds that I noticed in one scene.), except
for highlights of color(Gorgeous eyes, splattered blood, and red
Converse All-Stars to name a few.). This gives the film a feel that
immerses you into the storyline. Add to this the overly corny duologue
and scenes where scantily(And I DO mean scantily) clad women pull Uzi's
out of literally nowhere, and you have all the right makings for a
transfer of a comic book to the screen. The duologue had me laughing
almost constantly, but it's easy to tell that they wanted you to laugh,
even when they lines were incredibly corny and melodramatic...
The performances in the movie were great as well. I believe my favorite
male character was Marv, played by Micky Rourke, and my favorite female
character was definitely Miho, played by Devon Aoki. It seems that
everyone and their dog was either in this movie, or lent some of their
talents to it, and it shows.
I would definitely suggest that you see this in the theatre the very
first time, because it will NEVER have the same impact on your TV at
home as it does on a 30-foot screen in a dark theatre. I was actually
able to note a few times where the digital cameras were able to
outperform anything film could do.
A lot of violence in this movie, although most of it is either totally
cartoon-style, or off camera, and some gore as well... A good amount of
nudity in the film, ALL of it on camera, so you'll probably want to
leave the kiddies at home.
All in all, one of the best movies I have seen in a long time, and I'll
probably go see it again while it's in the theatres, so that my fiancé
can enjoy it as well...
