• Director Alex de la Iglesia has become a cult figure in his native Spain for his stylish genre parodies. In 800 BULLETS, he indulges in nostalgia about an era in Spanish filmmaking long gone, when Westerns and epics used the landscape of Spain for their vast background vistas.
• This is a film about antiheros and, as in his previous films, an impossible blend of drama, action a black humour.
• 800 BULLETS was a huge success in Spain, where it received four Goya Award nominations and took home one of them.
