Page One: “Natural Born Killers” (1994)

Screenplay by David Veloz & Richard Rutowski & Oliver Stone, story by Quentin Tarantino

The movie version of the opening:

Lots of differences between script and screen most notably two red-necks enter the diner… note Mallory dancing… one of the red-necks comes on to her… then violence erupts. About the only thing that is the same is the key lime pie.
