The Devil's Rejects , the Texas State Police start making a full-scale attack against the murderous Firefly family residence for the 1,000+ murders and disappearances that they have caused over the previous several years. Tiny is MIA, Rufus is killed and Mother Firefly is taken into custody. But two of the family members (Otis B. Driftwood and Baby) escape.
The duo seek refuge at a run-down hotel, where they brutally torture, molest, and murder two couples before meeting up with Baby's father Captain Spaulding. In doing so, they evade a massive Texas Ranger dragnet, as well as a group of equally murderous bounty hunters led by Sheriff John Quincey Wydell, whose brother was killed by Mother Firefly in the last movie. Wydell wants to avenge his brother's death, and the countless other victims of the Fireflys, but slowly loses his sanity continuing his chase against the killers. The surviving Firefly clan gather at a whorehouse owned by Captain Spaulding's brother by adoption, Charlie Altamont, where he offers them shelter from the police. Charlie is pressured by Wydell to give the Rejects up. The sheriff takes the family back to the Firefly house where he proceeds to torture them in ways not unlike the ways they tortured their own victims; among them are nailing Otis's hands to his chair, and tormenting Baby over the death of her mother (whom Wydell killed earlier). He lights the house on fire and leaves Otis and Spaulding to burn while taking Baby outside to torture her. Charlie Altamont returns to save his family, but is brutally axed by Wydell. It is only the last minute intervention of Tiny that saves the Firefly family; the giant returns and snaps Wydell's neck. The Rejects are saved and share a brief tearful reunion. Tiny decides to go back into the burning house to die alone and Otis, Baby and Spaulding escape in Charlie's car. The film's final scene has the trio driving into the middle of a police barricade, with no sound heard except Lynyrd Skynyrd's Freebird. As the tempo of the last portion of the song increases, they grab their guns and go forward in a final blaze of glory before being shot to death by the police. The word "fuck" is used in the movie more times than in any other movie ever made so far (it overtook Gary Oldman's ). The word is used 560 times, an average of 5.1 times per minute of the 109 minute long movie. (see also List of films ordered by uses of the word "fuck")There are a couple of references to the Manson Family in the film. Bill Moseley's character, Otis Driftwood, bears a distinct visual similarity to Manson, but his line "I am the Devil, and I am here to do the Devil's work" is a paraphrase of the first words Charles "Tex" Watson, one of the Family, said to Voytek Frykowski before murdering him and four others in 1969. (Steve Railsback, who played Charlie Manson in the movie "Helter Skelter", has a cameo as a police officer.)Dr. Satan and Grandpa Hugo do not appear in the film. Dennis Fimple, the actor who portrayed Grandpa Hugo, passed away before was made and Rob omitted his role out of respect. Dr. Satan's scenes were removed because Rob deemed them too out of place but were present on the DVD's special features. |
