True Romance (1993)

Christian Slater falls in love with Patricia Arquette, the prostitute his boss hired for his birthday, so he goes to pimp Gary Oldman and tries to get her released from his control. This simple act results in the vast violence and destruction that propels the rest of the film. I had always assumed this was another 1990s ultra-violent Bonnie and Clyde on the road clone, similar to Natural Born Killers, and while this film does share many of the same attributes, the majority of the action stays in Los Angeles and the Slater-Arquette coupling are less the perpetrators of the violence and rather just the impetus. It surprisingly has quite a varied cast with Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, and even Bronson Pinchot in a relatively meaty role all making appearances.
