Quiz
The reason Bruce Willis is not credited is because he violated SAG rules for acting in this film for no money. He appeared for fun and as a favor to Quentin Tarantino, and acting for free violated SAG rules. SAG agreed not to sue Willis if his name was not included in the credits.

Blooper
The hotel's vintage telephone switchboard adds an element of comic chaos, but it is not consistently used. Ted answers calls to the front desk by pushing cables into jacks, but Sarah (the little girl in "The Misbehavers") is able to dial another room directly. Also, when the partying guys call and don't know what room they are in, Ted should be able to get the room number right off the switchboard which means that Ted had no excuse to deliver the ice to the wrong room. Also near the end of the scene, Ted is shouting into the phone to send the police but this would be impossible because there was no-one on the switchboard to connect him to an external line.

Citazioni
Angela: Whether you like it or not, you are in the middle of a situation here you cannot just wish your way out of.
Ted the Bellhop: But I've never met you people before! You're complete strangers!
Angela: Everybody starts out as strangers, Ted. It's where we end up that counts.

Versioni alternative
As indicated in the Technical Specifications link for this page on IMDB, there are two different versions of this film: "1 hr 38 min (98 min)" and "1 hr 50 min (110 min) (workprint)". Information on the workprint is as follows: "[The] second version is in English but it is overdubbed with Russian. This makes it almost impossible to work out what is extra as the Russian is much louder than the English and therefore the English cannot be heard for the majority of the movie. I have done some research and have been told that it is impossible to remove the Russian audio. The disc also contains a deleted scene from the Spanish DVD that is an alternate take, not used in either the DVD Version or the Workprint."

"I'm in a situation I can't begin to explain."

I've decided to review each segment separately, this may take a while so if you can't be bothered please feel free to move on, but I'm trying to save you time and money.

Segment#1: The Missing Ingredient

Aka this biggest piece of sh*t I've ever had the (dis)pleasure of viewing. If you want to see how not to make a short story then watch this segment, it's badly timed, badly judged, badly acted - just plain bad. I gave up watching the film on the first attempt because this was just awful, why the hell did they cast Madonna, avoid at all costs. (1/10)

Segment#2: The Wrong Man

Things don't get much better in Rockwell's piece, the cinematography and production design are nice but besides that the entire thing is just dull, the plot is just too deeply structured to work on this small running time. More threatening than comedic; let's move on. (3/10)

Segment#3: The Misbehavers

Believe what others have written, this IS the reason to watch this movie, brilliant non-stop hilarity as Tim Roth's Ted the Bellboy is left in charge of two brat-ish troublesome kids. Rodriguez has a great handle on the mixture of slapstick farce and black comedy that's very satisfying. Things can only get better... (9/10)

Segment#4: The Man From Hollywood ...Except they don't. Tarantino's segment is good enough, lots of experiments with primary colours and long stedicam tracking shots, but you can't help thinking the film is just pandering to Tarantino's ego (he play's the biggest star in Hollywood). But the ending works well and the tension built is fantastic. (8/10)

To finish, Four Rooms would have been better if they had scraped the first two monstrosities (Anders and Rockwell where riding the coattails of Rodriguez and Tarantino anyway and have no where near as much talent) and kept the film as an hour-long TV special. If you must watch it, fast forward the first two segments, you'll save a lot of time and effort...

Overall rating 4/10
