Killer Bean Forever
by Molly McCall
Fri, November 16, 2007, 3:00 am PST

What happens when the lead animator on a sequel to a cult action hit decides to break off on his own? He dreams of beans. Jeff Lew led the animation team that worked on "Matrix Reloaded." After it was over, he quit to make his own feature-length film. That's when Killer Bean and cohorts sauntered onto the scene.

If Quentin Tarantino fell asleep in the bulk section of the supermarket, he might dream of these pistol packin' pintos. Settle in for the trailer available on Jeff's site, and you'll see bean bad guys, bean lawmen, bean double dealers, bean swat teams, and bean jokers spitting witty ripostes out the sides of their mouths. Name a classic trope; accent; musical clip; or slow-mo, bullets-blazing, leather-jacket-flapping moment from modern cinema and it's here. Seeing portly pods do it is what makes for killer fun.
