    Fred Durst was originally set to direct.[4][5]

    The movie was filmed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in June 2012. The film's carnival scene was filmed at William and Lee Park in Port Allen, Louisiana.[6][7]

    Critical reception[edit]

    OnRotten Tomatoes it has a 18% approval rating based on reviews from 17 critics.[8]OnMetacritic the film has a score of 26 out 100 based on reviews from 10 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[9]

    Variety called it "A sub-Tarantino triptych of comic-violent tall tales consisting mostly of bad things happening to dumb people."[3] Stephen HoldenofThe New York Times, said of the film, "Hee Haw meets Pulp Fiction at the meth lab: That describes the style of Pawn Shop Chronicles, a hillbilly grindhouse yawp of a movie that belches in your face and leaves a sour stink."[10]

    The film was reviewed favorably by JoBlo.com. For the site, reviewer JimmyO wrote, "Pawn Shop Chronicles is a wildly bizarre and politically incorrect mix of b-movie genres wrapped into one. Kramer – with the script by Minarovich – amps up the action and violence without pushing it too far – well at least for my personally warped taste."[11]
