Iglesia Adventista El Santuario



The Sanctuary Adventist Church is commonly known today as the Kill Bill Wedding Chapel from Quentin Tarantino’s movie — Kill Bill. In the film, the chapel represents the El Paso, Texas Two Pines Wedding Chapel where the Deadly Viper Assassination Team (Vivica Fox, Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, and David Carradine) attempt to kill The Bride (Uma Thurman). It’s also the church where Father Des Spellacy (played by Robert DeNiro) was banished to in the movie True Confessions.

  4. So often that mustard gold in the southwest is remarkable. Is it the building material, or the paint, or the quality of the light?

  8. A location scout could be forgiven for thinking that he has, prematurely, reached a place of paradisiac bliss.
