It is the longest - running program in television history , though the current format bears little resemblance to the debut episode on November 6 , 1947 . Meet the Press specializes in interviews with leaders in Washington , D.C. , across the country and even the world on issues of politics , economics , foreign policy and other public affairs , along with panel discussions that provide opinions and analysis . It originates from NBC 's bureau in Washington , D.C. The longevity of Meet the Press can be illustrated in consideration of the fact that the program debuted during what was only the second official `` network television season '' for American television . One historical landmark of the program is that it was the first on which a sitting U.S. President , Gerald Ford , appeared on a live television network news program , which occurred on the November 9 , 1975 broadcast . The program has been hosted by 12 different moderators to date , beginning with creator Martha Rountree . The show 's moderator since 2014 is Chuck Todd , who also serves as political director for NBC News . Currently , the hour - long program airs in most markets on Sundays at 9 : 00 a.m. live in the Eastern Time Zone and on tape delay elsewhere . Meet the Press is also occasionally pre-empted due to network coverage of sports events held outside of the U.S. The program is also rebroadcast on Sundays at 2 : 00 p.m. , and Mondays at 2 : 00 a.m. and sometimes 4 : 00 a.m. Eastern Time on MSNBC , whose audio feed is also simulcast on Sirius / XM Satellite Radio . The program is also syndicated by Westwood One to various radio stations around the United States , as well as on C - SPAN Radio as part of its replays of the Sunday morning talk shows .

Originally a half - hour program for most of its history , the show expanded to 60 minutes starting with the September 20 , 1992 , broadcast . The program also features in - depth examinations of facts behind political and general news stories ( particularly as part of a segment called the `` Data Download '' , introduced after Chuck Todd assumed duties as moderator , which is conducted on a touchscreen within the main set . History ( edit ) Meet the Press set , November 1975 . On this broadcast , a sitting American president ( Gerald Ford ) was , for the first time , a guest on a live television network news program . Meet the Press began on radio on the Mutual Broadcasting System in 1945 as American Mercury Presents : Meet the Press , a program to promote The American Mercury , a magazine that Lawrence E. Spivak purchased in 1935 . Before the program aired , Spivak asked journalist Martha Rountree , who had worked in radio and had been employed by Spivak as a roving editor for the magazine , to critique the plans for the new radio show . Based on her advice , Rountree created a new radio program that she called The American Mercury , on October 5 , 1945 . On November 6 , 1947 , while still on the Mutual Broadcasting System , the television rights to the program were purchased by General Foods which began to air the show on the NBC television network with the title shortened to simply Meet the Press ; the radio version also adopted the new name . Although some sources credit Spivak with the program 's creation , Rountree developed the idea on her own , and Spivak joined as co-producer and business partner in the enterprise after the show had already debuted .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( September 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Meet the Press was originally presented as a 30 - minute press conference with a single guest and a panel of questioners . Its first guest was James Farley , who served as Postmaster General , Democratic National Committee chairman and campaign manager to Franklin Delano Roosevelt under the first two terms of the New Deal Administration . Creator Rountree served as its first host , the program 's only female moderator to date . She stepped down on November 1 , 1953 , and was succeeded by Ned Brooks , who remained as moderator until his retirement on December 26 , 1965 . Spivak became the moderator on January 1 , 1966 , moving up from his role as a permanent panelist . He retired on November 9 , 1975 , on a special one - hour edition that featured , for the first time , a sitting president , Gerald Ford , as guest . The next week , Bill Monroe , previously a weekly panelist like Spivak had been years before , took over as moderator and stayed until June 2 , 1984 . For the next seven and a half years , the program then went through a series of hosts as it struggled in the ratings against ABC 's This Week with David Brinkley . Roger Mudd and Marvin Kalb , as co-moderators , followed Monroe for a year , followed by Chris Wallace ( who would later to go on to a much longer run as host of the rival program Fox News Sunday ) from 1987 to 1988 . Garrick Utley , then hosting Weekend Today , concurrently hosted Meet the Press from 1989 through December 1 , 1991 . All this occurred despite the increasing ratings of NBC News ' other programs ( and those of the network generally ) during that period . The program originally aired at noon Eastern Time every Sunday , before moving to a 9 : 00 a.m. slot by the early 1990s . Under Russert ( edit ) Meet the Press logo used from September 10 , 1995 to June 2008 . Russert interviews General Peter Pace in 2006 . Network officials , concerned for the show 's future , turned to Tim Russert , the network 's Washington , D.C. , bureau chief . He took over as moderator of Meet the Press on December 8 , 1991 , and remained with the program until his death on June 13 , 2008 , becoming the longest serving moderator in the program 's history . Under Russert , the program was expanded to one hour and became less of a televised press conference , focusing more on Russert 's questions and comments ; Russert also engaged in longer in - depth interviews and hosted panels of experts to discuss the topics featured in that week 's broadcast . Russert signed off each edition by saying , `` That 's all for today . We 'll be back next week . If it 's Sunday , it 's Meet the Press . '' During the professional football season , Russert , a native of Buffalo , New York , and an avid fan of the Buffalo Bills , sometimes added , `` Go Bills ! , '' and occasionally would ask panelists , `` How ' bout those Sabres ? '' if Buffalo 's NHL hockey team was doing well . Spoofs of the show featured in a recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live often reflected his impromptu additions in support of the two professional sports franchises . By 2006 , Meet the Press was the highest - rated program among the Sunday morning talk shows . Russert died on June 13 , 2008 , of a sudden coronary thrombosis ( caused by a cholesterol plaque rupture ) . Former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw hosted a special edition of Meet the Press dedicated to the life of Russert on June 15 , 2008 , in which Russert 's chair was left empty as a tribute . Guest moderators ( edit ) Andrea Mitchell ( from August 15 , 2004 ) After Russert ( edit ) Mark Whitaker was named by NBC News as the division 's Washington D.C. Bureau Chief and was given `` executive oversight '' of Meet the Press . Interim Brokaw era ( edit ) NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams acted as moderator of the first show following the June 15 tribute to Russert , with the same guests and subject matter that Russert was planning for when he died . Following Russert 's death , Tom Brokaw was named the interim moderator through the 2008 general elections . Brokaw followed Russert 's tradition by signing off with `` We 'll be back next Sunday because if it 's Sunday , it 's Meet the Press '' ( a sign - off that would continue to be used by his successors as moderator ) . In September of that year , the show was presented with limited commercial interruption . On August 10 , David Gregory moderated the panel discussion during the second half - hour of the broadcast , while Brokaw anchored the first half - hour from the site of the Summer Olympics in Beijing . The following week on August 17 , he moderated the entire broadcast . It was also reported on December 1 , 2008 , that the December 7 broadcast would be Brokaw 's last , with Gregory becoming the new permanent host the following Sunday . Under Gregory ( edit ) David Gregory began his tenure as moderator on December 14 , 2008 . Four days after Gregory 's first regular broadcast , on December 18 , NBC News political director Chuck Todd was named contributing editor of Meet the Press . Throughout Gregory 's tenure as moderator , Meet the Press experienced significant ratings declines . In the final three months of 2013 , the program placed third among the Sunday morning talk shows in total viewership , behind CBS 's Face the Nation and ABC 's This Week for the first time since 1992 ; it also experienced the lowest ratings in the show 's entire history among the key 25 - to - 54 age viewing demographic during this period . NBC management became uncertain as to the future direction of the program . A new set was introduced on May 2 , 2010 , featuring video screens and library - style bookshelves ; David Gregory would preview the guests to be featured during each week 's broadcast using a large video screen . Different , modified intro music was also introduced , with the Meet the Press theme music in a shorter `` modernized ( style ) ... the beginning repeated with drum beats '' ( see `` High - definition broadcasting '' below for additional information ) . Transition to Todd ( edit ) U.S. President Barack Obama participates in an interview with Todd in the Cabinet Room of the White House ; September 6 , 2014 . In response to declining viewership , rumors surfaced in August 2014 that Gregory would be replaced as the program 's moderator . NBC News President Deborah Turness apparently had held discussions with Jon Stewart ( host of Comedy Central 's satirical news program The Daily Show ) to replace Gregory , which Stewart later confirmed in a Rolling Stone interview , saying , `` My guess is they were casting as wide and as weird a net as they could . I 'm sure part of them was thinking , ' Why do n't we just make it a variety show ? ' '' On August 14 , 2014 , Turness announced that Chuck Todd , NBC 's chief White House correspondent , would take over the role of moderator on September 7 , 2014 . Meet the Press Daily ( edit ) On September 28 , 2015 , Meet the Press Daily , hosted by Chuck Todd , debuted on MSNBC . High - definition Broadcasting ( edit ) The set utilized from March 17 , 1996 , to April 25 , 2010 , had been designed as an experimental set for high - definition broadcasting ; several editions of the program ( including the first broadcast of a regular series on a major television network in HD ) had aired in the format in the 1990s over experimental HD station WHD - TV in Washington , D.C. Despite this , the program continued to be transmitted in 480i standard definition over the NBC network itself . On May 2 , 2010 , Meet the Press became the last NBC News program to convert to high definition , and unveiled a new set consisting of large video screens mostly used to display Washington scenery , satellite interview subjects and moderator and subject talking points , along with graphics produced for the format .

Rhine -- Herne canal - wikipedia Rhine -- Herne canal Jump to : navigation , search View from the Gasometer Oberhausen The Rhine -- Herne Canal ( German : Rhein - Herne - Kanal ) is a 45.6 - kilometre - long ( 28.3 mi ) transportation canal in the Ruhr area of North Rhine - Westphalia , Germany , with five canal locks . The canal was built over a period of eight years ( 5 April 1906 - 14 July 1914 ) and connects the harbour in Duisburg on the Rhine ( 51 ° 26 ′ 59 '' N 6 ° 46 ′ 1 '' E  /  51.44972 ° N 6.76694 ° E  / 51.44972 ; 6.76694 ) with the Dortmund - Ems Canal near Henrichenburg ( 51 ° 37 ′ 1 '' N 7 ° 19 ′ 19 '' E  /  51.61694 ° N 7.32194 ° E  / 51.61694 ; 7.32194 ) , following the valley of the Emscher . It was widened in the 1980s . The Rhein - Herne canal ship was designed specifically for this canal ; normally of about 1300 -- 1350 ton capacity , it has a maximum draft of 2.50 metres ( 8.2 ft ) , a length of approximately 80 metres ( 260 ft ) , and maximum beam of 9.50 metres ( 31.2 ft ) . Originally the Rhine - Herne canal ended in Herne , where it met a branch of the Dortmund - Ems - Kanal running from Henrichenburg to Herne , the intersection situated just above the East Herne lock . After the closure of the last part of the Henrichenburg to Herne canal , the Henrichenburg - Herne section of the Dortmund - Ems was added to the Rhein - Herne Canal .

Located at Duisburg - Meiderich , Oberhausen , Gelsenkirchen , Wanne - Eickel and East Herne , they pump water from the Rhine into the canal at each stage . As well as this , water from the Lippe river to the east is brought in through the Datteln - Hamm Canal . Locks ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( December 2009 ) Duisburg - Meiderich sluicegate ( edit ) In 1980 the current sluicegate was completed , including a 24 - metre - high ( 79 ft ) under-gate and control platform , which has now become a visible yellow landmark in the Ruhr landscape . The intended harbour of the old lock is today underwater and part of the foundations of the canal walls . This harbour was meant to be a possible spot for the eventual significant reconstruction of the lock , but it was never used for this purpose . A possible reconstruction of the sluice gate was commissioned in 1914 with the canal opening . Instead of the old sluice of 165 metres ( 541 ft ) in length and 10 metres ( 33 ft ) in breadth a new sluice chamber with a usable length of 190 metres ( 620 ft ) and a breadth of 12 metres ( 39 ft ) were commissioned , so that bigger ships with lighters ( barges ) as specified in Euro class II can pass through the sluice gates . Ports ( edit ) Duisburg ( edit ) Main article : Duisburg § Duisburg Port The canal begins in Duisburg along with the Schifffahrtskanal ; connected to land by three bays of the Kanalhafen , and to the rest of the world via the Rhine . The Rhine - Herne Canal headquarters is in the Meiderich district of Duisburg , it serves as the water and shipping management canal and its locks from Essen to Herne . From here maintenance and repair work are organised and performed . Oberhausen marina ( edit ) The Oberhausen marina is a yacht port opened in 2004 in close proximity to the CentrO shopping centre . The port has a water depth of 2.5 metres ( 8.2 ft ) and over 13 bridges . Also at the Oberhausen marina are the attractions Sealife Oberhausen and Oberhausen Modellbahn World . City port of Essen ( edit ) The Stadthafen Essen ( City port of Essen ) is the youngest port on the Rhine -- Herne Canal opened in 1934 by the city of Essen , and operated since 1987 by Stadtwerke Essen . The port consists of a doubled sided canal side quay together with a harbour port at right angles onto the canal , which together form a water area of 63,000 square metres ( 680,000 sq ft ) with associated dock - land of 300,000 square metres ( 3,200,000 sq ft ) The dock handles bulk goods such as solid mineral fuels , petroleum and chemical products , stone , earth and iron and steel as well as recyclable materials , and is an important transhipment point . City port of Gelsenkirchen ( edit ) The port of Gelsenkirchen The port of the city of Gelsenkirchen ( Stadthafen Gelsenkirchen ) was opened in July 1914 and is the oldest port on the Rhine -- Herne Canal . The port has two docks branched from the canal situated just east of the lock at Gelsenkirchen and has a water surface of 117,800 square metres ( 1,268,000 sq ft ) . The industrial port is ~ 900 by 60 metres ( 2,950 by 200 ft ) and the trading port ~ 500 by 75 metres ( 1,640 by 246 ft ) . A private railway of length 18.4 kilometres ( 11.4 mi ) is operated which is linked to the tracks of the Deutsche Bahn Formerly the port dealt mainly with coal and mining products , now the port is a major hub for petroleum products and second - largest inland port for cereals in North Rhine - Westphalia . It is operated by the Gelsenkirchener Logistik - , Hafen - und Servicegesellschaft ( Gelsenkirchener logistics , harbour and service company . ) a subsidiary of Stadtwerke Gelsenkirchen . Port Grimberg ( edit ) The port at Grimberg Hafen Grimberg ( Port Grimberg ) is on the south canal bank in Gelsenkirchen , near the city boundary to Herne . It was named after the nearby Castle Grimberg , of which today only the foundations remain . Built in 1914 by the Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks AG ( GBAG ) to provide a link to the GBAG mines of Rheinelbe , Alma and Pluto as well as supplying the ironworks of ' Schalker group ' with imported ore . Around the same time , and up to 1929 the industrial railway of Erzbahn was built , serving the Schalker and Bochum group iron and steelworks . Between 1937 and 1968 Grimberg harbour was one of the major ports on the canal . In 1968 steel production at the southern end of the Erzbahn at Bochum ended , in 1982 the Schalker works closed - with this the use of the port for transport of iron ore ended . Such was the emphasis on iron ore that much of the port now stands empty , part of it nowadays is used for the processing of recycled materials for the building industry , as well as a storage facility . Ports Wanne west and Wanne east ( edit ) See also : Wanne - Herner Eisenbahn und Hafen Like many other the port of Westhafen Wanne ( Wanne west harbour ) was originally built for the mutual benefit of the mines and canal , with a railway connecting the two . Today the quayside still has coal traffic and associated industries . The docks of the port at Wanner West were filled in to make room for the Güterverkehrszentrum Emscher - a logistics ( road , rail and river ) centre working in association with other companies . The Wanne - Herner Eisenbahn und Hafen GmbH ( WHE ) operates both the remaining canal side docks and the associated railway . The Osthafen Wanne ( Port Wanne east ) are also operated by the WHE ; the ports and rail link serves a major scrap metal works . City port of Recklinghausen ( edit ) Recklinghausen port ( 2008 ) grain terminal Originally the city of Recklinghausen had no access to the canal ; through an exchange of land with the city of Herne the city gained access to the canal . In recent decades , the port was abandoned . However through the actions of the company ' United Mills ' grain shipments were made using a mobile crane . Since late 2007 , the port has expanded and a grain loading plant installed : new mills and silos have been installed . Port of the Frederick the Great mine ( edit ) The Hafen der Zeche Friedrich der Große ( Frederick the Great mine port ) is directly south of the Port of the King Ludwig mine , as of 2009 the port is the site of an industrial estate named the Industriegebeit Friedrich der Große . The harbour which is cut parallel to the canal is still extant , but without fixed infrastructure , cranes etc . Port of the King Ludwig mine ( edit ) The Hafen der Zeche König Ludwig served the coal transported from , and deliveries to the former King Ludwig mine . It is located at kilometer 38 of the canal , just upstream of the Herne Ost lock , on the north bank opposite the Hafen der Zeche Friedrich der Große ( Frederick the Great mine port ) . The 6,900 - square - metre ( 1.7 - acre ) harbor basin was built from 1897 to 1898 when the section of the canal ( the then branch channel of the Dortmund - Ems Canal ) , was already flooded . In 1912 , at the colliery port handled 360,096 tonnes of goods . In 1913 the docks expanded . Because of mining subsidence by 1954 the quaywall had to be increased by 2.50 metres ( 8.2 ft ) . In the 1980s , it was leased to Automobil - und Motorbootsport - Club Castrop - Rauxel e . V ( The car and motorboat club of Castrop - Rauxel ) and is used from recreational boating , being no longer used by Ruhrkohle AG , and contains many small boats . The former mine railway , which starts at the harbour is now a walking and biking trail . Port Victor ( edit ) Looking east - northeast towards Port Victor on the Rhine - Herne Canal The Victor Harbor ( Hafen Victor ) was created to serve the former colliery ' Victor ' which finished all operations in 1973 . The port is in the city of Castrop - Rauxel in the vicinity of Schloss Bladenhorst ( Castle ' Blade Horst ' ) , about 2 kilometres ( 1.2 mi ) upstream from the Hafen der Zeche Friedrich der Große also on the south bank . Today the port still handles coal with the help of two gantry cranes . Port Rütgers ( edit ) Looking east towards Port Rütgers Port Rütgers ( Hafen Rütgers ) is the port of Rütgers Chemicals ( founded by Julius Rütgers ) and is about 500 metres ( 1,600 ft ) upstream of the Port Victor on the east side of the canal after the canal makes a slight bend to the north . The main product dealt with here is pitch obtained from coal tar from the refining of coal . The port has a Pneumatic barrier . Port Luck ( edit ) Port Luck Port Luck ( Hafen Luck ) belongs to the construction and building materials company Luck located on the east bank , a little more than 2 kilometres upstream of Rütgers Chemicals . Port Marmorit ( edit ) Port marmorit with its single fixed crane Port Marmorit ( Hafen Marmorit ) is the port of cement and lime mortar manufacturer and distributor Marmorit Knauf GmbH located north of a disused canal side channel and just north of the bridge carrying Wartburgstraße ( Wartburgstreet ) . The actual facility consists of little more than a pier . Waltrop lock park ( edit ) Here after 45.6 kilometres ( 28.3 mi ) ends ( or begins ) the Rhine -- Herne Canal , which meets the Dortmund - Ems canal ( at the 14.7 - kilometre mark ) near the old Henrichenburg boat lift ( replaced in 1962 by a newer lock , and in 1989 by a new larger lock ) . The terminal is used as a mooring for pleasure craft . It forms part of the Waltrop lock park . Ecosystem ( edit ) Fish that inhabit the canal include European eel , European carp , zander , carp bream , common roach and common rudd , as well as the less common pike and rainbow trout .

Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( November 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Prologue Mickey Knox and his wife Mallory stop at a diner in the New Mexico desert . A duo of rednecks arrive and one begins sexually harassing Mallory while she is dancing . She briefly encourages him before beating him to a pulp , screaming `` How sexy am I now , huh flirty boy ? '' . Mickey and Mallory then murder all but one of the diner 's staff , and one customer , culminating in a morbid game of Eeny , meeny , miny , moe to decide who lives and dies . After killing the waitress Mabel , the couple ensures that the only survivor remembers their names so that he can pass on the legend of Mickey and Mallory before they embrace and declare their undying love . Part I Mickey and Mallory camp out in the desert , and Mallory reminisces about when they first met . A flashback ( done in the style of a TV sitcom , including a laughtrack ) shows Mickey as a meat deliveryman who came to the house where Mallory lived with her sexually abusive father , her neglectful mother , and her younger brother , Kevin . Mickey and Mallory fall in love instantly and leave together , stealing Mallory 's father 's car . Soon Mickey is arrested and imprisoned for auto theft , but he subsequently escapes from a prison work farm during a tornado and returns to Mallory 's house . The two kill Mallory 's parents , but spare Kevin . Mallory 's father is beaten and then drowned in the fish tank while her mother is tied to her bed and set on fire . Mickey and Mallory then go on the road together and get `` married '' on the side of a bridge , celebrating by taking a hostage . Furious with Mickey 's notion that they have a threesome , Mallory drives to a nearby gas station , where she flirts with the mechanic . They begin to have sex on the hood of a car , but Mallory kills him when he recognizes her as a wanted killer . During this time , Mickey rapes the hostage . Part ii The pair continue their killing spree , ultimately claiming fifty - two victims in New Mexico , Arizona , and Nevada . Pursuing them is Detective Jack Scagnetti , who became obsessed with mass murderers after witnessing his mother being shot and killed by Charles Whitman when he was eight . Beneath his heroic facade , he is a violent psychopath . The audience witnesses Scagnetti violently strangle a prostitute to death . The killers are also followed by self - serving tabloid journalist Wayne Gale . Gale profiles Mickey and Mallory on his show , American Maniacs , soon elevating them to cult hero status . Mickey and Mallory get lost in the desert after taking psychedelic mushrooms . They come across a ranch where they encounter Warren Red Cloud , a Navajo Indian , and his young grandson . The Navajo provides them with food and shelter . After the two fall asleep , the Navajo , hoping to expel the demon he perceives in Mickey , begins chanting beside the fire . This invokes nightmares in Mickey about his abusive parents . Mickey wakes up in a panicked rage and fatally shoots Red Cloud before he realizes what he is doing . Mallory wakes up to the sound of the gunshot and starts screaming at Mickey for killing the man who sheltered them . This is the first time Mallory and Mickey feel guilty for a murder . Fleeing from the scene , they step outside of the house and come across a field of rattlesnakes . Mallory does not see the snakes and gets bitten first . Mickey lights a stick on fire to expose the snakes . While he is trying to help Mallory he also gets bitten . They drive to a drugstore to find snakebite antidote , however the store is completely sold out . Mallory falls to the ground while Mickey runs to the pharmacy with the hopes that there will be more medication in stock . The pharmacist recognizes Mickey from the news report and sets off the silent alarm before Mickey kills him . Soon police cars arrive and Mallory is captured and subsequently beaten by the police . A gunfight breaks out between Mickey and the others while Mallory is held hostage . Scagnetti arrives and tells Mickey that unless he surrenders , he will cut off Mallory 's breasts . Mickey gives up his guns , but attacks Scagnetti with a knife . The police taser him and the scene ends with Mickey and Mallory being beaten by a group of vengeful policemen as a Japanese news crew fronted by a female reporter films the action . Part iii The story picks up one year later : the homicidal couple have been imprisoned , and are due to be moved to a mental hospital after being declared insane . Mickey and Mallory have now gone one year without seeing each other . Scagnetti arrives at the prison and encounters Warden Dwight McClusky , with whom he plans to murder the two criminals . McClusky will arrange for Scagnetti to be the driver for the Knoxes ' transfer . Alone with the pair , Scagnetti will murder them , then claim that they tried to escape . Meanwhile , Gale has persuaded Mickey to agree to a live interview that will air immediately after the Super Bowl . Mallory is held in solitary confinement elsewhere in the prison , awaiting her transport to the mental hospital . During the interview , Mickey gives a speech about how murder provides enlightenment and declares himself a `` natural born killer '' . His words inspire the other inmates ( who are watching the interview on TV in the recreation room ) and incite them to riot . McClusky , upon learning of the riot , orders the interview terminated despite Gale 's vehement protests . Mickey is left alone with Gale , the film crew and several guards . Using a lengthy joke as a diversion , Mickey overpowers a guard and grabs his shotgun . He kills most of the guards with it and takes the survivors hostage , leading them through the prison riot . Gale follows , giving a live television report as people are beaten and killed around him . While this riot is unfolding , Scagnetti enters Mallory 's cell and attempts to seduce her . Mallory , feigning to reciprocate at first , rebuffs his efforts , smashing his face against the wall and breaking his nose . The two guards outside the cell struggle to enter while Mallory attacks Scagnetti . Finally , the two guards subdue her , and Scagnetti sprays her face with tear gas in revenge . Still live on national television , Mickey arrives at Mallory 's cell , where he kills all the guards and engages in a Mexican standoff with Scagnetti , eventually feigning a concession . Mallory then approaches Scagnetti from behind and slashes his throat with a shank . To Scagnetti 's horror , Mickey tells him that he was out of shotgun shells during the standoff . Mallory then picks up Scagnetti 's gun , saying `` You still like me now , Jack ? '' and kills him . Mickey and Mallory continue to escape through the riot torn prison , with Gale 's entire TV crew getting killed . Gale himself snaps , succumbing to Stockholm syndrome as well as indulging in his own longtime fascination for murder , and begins to shoot at the guards with a pistol that he has taken from one of the dead guards , but gets so frenzied that Mickey prefers to disarm him . After being rescued by a mysterious prisoner named Owen Traft , the trio of Mickey , Mallory , and Gale run into McClusky and a heavily armed posse of guards . The trio takes cover in a blood - splattered shower room . McClusky threatens to storm the shower room ; Mickey , in turn , threatens to kill both Gale and a guard on live TV , and the prisoners walk out the front door , to McClusky 's utter dismay , as he helplessly threatens to hunt them down . McClusky and his guards are then quickly massacred by hordes of inmates . Mickey and Mallory steal a van and kill the last guard ; Owen 's fate is unknown . Escaping to a rural location , they give a final interview to Gale , whose ear they have seemingly removed ( implied , but as a camera track reveals ) , before they tell him he must die also . He attempts various arguments to change their minds , finally appealing to their trademark practice of leaving one survivor ; Mickey informs him they are leaving a witness to tell the tale , his camera . Gale accepts his fate and extends his arms as if on a cross as they shoot him dead while his unattended camera continues to roll . The couple is shown several years later , in an RV , with Mickey driving and a pregnant Mallory watching their two children play .

Tarantino had sold an option for his script to producers Jane Hamsher and Don Murphy for $10,000 after he had tried , and failed , to direct it himself for $500,000 . Hamsher and Murphy subsequently sold the screenplay to Warner Bros. Around the same time , Oliver Stone was made aware of the script . He was keen to find something more straightforward than his previous production , Heaven & Earth ; a difficult shoot which had left him exhausted , and he felt that Natural Born Killers could be what he was looking for . David Veloz , associate producer Richard Rutowski , and Stone rewrote the script , keeping much of the dialogue but changing the focus of the film from journalist Wayne Gale to Mickey and Mallory . The script was changed so much that as per WGA rules , Tarantino was credited for the film 's story only . In a 1993 interview , Tarantino stated that he did not hold any animosity towards Stone , and that he wished the film well ; `` It 's not going to be my movie , it 's going to be Oliver Stone 's , and God bless him . I hope he does a good job with it . If I was n't emotionally attached to it , I 'm sure I would find it very interesting . If you like my stuff , you might not like this movie . But if you like his stuff , you 're probably going to love it . It might be the best thing he 's ever done , but not because of anything to do with me . ( ... ) I actually ca n't wait to see it , to tell you the truth . '' Initially , when producers Hamsher and Murphy had first brought the script to Stone 's attention , he had seen it as an action film ; `` something Arnold Schwarzenegger would be proud of . '' As the project developed however , incidents such as the O.J. Simpson case , the Menendez brothers case , the Tonya Harding / Nancy Kerrigan incident , the Rodney King incident , and the Federal assault of the Branch Davidian sect all took place . Stone came to feel that the media was heavily involved in the outcome of all of these cases , and that the media had become an all - pervasive entity which marketed violence and suffering for the good of ratings . As such , he changed the tone of the movie from one of simple action to a satirical critique of the media in general . Also coloring Stone 's approach , and contributing to the violent nature of the film , were the anger and sadness he felt at the breakdown of his second marriage . He also said in an interview that the film was influenced by the `` vitality '' of Indian cinema . He let Rodney Dangerfield write or rewrite all of his own character 's lines . During pre-production , to prepare for the role of Wayne Gale , Downey spent time with Australian TV shock - king Steve Dunleavy , and later convinced Stone to allow him to portray Gale with an Australian accent . Also during pre-production , Stone tried to convince actress Juliette Lewis to bulk up for the role of Mallory so that she looked tougher , but she refused , saying she wanted the character to look like a pushover , not a bodybuilder . Principal photography took only 56 days to shoot , but the editing process went on for 11 months , with the final film containing almost 3,000 cuts ( most films have 600 -- 700 ) . Filming locations included the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge just west of Taos , New Mexico , where the wedding scene was filmed , and Stateville Correctional Center in Joliet , Illinois , where the prison riot was filmed . In Stateville , 80 % of the prisoners are incarcerated for violent crimes . For the first two weeks on location at the prison , the extras were actual inmates with rubber weapons . For the subsequent two weeks , 200 extras were needed because the Stateville inmates were on lockdown . According to Tom Sizemore , during filming on the prison set , Stone would play African tribal music at full blast between takes to keep the frantic energy up . Whilst shooting the POV scene wherein Mallory runs into the wire mesh , director of photography Robert Richardson broke his finger and the replacement cameraman cut his eye . According to Oliver Stone , he was n't too popular with the camera department on set that day . For the scenes involving rear projection , the projected footage was shot prior to principal photography , then edited together , and projected onto the stage , behind the live actors . For example , when Mallory drives past a building and flames are projected onto the wall , this was shot live using footage projected onto the facade of a real building . The famous Coca - Cola polar bear ad is seen twice during the film . According to Stone , Coca - Cola approved the use of the ad without having a full idea of what the film was about . When they saw the completed film , they were furious . The film 's soundtrack was produced by Stone and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails , who reportedly watched the film over 50 times to `` get in the mood '' . Reznor reportedly produced the soundtrack while on tour . On his approach to compiling the soundtrack , Reznor told MTV : I suggested to Oliver ( Stone ) to try to turn the soundtrack into a collage - of - sound , kind of the way the movie used music : make edits , add dialog , and make it something interesting , rather than a bunch of previously released music . Some songs were written especially for the film or soundtrack , such as `` Burn '' by Nine Inch Nails . Style Natural Born Killers is shot and edited in a frenzied and psychedelic style consisting of black and white , animation , and other unusual color schemes , and employing a wide range of camera angles , filters , film stocks , lenses , and special effects . Much of the film is told via parodies of television shows , including a scene ( I Love Mallory ) presented in the style of a sitcom about a dysfunctional family . Commercials which were commonly on the air at the time of the film 's release make brief , intermittent appearances . In his DVD director 's commentary , Stone goes into great detail about the look of the film , explaining scene by scene why a particular look was chosen for a particular scene . According to Hollywood.com , Natural Born Killers is a satirical crime film , while Foster Hirsch deemed it `` the crime film as would - be social and cultural satire '' . Stone considered it his road film , specifically naming Bonnie and Clyde as a source of inspiration . The famous death scene in Bonnie and Clyde used innovative editing techniques provided by multiple cameras shot from different angles at different speeds ; this sporadic interchange between fast - paced and slow - motion editing that concludes Arthur Penn 's film is used throughout the entirety of Natural Born Killers . Furthermore , both films fall under the road film genre through their constant challenges of the society in which the characters live . While Bonnie and Clyde attempt to disintegrate the weakened economic and social landscape of the 1930s , Mickey and Mallory try to free America from the overarching conventions which influence the common masses , primarily the media . However , whilst Bonnie and Clyde concludes with a pessimistic outlook regarding individual freedom within the American sphere of influence , Oliver Stone sees Natural Born Killers as having an optimistic finale . In Bonnie and Clyde , the police 's ambush of the couple exhibits the empirical control of law enforcement over the individual . Natural Born Killers , however , ends with the couple symbolically destroying the mass media , as represented by Wayne Gale , and successfully fleeing together to live a relatively `` normal '' life . As Stone himself says , `` In its own way , Natural Born Killers is ultimately a very optimistic film about the future . It 's about freedom , and the ability of every human being to get it . '' Release Box Office This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( November 2014 ) In its opening weekend , Natural Born Killers grossed a total of $11,166,687 in 1,510 theaters . As of January 12 , 2007 , the film had grossed a total of $50,282,766 domestically , compared to its $34 million budget . Critical response The film received a mixed critical response . As of December 1 , 2017 , the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes records an average response of 46 % , based on 37 reviews . However , Metacritic records a score of 74 out of 100 based on 20 reviews . Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film four stars out of four and wrote , `` Seeing this movie once is not enough . The first time is for the visceral experience , the second time is for the meaning . '' On his television show , his partner Gene Siskel agreed with him , adding extra praise to the scene featuring Rodney Dangerfield . Other critics found the film unsuccessful in its aims . Hal Hinson of The Washington Post claimed that `` Stone 's sensibility is white - hot and personal . As much as he 'd like us to believe that his camera is turned outward on the culture , it 's vividly clear that he ca n't resist turning it inward on himself . This would n't be so troublesome if Stone did n't confuse the public and the private . '' Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote , `` for all its surface passions , Natural Born Killers never digs deep enough to touch the madness of such events , or even to send them up in any surprising way . Mr. Stone 's vision is impassioned , alarming , visually inventive , characteristically overpowering . But it 's no match for the awful truth . '' James Berardinelli gave the film a negative review but his criticism was different from many other such pans , which generally said that Oliver Stone was a hypocrite for making an ultra-violent film in the guise of a critique of American attitudes . Berardinelli noted that the movie `` hits the bullseye '' as a satire of America 's lust for bloodshed , but repeated Stone 's main point so often and so loudly that it became unbearable . Lionsgate Films released a director 's cut on DVD . Stone himself retained ownership of his preferred cut . Distribution rights to the director 's cut reverted from Lionsgate to Warner Bros. in 2009 , giving Warner all distribution rights . Controversies Censorship When the film was first handed in to the MPAA , they told Stone they would give it an NC - 17 unless he cut it . As such , Stone toned down the violence by cutting approximately four minutes of footage , and the MPAA re-rated the film as an R. In 1996 , a Director 's Cut was released on home video by Vidmark Entertainment and Pioneer Entertainment , as Warner Bros. wanted nothing to do with that particular version . Warner Home Video later released this cut on Blu - ray . The film was banned completely upon release in Ireland , including -- controversially -- from cinema clubs , in significant part because the principal characters have Irish names . The ban was later quietly lifted . In the UK , though the cinema release was delayed while the BBFC investigated reports that the film caused copycat murders in the USA and France , it was finally shown in cinemas in February 1995 . The original intended UK home video release in March 1996 was cancelled due to the Dunblane massacre in Scotland . In the meantime , Channel Five showed the film in November 1997 . It was finally released on video in July 2001 . Entertainment Weekly ranked the film as the eighth most controversial film ever . `` Copycat '' crimes Main article : Natural Born Killers copycat crimes From almost the moment of its release , the film has been accused of encouraging and inspiring numerous murderers in North America , including the Heath High School shooting and the Columbine High School massacre .
