MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A Mexican couple were recovering separately after a marital spat got out of control and saw them firing guns, throwing knives and hurling homemade bombs, Mexican daily Milenio said on Monday.

In scenes taken straight out of hit romantic comedy "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Juan Espinosa and Irma Contreras fought until their house blew up in a homemade gasoline bomb explosion, Milenio said.

Police called to the home in the indigenous Mayan Indian town of Oxkutzcab in the southeastern state of Yucatan arrested Espinosa. Contreras was taken to hospital with third-degree burns.

A local police official confirmed the report but declined to provide further information.

In the violence-filled movie about the fictional Smiths, Pitt and Jolie play married assassins ordered to kill each other.

Espinosa told reporters he was glad his wife had suffered burns, while Contreras said she was only sorry she had not "hacked off his manhood" during the fight.

And I thought *I'd* had crazy neighbors.... ::-|

Sounds like a hell of an evening.... when there's nothing else on tv... watch your neighbors

I can count the number of times I've so much as raised my voice at my husband on the fingers of one hand. If I want to exercise my lack of anger management...I'm going to pick a stranger, thank you very much. I just don't understand people.

I'm grateful those two lunatics ended up with each other and aren't out destroying the lives of two semi-normal people. ::-|

I've got a nickel that says they "make up," too.

That's nuts!

I would like to have seen/filmed it all go down. LOL

OMG! These people are crazy..
