Quotes:

  • Sex Machine: So what's your name, darlin'?
    Kate Fuller: Kate. What's yours?
    Sex Machine: Sex Machine, pleased to meet you.
     
  • Seth Gecko: All right, vampire killers... let's kill some f**king vampires.
     
  • Seth Gecko: I know that I have put you through hell, and I know that I have been one rough pecker. But from here on, you are all in my cool book.
     
  • Earl McGraw: Well, it's been one long goddamn hot miserable s**t-ass f**kin' day every inch of the way.
     
  • Jacob Fuller: I'll be a lap dog of Satan.
     

Trivia:

  • References to previous movies that Quentin Tarantino has been involved with (Pulp Fiction, True Romance, and Reservoir Dogs):
    1. Kahuna Burgers (in the hotel room)
    2. Red Apple cigarettes (on the dashboard of the Gecko's Cougar)
    3. Seth's line to Harvey Keitel : "Okay ramblers, let's get rambling."
       

     
  • This is one of three movies directed by Robert Rodriguez that feature the tattooed tough guy, Danny Trejo. He was also in Desperado and Spy Kids. In all three movies, his character had a "knife" name: Navajas in Desperado (Navajas is Spanish for "knives", which his character used as throwing weapons), Razor Charlie in From Dusk til Dawn, and Isador "Machete" Cortez in Spy Kids.
     
  • The dialogue between Kate and Seth while awaiting the final vampire attack ("use 'em on the first couple of these parasites that try to bite you") is virtually word for word from Assault on Precinct 13.
     
  • The introduction Razor Charlie gives Santanico Pandemonium ("The mistress of the macabre, the epitome of evil, the most sinister woman to crawl on the face of the Earth.") is taken directly from the intro used for 1970s Los Angeles TV Horror Host "Seymour", played by the late Larry Vincent (and predecessor to "Elvira" (Cassandra Peterson)).
     
  • The name of the street that Jakob Fuller has to drive down to get to the Titty Twister is called Deguayo. That is also the name of the "cut throat song" played by the villians to John Wayne in Rio Bravo.
