Quotes:

  • Seth Gecko: Well, your best better get a hell of a lot fucking better, or you are gonna feel a hell of a lot fucking worse.
     
  • Richie Gecko: The Ranger's taking a piss. Why don't I just go there, blow his head off and get outta here.
    Pete Bottoms: Don't do that! Look, you asked me to act natural, and I'm acting as natural - in fact, under the circumstances, I think I ought get a fuckin' Academy Award for how natural I'm acting.
     
  • Pete Bottoms: Look, he comes in here everyday. We bullshit, and he's used my bathroom about a thousand times. If I said no this time he'd know somethin' was up.
    Seth Gecko: Okay, I want him out of here, in his car, and down the road or you can change the name of this place to Benny's World of Blood.
     
  • Seth Gecko: All right, vampire killers... let's kill some fucking vampires.
     
  • Jacob Fuller: I'll be a lap dog of Satan.
     

Trivia:

  • Tom Savini, who plays Sex Machine, portrayed a Motorcycle Raider in George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead.
     
  • 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.
     
  • Salma Hayek plays a stripper from hell. Later in Dogma she plays a stripper from heaven.
     
  • When Jacob Fuller is walking through the bar with the shotgun cross, he is reciting the Ezekiel speech from Pulp Fiction.
     
  • 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.
