Sex Machine: So what's your name, darlin'?
Kate Fuller: Kate. What's yours?
Sex Machine: Sex Machine, pleased to meet you.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Seth Gecko: I may be a bastard, but I'm not a fucking bastard.
-
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.

Trivia:
|
- The gun that Sex Machine wields is one of the weapons found in El Mariachi's guitar case in Desperado, also directed by Robert Rodriguez. Chongo beer (also from the earlier film) is available at the bar.
- References to previous movies that Quentin Tarantino has been involved with (Pulp Fiction, True Romance, and Reservoir Dogs):
- Kahuna Burgers (in the hotel room)
- Red Apple cigarettes (on the dashboard of the Gecko's Cougar)
- Seth's line to Harvey Keitel : "Okay ramblers, let's get rambling."
- When Jacob Fuller is walking through the bar with the shotgun cross, he is reciting the Ezekiel speech from Pulp Fiction.
- 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 line "I've got six little friends and they can all run faster than you can" is a reference to That Darn Cat!, in which Frank Gorshin utters the same dialogue to a kidnapping victim.
