Trivia:
|
- 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.
- Tom Savini, who plays Sex Machine, portrayed a Motorcycle Raider in George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead.
- The band playing in the "Titty Twister" is Tito & Tarantula.
- 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.
- 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."
