Trivia:
|
- The exchange involving Kate's line, "What's in Mexico?" and Richie's response "Mexicans" is from The Wild Bunch.
- 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."
- 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.
- Salma Hayek plays a stripper from hell. Later in Dogma she plays a stripper from heaven.
- 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.
