Trivia:
The famous line, "No thanks, I've already had a wife," was improvised by George Clooney. Director Robert Rodriguez never intended it to be in the final cut, but after the studio included the line in a trailer, he felt obliged to include it in the film.

Goofs:
Continuity: Kate's crossbow starts with three arrows on each side and one in the middle. She fires numerous arrows at the vampires, yet her supply of arrows never seems to go down. For the most part, this is due to the fact that it is a pump-action crossbow (as is shown when she first cocks it after picking it up) that brings a new bolt into position when the string is cocked back with the pump. While this explains why she doesn't have to sit around and reload the thing after every shot, the six bolts attached to the bow of the weapon do disappear suddenly, and apparently without being loaded into the bolt cartridge.

Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk till Dawn combines vicious violence, Cheech Marin vampires, and some funny humor from the cast into one big collective film. More than a basic horror movie, it has Rodriquez as a fine director and Quentin Tarantino as a good screenwriter who bring to the screen basic shoot em up fun. Not all of it is for the people out there, but for thrill seeking teens, it's worth a glance.
The story involves 2 criminal brothers (George Clooney and Tarantino) who are part focused and part insane. They kidnap a family (Harvey Keitel, Ernest Liu and Juliette Lewis) and bring them to a bar called the T**y twister while waiting for morning and their money prize. But what ensues in that bar is terrific fun in which all the members are vampires and are relentless "from dusk till dawn". Great fun, terrific violence (if not disgusting) and cool quotes bring this film to a fine T. Look for Tom Savini as Sex Machine, Salma Hayek as a stripper and Cheech Marin who plays 3 characters. A+
