The story behind Dusk 'Til Dawn is that Tarrantino needed special effects/makeup effects done for Resevoir Dogs. The effects guys did it for an absurdly low amount, like $1000 and a script for a Vampire Movie. This is the script they got. Well, technically, once Tarrantino found out they had such a quality cast (quality in this case being subjective, I suppose, to you Clooney hatersout there. I personally love the fact that Fred Williams and Tom Savini were in it) he revised the script.

They then got Robert Rodriguez to direct this nuthouse film. I think one of the things I enjoyed most about it is the sudden, lurching plot change. Its like 2 different movies. Its a Tarrantino-esque gangster flick. The WHOLE movie is peppered with some of Tarrantino's most enjoyable dialogue ever. Then, they hit mexico (with the first of 3 Cheech Marin roles) and suddenly it becomes a Robert Rodriguez action horror movie. Great fun. Its deliberatley bad, deliberately tongue in cheek. Its like a present to genre fans. As much as say, Kill Bill is to grindhouse cinema fans.

I will leave you with my favorite quotes:

Seth: I may be a bastard, but I'm not a fucking bastard.

Chet Pussy: Pussy, pussy, pussy! All pussy must go. At the Titty Twister we're slashing pussy in half! This is a pussy blow out! Make us an offer on our vast selection of pussy! We got white pussy, black pussy, Spanish pussy, yellow pussy, hot pussy, cold pussy, wet pussy, tight pussy, big pussy, bloody pussy, fat pussy, hairy pussy, smelly pussy, velvet pussy, silk pussy, Naugahyde pussy, snappin' pussy, horse pussy, dog pussy, chicken pussy, fake pussy! If we don't have it, you don't want it! Attention pussy shoppers! Take advantage of our penny pussy sale! If you buy one piece of pussy at the regular price, you get another piece of pussy of equal or lesser value for only a penny! Try and beat pussy for a penny! If you can find cheaper pussy anywhere, fuck it!

Carlos : What, were they psychos, or...?
Seth : Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a fuck how crazy they are.

and of course:

Seth : So what are you, Jacob? A faithless preacher? Or a mean motherfuckin' servant of God?
Jacob : I'm a mean m... m... servant of God.
