Trivia

The scene where Wray and Cherry burst out on the motorcycle and Cherry fires the gun was filmed first and then redone with CGI.

Share this

The main character's name is El Wray. In Robert Rodriguez's earlier movie, From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), Seth Gecko is trying to get to a place called El Ray.

When Tammy is changing her car radio station, the DJ is heard to dedicate the upcoming song to the "departed Jungle Julia."

Goofs

At the last gun fight scene in the movie, Cherry fires more than 3 grenade rounds without having to reload. In fact, the M203 grenade launchers only have a 1 grenade capacity

Share this

In the hospital scene where Wray is searching for Cherry, he finds her by seeing her right boot next to her hospital bed. The infected tore off and took her right leg along the roadside, the leather boot was still on it.

Share this

When Tammy's Volvo breaks down, she parks it just in front of the sign that says 'Military base'. In further shots, the car is quite far from it.

Q

Does the missing reel appear on the "Extended and Unrated" DVD?

A

The reel was never filmed in the first place and does not exist. Rodriguez stated that he didn't even want to know what would happen in that reel. In interviews about the film(s), Tarantino & Rodriguez said that missing reels were fairly common in grindhouse theatres of the 1970s, that somehow the reel was either lost or was never shipped in the first place. It's a nostalgic touch by the two.

Q

What song does Cherry dance to during the opening credits?

A

"Grindhouse (Main Titles)" by Robert Rodriguez.
