In the first draft, Eve was 2000 years old and the druid of a matriarchal Celtic tribe. Adam was 5-600 years old. Jarmusch decided that Adam and Eve would be aware of each others true age so he argued they have no reason to state it in the film.

The word "vampire" is never used throughout the film.

Goofs
Dr. Watson makes a comment about the stethoscope around Adam's neck. The ear pieces are hanging on Adam's left side. In the shot in the hallway, the stethoscope is now hanging with the ear pieces on his right side.

When Marlowe dies, on the close-up shot of Eve as she raises her head from crying, Marlowe is quite obviously breathing.

When Adam and Eve, in Tangiers, get up to turn "the lovers," Eve leaves the flask and her left-hand glove on the bench. The next cut is a two-shot with Eve wearing the left-hand glove, but not the right. This is either a continuity error or it is an ironic gesture that the entire film to this point has been shot in reverse image as they are vampires without a reflection.

Q
Why were silver bullets changed in this film to wooden bullets?
A
Silver bullets are a rather new addition to the vampire myth and the film is not least about nostalgia. The old myths knew staking, beheading, and holy water to be the methods to kill a vampire. Wilhelm Murnau invented, for his film Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922), the additional method of killing a vampire by exposing it to sunlight. (In Bram Stoker's Dracula, the vampire was merely "weakened" by daylight.) Nosferatu is the beginning of the vampire as far as films go, so this method was adopted by Jarmusch. Apart from that, he refrains from picking up newer additions to the myth and rather invented the wooden bullet as a reference to the old method of staking a vampire.
