I am trying to get a picture of George Clooney's tattoo in the movie. Can anyone send me copy of the tattoo? I would really appreciate it.
Hi. I took a few screen captures from the movie. They're not the greatest but here you go... http://www.sightssounds.net/tattoo1.htm
Most film articles on Wikipedia have a section that describes how the film was received, by critics and by audiences. The only thing this article has is an implication that it did well enough to have two sequels. Any info on reception? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.151.13.191 ( talk) 19:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
FDTD spawned a sequel and a prequel, not two of either. in the reception part it cited that both sequels were poorly received with only a citation to the sequel Texas Blood Money, and no reference to the prequel (The Hangman's Daughter) i have changed the sentence to read both were poorly received, but it still lacks a citation for the prequel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.27.192.243 ( talk) 18:36, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
"From Dusk till Dawn" doesn't look right. Till should have a capital T, not lower case. From Dusk Till Dawn.
No. "Till" is slang for the preposition "until." Prepositions in titles are not capitalized. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.215.121.82 ( talk) 04:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Yes! Yes! The title of this movie is "From Dusk Till Dawn". All other sites list it as such. These would include: IMDb, AllRovi, Box Office Mojo, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, etc. Also check out the image for From Dusk Till Dawn. You can see that it clearly reads as "From Dusk 'Till' Dawn" knighstalker ( talk) 11:01, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
To revisit this for a moment, it's worth noting that the articles for From Dusk Till Dawn (soundtrack), From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money and From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter all have it written as "Till." Personally, I'm not particularly partial to either way but, for the sake of uniformity, should they not all be written the same way? Either this article needs changed to a capital T or the other three to a lowercase T. NJZombie ( talk) 05:56, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
Note: Part of the spoilers are listed below.
As the gang head into "The Titty Twisters", there was a man constantly boasting the "pussies" (read: prostitutes) they have. Can anyone who has the full form of this script also put that into the "Trivia" section, please? -- Blackhawk charlie2003 12:20, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't have time at the moment to clean up the page, but someone needs to clean up that plot synospsis, cause it needs paragraphing and paraphrasing to all hell. If anyone can do that...well, fantastic.
Hey, I paragraphed the synposis I wrote but I really have no clue what paraphrasing is. Raven6247 17:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Wasn't it better before? No offense Raven, but you probably don't need to detail every scene in the movie. AaronCBurke 19:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
i've seen evil dead at least ten times, what's this about From Dusk Til Dawn having references to evil dead? -- Alex Ov Shaolin 05:12, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the disgusting plot synopsis, by basically deleting about 98% of it and adding a sentence of my own.
The plot's still bad, but at least it's a huge improvement. The old plot was literally the worst thing I've ever read on Wikipedia. It explained every scene of the film, right to the end, including quotes! Terrible.
Anywho, I've not cited any references, but neither had the person who sat and typed out everything they could see in the film as they watched it. DanTheShrew ( talk) 11:38, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I know my plot is crap, but why change it back to that abomination?
At least leave me a comment on this page to explain your actions. DanTheShrew ( talk) 11:43, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
A form message telling me that my improvement is an act of vandalism is not constructive ctiticism.
How could anyone (other than the author of the plot I'm trying to remove) not agree that a couple of sentences describing the film is better than the novel adaptation attempted on the page here. DanTheShrew ( talk) 11:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Do we have more information - why banned, why lifted ? Does that one line warrant being in the opening section ? -- Beardo ( talk) 14:48, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
I dont have time and interest in checking all of this article but here is some problems with it:
-- WikiBahal ( talk) 22:08, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Action-comedy? I've seen this film. There's very little humour in it. Tons of horrible murders, a rape, two of the -protaganists- set an innocent human on fire... Lots42 ( talk) 01:59, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Is it just me or does the rear of the Titty Twister resemble The Tower of Babel? – Lionel ( talk) 10:59, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No consensus to move at this time. This may be worth revisiting when the dust settles at the MOS discussion. Cúchullain t/ c 15:16, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
– According to MOS:CT, prepositions containing four letters or fewer should not be capitalized. This article is located at From Dusk till Dawn for that reason, and the other articles should be moved accordingly. Relisted. BDD ( talk) 09:33, 5 January 2013 (UTC) 87.79.208.25 ( talk) 05:43, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
Per WP:FILMLEAD, we go by the first public release of the film. "At minimum, the opening sentence should identify the title of the film, the year of its public release". The 1995 award happens with many things as few awards are given for films strictly from January to December. A good example would be for albums. I recently edited the article on Leftism, which was nominated for best UK album in 1995, but lost to the 1994 album Dummy. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 19:08, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on

to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{

Was going to bring this to the talk page once someone directly involved (like say User:Andrzejbanas) reverted the change instead of an admin needing to exert his/her undue authority to me, but whatever, I don't care enough about the genres anyway, with all the other POV inaccuracies in the article. Question is vampire-crime or action-horror (or something else)? WP:FILMLEAD says genres should reflect the majority of mainstream sources; I went through reviews on RT & other sources available with 'vampires' & 'crime' popping up more than the others. (I also wonder about the reliability of Box Office Mojo since it's owned by IMDB, but if it's as good as the others that's fine). Few of them are going to count as 'scholarly' anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barely made one ( talk • contribs) 07:39, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
