From Dusk till Dawn I

    Peachy, Kate. The world's my oyster, except for the fact that I just rammed a

            wooden stake in my brother's heart because he turned into a vampire,

                        even though I don't believe in vampires

The movie opens with the fugitive Gecko brothers Seth and Richie fleeing the F.B.I. and Texas police after Richie had broken Seth out of prison in a bloody shootout. Seth Gecko is a cold, tough anti-hero, while his younger brother Richie is a delusional, homicidal serial rapist.

The film begins in a liquour store where Seth and Richie hold two girls hostage while attempting to get the clerk, to get rid of Texas Ranger Earl McGraw, who has entered the store. Just as McGraw is about to leave, he is shot in the head by Richie, thinking that Pete had mouthed "help us." This leads to an argument between the two brothers, and Richie shoots Pete in the shoulder. Enraged, Pete manages to pull out a gun he had hidden in a safe. Though he manages to shoot Richie in the hand, Pete fails to reload quickly enough, and is set on fire by the two brothers (during which the hostages escape). As the two siblings argue and depart, the liquour store quickly catches fire and explodes behind the two, who don't bother to notice. It is revealed during the brothers' argument that Richie was merely supposed to buy a road map from the store.

The Geckos arrive at a motel, along with Gloria Hill, a hostage they had in the trunk of their car. Seth warns Hill not to talk or try to escape. Seth then leaves to get food and to check out Mexico's border, while Richie watches a news report about him and his brother.

The film then cuts to the Fuller family: Jacob, the father and a former pastor who has experienced a crisis of faith, and his two children Scott and Kate . The Fullers are on a vacation in their RV. Meanwhile, Seth returns with food for the three of them and discovers that Richie has raped and killed Hill. Seeing Hill's nude and battered body lying on the hotel bed, Seth becomes enraged, only to calm down and promise his brother that they will get to Mexico the following day.

The Fullers arrive at the same motel, only to be kidnapped by the Geckos, who force the Fullers to smuggle the brothers past the Mexican Border. Richie's eyes begin to roam on Kate which makes Seth and Jacob uncomfortable. But both men make an uneasy truce if it means Jacob and his family will come out of the ordeal unharmed and the Geckos can make it past the border. They manage to fool the border agent and arrive at the "Titty Twister", a bar in the middle of a desolate wasteland, where the Geckos have agreed to be picked up by Carlos, their contact, at dawn.....that should be the end and everyone lives happily ever after.....

At the "Titty Twister", the Geckos run into a few conflicts. First they encounter Chet Pussy, an obnoxious bouncer whom Seth and Richie pummel to gain entrance. Then Razor Charlie, the owner and main bartender, refuses to serve them, stating that he only serves bikers and truck drivers. Though Jacob manages to prove that he is a truck driver, stating that a truck license is required to drive an RV, Seth nevertheless gets angry.

Exotic dancer Santanico Pandemonium, the main attraction at the bar, appears. After her show is over, Chet the bouncer, having recovered from his beating, enters the bar with Razor Charlie and Big Emilio at his side. Once they attack the Geckos and stabbing Richie in his wounded hand, he and Seth shoot all three to death. Upon seeing Richie's blood soaked hand, Santanico morphs into a vampire like creature, jumps on Richie's back and sinks her fangs into his neck, killing him. It soon becomes evident that everyone who works at the bar are vampires.

In the ensuing chaos, nearly every biker and trucker in the bar is killed in a bloodbath. Only, Seth, Jacob, Kate, and Scott survive, along with a biker named Sex Machine who has a gun holstered to his crotch, and Frost, a Vietnam War veteran who likes cigars. They manage to kill all of the vampires in the room but their problems are not yet over. A host of vampires attempt to enter the bar, which is then barricaded. Also, the slain clients - including Richie - are starting to rise again as vampires and must be destroyed. During the struggle, one of the vampires bites Sex Machine in the arm, who tries to cover up his wound. Sex Machine begins to develop vampire traits and bites Frost on the neck. He also manages to bite Jacob in the arm and throws him against a wall, before being thrown through a door by Frost, causing all of the vampires to enter. In the process, Frost also turns into a vampire instantly. Seth, Kate, and Scott quickly escape to a back room.

Meanwhile, Jacob manages to combine a baseball bat and a shotgun in the form of a cross and escapes into the back room where Seth, Scott, and Kate are hiding. They fashion weapons from items found in the storeroom (including carving crosses on the remaining bullets in Seth's gun), and prepare to fight the vampires. Jacob makes his children swear that they will kill him when he inevitably changes into a vampire. The four then make their assault on the undead....can they survive????
