[edit] Plot
Set in Mexico in the early 1900s which begins with the escape of Johnny Madrid, a dangerous local outlaw, from the gallows who then kidnaps his hangman's beautiful daughter, Esmeralda, played by Ara Celi in the role originated by Salma Hayek, with a little help from Reece, a female outlaw from the U.S. With the hangman and a local posse on their trail, Johnny meets with his gang who all rob a stagecoach which contains American author Ambrose Bierce, along with newlywed couple John and Mary Newlie. As night falls, all parties coincidently seek shelter in an isolated inn/whorehouse which is run by vampires led by the high priestess Quixtla who targets Esmeralda. Esmeralda is revealed to be the half-human, half-vampire princess Santanico Pandemonium, whom the vampires want as their heir, and with whom all the humans must join forces if they are to survive the night from the vicious blood-suckers.

[edit] Trivia
Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones. |
- The reveal of Esmeralda being Santanico Pandemonium was not in the original script, but came about at the suggestion of test audiences.
- When the camera pans back in the last scene, the inn is revealed to have been built on top of an Aztec pyramid, presumably the same one as the bar in the first film.
- A running theme in the "Dusk Till Dawn" films is that only two human protagonists survive in the end. In this film it was Johnny Madrid and Ambrose Bierce.
