[edit] Plot
While watching the news on cable, Buck (Robert Patrick) discovers that his old "butt buddy," Luther Hecks (Duane Whitaker), has escaped from prison, and Texas ranger Otis Lawson (Bo Hopkins) is hunting for him. Shortly after Otis pays Buck a visit, Buck gets a phone call from Luther. He wants Buck to put together the old gang and meet him at the El Coyote Motel in Mexico because of some big deal he has devised. Buck promptly sets to rounding up the guys - C.W. Niles (Muse Watson), Jesus (Raymond Cruz), and Ray Bob (Brett Harrelson) - and they are on their way.
Also on his way in his car, Luther hits and kills a big bat. When the car will not start, Luther hoofs it over to the nearby Titty Twister bar (open dusk till dawn) where he is offered a ride to the El Coyote by bartender Razor Eddie (Danny Trejo). However, when Eddie finds out about the bat that Luther hit, he turns back. The bat is actually his friend Victor (Joe Virzi). Victor and Eddie eventually subdue Luther and turn him into a vampire.
Meanwhile, at the El Coyote, Buck, Roy Bob, C.W., and Jesus are watching pornographic movies. Luther eventually makes it to the El Coyote where he attacks Jesus's lady-of-the-evening and makes her a vampire. She then turns Jesus into a vampire. The five of them head off to rob the Banco Bravos bank. Once inside the bank, Luther and Jesus bite the guard and start working on the other boys. First to go is C.W., followed by Ray Bob, leaving only Buck human. When Otis and a huge SWAT team surround the bank, the blood bath really starts. Buck escapes and joins forces with Otis. Together they manage to kill the vampires as well as the newly undead SWAT team.
