* QuestionableCasting:
** Creator/DavidBoreanaz is not playing the title role ''because''...?
** Creator/TaraReid doesn't really come off as the most convincing Satanist. In fairness, though, she was apparently a [[TheOtherMarty very late replacement]] for Alexa Havins, who was originally cast in the role.

Added DiffLines:

*CompleteMonster: [[HollywoodSatanism El Niño]] is a Satanist mob boss who is the benefactor to Luc Crash's gang. Aiding them in committing all the murders they want over the southwest, El Niño is sought to complete the ritual to manifest Satan in Luc. Not even caring about the ritual, El Niño fully intends Luc to die for it, only to be delighted when it actually works. El Niño is then revealed as a serial {{sex slave}}r and pimp who once forcibly prostituted out Luc's girlfriend Lola, a fact he enjoys rubbing in Lola's face at every opportunity.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The source novel is generally pretty well-regarded. Unfortunately, the film alters its storyline so much that it ends up barely recognizable, and just not very good.

** Jimmy takes Lily's body back to her trading post, thereby implicating himself in her murder, only to steal it back later to bury it.
** The Crow mythos in this film is a Raven Aztec legend. Lola immediately recognizes the revived Jimmy as "the Crow, like in the legend." This means she ''knew'' the legend and ''still'' saw fit to kill two lovers for the ritual.

** Pretty much everything involving El Nino, as played by Creator/DennisHopper.
*** He refers to Lola as "shorty."
*** During the satanic wedding:

*** As gunshots hit the church:
---->'''El Nino:''' This is some serious shit!
*** His [[AdmiringTheAbomination awe]] over {{Satan}} possessing Luc.
---->'''El Nino:''' Is it really you? Original gangsta? Well, wicked-ass props to you, Mister OG! And thanks for representing all the homeboys.
** Luc: "Hurry up, make me the fucking Antichrist!"
*** Followed by:
---->'''El Nino:''' Uh, do we all take him, or vice versa?\\
'''Luc and Lola:''' I do!\\
'''El Nino:''' I now pronounce you devil and his shorty! ''[to Luc]'' Well, kiss the bride, motherfucker. Kiss the bride.
** Creator/DavidBoreanaz REALLY [[ChewingTheScenery cranks up the]] [[EvilIsHammy ham]] once Luc gets indwelt by Satan.
*** His first words: "Honey, I'm home!"
*** Him singing "Cara Mia" as he advances on Jimmy.
*** As he and Lola depart:
---->'''Luc/Satan:''' Sorry, folks. I'd slice all your throats, but I gotta get to the burial grounds. [Lola]'s itching for a climax.
*** The petulant way he delivers this line:
---->'''Luc/Satan:''' So ''{{God}}'' gave trash like you wings, heh! He never gave me shit! Fucker! Always just took it all away.

* WhatTheHellCastingAgency: A lot of people said this about Edward Furlong being cast as the Crow, and Dennis Hopper's casting (and role in general) is pretty bizarre, but the use of Latinos as Native Americans--even if they're poorly (and briefly) [[HandWave Hand Waved]] as Aztecs--is borderline offensive
