Trivia

 * The quote "Kill 'em all and let god sort 'em out" is also heard from some robots in Bethesda's game Fallout 3.
 * If one has captions turned on when riding the elevators of No Mercy, there is an interesting error between the soundfile that plays and the caption text. When Francis says "Which one of you Jackasses just Beefed?", the caption displays the unused quote "The Greatest mystery of the Vampire outbreak is which one of you Jackasses just Beefed." However, this line is still used in non-English languages instead of the shorter one.
