      Priest: ...ask yourself if that corpse of a slut is worth dying for.

      Marv: Worth dying for.

      [shoots priest]

      Marv: Worth killing for.

    • Crazy credits
      In the opening credits, each of the actor's names is shown with a frame from the comic, featuring their character.
    • Alternate versions
      December 2005 DVD reissue included an extended, reedited version of the film. The four story lines were separated into individual short films, with about seven minutes of additional footage added, marketed as approximately 25, but about thirteen of those minutes are credits added to each story and five come from marketing exaggeration.

    Sin City is Sinsational!

    Just watched the Advance Screening last night and I must say that this movie pulls all the punches in violence. It deserves its hard R rating in the first five minutes and doesn't let up until the end credits roll. It has it all - bullets, boobs and be-headings - beautifully set in a grim atmosphere that really keeps you on the edge of your seat. All cast performances were excellent - especially Mickey Rourke's "Marv" character. Fans of the comic will not be disappointed in this film adaption. This movie is definitely not for the squeamish or faint-of-heart.

    Sin City grabs you by the nuts and doesn't let go! A must see!
