- TriviaNicolas Cage playing Peter Loew ate a real cockroach for this film - it reportedly took three takes. He once said about the experience, "Every muscle in my body didn't want to do it, but I did it anyway."
- GoofsDuring both sex scenes with Rachel and Peter in Peter's bed, the flesh colored pad covering Jennifer Beals' nipple is clearly visible.
- Quotes
Peter Loew: Shouldn't the copy be in that file? It should, right?
Dr. Glaser: Yes.
Peter Loew: Right? Hmmm. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Dr. Glaser: Unless, of course, it's somehow been somehow misfiled.
Peter Loew: MIS-filed?
Dr. Glaser: Yes, misfiled. Sometimes somebody puts a document in the wrong file and then it's misfiled. It makes it much harder to find.
Peter Loew: Who? Who? What do you mean, who? How could somebody MIS-file something? What could be easier? It's all alphabetical. You just PUT it IN the RIGHT FILE! According to ALPHABETICAL ORDER! You know - A, B, C, D, E, F, G!
Dr. Glaser: Peter...
Peter Loew: H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P!
Dr. Glaser: Peter...
Peter Loew: Q, R, S, T, U, V!
Dr. Glaser: Oh, Peter...
Peter Loew: W, X, Y, Z! HUH? THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO DO!
Dr. Glaser: Very good, you know your alphabet.
Peter Loew: I NEVER MISFILED ANYTHING! NOT ONCE, NOT ONE TIME! I wanna know, really, WHO DID?
Dr. Glaser: I cannot possibly tell you that.
Peter Loew: You can't?
Dr. Glaser: No, I can't.
Peter Loew: Hah! And you call yourself a psychiatrist?

Okay, looking back from 2015, Nicolas Cage has had one of the most unusual careers in Hollywood. We know he can be a great actor, because we have seen "Adaptation", "Leaving Las Vegas" and others where he just stunned audiences with his portrayals. But we also know he has a habit of picking duds, and at this point he probably has more stinkers than winners.
And then there is "Vampire's Kiss", which is a bizarre blend of horror and comedy. It is never quite horror and never quite comedy, sort of existed in this world of nothing... and that just makes it more interesting. That weird accent (somewhere between rich guy and surfer dude). Wow.
