Goofs
When on the beach preparing for a duel, Abra ejects all the bullets from Tybalt's magazine except one. Romeo uses that same gun, in a new location, to kill Tybalt, shooting him 6-7 times. However, Tybalt carries two guns. The one Romeo uses is the second gun, which at this point was not unloaded.

Quotes
Romeo: [upon first sight of Juliet] Did my heart love 'til now? Forswear its sight. For I never saw true beauty 'til this night.

Crazy credits
The film opens and closes with the Chorus, appearing as an anchorwoman on a TV screen, narrating the prologue and the closing lines.
