I found some great trivia here it is:
Dead Man Trivia
The lines "The Vision of Christ that thou dost see/Is my Vision's Greatest Enemy" that Nobody says to the Trading Post Missionary are from William Blake's "The Everlasting Gospel".
The lines "Every Night & every Morn/Some to Misery are Born/Every Morn & every Night/Some are Born to sweet delight" are from William Blake's poem "Auguries of Innocence".
The names of the two marshals that Johnny Depp kills are Lee and Marvin, an homage to Lee Marvin .
The line said by Nobody, "The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn from the Crow," is also a William Blake quote, from the proverbs of Hell in "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell".
Billy Bob Thornton's character's name is Big George Drakoulious. George Drakoulious is a musician and has produced music for the Black Crowes and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Jared Harris's character is named Benmont Tench. Benmont Tench is a member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Gary Farmer would reprise his role as Nobody in the later Jim Jarmusch film _Ghost Dog: Way of the Samuri (1999)_ .
The character 'Thel' is also taken from a William Blake poem called "The Book of Thel"
The lines "Some are born to sweet delight and some born to the endless night" are also lyric of a song entitled "End of the Night" by The Doors.
