Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 1h) The line in the film where Jonny Lee Miller playing Simon Sheppard says, "Never, ever fuck with an antiques dealer," was a line the actor would say on set as a joke. The director liked it and incorporated it into the scene.
- GoofsVan Helsing's office building is in London, but the Security Guards on duty are armed. Security guards in the UK do not, and cannot, carry guns. Handguns are illegal in the UK and private citizens, even security guards, cannot possess handguns, much less can they carry them about. Handguns can only be carried by the armed forces and by specially trained police officers (and even then it is rare to see an armed police officer).
- Quotes
[while struggling with Marcus, Simon produces a cross]
Marcus: Sorry sport. I'm an atheist.
[a dagger pops out of the cross's base]
Simon Sheppard: God loves you anyway.
[He stabs Marcus in the eye with it]
- Crazy creditsAs the credits roll, interspersed in the words, are coloured pictures of things important to the movie's premise, including a row of teeth, a bat, and a cross. These pictures are seen both on the left and right sides.

Featured review
An interesting take on Dracula--You might get a kick out of the end when you find out Dracula's true origin.
It struck me as two movies in one. There was a very passionate vampire story going on, covered up by a high-tech monster movie (think Bram Stoker's Dracula coated with a layer of Underworld or League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).
Considering the double tone of this film, I'm not surprised to see Christopher Plummer co-starring along some very fresh-faced young actors. Any fellow Canadians will notice a few Canucks besides Plummer in this one.
Because of the inconsistent flow of the movie, some silliness, and the disappointing death of one of the main characters, I gave this film a 6/10.
