“She’s Nosferatu.”
“She’s Italian?”
Funny scene. Kind of an underrated gem this film.
Not as successful as YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, though. I think perhaps because that film focused mainly on spoofing the Universal films, this one spoofs everything from Universal, Hammer, Franco to Coppola. I saw this in the cinema when it came out and there were probably only 2 other audience members in attendance.
Taking place in 1918, he encounters someone very reminiscent of Vlad Tepes.
This is a very funny bit to me. Something about Brooks' delivery and accent. The punchline that comes afterwards is not as funny.
-Dr. Seward: Oh, Count Dracula, allow me to introduce Professor Abraham Van Helsing, of London University. He's a doctor of rare diseases as well as theology and philosophy.
(Van Helsing turns to face Dr. Seward)
-Van Helsing: Und gynecology!
I haven't seen that in a long time. I'd like to watch it again. I remember thinking it was not the right kind of story for Indiana Jones so it felt off to me. Maybe my opinion would be different today.
November 2018 : DHRFTG turned 50
1959 , 60 yrs ago : HoD is released world wide (although i think the first 2 were banned in Norway and DHRFTG were slightly trimmed in cinema)
Hammer Draculas , my ranking :
Prince or Scars
Horror
HRFTG
Taste (ending is kinda anti climatic imo)
AD '72 (Drac shouldve been roaming around 70s Lon , seen dead drug addicts on the streets and tried to suck their blood.....at least for a few scenes , also why did Munro not turned into a vampire ?)
Satanic
The movie takes place in New Orleans and Dracula s origin is not Vlad tepes here, but
It had two direct to video sequels, ASCENSION (2003) and LEGACY (2005). Both also directed by Lussier, who has said he has plans for a fourth installment.
Never cared for Dracula's true identity. Still, it's kind of a fun film . I also enjoyed the sequels.
Gerard Butler kind of reminds me of Brendan Hughes' Dracula in the 1989 film TO DIE FOR. That one also set in contemporary (well, 1989) times.
Abysmally stupid plot twist.
It was also a success elsewhere in later years-Broadway 2004 where Hewitt reprised his role , St Gallen 2005 starring Thomas Borckert/Drew Sarich, Graz 2007 with Thomas Borckert, Tokyo 2011 with Yoka Wao, Pforzheim 2013 with Chris Murray, Kristianstad 2014 with Johan Wikstrøm. and Seoul 2014 with Ryu Jung-Han/Kim Junsu/Park Eun-Suk.
It's not a unique angle it's a baffling one. A twist for the sake of creating one.
Dracula as "the eternal jew".
It places Dracula in space in the 30th century.
I kind of liked it as odd as it was.
I also noticed we actually seldom talk about the source material on this thread.
It isn t the first time Batman encounters Dracula. He also did so in the unofficial films BATMAN DRACULA (1964)
and BATMAN FIGHTS DRACULA (1967)
There is also the comic book BATMAN & DRACULA: RED RAIN (1991) by Doug Moench, Kelley Jones and Malcolm Jones III
Another comic book story where they meet is THE BATMAN STRIKES no 15: THE ONLY ONES, which is a tie-in to the 2005 animated movie.
And the sequel Red Rain, wherein Batman himself becomes a vampire and goes out of control:
Well you might get this with Moffat's upcoming TV series. They've already confirmed it'll take place in Victorian London.
