* PlotHole: The film cuts from Talbot filthy and ragged from his last werewolf transformation to him dressed in a beautiful suit in order to meet Baroness Elsa. It's not shown where the money came from for his transformation, nor how he obtains an American-style suit in Central Europe.



* WhatHappenedtotheMouse: Maleva is found-- and recognized as Talbot's companion-- in the woods as the hunt is on for the killer of the girl. She is arrested, but we never learn what her fate is. Nor that of her wagon and horse, either.
