* WhatAnIdiot: All Dracula has to do to win is FLY AWAY from the last fight (he had plenty of chances to do that). Van Helsing will soon lose his individuality, Dracula will have a legion of his children to support him, game over.

Van Helsing will soon lose his individuality, Dracula will have a legion of his children to support him, game over. To add more insult when Van Helsing turns back to human form briefly Dracula just ''stands there talking'' until Van Helsing gets back his werewolf form and kills him.

No, he says it was stolen.


** At some point in the past, Dracula ''gave Gabriel his ring''. If that little tidbit doesn't get your mind to racing...

** Dracula is the son of Anna's ancestor, meaning they are related. How gross is the ballroom scene now?

* FoeYay: Dracula shows interest in making Anna his bride, and a lot of his dialog with Van Helsing is pretty friendly considering [[spoiler:Van Helsing is the one who originally killed him.]]
** Dracula's bride Aleera also seems [[LesYay very interested]] in Anna, calling her "my love" and making claims like "I know what lurks in your lusting heart."

Added DiffLines:

* HoYay: Between Dracula and Van Helsing. Dracula seems a hell of a lot more interested in seducing Van Helsing than killing him. Especially when he calls him by his first name and drops hints about how close they used to be. It is also made worse by the videogame and the original script (turns out, they actually toned down on the Ho Yay...)

* {{Wangst}}: Dracula's introduction boils down to "I can't feel emotions, [[TinMan so I'm going to be emotional about it!]]"
* ShoutOut: The film is basically {{Castlevania}}: The Movie. Van Helsing himself feels like a CaptainErsatz of various Belmonts (with some Cornell from Castlevania64 as he transforms into a werewolf), the Valerious line of monster hunters could very well be named Belmont, there's a boss fight with a werewolf and a more challenging one with some female vampires, there are some platform sections with falling bridges and chain swinging, the castle design is similar, and as is already mentioned in the main page, Dracula has a bat-like second form.
