Per wiki policy, Spoilers Off applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

  • Anytime Vlad uses his powers and goes into One-Man Army mode, ultimately annihilating Sultan Mehmed's forces in an epic Mook Horror Show.
    • To make it even more awesome, when Vlad leads the charge, the storm clouds that herald his arrival take on the shape of a dragon, with the thunder and lightning adding to the overall effect.
  • Dracula uses bats like an army in this movie. Hundreds of thousands of bats are used like a literal force of nature. It's even more awesome than it sounds.
  • Vlad utilizing his Janissary training to good use against Hamza Bey and the Ottoman envoy. In a short span of time, Vlad cuts off both of Hamza's arms before landing a killing blow, and proceeds to kill the remaining envoy members with swords that he steals from them, and impales the last standing envoy through his throat right as he falls to his knees.
  • It takes a lot of balls to do what Vlad did, when it came to approaching the Master Vampire for help. "What sort of man crawls into his own grave, in search of hope?"
    • Bear in mind, also, that he climbed Broken Tooth Mountain in heavy armor and his cloak, which would complicate things at those heights. It takes a special kind of strength and agility to pull that off.
  • Vlad's first display of power against the Ottomans, bullrushing into the middle of a charging army and beating the crap out of a large chunk of them with just his fists, before he gets a hold of some swords and a spear.
    • One random soldier elevates himself to Badass Bystander by being the only one, to be fast and strong enough to react to Vlad's sword swings. Vlad gets his own by breaking his sword into two pieces and stabbing the soldier with it.
  • Upon losing Marina, Vlad finds dying survivors of his army and refugees and offers them revenge, giving them his blood. When Vlad marches from the cloud, we get sounds of shrieks as the swarms of bats fall from the skies like meteors, convalescing into the vampirized warriors, who proceed to tear into the Turks.
    • Ingeras's governess gets one, doing an Unflinching Walk turning into a cloud of bats to dodge a sword blow, then instantly reconstituting with a huge Slasher Smile, striking with her claws and feeding.
    • Cazan, Vlad's advisor, gets an epic Pre-Mortem One-Liner to one of Mehmet's generals when he hides in his tent from the vampires in terror, with Cazan appearing from the dark to grab him.
    "I used to think there were too many of you...now there's not enough..."
    • After spending most of the movie being pretty much untouchable, as well as being the one directly responsible for Mirena's death, Elite Mook Blue Eyes prepares to face off against Vlad...and Vlad dodges both of his strikes and stabs the assassins own blade into his shoulder, pinning him to a post and leaving him at the mercy of a vampirized boy Blue Eyes had strongarmed earlier, leading to his Karmic Death.
  • Mehmet's responses to Vlad are also pretty awesome - first, he prevents his forces from thinking about the stories of Vlad by making them march blindfolded, leading them, making them focus on following him. Then, he leaves a big shiny decoy in the centre of his army for Vlad to focus on, leaving his wife and child unattended. And finally, when Vlad hunts him down in his tent, he has Ingeras as a hostage and covers the floor in silver coins, while a wielding silver sword, periodically slashing bags full of more silver coins to weaken Vlad. If it wasn't for Vlad's sheer determination, he would have won. (Albeit probably for only about five minutes, before all the other vampires ate him and Ingeras). Evil the guy may have been, but he was smart.
  • Vlad killing his now vampirized chief advisor Cazan when he threatens Ingeras. By impaling him on a spear, capped off with an awesome Pre-Mortem One-Liner:
    Vlad: You forget who I am. *impale*
  • Brother Lucian gets one at the end, walking into the midst of the vampire army with little more than a cross and trying to save Ingeras.
