Did this film directly parody any of the Hammer films with Christopher Lee?
It's been several years since I've seen this film, but I remember enough about it to confirm that it obviously parodied several different movie adaptations of the original novel by Bram Stoker. I recall that the main two versions spoofed here were the original 1931 classic with Bela Lugosi (such as the Renfield character for example) and the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola film (like Dracula's shadow and his initial hair style that's revealed to be a wig).
But were there any scenes or moments that referenced any of the Hammer films in which Christopher Lee played the count? There aren't any that I can remember, at least not ones that don't already apply to something from one of the other various adaptations. Obviously there are several elements from the original story that were present in most movie versions. Some are also seen in this parody as well as the Hammer movies, but any direct spoofs of the Lee portrayal?
You would think there would be. And if you go to the connections page on IMDb, it lists Horror of Dracula (the first Hammer film featuring the character) as one of the films being spoofed. But I don't remember any times that film is explicitly parodied here. Could it possibly be the overly bloody staking of Lucy or the abundant cleavage seen throughout the film? Sure, Dracula dies by sunlight in both films, but that's also happened in several other adaptions as well.
Anyone have any more info?
