Sounds like Dracula II to Me

No this isn't the same as part 2. Part 2 rewound part 1 a little bit, and picked up from there and ran with it. Part 3 picks up at the end of part 2 and finishes off the story.

Oh, yes. It was the one thing that made the movie bearable to me.


It's a pity "Dracula: Ascension" started out with a plot hole (since 2000 ended with him back in his coffin at Carfax Abbey, behind, to put it mildly, lock and seal.) The movie had somewhat of a new (though hardly entirely) approach, and I will enjoy seeing Hauer as Dracula. He has a habit of making mediocre or even bad movies enjoyable. Just look at his wonderful portrayal of the edgy, angst-driven Harley Stone in "Split Second", which besides the acting and the scenography has rather little to offer besides clichés.

Yea this one picks up at the end of II. I was disappointed with Ascension though. I loved Dracula 2000, it was one of my favorite movies ever, but the second did leave lot to be desired and defnitely needed a lot of explanations that it didn't have. I have hard time believing that Mary and Simon left Dracula hanging there until the cops came and took away his body. They would both know better than to let that happen. And if that is true, then there is no way anyone would have gotten him out of there. Finally, if I recall correctly, didn't Mary say he was simply ashes but she still feared there might be a way for him to come back and that is why she placed him back in the safe at Carfax? You can't do an autopsy on ashes....

Okay I know I am ranting here, but I don't think sequels and whatnot should be made if they can't properly explain things. I hope this 3rd one is at least bearable. The 2nd one was bearable and had some interesting point, but it was pretty much a big disappointment. Can't wait to see Rutger Hauer as Dracula, he is an amazing actor. Did anyone else see is performance in The 10th Kingdom? It wasn't a big part or his best work, but he still did a pretty good job with what he had to work with.

Or maybe Luke and Father Uffizi take Dracula's remains back to Carfax after they take him out.

I watched Dracula II: Ascension with the commentary track and it explains most if not all of the holes. Mary and Simon aren't all powerful vampire hunters, Simon took mary out of the sun because he didn't know that Dracula had realeased her from being a vampire. Uffizi got there before Mary and Simon and didn't tell them about the body being switched because the two aren't aware of each other, Mary and Simon know nothing of Uffizi and vice versa. Its not that hard to believe. Finally, they did plan on making all three films, but Dracula 2000 was supposed to be the story from Dracula II where the students get dracula and take him to the pool. All that happens after they steal dracula in ascension was to be the second film and Legacy is exactly the same as planned.

Okay, Dracula II was the guy with the blonde hair. But in the credits it says there's a Dracula III played by Rutger Hauer who plays Dracula in Legacy. So where did the guy with the blonde hair go, or did I miss something?

reply

It's not Mary and Simon. It's Luke and Elizabeth!

Mary and Simon have nothing to do with II or III.
