THE ENDING (SPOILERS) never laughed so hard.

OMG, that ending, that you see all the coffins (that are amazingly restored after the explosions and crowbar actions), and hummvee gets to get laid with the beautifully designed PB3.8 upgraded to narcotics 4.0.

and then suddenly you see udo kier: I have to blow up the ship (WHAT DIDN'T WORK WHEN HE STARTED SELF DESTRUCT)

and then, the ship just blows... HOW VERY FCKN SAD :P

I laughed my ass off, seeing hummvee *beep* aurora and just before the action, BOOM, they just didn't had any more moral to finnish the movie, so just use the most cliché but good ending: A BIG EXPLOSION.

I thought that was the only good part of the movie, and the tight clothing of aurora ofcourse.

Just saw the tail end.

With a little more sex, it could have made a good porno movie. Leaving Aurora tied up on the couch, cutting off her clothing with a knife, and searching everywhere for bite marks would have been a good start :-)

I'd like to add a couple of points that make this perhaps the most hilariously bad endings i've ever seen in my life.

the two mortals manage to shut the door so hard (using one hand each for some reason) on the IMMORTAL dracula that it breaks his arm off.

humvee then gives horrendous one liner "i told you once and i'll tell you again, put up the do not disturb sign"...he never said it the first time!

the last we see of count orlock (wtf...why is it called dracula 3000 if they don't use dracula in the movie?) is him whimpering pathetically and maybe even crying over his broken off arm. how intimidating.

aurora mentions that she is a pleasure bot and offers humvee sex...humvee, who is supposed to be the toughest character, proceeds to cry like a sissy girl.

then there is the grand finale...my friends and i had to rewind it several times because we were in disbelief...my stomach and throaght still hurt from laughing.

[–] dekkerenator 19 years ago

me too, it was soooo bad, sooo hilarious, it should get a prize for most hilarious ending.

count orlock is called dracula once in the movie, orlock was his real name, although, that was totally different I believe.

dracula in space, at least give dracula some kickass outfit, and not those 1800 cape and suit.
and we should see aurora's boobs, she never had any problems with that in previous movies. when you make a B-horror ripoff sequal, at least put some sex in it. and never cast a cast like that, it's, it's, too big :p

and can someone pleeease tell whats up with this line: van Helsing to Humwee"He's not after me. He wants you!" or something like that. What? This movie is so meaningless I have no words!

And the ending.. It's like they didn't have time to finish the script, so they just decided to blow up the ship for a quick and easy ending.

This movie has plot holes bigger than the grand canyon and one of if not THE worst enfings in cinematic history.

Trying to make sense of any of this dribble is a complete waste of time

[–] spectrumdt 19 years ago

I agree: When they introduce the whole "pleasure bot" concept, the very least thing they could do is show a little sex. (As was said earlier, the scene with the girl tied up on the couch could be expanded also.)

I agree completely the first time I saw it I honestly couldn't believe that ending it was possibly the worst ending of all time. (not that the rest of the film was any better) how can you have a horrible cop out ending like that, it almost seemed like they were filming and then all of a sudden ran out of money or lost track of the time left in the film and then suddenly realized oh Sh!+ we only have twenty seconds left for the ending.

[–] tammynina 18 years ago

This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen! I thought it was stupid that 'dracula' had told that robot everything about him, why in the hell would someone do that? Then one of the other many stupid things was that he came from planet transylvania! Couldn't they have made something more creative? Like way back when they rocketed him into space for some reason? The ending was the worst, firstly Van Helsing dies then they run from 'dracula' and he ends up getting his arm cut off then the ship gets blown up. Ugh it was just so ridiculiously stupid that it was kind of funny.

"Count Orlok" is a reference to the 1922 film [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0013442/]Nosferatu[/url], which was essentially an adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, but all the names were changed, apparently in an ineffectual attempt to avoid paying royalties to Stoker's estate. "Count Dracula" became "Graf Orlok". Unfortunately however, the director of Dracula 3000 didn't bother to make the connection between Dracula and Orlok, making the whole thing incredibly confusing for those who don't get the reference.

And yeah... terrible movie. Should be awarded the Ed Wood Memorial Prize for Spectacular Ineptitude In Film-Making. The only good thing about it was that it managed not to stick to the formula of the usual bog-standard Dracula clones, whereby Mina and Van Helsing would be the last survivors. Unfortunately, this is nowhere near enough to compensate for the rest of the movie.

I did kind of like the bit with Humvee and Aurora at the end though. Probably the only sensible thing anybody has ever done in a vampire movie.

I'm in stitches just thinking about this horrid movie. I remember the ending very clearly, because my brother burst out laughing just before the ship exploded (he had seen it before) and after the shock of realizing that the movie was finally over, I started laughing and cheering. By far the most enjoyable part of the movie was the ending. Never before had I been happier to learn that the movie was over.

[–] JudeXx 18 years ago

totally! They seemed to get lazy with the script as the movie went on. The only misleading thing about the movie was the opening credits cause they weren't too bad. I don't know if they meant this to be scary? I just dont know. It just seems like a kid in 7th grade wrote this and needed to tie up everything with horrible stuff.

Then when the vampire was like "your the most beautiful creature I've ever seen.." I was thinking ... "what the hell ... he mustn't get out much. She's like 50... " or looks like it.

I rented a whole bunch of horror flicks one night, and renting this without even knowing what it was about was the BIGGEST MISTAKE IN MY *beep* LIFE! I was going to watch a few of the movies I rented and I just had to watch that one first for whatever stupid reason. I wound up going to bed right after watching this because it turned my brain to cottage cheese. Which is probably the reason why I kept on watching this peice of *beep* And then the ending took me by surprise and I just sat there like, "WHAT??? That's it???" Seriously, I should have turned off the god damn TV after I saw Casper Van Dein's name in the opening credits. I WANT MY TWO HOURS BACK!

i just watched this movie thinking well the covers awful and the script looks slightly b worthy, the titles abysmal but there may be some redeeming feature.... there really isnt!!!! Strongbow were giving it as a prize for a halloween promotion! HOLY CRAP, if i won this from drinking strongbow, i'd give up drinking!! It is a shameful piece of sh*t filmed on minidv by the looks of the quality. you were right Scifi- 14 my head turned to cottage cheese after watchin this too! No budget, no script, no special effects, a god awful lighting diretor; everything was lit as though it was daylight on the neighbours set, a student DP and above all very amateur direction! The cast are not that bad on paper, give them the right material and direction and they might have created something less like week old vomit, at least the main cast had been in successful features before. I guess the production team were hoping that some of their experience would cover up the gaping flaws in the project, hopefully they learnt a lesson or too on the ingrediants of a good film, or in this case a god awful one.

[–] azazel_fallenangel 18 years ago

I got the Strongbow promotion thing, don't like strongbow, but workewd in a pub at the time, so nicked it and hellraiser. In hindsight, wasn't even worth stealing. So crap. i fast forwarded it most of the time, hoping that aurora woman (who turns out to be an ex-hooker robot, WTF!?!) would get her kit off. It just looked like that kind of film. Severly disappointed and feeling ripped off, despite not paying for the film(I pity those that did pay for this).

[–] bvoge 18 years ago

I found this ending absolutely awesome. It was like the director
was giving the finger to everyone that had invested the last 1.5 hours
in this film.

hmmm... we are out of money, no script.....let's just have the spaceship
blow up! That's a wrap, roll credits!

[–] deanjt 18 years ago
