Other parts horrible enough to comment on

Obviously, the "ending" of the movie was one of the worst parts, but I also wanted to point out these things:

- Dracula was probably the least scariest Dracula I've ever seen in a movie. The cover of the movie (the Dracula face with the black eyes) made me think that they'd do an ok job making Dracula look scary. I guess looking like an 8th grade history teacher with a Halloween cape and pink lipgloss is scary in the year 3000.

- Were pink contact lenses the best they could do for the vampires? I like my movie vampires to have cool eyes but not obvious lens crafters-like (Underworld did a good job).

- Why did Dracula instruct Coolio to "kill them all," if he wanted everyone's blood for himself?

I should just stop questioning movies like this in general.

That's probably for the best dude.

Obviously the scriptwriter was smoking the same thing Coolio was in this movie. The plot was the most whacked thing I've seen in a very long time. Why oh why did I ever spend time and bandwidth getting this, and actually spending time watching it afterwards. Oh,well. Life isn't perfect.

And what was the deal with those headsets? Seems everybody had 'em but nobody knew how to use 'em.

Boy, that ending stunk up the place! But on the other side of that equation I guess that the original Captain had set the self-destruct or something. If they'd have gotten to see the whole vidlog, they might have known that was going to happen. Or maybe it was a "This tape will self-destruct in 5 seconds" kind of moment.

Oh well.

Maybe he meant in a campy sort of way. How many people down through the years have gotten the idea that wearing a tux and cape was somehow intrinsic to being a vampire just because of Bela Lugosi? It's like they thought you would develop a widow's peak and Central European accent just beause someone bit you on the neck. But Roodt should have known better instead of playing on this lame device. And if it was a satire, it missed because it was so broad and stupid. But what the hell, at least we got a few minutes of Casper Van Dien in a muscle shirt. He was about the only one whose lines weren't so embarrassing you'd have to be three sheets to the wind to say them, as well.

Dracula's voice, i couldnt understand a damned word he said.

[–] groucho3710 19 years ago

In some movies they don't bother to dub the dialogue and you get it the way it sounds around the fangs. Must be hard to articulate without biting yourself in the lip.

After reading on IMDB that Dracula's name was Orlok in this I was kind of expecting him to look some what like Max Shreck or Klaus Kinski...but no he had to be the "suave vampire".

Wasn't Dracula from the Planet Transilvania or something? That was pretty bad.

This starting post made me laugh so hard!

Of the 15 minutes I saw of this farce of a movie the one glimpse I did see of the winged villain was Dracula running down the hallway in what looked like a Halloween costume - I was thinking - where is he going, why is he running, why does he look so unbelievably goofy?
