Mina is a babe



[Ghoopty]

At :34, Lee looks like Earl from "My Name Is Earl"

[harsishava]

This is amusing, especially when Herbert Lom isn't talking to Christopher Lee, he's talking to a script girl!

[VideoMask93]

@harsishava Rather common in film.

[woollybully100]

herbert lom, never thought of that but ya great choice 4 a van helsing.

If only Hammer gave Lee a script & money to do Dracula as in the novel, mind you I've never liked Bram's Moe'n' spock ears as described, it was the trend back then when Bram wrote it that men of noble, rank or even kings & Counts wore beards or moes, I think Drac' looks more evil & dramatic without it, whats he going to do,twirl the ends of his starch' as he ties Mina to the train racks!

This movie started off faithfully, but it got pretty lame by the end. I heard the producers ran out of money and had to wrap up on a shoestring.

Thanks for posting these clips! Franco's version is the only film of Stoker's classic that I don't own... and it looks like one of the best!

Dracula with a tash! no,no

[Vortigern99]

@kennyclayton1 Yes, "with a tash!" -- just as Stoker described him! (He mentioned a pointed beard, too, but we'll let that go....)

[kennyclayton1]

@Vortigern99 Already no that,just saying Chris lee does`nt look right.

Would love to see the film,but don`t no where to get it.

[Vortigern99]

@kennyclayton1 Yet in this film Lee looks more like the character described and created by Bram Stoker than in any other film version. To my eye, Sir Christopher looks exactly right.

[TenderTrap86]

The music for this film was pretty good, considering it was such an inexpensive production.

[kriitikko]

@TenderTrap86 Oh definetley, composed by Bruno Nicolai who had conducted some of Ennio Morricone's most famous scores, like the ones in "For a Few Dollars More" and "The Great Silence". :)

This scene is very classical, classical in vampiric sense. It's good to see Van Helsing and Dracula confronted like this. Lee is great. He does a great job on the "careless monster" aspect of Dracula, IMO. I loved it how VH scratched the fire cross on the floor, very nice.

Awesome! Lom doens't quite reach Cushing's level of badassery but hey, who does? Thank you so much for uploading these clips! I just might order this off of amazon when I'm not strapped for cash.

[kriitikko]

Yeah, nobody can reach Cushing, he's just completely own level. Lom though does great job and is, and looks, far closer to Van Helsing of Stoker's book.
