Action Adventure Fantasy Thriller. Rated PG for nonstop creature action violence and frightening images, and for sensuality. Did you know Edit. Trivia Stephen Sommers deliberately chose to avoid the style of transformations from other werewolf films, where the character would usually grow hair as part of the change.
Instead the decision was made to have the character rip his skin off to reveal the werewolf form underneath, going with the idea that the beast "comes from within".

Quotes Aleera : Anna, my love. Crazy credits The Universal logo turns black and white, then catches on fire to dissolve into the traditional Angry Villager's torch. User reviews 1. Top review. Van Helsing - Homages R Us. If you're a purist-any kind of purist-stay away from Van Helsing. But if you love the Universal horror films of the 30's and 40's or the Hammer films of the 50's and 60's and don't mind re-imagining them, then go. Check your brain at the door, buy a large popcorn and a soda and sit back for a fun ride.
The film is a complete reworking of everything you think you know about all the big guys. The Order did not exist. They had to live a life of celibacy. Dracula, however, fell in love with a young woman. When the Order found out, they decided to banish the young woman from the city.
A struggle occurred and the woman was killed. Turning on the Order, Dracula recovered her body and chose to use dark magic to bring her back to life. Van Helsing was sent to stop the ritual. Though he succeeded, a fight between Dracula and Van Helsing ensued and Van Helsing was left with no choice but to kill his former comrade.
As Dracula lay dying he made a deal with the devil for eternal life. Van Helsing, wracked by guilt for what he had done, prayed to God to have the pain and suffering of what he did taken away.
To spare him the torment, God answered his prayer and removed his memories. Question : When Van Helsing was on the carriage on the way to Budapest and the horses were about to go over the broken bridge, how did the horses fly over a considerably huge gap like that and land on the other side of the bridge? Why didn't Van Helsing try to stop the horses? Answer: Because having them jump the gap looked really cool. In reality, horses are not stupid.
If they see a huge drop off like that, they will stop by themselves! When Carl tried to back out shortly after arriving he just bounced off the wall, so how did they get out later? Answer: The spell's objective was to keep Dracula prisoner; once he is dead, the spell is broken, so everyone could have left the way they came in. Question : Does anyone know what kind of an accent Dracula and most of the other characters have? I've googled Transylvanian, and it gave me quite a few countries.
Answer: Well, no one really knows what type of accent they were trying to achieve - but Dracula Vlad the Impaler was born in Transylvania in the middle ages. Transylvania, Moldavia, and Wallachia were joined together later to form Romania. Therefore, it would historically correct to say they had Romanian accents. Question : Does anyone know the correct or approximate number of Vampire offspring featured in the movie?
This includes any on screen, off screen, or any offspring that were killed during the end of the film. Answer: There's no way of knowing. Only that being with three women for four hundred years, it could be anywhere in the billions.
Especially when their seen after Dracula used the Frankenstein Monster to give them life. Question : In the credits it lists the name of the dark haired bride as Verona - it does this in the game as well - but I can't find that name spoken anywhere in the film. Where is it, if anywhere? Answer: Her name is never spoken, but the two other brides' names, Aleera and Marishka, are spoken. Question : Do the vampire birds actually give birth to the pods, like a human female would with a baby?
Answer: It'd be more like a bird laying an egg, or given the quantity, like an insect laying eggs. Question : How much time is it from 12 midnight to the twelfth stroke of midnight? Because in the movie it seemed to go over way longer than 12 seconds.
Chosen answer: Clocks vary, but it's not always 1-second per stroke. Some clocks can take up to a minute to fully strike Question : Why did Van Helsing blow that knockout dust into Anna's face? It seemed to have no connection to the plot of the movie. Answer: To prevent her from going off to find Dracula or his brides - she was refusing to wait until the next day to go with Van Helsing as he had repeatedly asked.
Continuity mistake : Towards the end of the movie, in the scene where Anna is taking the werewolf cure to Van Helsing and the vampire bride stops her on the large fallen pillar, she falls so she is in a sitting position with the cure in her left hand.
