Line 2:
* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: To this day there are negative reviews in pages like Amazon criticizing the book for not having any of the romance this movie had.
* [[Anvilicious]]: Lucy's a slut, we get it!
* [[
** Van Helsing laughing like a lunatic while humping Quincey Morris's leg.
** Van Helsing's random demonstration of [[Offscreen Teleportation]], which he shows to Dr. Steward and co. to convince them that supernatural things exist. He's talking about hypnotism at the time, but no hypnotist is capable of such a feat. Basically, the man is a wizard, but everybody forgets it for the rest of the film.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The whole soundtrack.
* [[Designated Hero
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Any scene involving [[Tom Waits]] as Renfield or [[Anthony Hopkins]] as Van Helsing is bound to be more entertaining than the rest of the movie.
* [[Romantic Plot Tumor]]: One of the biggest. How much you like the film depends in part on how you feel about the romance (and how [[Stupid Sexy Flanders|annoyingly sexy]] you find [[Even the Guys Want Him|Gary Oldman]]).
** Extra [[
* [[Strangled
* [[
** Coppola originally wanted Johnny Depp, but [[Executive Meddling|the studio wouldn't allow him.]]
*** This troper thinks Ryder´s delicate doe-eyed look actually fit well in that role.
**** Too bad nothing else about her did.
** They did, however, do a good job casting Gary Oldman, since he looks a lot like the "official" portrait of Vlad Dracul.
