The Keep: Difference between revisions

* [[Enemy of My Enemy]]: Molasar convinces Prof. Cuza they [[Those Wacky Nazis|have a common enemy]]. That, or Cuza just assumes it and Molasar plays along to gain his trust. {{spoiler|In either case he's lying outright and is [[Complete Monster|worse than the Nazis]].}}

* [[Executive Meddling]]: The studio supposedly ordered quite a bit of scenes cut and re-edited, resulting in the film being a confusing mishmash of nonsense. The ending in particular was changed at least ''twice'' (the first time was due to Wally Veevers dying during production). The reshot ending had {{spoiler|Glaeken surviving his battle with Molasar and being found alive by Eva... but for some unfathomable reason this was deleted and the film's third ending has the hero presumed dead}}.

** Emmit from ''[[Silverado]]'' as Glaeken.

** [[Lord of the Rings|Gandalf]] as Prof. Cuza.

* [[Our Angels Are Different]]: What Glaeken can seem like if one has only watched the film.

* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Debatable in the novel that {{spoiler|Molasar/Rasalom isn't even a vampire}}. In the film however {{spoiler|he can be argued to be a vampire, albeit one that sucks life directly rather than blood. Also in both versions, crosses don't work on him (see [[Crowning Moment of Funny]])}}.

* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: {{spoiler|In the novel, Molasar's surname is actually "Rasalom" backwards. Again, no word on whether this also applies to his given first name, Radu, in which case his ''really'' real name would be "Udar Rasalom."}}

* [[Spared By the Adaptation]]: {{spoiler|It's heavily implied Cuza dies in the novel, but the movie lets him survive, albeit returned to his aged, decrepit state. Similarly, in the novel Glaeken kills the two Romanian border guards but in the movie he just intimidates them into getting out of his way.}}

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: [[Red Shirt|Lutz]]. {{spoiler|After being expressly forbidden by Captain Woermann from futzing with the crosses in the keep, he and another soldier attempt to pry one loose from the wall the ''minute'' they're alone, with predictable results.}}
