Quotes:
|
-
Van Helsing: We have all become God's madmen, all of us.
-
Renfield: I am not insane! I am a sane man fighting for his soul!
-
Mina: I want to be what you are. See what you see - love what you love.
Dracula: Mina, to walk with me you must die to your breathing life and be reborn to mine.
Mina: You are my love... and my life... always...
Dracula: Then... I give you life eternal. Everlasting love. The power of the storm. And the beasts of the earth. Walk with me... to be my loving wife... forever.
-
Van Helsing: She lives beyond the grace of God. She is "vampyr", "nosferatu". These creatures do not die like the bee after a first sting, but instead grow strong once infected by another nosferatu. My friends we fight not one beast but legions living age after age after age, feeding off of the blood of the living.
-
Van Helsing: Mr. Morris, your bullets will not harm him. He must be beheaded. I suggest that you use your big Bowie knife.
Quincey P. Morris: Well, I wasn't planning on getting that close, Doc.

Trivia:
|
- Winona Ryder saw the script when it was originally going to be made as a TV movie, directed by Michael Apted. She took the script to Francis Ford Coppola, whom she had not spoken to since withdrawing from The Godfather: Part III due to exhaustion six months earlier. Coppola agreed to make the film, and Apted stayed on as executive producer.
- This film is very similar in story and shots to Nosferatu.
- Red Jelly was used for the blood.
- Among the moving-picture displays in the scene where the prince and Mina first converse is a shadow-figure show depicting the battle between Vlad's army and the Turks.
- A scene in which Mina seduces Van Helsing was filmed but cut.
