Quotes:

  • 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.
     
  • Dracula: The blood is life... and it shall be mine!
     
  • 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: We have all become God's madmen, all of us.
     
  • Dracula: Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the self. The green fairy who lives in the absinthe wants your soul. But you are safe with me.
     

Trivia:

  • Anthony Hopkins also plays Cesare, the priest who tells Dracula that Elisabeta's soul is damned; and he provides the voice-over sequence during the narrative for the Captain of the Demeter.
     
  • 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.
     
  • In an attempt to elicit more emotion, Coppola shouted "whore" and "slut" while filming the scene when Van Helsing catches Mina with Dracula.
     
  • Mina walks past an advertisement for the Lyceum Theatre and Henry Irving. Dracula author Bram Stoker managed the Lyceum, and Sir Henry Irving is rumored to be one of the primary inspirations for the character of Count Dracula.
     
  • When Mina recalls her previous life as Elisabeta she says she remembers a land beyond a great forest. "Land beyond the forest" is the literal meaning of Transylvania.
