Goofs

When the vampire female taxi driver is thawed out of the deep freeze, she is only wearing some type of short gown, which is orange and wraps around her torso under her armpits. When she runs down the hall to attack Sam moments later, she is wearing a short white robe with a belt tied around her waist. It is highly unlikely that she would have changed her wardrobe.

In the film's opening fight scene, some candles are knocked out of a candelabra on the table only to return to being in it in the next scene.

When Mamuwalde is fighting Dracula's men, he grabs a torch to fend them off. One man removes a huge sword from the wall to counter him; however, in the following scenes of Mamuwalde thrusting the torch forward to keep the swordsman at bay, the exact same sword is still mounted on the wall behind him.

When Dr. Gordon Thomas and Lt. Jack Peters arrive at the hospital where they confront the vampire female taxi driver, it is the dead of night with no hint of sunrise. When Gordon opens the blinds, it is obviously still night with only an orange streetlight coming in through the window, yet the woman screams and "dies" and Gordon then says that the sunlight killed her. Sunlight would have been much brighter that that.

During The Hues Corporation's musical number in the nightclub, several scenes jump back and forth between the dancers and the singers, albeit with both in the same spot on the set. The backup band, however, remains present in the same position.

Just after Dr. Gordon Thomas and Lt, Jack Peters are attacked by Juanita as a vampire and she is killed by sunlight, Gordon states: "Vampires multiply geometrically. First night there's one; second night, two; third night, four. " This makes no sense. What the scriptwriter should have written is "Vampires multiply *exponentially*."

There is a wall mounted sign in the morgue stating Maintain 30 Degree Temp in Refrigerator. Anything below 32 degrees would require a freezer.

Incorrectly labeled as a goof - When Tina unchains the door for Michelle after previously unbolting it to see who was knocking, she does NOT unbolt the door a second time, as claimed in a previous post, but merely reflexively lowers her hand (which is still holding the knife) to it before reaching for the doorknob and opening the door.

When Mamuwalde first arrives at Tina's apartment, he steps in the door and asks to be invited in. As a vampire, he should not be able to even walk through the door without a verbal invitation.

Incorrectly labeled as a goof - Vampires are fictional and the lore differs from story to story at the whim of the screenwriters; therefore, there is no reason to question why Mamuwalde could not enter the room uninvited.

Mamuwalde could never have survived locked in a coffin for less than 200 years without blood, as vampires can live for only a short time without a fresh supply of blood, after which time they will slowly age and die.

Incorrectly labeled as a goof - Vampires are fictional and the lore differs from story to story at the whim of the screenwriters; therefore, there is no reason to question why Mamuwalde could not have survived for that amount of time.

When one of Dracula's men grabs a vase and throws it at Mamuwalde's head, it clearly misses him, yet he is knocked out and has a bloody wound on his forehead.

When the policeman is slammed into the wall of the alley by Mamuwalde, if one looks closely, dirt can be seen on the back of the policeman's jacket beforehand, indicating a previous take.

Part of the film's plot hinges on the fact that Mamuwalde's image does not show up in a photograph and its negative, but he and the other vampires in it cast obvious shadows.

Several times during this film, the vampires' fangs are misaligned (one fang under their noses and the other way to the side and away from under their noses).

When Dr. Gordon Thomas and Lt. Jack Peters go to the warehouse and are fighting the vampires, they pull oil lamps out of a box and begin throwing them at the vampires like Molotov cocktails. When the lamps break, they burst into flames like Molotov cocktails. None of the lamps are lit when they are thrown, however, so when they break, they should not have burst into flames.

When Tina gets home after first running into Mamuwalde, she first puts the chain lock in place, then turns the bolt lock. Minutes later, Michelle knocks on her door and is able to open it so that the viewers can see her, with only the chain holding the door. Tina closes the door, undoes the chain and unnecessarily unlocks the bolt to let Michelle in.

The film was set in Los Angeles, CA, but a map of Staten Island (which is a borough of New York, NY) is hanging on the wall in the police station during a close-up shot of Gordon meeting with the police.

Mamuwalde was entombed in his coffin in 1780 and was not freed from it until 1972. Yet when a photographer takes his picture, he knows that he cannot be photographed and that he will not appear in the photograph. As photography was only invented in the 1840s after Mamuwalde was entombed, he would have been ignorant of photography and, therefore, ignorant of the fact that he could not be photographed and that he would not appear in a photograph.

It is never made clear in the film why, if Dracula's secret room was found less than 200 years later when his castle was being renovated, the coffin contained inside it was never removed or at least opened.

Since Bobby McCoy and Billy Shaffer had Mamuwalde's body shipped back to the United States from Transylvania, Romania, it would have been discovered by customs inspectors when the coffin would have had to have been opened in order to be checked for contraband.

Mamuwalde has only just been released from a less-than-200-year-long imprisonment in a coffin, yet when Nancy takes his picture at the night club, he knows what a camera is.
