In the widescreen edition DVD When Allan Quartermain (Sean Connery) is talking with Agent Sawyer (Shane West) just before the "shooting lesson" he tells Sawyer about his last mission for the crown. Quartermain says "I even took my son ALONG" but the close caption reads; "I even took my SON-IN-LAW". Later on including the very next sentence in that same scene, Quartermain says that it was his son (not son-in-law) whom he lost on his previous mission. See more »
My father was actually the one to rent this movie. I dragged him down to the rental place and came home empty handed. I didn't look at the plot once I saw Connery was in it. He's not a bad actor, I just don't really care one way or the other about him.
Then he came in that night and tossed it into my lap. "You'll like it" he said. And I read the back. The word VAMPIRE automatically caught my attention and I was hooked from that second onward. The movie isn't the greatest, I'll admit. But it's definately engaging. You can't take it too seriously as it's based on fictional characters and takes place in an alternate universe. But it's funny, and has wonderful moments in it for the ladies who go for the hotties, or the guys who go for the action!

Hello!
My father was actually the one to rent this movie. I dragged him down to the rental place and came home empty handed. I didn't look at the plot once I saw Connery was in it. He's not a bad actor, I just don't really care one way or the other about him.
