    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Stephen Sommers deliberately chose to avoid the style of transformations from other werewolf films, where the character would usually grow hair as part of the change. Instead the decision was made to have the character rip his skin off to reveal the werewolf form underneath, going with the idea that the beast "comes from within".
    • Goofs
      In the opening scene in Paris, when Van Helsing picks up the wanted poster,the Eiffel tower is seen in the background only half built, however, when on the roof of the Cathedral, while Hyde is holding Van Helsing up, the tower can be seen fully built behind them.
    • Quotes

      Van Helsing: There's something down here, it's carnivorous. Whatever it is it appears to be... human. I'd say it's a size 17, about 360 pounds, 8 and a half to 9 feet tall and he has a bad gimp in his right leg and, ah, 3 copper teeth.

      Anna Valerious: How do you know he has copper teeth?

      Van Helsing: 'Cause he's standing right behind you.

      [shouts]

      Van Helsing: Move!

    • Crazy credits
      The Universal logo turns black and white, then catches on fire, fading into a torch carried by an angry villager.

    Fun and enjoyable fantasy adventure
    Despite the inconsistent CG, some weak performances and some dumb decisions Van Helsing is still a fun and enjoyable fantasy adventure. Hugh Jackman gives a great lead performance and Kate Beckinsale, Richard Roxburgh and David Wenham are all really good. It's well paced and well filmed and Stephen Sommer's direction is good, if a little too reliant on CG. The music by Alan Silversti is great.

    • What's a Dwerge supposed to be? I've looked around but haven't been able to find an answer. I know they're loyal to Dracula but that's it.
