History Film / Dracula2000

-->'''Detective''': Solina, Dr. Seward here tells me you believe yourself to be a vampire. Now how does one become a vampire, Solina?
-->'''Solina''': No, how does one become... a lover?\\
'''Detective''': Well, I-I don't know.
-->'''Solina''': [rises up in [[SelectiveGravity a non-human manner]]] One is chosen.
-->'''Detective''' [calls Dr. Seward]: [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You see that?]]
-->'''Dr. Seward''' [turns around to face Solina]: See what?
-->'''Solina''': [sighs; Sultry voice] Would you like to be chosen, Mr. Detective? Are you waiting for a woman to choose you as a lover?
-->'''Detective''' [turns to look at Dr. Seward]: You getting this on tape?
-->'''Solina''': [Yells] [[IKnowYoureWatchingMe Look at me when I'm talking to you!]]
-->'''Detective''' [unnerved]: Now, Solina, you... you can't see me.
-->'''Solina''': Of course I can. [moves closer to window] I can even see the [[RagingStiffie outline of your cock against your pants]], so don't even pretend you're not interested.

It also starred Creator/JonnyLeeMiller, Creator/JenniferEsposito, Creator/OmarEpps, Vitamin C, Creator/NathanFillion, Danny Masterson, Creator/LochlynMunro, Shane West, and Creator/JeriRyan.

Has two DirectToVideo sequels (which contradict the ending of ''2000''): ''Dracula II: Ascension'', with Stephen Billington taking over as Dracula and Jason Scott Lee, Creator/RoyScheider, and Creator/KharyPayton joining the cast alongside him, and ''Dracula III: Legacy'', where Creator/RutgerHauer played Dracula, with Lee and Schneider reprising their roles.

* WallCrawl: The Solina and Lucy do this when the brides confront Mary.

* ShownTheirWork: The ArmorPiercingQuestion described above--[[spoiler: "Did you ever ''ask?''"--is based on genuine Christian principles. Church doctrine states that no sin is too great for God to forgive, but the sinner must admit their fault and ''request'' forgiveness, which shows they are truly penitent and thus worthy of mercy.]]

* BigBad: Dracula obviously.

* DeathBySex: Literally. Lucy winds up turned when she is seduced by Dracula and they have sex which winds up going off the bed to the ceiling (due to Drac's flying powers). She's so mesmerized that she doesn't notice Drac spouting fangs until he bites her.

* MyGrandsonMyself: Dr. Abraham Van Helsing uses Dracula's blood to keep himself immortal, in order to continue research on how to kill the vampire king for good. In the modern day, he passes himself off as his grandson, "Matthew Van Helsing".

* {{Confessional}}: Mary goes to see a priest who is a old childhood friend, to confess the weird dreams she's been having about a strange man ([[spoiler:Dracula, unsurprisingly]]) and to ask about her mother's dying confession.

-->'''Detective''' [calls Dr. Seward]: You see that?

-->'''Solina''': [Yells] Look at me when I'm talking to you!

-->'''Solina''': Of course I can. [moves closer to window] I can even see the outline of your cock against your pants, so don't even pretend you're not interested.

** In the present day, Dracula attacks TV reporter Valerie Sharpe and her cameraman while they are filming the crashed plane he was on. Initially the cameraman can't see him through the camera, so when Dracula grabs Valerie and cuts at her neck a bit, all he sees is her struggling and the cut suddenly appearing, until he lowers the camera. Likewise when Valerie runs to their van, she sees her cameraman being tossed aside by an invisible force on her monitors.

-->'''Vampire Selena:''' You know why you never had me, Simon? Because you Brits like to sweettalk and you Brits like to romance...and all I want to do is suck.

* DeadlineNews: Valerie (Creator/JeriRyan), a news woman reporting on the plane crash that was originally flown by the thieves, ends up having her pre-recorded news segment interrupted by a revived Dracula who proceeds to kill her cameraman and make her into a vampire.

%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * ArmorPiercingQuestion: "Did you ever ask?" He didn't think about that.

* DeadStarWalking: Creator/ChristopherPlummer, the biggest and most seasoned name in the cast, also gets killed.

* ActorAllusion: This isn't the first film Creator/ChristopherPlummer played a vampire hunter up against Dracula, as he appeared in ''Nosferatu in Venice'', the 1988 sequel to ''Film/{{Nosferatu}}''.

* NotSoDifferent: Van Helsing has become addicted to Dracula's blood, meaning he regularly has to drain him in order to prolong his own immortality.

* DecoyProtagonist: Van Helsing is well known as Dracula's ArchEnemy and takes up the BigGood role in this movie, then he is KilledOffScreen for his Mary to see the aftermath.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: This version of Dracula is said to have not only been Vlad the Impaler but UsefulNotes/GilleDeRais. He'd have had to be in two places at once because they lived at the same time! Would also make this a case of AdaptationalVillainy.
