History Film / TheLastWitchHunter

* {{Shapeshifter}}: Belial can take on shapes of different people, including [[spoiler:Chloe and Elizabeth]], to fool Kaulder and get the advantage of surprise.

* OurWitchesAreDifferent: WitchSpecies-type that can breed with humans:

* WitchSpecies: Witches are said to be a separate species older than mankind. They can breed with humans, and witchcraft is something that's in the blood.

Unknowingly, mankind shares Earth with witches, descendants of an [[WitchSpecies ancient race]] gifted with powerful magic. Eight hundred years ago, one of them, the Witch Queen, decided to end this coexistence and exterminate mankind via a deadly disease -- {{the Black Death}}. While witch hunter Kaulder (Diesel) defeated her and stopped her from spreading her plague across humanity, before her death the Queen cursed Kaulder with immortality, forcing him to never find peace from the death of his wife and child.

* BaldOfAwesome: In the present day, badass witch hunter Kaulder is bald. Averted in the past, when he wears something akin to a short mohawk.

* BigBad: The Witch Queen.
* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler:The 37th Dolan.]]

* BadassBeard:
** Flashback!Kaulder sports one reminiscent of that worn by [[http://vikings.wikia.com/wiki/Ragnar Ragnar]] from ''Series/{{Vikings}}''.
** Belial, who can keep up with Kaulder most of the time, sports a giant Viking beard.

* KickTheDog: Belial killing Miranda. With his power level, he could take what he wanted and leave, he had no use in hiding his identity anymore, and she was nowhere near powerful enough to pose any sort of threat for him. He murders her just to [[WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied taunt Kaulder about it on the phone]].
** Bit of FridgeBrilliance here: Miranda could have grown more herbs to brew another memory potion for Kaulder, revealing a DarkSecret highly detrimental to Belial's plans.

* MonsterSlayerRomance: Subverted. There were plans to have Chloe fall in love with Kaulder, the eponymous Witch Hunter, but this was rejected because the age gap between them[[note]]About 20 years between the actors, and ''800 years'' between their characters[[/note]] was seen as too large and Kaulder still being haunted by the [[TheLostLenore death of his wife]] made it seem inappropriate.

* SuperStrength: Witches have strength that often belies their physique. In their first fight, the Witch Queen holds Kaulder at bay in a BladeLock with one hand while he's using two. One of Belial's kicks sends Kaulder flying across the room, and later [[spoiler: Chloe does the same to try to snap Kaulder out of Danique's LotusEaterMachine. She then manages to throw Ellic, a grown man, off of her during her battle with him in his psyche. It must be noted in her case, however, that both instances happen in the minds of Kaulder and Ellic, where [[DreamWalker Chloe]] has a distinct advantage. It remains to be seen whether she can manage such feats in the real world.

* ActionGirl: Chloe, who proves to be much more than Kaulder thinks of her.

** Glaeser's bug, used to control the Prison Sentry, later returns to [[spoiler:activate the Sentry and then destroy it.]]

Unknowingly, mankind shares Earth with witches, descendants of an [[WitchSpecies ancient race]] gifted with powerful magic. Eight hundred years ago, one of them, the Witch Queen, decided to end this coexistence and exterminate mankind via a deadly disease - the Black Death. While witch hunter Kaulder (Diesel) defeated her and stopped her from spreading her plague across humanity, before her death the Queen cursed Kaulder with immortality, forcing him to never find peace from the death of his wife and child.

* MrExposition: Kaulder sometimes works like this to both Chloe and 37th Dolan.

* PetTheDog: Surprisingly, Kaulder's quite willing to do this. Consider the below exchange between him and Bronwyn, the teenage witch from whom he confiscates the weather runes [[spoiler: after she nearly inadvertently brings down a passenger plane with them]].

** BrokenMascarade? It's hard to cover up completely whole story with TheSwarm and Plague Tree growing in minutes in center of New-York, plus it might give ideas to someone else.

** The YourMindMakesItReal aspect of memory potions, complete with the position Kaulder takes when it starts to take effect, are pretty reminescent of the ''Franchise/{{Matrix}}''.

* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: Used briefly in Danique's fashion house, when Chloe looks into the mirrors only to see that all "supermodels" are in fact old crones using youth charms.

** Dolans seem to have no name besides "[number]th Dolan".
** The queen of witches is simply the Witch Queen.

* TheAce: Even as a mere mortal, Kaulder was a cut above his fellows in the Order, who got [[RedShirt slaughtered like sheep]] when they faced the Witch Queen in the past. In the present he's an unstoppable force with centuries of experience and CompleteImmortality to back it up. Witches pretty much don't have a prayer against him in a straight fight; unfortunately, [[CombatPragmatist dirty tricks]] are the specialty of any evil Witch worth their salt.
