* ActorAllusion:
** Creator/KateBeckinsale's character hunts [[Film/{{Underworld}} vampires]]. This was originally what was preventing her from being cast; as she had just done ''Underworld'', Stephen Sommers feared she wouldn't want to do another vampire film. However her agent convinced him to send her the script - and she immediately signed on.
** Creator/HughJackman [[Film/X2XMenUnited plays the role]] of a grim loner with no memory of who he was, while facing an enemy who knows him and his forgotten past and taunts him for it. He also [[spoiler:turns into a [[{{Wolverine}} werewolf]].]] More superficially he also bares his claws in a very similar way to Wolverine.
** Silvia Collocca (Verona) has often been compared to fellow Italian actress Monica Bellucci. It can't be a coincidence that Collocca is playing the same character Bellucci played in ''Film/BramStokersDracula''.
** A Director Allusion for Stephen Sommers. Van Helsing was supposed to be fully nude after [[spoiler: Anna's death]] and they filmed it as such. However a CGI loincloth was digitally added in post production. Sommers had previously done something similar in ''Film/TheMummy1999'' where he used CGI to cover up Rachel Weisz's nudity during her WetSariScene.
