| 1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: This movie had a pretty damn funky soundtrack courtesy of composer Gene Page that mixed creepy horror motifs with R&B and funk. |
| 2 | * CompleteMonster: Count {{Dracula}}, from the first film, [[SmallRoleBigImpact despite his brief appearance]], manages to stand out as a cruel, wicked monster [[GreaterScopeVillain responsible for the events of the duology]]. A [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil slave trader]] who views [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain slavery as glorious]], Dracula, upon hearing that African Prince Mamuwalde wants to end Africa's slave trade, uses his dozen brainwashed wives to seize Mamuwalde and turn him into a vampire, rechristening him as "Blacula". Locking him away in a coffin to suffer for centuries, Dracula coldly locks Blacula's wife Luva with her husband to starve to death. |
| 3 | * MagnificentBastard: The noble Prince Mamuwalde is turned into a vampire by the evil Count {{Dracula}}. Later returning in modern day, Mamuwalde kills numerous people to slake his lust for blood and easily eludes and confounds his attempted vampire hunting pursuers. Finding a woman who resembles his lost love, Tina, Mamuwalde wins her over with his charisma and charm, until her death results in his somber suicide. Returned from the dead, Mamuwalde turns the tables on a man who believes he might control him and attempts to rid himself of his vampire curse by winning over priestess Lisa Fortier. |
| 4 | * {{Narm}}: Anytime there's a TitleDrop in both films. It's especially jarring to hear ''Dracula himself'' come up with it. |
| 5 | * NarmCharm: The title and premise seem to be from a pitch-perfect cheesy Blaxploitation parody, but the films do take the premise seriously and are actually pretty effective as horror flicks ([[FirstInstallmentWins the first one moreso than the sequel]]). |
| 6 | * OlderThanTheyThink: Kids these days are more likely to be familiar with the Blacula-inspired character in ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' than with this movie. |
| 7 | * ValuesDissonance: Many of the comments regarding the two CampGay characters in the beginning are definitely a product of a less enlightened era. The fact that the cops dismiss their deaths because they are gay is downright offensive to modern viewers. |
| 8 | * ValuesResonance: The homophobia expressed by characters is another part of the movie's stance on prejudice being wrong, though. |
