These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Bram Stokers Dracula
Adaptation Displacement: To this day there are negative reviews in pages like Amazon criticizing the book for not having any of the romance this movie had.
Anvilicious: Lucy's a slut, we get it! Two parodies had fun with this, starting with the Parody Names they gave her — MAD Magazine went with "Loosely", and Cracked went with "Slutty".
Big Lipped Alligator Moment: In the scene in which Dracula is approaching London, with a storm marking his arrival, Lucy and Mina run around outside and even kiss.. and then forget about it happening right away.
Van Helsing laughing like a lunatic while humping Quincey Morris's leg.
Van Helsing's random demonstration of Offscreen Teleportation, which he shows to Dr. Steward and co. to convince them that supernatural things exist. He's talking about hypnotism at the time, but no hypnotist is capable of such a feat. Basically, the man is a wizard, but everybody forgets it for the rest of the film.
Ensemble Darkhorse: Any scene involving Tom Waits as Renfield or Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing is bound to be more entertaining than the rest of the movie for viewers who don't buy it.
Visual Effects of Awesome: Despite its 1992 release date. No CGI was used for the effects. It's all the more impressive for it.
What The Hell, Casting Agency?: Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves as turn-of-the-century Londoners? In Ryder's case, she was the one who brought the script to Coppola's attention to begin with, so it was probably hard not to hire her (and at least her delicate doe-eyed look works). Reeves...there's no excuse for. Coppola originally wanted Johnny Depp, but the studio wouldn't allow him.
They did, however, do a good job casting Gary Oldman, since he looks a lot like the "official" portrait of Vlad Dracula.
