Added DiffLines:

* HeroicLineage: Played with but ultimately subverted. Captain Van Helsing is descended from the original Van Helsing but does not have the talent for vampire hunting his ancestor did.


Added DiffLines:

* RobotGirl: Aurora is revealed to be a RidiculouslyHumanRobot. She is human in appearance, has a complete range of emotions and doesn't seem to have any SuperStrength or SuperToughness, so is more or less indistinguishable from a regular human.

* VoodooShark: About two thirds of the way through the movie, we learn that [[spoiler: Vampires are actually ''[[OurVampiresAreDifferent aliens]]'' who come from the ''planet'' (?) Transylvania. Dracula is apparently the LastOfHisKind and seeks to come to Earth, and recognizes Captain Van Helsing as the descendant of the original Van Helsing who defeated him all those centuries ago. The problem is: this would mean Dracula came to Earth at some point (all by himself, for no apparent reason), got defeated by the original Van Helsing, then traveled ''back'' to Planet Transylvania, but now wants to go back to Earth ''again'' now that his world is dying.[[FlatWhat What?]]]]

!Tropes for the film:
* BeatItByCompulsion: Memorably subverted. They've got the counter-intuitively named Orlock chained up, covered with knotted string and surrounded by spilled rice. When he gets released he reveals that he'd already undone the knots and counted all the rice, so there's nothing to stop him from murdering them all.
* EverythingInSpaceIsAGalaxy: The movie is set in a region of space inconsistently referred to as the Carpathian System and the Carpathian Galaxy.
* PrimalStance: Coolio as TheDragon.
* {{Sexbot}}: At the end Aurora and Humvee accept their doom, Aurora reveals she used to be a sex robot so Humvee picks her up and the ship explodes in a very poor special effect.
* SmallUniverseAfterAll: Movie is set in a region of space [[SciFiWriterHavenoSenseOfDistance inconsistently referred to]] as the Carpathian System and the Carpathian Galaxy.
