* NonActorVehicle: [[Music/BonJovi Jon Bon Jovi]] is the leading man of the film

* RedShirtAtmy: Most of Jack's crew, who get a couple liens of dialogue, a scene fighting and maybe names before the motel massacre.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Valek is prevented from getting the cross and killed. But Montoya is bitten and on the verge of turning despite having helped in the final battle. Jack however gives him as well as Katrina, a mercy two day lead before he comes after him out of respect for their friendship (as well as a code that they have among vampire hunters) before giving him a tearful goodbye hug. Adam becomes Jack's new partner as they go hunting Valek's remaining minions.]]
* BookEnds: In the beginning of the second act, Jack messes with Padre by asking if he got sexually aroused while Jack was beating him up. Padre, natually, is humiliated by the question.

* HolidayInCambodia: The movie takes place entirely on Thailand and follows a Muay Thay fighter and his girlfriend vacationing there.

* UncertainDoom: A couple of the vampire hunters at the hotel (like Deyo) looked more like they were slapped around than actually killed.

* DisposableSexWorker: Played straight with the prostitutes at the motel whom Valek slaughters. Subverted with the one Valek actually feeds on; he doesn't finish her off and she becomes the heroes' main connection to tracking him down. She could also have been [[spoiler: TheMole, due to Valek's influence over her.]]

''John Carpenter's Vampires'' is a 1998 film by Creator/JohnCarpenter and starring Creator/JamesWoods loosely based on the novel ''Literature/{{Vampires}}''. It is about a group of vampire hunters out to prevent the original master vampire from getting the [[MacGuffin Cross of Berziers]] which will allow him to walk in the sunlight.

* ClusterFBomb: Jack would make a sailor blush with his incessant swearing.

* WouldHitAGirl: Montoya knocks Katrina out cold with a backhanded blow to the face. Grante, he was trying to keep her from hurting herself, and he was pretty that she'd just tried to drink his blood, but the scene still has a "domestic battery" feel to it.

* VampireHunter: Jack Crow leads a group of vampire hunters who are [[FantasticCatholicism on the payroll of the catholic church]]. They're pretty effective at it until they receive a visit from the [[MonsterProgenitor Master Vampire]] Jan Valek, who is far stronger than anything they have ever dealt with, so quickly wipes out everyone but Crow and his best friend.

* NoSell: Valek is immune to everything that would normally kill a vampire except sunlight.

* GoneHorriblyWrong: The first vampire Valek was a priest in medieval Prague who led a peasant revolt. When he was captured, the church thought he was possessed and performed an exorcism for him. Because he wasn't possessed however, instead of driving out a demon from him, the exorcism PUT ONE in him, turning him in the first vampire.

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Catlin.]]
