Added DiffLines:

* MenOfSherwood: The local peasants constantly put up a valiant fight against vampiric raiders but lack the skill to be anything more than additional victims. During the climax, they're being backed up by Professor Van Helsing and a group of martial arts trained siblings and prove much more effective, helping to kill one of the eponymous vampiric overlords.

Added DiffLines:

* BackToBackBadasses: Hsi's twin brothers stick close to each other in battle, holding hands so that each can tell where the other is and so that they can stay back to back or side by side while killing opponents with the swords in their free hands.
* BadassBystander:
** Vanessa's two attendants valiantly deploy knives and martial arts skills when a large group of Tong thugs attack her, although [[RedShirt neither of them lasts for more than thirty seconds.]]
** When the vampires raid the village for HumanSacrifice victims, many men of the village fight back with gardening tools (most of them in a crowd, and one who attacks a vampire single-handedly) or try to pull back women the vampires are dragging away. They don't accomplish much besides adding to the vampires' body count and demonstrating that the locals haven't yet given up.
** Several villagers who survive the raid join Van Helsing and his allies in fighting off a second attack, again at great costs, and they kill one of the golden vampires.


Added DiffLines:

* FightsLikeANormal: Leyland lacks the martial arts skills and monster-hunting expertise of his companions (save Vanessa), but can still fight with a gun and packs a mean punch.


Added DiffLines:

* HeroSecretService: Hsi and his siblings follow Van Helsing and his son to protect them from vampires and thugs even before they officially ally to fight Dracula.
* HeroesFightBareHanded: Hsi fights assassins and vampires bare-handed rather than relying on weapons like his siblings, but is just as dangerous as they are.


Added DiffLines:

* ShipperOnDeck: Vanessa encourages the attraction between Leyland and Mai Kwei despite her own earlier chemistry with Leyland.


Added DiffLines:

* TakingYouWithMe: One of Hsi's brothers and one of the golden vampires get into a wrestling match and drag each other into a burning trench.


Added DiffLines:

* TrueBlueFemininity: ActionGirl Mai Kwei wears a blue outfit and is very refined in a SilkHidingSteel way.
