* A drive-by hilarious quote--after Carl tests the nitroglycerin, you can hear one of the priests in the background indignantly shouting: "What in the name of Allah is '''''wrong''''' with you?!"

* When Carl is outfitting Van Helsing with his gear and new inventions, Van Helsing takes a moment to admire some swords on a rack, which Carl scoffs at:
-->'''Carl:''' Oh, any idiot can make a sword!\\
'''Blacksmith:''' [''Whips around with a glowing hot blade from the forge, sporting a DeathGlare''] Hey!\\
'''Carl:''' [''Instantly timid''] Oh! Sorry, Father.

* Aleera taunts Anna one time too many and gets a stake right through the heart. A stake which Anna was only able to catch because Aleera taunted her too long.

* A bit that comes across as funny mainly because of the MoodWhiplash after a tragic scene; Anna, in the wake of her brother's death and learning [[spoiler: Van Helsing has been bitten by Velkan while still a werewolf]] backs away...and [[FailedASpotCheck completely misses that she's standing next to an]] ''[[FailedASpotCheck extremely]]'' [[FailedASpotCheck pissed-off Aleera]], and when Anna finally realises she's not alone, she's barely turned round before the vampire knocks her out cold.

* The Cardinal reads Van Helsing the riot act for shattering the Rose Window in Notre Dame Cathedral.
--> '''Van Helsing:''' Not to split heresy, but it was Mr Hyde who did the shattering.
** Let it be said the window only shattered because Mr Hyde was ''thrown into it''.

* From the gag reel:

* Another example from the GagReel. Hugh Jackman mentions how he'd "never trip" and then it cuts to numerous instances of him tripping and falling.

* When Dracula reveals that ''everyone'' in attendance at the masquerade ball in his summer residence - the musicians, the dancers, the performers- are all vampires and sets them after the heroes, Van Helsing quickly makes a break for it...while Anna grabs a nearby mace from a suit of armour (with the gauntlet still attached) and starts swinging it, clearly raring for a fight, prompting Van Helsing to double back and effectively drag her out of the ballroom.
** And then seconds later, they find Carl, who's delighted he's figured out a use for his sunlight bomb, only to be then horrified when he discovers their escape plan:
-->'''Carl''': ''[holding up the device]'' Ah, now I know what it's for! Now I know what it's for! ''([[DelayedReaction Carl realises Anna and Van Helsing are running straight at him]])'' Where are we going?
-->'''Van Helsing & Anna''': ''(simultaneously)'' Through that window! ''(Carl turns around and [[OhCrap sees the window]] as Anna and Van Helsing grab him by the arms and jump through it)''

* Shortly after Velkan attacks the heroes, Van Helsing tracks him to the local cemetery where the local undertaker is digging a new grave because "you never know when you might need a fresh one," and then he tries to wallop Van Helsing with his shovel. When Van Helsing blocks him, he quickly apologizes in a not-too-convincing way, then is immediately killed as Van Helsing ducks out of the way of Velkan leaping at him from behind. The undertaker rolls ''perfectly'' [[Irony into one of the graves he just dug]], his shovel sticks into the ground, and his hat lands on the shovel. That's ''just'' the kind of corniness that makes this movie great!
