* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: ''Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat'' is a BMovie through and through, but many of the actors playing the redemption-seeking vampires, particularly Creator/DavidCarradine as their leader, put on genuinely moving and nuanced performances.

* TooCoolToLive: In the climax, [[spoiler: Ramon]] and [[spoiler: Nigel]] both go down almost immediately after performing feats of coolness that were better than anything most of the main characters did in that fight. Some of Mardulak's RedShirt bodyguards, who show up as TheCavalry in a limousine, armed to the teeth, also count.

** On the flip side, Creator/BruceCampbell does the same thing in less-than-nuanced performance, playing up Van Helsing's cluelessness for all it's worth, which, when paired with Carradine's moving performance as Mardulak, only elevates the film even higher.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Did Jefferson always despise Mardulak's vision and join his group to be TheMole? Or did he start out legitimately seeking redemption before succumbing to his bloodlust and turning against the others?

Approved by the thread.

Added DiffLines:

* CompleteMonster: [[MonsterLord Ethan Jefferson]] is a psychotic vampire supremacist. Viewing Mardulak and his repentant vampires as "[[CategoryTraitor domesticated abominations]]", Jefferson hatches a plan to wipe out the entire town using special wooden bullets and an army of crooks he's converted into vampires, who he doesn't care if they live or die. In the process, he condones [[TheDragon Shane]]'s desire to rape and claim his old flame as his own. After Jefferson's attack kills much of the town and results in the deaths of many of his men, Jefferson takes one of Mardulak's friends hostage to force them to stand down, only to try and execute them all anyway. Jefferson embodies everything Mardulak seeks to get away from, and [[FullyEmbracedFiend enjoys every second of it]].

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Mort, the GrumpyOldMan and RetiredMonster played by Creator/MEmmetWalsh, is considered a highlight of the film by both its fans and its critics for his HiddenDepths and TheBigGuy feats in the climax.

* HesJustHiding:
** Some fans think [[spoiler:Dan, Mardulak's head bodyguard]], looks like he might have only been wounded in the arm in his apparent death scene.
