    I love the fact that Gabriel was toying with Dracula in the first round of the fight, even showing his claws to scare him, but then the transformation turns off and he runs from the vampire. And then when he get his powers back, he attacks Dracula with everything to finish him quickly, bcuz now he knows that he don't have time to waste and he was lucky that Vlad likes to talk a lot, bcuz if dracula was serious, it would have all ended for him in that instant without powers.

    • @koreancowboy42

      That's because Gabriel wasn't even in control. Once he's a werewolf he losses all emotion of human thoughts.
      Also Dracula have been trying to get Gabriel to drop down his guard. Again Dracula has many chances to kill Gabriel however what if he can turn Gabriel into his servant? The biggest achievement would be that

      It probably shows that even the one thing that has a chance of killing Dracula might not be enough to kill him. He is extremely strong and has centuries of experience, which shows during the first few seconds of their fight. If he used everything he had with the sole intention of killing him, he could have won. However, this is probably the first time for hundreds of years where he is reminded that he is not immortal, and this is an opponent who has the power to kill him if he loses. He is a coward, he is used to fighting opponents without any chance of losing. Plus he is not taking anything in the world seriously, there is no other explanation that he could not finish off the Valerius family.

      Not as per the original Lore
      As per the Lore you cannot kill a Vampire like Dracula or even normal Vampire without proper measures. Werewolves also don’t operate like in movies- they only turn when there is a full moon. They don’t get any abilities otherwise outside of that window. Hence it is called a curse.
      Vampires are undead and can never be killed. They can only be put to an eternal sleep or a dormant state.

    Okay, the most awesome realization that the only thing Count Dracula is afraid of that can kill him is a Werewolf, and how this straight up came into fruition with Van Helsing becoming that Werewolf was pretty badass, these guys straight up re-imagined the monsters and it was just beautiful especially how brutal a werewolf can be...

    The music, the choirs, makes this fight so much more epic!
    Also, I like how they portrayed Dracula as actually being fearful for his life while still trying to maintain some semblance of class when he's so clearly panicking inside. Besides switching between running away and fighting back, he keeps trying to bargain for peace. Which is _so_ neat! Rarely do you find the villains actually being afraid of the hero, and being the first one wanting for a non-violent confrontation.

    I do love the implication of the story between Gabriel and Dracula.
    Dracula greets him like an old friend/enemy.
    They knew each other, and Gabriel killed Vlad, possibly on divine orders, which allowed him to become Dracula.
    But Gabriel has been carrying around Vlad's ring all this time. Their connection was important to him.
    Shame we never got a sequel to explore it further, but I almost prefer that we don't get the full story. Just the idea is fascinating.

    In what movie do we have a werewolf with such a big body? Not to mention the upright ear design and the well-made nose. In other movies, werewolves often look like an overly hairy wolf that can stand up, or in older movies it looks like a normal human with a little extra fur. I don't know, the werewolf design in this movie looks very clean and modern.

      Believe or not, but some people who have encountered Dogmen (aka Real Non-Human Werewolves) say that some of the creatures they seen looked just like if not similar to the Van Hellsing Werewolf. Also the werewolves from Dog Soldiers, Bad Moon, & The Howling are also similar to some Dogman descriptions. So it makes you wonder if the people who designed those unique werewolf looks, got them from studying the detail accounts of Dogman sightings.
