Dracula (1992) is a lavish and horrifying tale about the dreaded Count and his unholy minions. Mina and Lucy are the hapless damsels in danger, while Van Helsing and the others are the protagonists in this film. With vivid special effects for its time, great cinematography and great performances, especially by Winona Ryder, Gary Oldman, Keanu Reeves and Anthony Hopkins, Dracula will sink its teeth and latch on until it takes your breath away. It's a fantastic old film that's worth a long look.
Continuity mistake: When the great doors to Dracula's castle open, an ornate table with a statuette and two large candle holders is standing inside the castle. When Dracula's shadow appears, the statuette is still there, but the candle holders are gone. (00:12:35)
Trivia: When Mina meets Dracula on the street, after she first rebuffs him, she walks past a sandwich board advertising a play with Henry Irving at the Lyceum Theatre. For many years, Bram Stoker worked as the business manager of the Lyceum Theatre, which was run by Irving. The famous stage actor is widely believed to be one of Stoker's inspirations for Count Dracula. (00:46:30)
Question: Why do the guards in the mental asylum wear cages over their heads?
