@RMJ1984 Wow, you *are* stupid, and prove my point that you don't know what research is. In order to successfully make this video, James did research by watching all the movies and then comparing them to the book. Of course he had fun too, but that's simply a byproduct of comparing the facts of the subject that he enjoys. Heck, even if James ranked the movies in order of "fun he had" he still would be applying his opinion to the fact-gathering (in this case seeing how much fun they are) while watching the movies. Example: If you eat 10 different chocolate bars, and then rank them in order of your favourites, your opinion will be based on the *research* you did by eating the 10 bars. You gathered your facts, and then made your opinion based on those facts. That''s literally what research is. Also, I haven't watched a Marvel movie since Iron Man 2, so I won't be watching Avengers.

The weird transformations Dracula goes through in the movie wouldn't be too out of place with the games, the idea of reincarnation and Dracula having a wife named Elisabeta who's death made him renounce God fits with Lament of Innocence, and Coppola's movie is one of the few adaptations that has Quincy Morris, who's son John Morris would go on to be a main character in Castlevania Bloodlines.

But I'll agree with the comments: Lee was an impressive man (had the privilege and good fortune to meet him and his wife in person, a few years before he passed away). Almost seems, that there was in event in the 20th century that he wasn't somehow part of. From having met JRR Tolkien to his efforts in WW2 or having his relative, Ian Flemming, loosely basing the character of James Bond on him... check out the execution of Eugen Weidmann on KZbin, a serial killer and the last person to be publicly beheaded in France: there's a very young Christopher Lee standing in the audience.

Stoker did mention that he was very tall for a normal person. I don't remember he gave an specific number but I'm always though of him being like 2m tall. Also the Castlevania wiki says Dracula is 1.93m tall (6f 4") bu i guess the artist took some liberties.

6:48 The "plague" in the original Nosferatu is actually just the vampire feeding on the town. The ship enters the harbor with its crew missing or dead, the crew member whose body they examine has died a mysterious death with a wound on his neck, and they think he's died from a plague. We the audience know the vampire killed him, but the townspeople don't. Then the vampire goes on killing people in the town, but they think it's a plague killing them. The "plague" ends when the vampire dies at the end of the story, because there WAS no actual plague, it was the vampire preying on the town. He's directly responsible for all that death - there never was a plague at all. The "plague" thread in the film didn't come from the novel, so on that you're correct. The film was made not long after the flu pandemic of the time, so it makes sense to write in the idea of a vampire killing people mysteriously being mistaken for a plague - a great idea.

One thing you didn't mention (though admittedly, it wouldn't have changed the final score): The Coppola version fixes Van Helsing's faulty logic from the book. For context: During the last 20-30 years of the 1800s, it was all the rage among authors in and around Great Britain to write characters utilizing logical theory, however different authors handled this with varying levels of competency. Arthur Conan Doyle had a solid understanding of the precepts of logical theory, and consequently portrayed it well in the character of Sherlock Holmes. Bram Stoker, by contrast, had a very limited understanding of logical theory, and as a result the character of Van Helsing makes several erroneous leaps of logic (though he ends up being correct, anyway, because that's what the story entailed). Some of the films use the same faulty logic as the book, but Coppola's version (as well as some I haven't seen, I have no doubt) fixes the faulty logic or omits those parts of the narrative entirely.

I loved the costumes, too, because they matched the book's fantastical atmosphere. I even liked the origin backstory that was added, because it made the movie satisfying, independently from the book. The only thing that I didn't like about the Coppola adaptation was how Van Helsing was depicted. Hopkins played him as a demented weirdo. He was creepy, which did not work for me. Bram Stoker's Van Helsing was a serious man of science who behaved himself.
