Pegadinha:

Dracula II: Ascension (2003) (V) and this movie were shot together as one movie. It was the director's and producers' intention to split the film into two during the shooting.

Goofs:

Vários: When Father Uffizi gets his whip back, he swings it over his head before hitting a vampire. While swinging, he hits a box that falls down. This is computer animated, which can be seen because the box falls a little before the 'whip' actually hits it.

Citações:

Luke: Uffizi.
Father Uffizi: What?
Luke: You don't really look like an Uffizi. How did you get a name like that anyway?
Father Uffizi: Came with the job.
Luke: So, like if I get the same job, I get a cool name like that?

Possibly the best direct-to-video movie ever!

One of the biggest cinematic disappointments of last year was BLADE: TRINITY, the final chapter in the BLADE trilogy. It wasn't a bad film by any means, but it wasn't nearly as good as it could have been considering it featured Dracula, the baddest vampire of all time. Dracula III: LEGACY is more like what BLADE: TRINITY should have been: a fast-paced, rousing action flick full of well written character and fleshed out plot lines. One really has to hand it to Joel Soisson and Patrick Lussier for their good screen writing. One also has to admire Patrick Lussier's directing. While his directing in Dracula 2000 and Dracula II: ASCENSION was admirable, his directing here made me a fan. He's a man who definitely knows how to direct a vampire film. This baby oozes with style not seen in a vampire flick since 1998's VAMPIRES, one of my top ten favorite vampire pictures of all time. Like VAMPIRES, 'LEGACY' is filled with cool gory bits, well done special effects, and a kick-ass main character (played by Jason Scott Lee). I really don't have any complaints about Dracula III: LEGACY. It's not a perfect film, but it is a fun ride and possibly the best direct-to-video movie ever. I understand why Dimension didn't give it a theatrical release. It wouldn't make sense to give this a theatrical release when Dracula II: ASCENSION went direct-to-video although it certainly did deserve a theatrical release. Because both Dracula II: ASCENSION and Dracula III: LEGACY went direct-to-video, I don't think that they will ever find the audience that they deserve to. My rating: 7/10
