Revealing mistakes: After Julius the Ghoul loses his hand, you can see it several times while he's driving the limo, encased in a latex glove. This is before he acquires the mannequin hand that he shows Maximillian. Continuity: The cross impression on the lady cop's neck Continuity: In the beginning, Julius is wearing tan trousers when Murphy saves him. As ha runs across he street he is in jeans, but inside the warehouse he is back in his tan trousers. GEOG: In the scene where Rita is running across the street outside her apartment after realizing she is a vampire, there is a Subway entrance visible. On the sign it says the A, E and F trains stop there although no station name is visible. However the E train stopped running into Brooklyn in 1976 and service ended at the World Trade center in lower Manhattan. |

Maximillian: [Julius is afraid that Maximillian wants to feed on him. Max pulls a bit of Tony the gangster out of his teeth] "I just had Italian." Maximillian: [after being shot] Interesting. I've been stabbed, and I've been hanged, and I've been burned. Even broken on the rack once, but I've never been shot before. Kind of itches a little! Silas Green: Who's driving this vessel? Stevie fucking Wonde Detective Justice: So you say you saw... what? Silas Green: It was a wolf godammit! A big black stinking ass wolf. The motherfucker jumped of the boat and ran over there. And when it got there the son of a bitch turned into a man. He did the flippflopp shit on me... Just like whore i used to know in Detroit back in -62. I'd go over her house on saturday night... she loved me, man. I'd come through the door, she's a man! Flippfloppin' and shit. You ever seen a motherfucker flippflopp on you and shit like that? In your face trying to flippflopp and shit! Detective Justice: So the wolf you saw looked something like that? Silas Green: the wolf? Hell no! That's a chihuahua compared to the motherfucker come at me! Policeman with dog: You people are ought to stay back! Killer here loves to bite! Maximillian: So do I! Anthony: [after his boss shoots Maximilian] Hey, he's no fun, he fell right over. Julius Jones: Hey, man, my pops always said the quickest way to a woman's heart - the church. Maximillian: It's actually through the ribcage, but that's a bit messy. |
