I hate how defenseless Dracula is

In these films. He doesn't seem stronger or faster than mortals and crosses send him running. What a revelationThe Night Stalker TV movie of the 70's must have been with that super strong fast vampire.

I wouldn't call him defenseless. He has above average strength supposedly but as Father Sandor pointed out he can be destroyed. I don't want my bad guys/monsters super human.

Me neither. He can't be that vulnerable seeing as how he kept coming back for all the sequels. Seems there was no way to get rid of him permanently as there was always the chance of him coming back. You could just put him to sleep for a while it seemed.

well.. in his brief encounter with Charles, he does break a sword with his bare hands and it does seem as if he is able to out maneuver and out point Charles with relative ease, almost as if he's playing with his prey... Like Father Sandor says, "He is not invulnerable" He has the classic weakness to the cross yes..

Does anyone notice that Dracula's family COAT OF ARMS has a CROSS ON IT ?

This vampire was a lot stronger and menacing than The Night Stalker
