POSSIBLE SPOILER: It's the only one I can think of. In fact, when he stabbed that lady, I thought, "Well, that certainly was something different for Dracula to do!"

I thought similar aswell!

Hammer did seem to have different rules for each vampire film. In "Horror of Dracula," Van Helsing says that the vampires' ability to change into bats was a "common fallacy," yet in the first sequel, "The Brides of Dracula," at least one bat gets screen time in two sequences ("Scars of Dracula" featured more violent bats). Christopher Lee voiced his objections to Dracula being able to remove the stake from his own heart in "Dracula Has Risen from the Grave" (because the hero was an atheist unable to put the vampire away with a prayer to God), yet it proved to be a shocking scene that made audiences sit up and take notice. I can easily understand him objecting to Dracula stabbing Tania to death with an ordinary knife in "Scars of Dracula," simply because it was already established that she was a vampire. One vampire stabbing another to death? I enjoyed the film more than "Taste the Blood of Dracula," but it was clearly inferior to Lee's first three, and better than the two modern ones that followed. Lee's ideas were usually shot down by the studio, who wound up doing only three more films in their Dracula series, all with Peter Cushing.

I thought the same. He's supposed to be some sort of vampire lord that can suck the life out of anybody, then in this film he turns into Michael Myers/Jason!

I was rather amused and surprised when he did that. I'd never seen him do *that* before.

He's a nasty piece of work in this one, is old Drac. This is one of the Hammer Draculas I didn't like so much. Still a 7/10 for me though.

"Hey! Ladies! That was fun!"

Unless you count versions (like Coppola's) that address the Vlad the Impaler connection (self-explanatory) or the Langela version where he stabs Van Helsing with a stake meant for him.

It sort of reminded me of the scene with Karen and the garden trowel in Night of the Living Dead. She could have just as easily walked up to her mother and bit a huge chunk out of her, but the way she chose was much more interesting and effective in my opinion.
