Mistake Continuity: When Dr Seward (Richard E Grant) goes to see Renfield on the third occasion (I think) he gets bitten on the right side of his neck, then grabs the left side and then runs off.

Mistake Continuity: In the party scene where Lucy is receiving her guests the 'cowboy' character leaves his hat on the sofa, where it is sat on. A moment later he is holding it in his hand and it is in perfect shape.

Mistake Continuity: If you look in one of the first scenes, Winona Ryder (as Vlad the Impaler's wife), is lying on the floor, dead. Gary Oldman's Vlad falls to his knees, heartbroken, right next to the "dead" Winona, who flinches.

Mistake Continuity: The scene where Van Helsing is drawing blood from Lucy Westenra, she alternates from having one breast exposed to being covered up from one cut to the next.

Mistake Continuity: On the carriage ride to Dracula's Castle, Jonathan looks out the window and sees the wheels of the carriage. In the next shot, the wheels are covered by a sheet of fabric.

Mistake Continuity: At Lucy's dinner party, we see Jack Seward pick his hat up off the sofa so Quincy Morris does not sit on it. Once Quincy sits down, he gets a funny look on his face and then magically pulls Seward's crumpled hat out from under his butt.

Mistake Audio problem: When Holmwood has the gun pointed in Van Helsing's face in Lucy's crypt, Van Helsing explains about the undead. Switch to a shot behind Helsing and his jaw is still moving even though he has stopped speaking.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where R.M. Renfield tries to bite Dr. Jack Seward on the neck, he goes for the right side of neck, but in the next shot Seward is holding his neck's left side.

Mistake Other: When Mina is with Dracula within Dr. Seward's room, she is wearing a pink sort of nightgown through which, at times, you can see her tiny underwear (more visible when he confesses to be Dracula and she is upset about him having killed Lucy - turning her into a vampire), in a fashion that would not be likely to be worn by women in the late 19th century.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: After the hairy beast Dracula attacks Sadie Frost, Winona Ryder comes to get Sadie in the garden maze. While they're walking back, you can see the camera's shadow on Winona's back.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where the wolf scares Mina in the movie theatre, her hat switches back and forth from being forward on her head, to being tilted back. It does this in about 5 shots.

Mistake Audio problem: When Dracula and Mina first meet on the street they begin to speak. Dracula's voice has not been dubbed during the first sentence or two. Then in mid stream his voice changes from a high pitched regular rehearsal voice to the heavily accented Romanian voice used throughout the rest of the picture.

Mistake Revealing: In the scene where they are in the crypt to kill Lucy, they open the stone lid and look down. Clearly you can see glass on top of the inner coffin, yet later when Lucy goes in the coffin there is no glass.

Mistake Continuity: When Dracula sees Mina's picture in his castle, her face is turned to one side; when we see the picture again in the train scene, later in the film, the photo is reversed and her face is turned to the opposite side.

Mistake Revealing: In the scene where Dracula comes into the chapel after his battle in the Crusades and finds her dead, her eyes are twitching and he runs up to her.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the scene when Dracula is going to enter Lucy's bedroom for the last time, an unseen force knocks Cary Elwes backwards. Upon careful inspection, you can see a wire or cable pull him back.

Mistake Revealing: In the last scene, when Mina Harker lays Dracula's body in the cathedral's altar, she kisses the vampire's lips and he turns into his human self. His face is covered with blood down from his nose, but after the kiss Mina's lips have no sign of blood.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where the brides of Dracula come out topless to suck Jonathan's blood, Dracula breaks in, furious, and the brides are suddenly fully clothed.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Dracula stabs the cross and blood pours out of it, in one shot it is slowly creeping towards Mina's dead body and in another shot it is rushing past her and in the next shot it's slowly creeping again.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the chase scene near the end, when Dracula is hiding inside an earth-filled coffin in the gypsy carriage, you can clearly see the tip of one of his rubber-made finger extensions bending.
