Mistake Continuity: When Prince Vlad enters the chapel to find Elisabeta dead, the floor in front of the baptismal font is clean, but when he tilts the basin, stains of Elisabeta's blood can be seen on the floor (best seen in the overhead shot).

Mistake Continuity: Elisabeta's suicide letter is covered with stains of blood and water, which keep changing size/shape and position between shots.

Mistake Continuity: When Vlad finds Elisabeta dead, the suicide letter on her chest keeps changing position between shots.

Mistake Continuity: After Prince Vlad kneels down by Elizabeta's dead body, in two shots, a part of the priest's shadow can be seen above her head, without the priest standing there.

Mistake Revealing: When 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 Revealing: 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: When Prince Vlad tilts the baptismal font, the stains of Elisabeta's blood on the floor changes position between the overhead shot and the close-up, easily seen from the cracks in the floor.

Mistake Continuity: When Dracula is holding the communion chalice filled with blood, the priest's crucifix can be seen lying on the floor in the background, but a few shots earlier, there was no crucifix there.

Mistake Continuity: When Dracula charges at the cross atop the altar, Elisabeta's blood can be seen on the floor in the background. When Dracula is holding the communion chalice, the stains are darker, and change position.

Mistake Continuity: When Dracula fills the communion chalice with blood from the bleeding cross, the blood is spilled over the sides and base of the chalice, but when he drinks the blood, the outside of the goblet is clean.

Mistake Continuity: When Elisabeta is lying dead in the chapel, her neck is showing, but after Dracula drinks blood from the chalice, her collar is suddenly reaching her chin.

Mistake Continuity: When 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 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 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: When Jonathan is dining in the castle, as Dracula says, "That relationship was not entirely successful", there is nothing on Jonathan's fork, but in the next shot, there's a peace of food on it. The food stays there during the next few shots, until Dracula says, "It is no laughing matter", and the fork is suddenly empty again.

Mistake Continuity: When Dracula stamps the paper in the castle, in the wideshot, the wax seal is several centimetres away from his signature, but in the close-up, it is right next to his name. Also, his signature differs slightly between the two shots.

Mistake Continuity: During the scene where Jonathan is closing the transactions in Dracula's castle, the position and arrangement of the papers and objects on the table changes dramatically between shots, without anyone redecorating the table.

Mistake Continuity: When Jonathan is closing the transactions in Dracula's castle, a huge map of London can seen on the wall. There's a long wideshot where the camera pans along with Dracula's shadow on the map, and every inch of the map is revealed. Then, when Dracula mentions Renfield, Renfield's card, pinned to the map, appears out of nowhere.

Mistake Continuity: After Mina discovers the "Arabian Nights" book while she's typing, a chair behind her moves closer to the desk between the wideshot of her from behind, and when Lucy walks over to her.

Mistake Continuity: When Lucy sits down with Mina when Mina is typing, the folds in the curtain on the left changes after they open the book.
