Corrected entry: Friar, so far as this poster knows, is a term used to denote male members of the Catholic Franciscan Order - monks. Carl's making a distinction between the two is incorrect. It's possible he's trying to state that he hasn't taken his final vows yet (which would make sense, as he has no tonsure), but in that case he wouldn't be called Friar, and he'd still be bound to the same vows as a monk (as long as he dressed/acted/considered himself a member he'd have to act like one - it's part of the training).

Van Helsing (2004)
Corrected entry: When Van Helsing and Carl first arrive in Transylvania, we see a shot of Anna planting her feet on the well and talking to VH and Carl. On her right leg, tucked under the laces of her boot, is a white-handled knife. Later, when she takes Van Helsing to her house and is loading up on weapons to hunt Dracula, we see her pick the same knife up off a table and slide it into her boot - where it should already have been.
Correction: Anna pulls the knife out to slash at one of the Brides who is carrying her off. The Bride drops Anna onto the roof and Anna loses the knife as she falls. She probably has a matching knife back at the house and so just replaces the one she lost when she gets home.

Correction: Monks were known as 'Brother' and the head monk as 'Father'. They were attached to a monastery, and had to stay there, taking vows of chastity and poverty. Friars, on the other hand, would travel around certain areas, making 'house calls', if you will. They were allowed more licence than Brothers and Fathers, and were allowed to drink, feast and have fun with the women (not officially allowed to, of course, but the church didn't exactly frown upon it).
