Agreed 100% with Filmmaker. Assault is an awesome movie, Napolean Wilson is one of the coolest bad-asses ever.
I didnt much care for that particular version of Dracula however. Despite staying true to the original idea of the Count, I didnt like Oldman as Dracula at all. Nor did I like Keanu Reeves as Harker, or Winona Rider as Mina. They can all be great actors, however they were brutally miscast. On the flip side, Hopkins makes a great Van Helsing, and Tom Waits is easily the best Renfield since Dwight Frye. IMO, Coppola over-romantisizes the whole story, which ruins the character of the Count. Worth seeing once, but I know I wont buy it myself.
