Continuity by iris_harte · 31 May 2016
Toward the end of film, there’s a continuity slip in the scene where Anna is rushing the werewolf cure to Van Helsing. When the vampire bride intercepts her on the large fallen pillar, Anna falls into a seated position holding the cure in her left hand. She then transfers it to her right. However, in the following close-up, the cure is back in her left hand, and she appears to switch it once more.

When Dracula walks upside down and shouts Let us Begin, a wire and pulley device supporting him is visible under his feet, between the sides of a line on top of the bridge

Physics fail by jwise10 · 29 Jun 2010
At the end of Van Helsing, when Dracula’s offspring explode, the CGI doesn’t quite line up. The goo from their bodies doesn’t always match the splashes on the ground—sometimes it appears to hit and vanish, while in other moments the splash happens a second or two after impact. It’s a subtle mismatch in the effects, usually hard to notice unless you’re watching closely (or in slow motion).
