10 Hilariously Unthreatening Movie Villains

5. Dracula - Blade: Trinity

Blade versus Dracula! That alone should have put Blade: Trinity on the map. Sadly, the third film in Wesley Snipes' Blade series was compromised from the start: the child-friendly 12A rating, killing off Whistler again, shoehorning in its annoying sidekicks, the iProduct placement, the even-more-annoying villains, and Ryan Reynolds at his most insufferable. No wonder Wesley Snipes was so pissed off the whole time.

Dominic Purcell's Dracula is far from the film's biggest problem, but he's certainly one of them. Move over classic screen Draculas - the Dracula of Blade: Trinity is a boring, sulky meathead entirely without charisma or screen presence.

Stomping and glowering from scene to scene, there's none of Dracula's charm or magnetism, replaced by a grumbling dullard who looks like he wandered in from the nearest football stadium. Even Leslie Neilsen in Dracula: Dead and Loving It could have posed a bigger threat than this poser.
