Of course, I think that, had he not died so young, Brandon would have made some really awesome movies, and, if he wanted to, he would’ve played the title character in a Dracula film. Of course, I think that when it came to a character of public domain like Dracula, Brandon would’ve put his own modern spin on the story, like having Dracula use martial arts (such as Shaolin Kung-Fu and Jeet Kune Do), and fighting a gang of bad guys and draining them of their blood so that they never get another chance to commit their crimes, too.
From my perspective, Brandon definitely would’ve done an awesome job with the character of Dracula... the fangs, the young girls swooning (like they did with Rudolph Valentino back in the 1920s when he played the title character in the 1921 silent film The Sheik) as he would systematically drain the lifeblood from their bodies so that they surrendered to him... that would’ve been very neat to see, indeed...
Plus, I would’ve paid good money to see Brandon as Dracula and hear him say lines like “Listen to them — the children of the night. What sweet music they make”, or even these ones (although he would probably say it to Sarah from The Crow, especially if Rochelle was asked to play the character):
Dracula (Brandon Lee): (to Sarah) Now it is you, my best beloved one. You will be flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood. You shall cross land or sea to do my bidding. (He walks over to her and, after gently pulling her to her feet and over to him, unfastens her dressing gown and slides it off her shoulders before taking off his black cloak, and then finally picking her up bridal-style and putting her down on the bed, and rests her against the coverlet, while laying down with her) I need your blood… I need.
Just imagine the possibilities there...
