Did You Know?
Trivia | Christopher Lee found himself getting increasingly dismayed and disillusioned that Dracula's portrayal was moving increasingly away from the source material, calling this movie "a mixture of Howard Hughes and Dr. No" in a 1994 interview. See more » |
Goofs | It is not possible to melt silver over a small propane camping gas stove as shown since it has a melting point of about 962 °C. The apparatus loses heat too quickly to achieve such temperatures. Molten metal at such temperatures glows with a white-reddish hue as a function of the temperature instead of remaining silver-colored as shown. It is also not possible to use a lead bullet mold as shown because silver is much harder and more resilient than lead and thus cannot be trimmed off with the mold's trimming cutter as shown.
