Vampire in Brooklyn is a 1995 horror/comedy film directed by Wes Craven.Eddie Murphy (who also co-wrote the film) stars as Maximillian, a vampire from Jamaica who is the Last of His Kind. He has come to Brooklyn to seek out Rita Veder (Angela Bassett), the only known half-vampire in America, and teach her who she is. She just happens to be a police detective. Maximillian also has problems with the courting concept. Killing her annoying roommate Nikki (Simbi Khali) is not the way to impress a girl. | |

Second-Hand Storytelling | |
| Vampire in Brooklyn / int_125e12c4 | comment |
Second-Hand Storytelling: The movie's resident supernatural expert and one-time vampire hunter Dr. Zeko tells Rita and Justice about how he got into a fight with a vampire while trying to protect a woman. He said he lost the fight but he was somehow able to walk away from the altercation with nothing but a very large scar on one side of his face. The woman was Rita's mother, and thus it's implied he killed Rita's father, who was a vampire. Rita, and especially Justice, think Zeko is a fraud and that he's lying to make a name for himself. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Vampire in Brooklyn / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: After Maximilian interrupts the mobsters' murder of Julius, he gets shot and falls over as if he is dead. The pretty boy Anthony laughs and says "He's no fun; he just fell over." A few seconds later, Maximilian gets back up and reminisces about how he has been stabbed, hung, burned, and broken on the rack, but up until then never shot. He even comments about how it itches a little bit. He then rips out Tony's heart and rips Anthony apart. | |

Failed a Spot Check: After Rita walks away in disgust from Nikki's bedroom door (thinking Justice had come back to the apartment to screw Nikki), a few seconds later Nikki starts screaming, in a clearly non-sexual way, Somehow Rita couldn't hear her roommate getting murdered by Max from a few rooms away. | |

I'm a Humanitarian: Notable because Max apparently doesn't just drink blood. When Julius offers to get him some food, he spits a massive gobbet of flesh out of his teeth and announces with a smirk, "I already had Italian." | |

Bad Boss: Maximillian is awful to Julius. Granted, Julius is an idiot and causes a lot of his own problems, but Maximillian has no qualms about throwing Julius around. He even pulls out his tongue in one scene and threatens to hang him with it after he screws up Max's attempt to seduce Rita in Zeko's nightclub. | |

Body Horror | |
| Vampire in Brooklyn / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: This is what happens to Julius after Maximillian turns him into his Ghoul slave. Mostly it's done for laughs as it exaggerates Julius' role as a Butt-Monkey, but it's still creepy and disgusting because Julius becomes a walking corpse. In fact, he is a zombie, even though he still retains his intelligence, but as his uncle would say, "Thank God for small favors," because he was an idiot to begin with. At first, Julius loses the pigmentation in his skin, an ear, a hand; his hair falls out and his skin is mottled; and towards the end, one of his eyes falls out and gets squished. He eventually becomes a Karma Houdini because he finds and puts on Maximillian's ring, which fully regenerates him and turns him into a very sexy vampire. | |

Sequel Hook | |

Sequel Hook: Julius turned into a vampire and replaced Max at the end of the movie; obviously, this was setting us up for a sequel that was never done. Given this was Eddie Murphy's show from start to finish, it's more likely it was The Stinger. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Vampire in Brooklyn / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: The gangsters Max killed, and the rich, Spoiled Brat white lady he tries to convince Rita to feed off of later in the film. After complaining about "the help" to her boyfriend before saying goodnight, she then speaks very condescendingly to Max, who she thinks just wants to mug her. She goes on about how she understands "the negro" and how they've been oppressed by the white man. She goes into Too Dumb to Live territory because speaking condescendingly to an attacker is not a smart thing to do. | |

Our Vampires Are Different: They have most of the traditional traits, like shapeshifting, vulnerability to sunlight, sleeping in coffins, and only capable of dying if stabbed in the heart. Additionally, however, they're specifically stated to be a species, and while they can reproduce with humans, normal victims can't become vampires themselves though ghouls can. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Vampire in Brooklyn / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: During the opening Narration, Maximilian indirectly references Dracula when he talks about how The Nosferatu were originally from Egypt but were expelled thousands of years ago. Many of the vampires relocated to the Carpathian Mountains in eastern Europe. It doubles as somewhat of a Take That! when he smugly mentions that "others of better taste—including myself—settled in a part of the Caribbean known as The Bermuda Triangle." The scene of a ship crashing into port (because a vampire had killed the crew) also occurs in Dracula. When Julius's arm falls off, his uncle tells him "Now you're The Fugitive!" | |

Our Ghouls Are Creepier | |
| Vampire in Brooklyn / int_d2d520f4 | comment |
Our Ghouls Are Creepier: They're created by being fed vampire blood and act as servants, though they suffer physical decay over time. But they can become vampires themselves if they last long enough. | |

What Is Evil? | |
| Vampire in Brooklyn / int_e277967 | comment |
What Is Evil?: Having taken over for Preacher Pauley, Max explains carefully that without evil to contrast with it, there can be no good; therefore, evil is ultimately good as it causes good to exist. Followed by leading the congregation in the impromptu gospel song "Evil Is Good" | |

Insistent Terminology | |
| Vampire in Brooklyn / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: After being chased down by Mafia loan sharks because of an unpaid debt, Julius calls one of them, a handsome pretty boy in a suit, "Tony." The man gets upset and says "What are you, mental? How many times I gotta tell ya? I'm Anthony! He's Tony." And a fat, middle-aged bald mobster exits the car. | |

The Not-Love Interest | |
| Vampire in Brooklyn / int_f1e68523 | comment |
The Not-Love Interest: Rita and Justice seem to be the dynamic duo as detectives. But they seem to be more than just friends as Rita is later seen jealous of Justice by accusing him of having screwed her roommate Nikki and how Justice gladly responds when Rita kisses him later. | |

Pungeon Master: Maximillian, who has a very wicked sense of humor; most of his puns are death-related. | |

Dingy Trainside Apartment | |

Dingy Trainside Apartment: Rita and Nikki shared an apartment right near the elevated subway tracks. But neither of them is bothered by it because it's Brooklyn and the city never sleeps. | |

Will They or Won't They? | |
| Vampire in Brooklyn / int_fdc1e848 | comment |
Will They or Won't They?: Rita and Justice have this dynamic at the beginning. They obviously care for each other, but they are too afraid to admit it. Not to mention, they've ever kissed in the middle and at the end of the film. | |
