Ah, the political incorrectness of the late 70s!ĭracula quickly learns that navigating life in New York is no easy task. Naturally, he grabs a TV before fleeing the scene. They try to mess with Dracula, but they’re no match for somebody that can melt switchblades and telekinetically throw one of them through the front window of an appliance store. Naturally, a group of black street thugs target the white guy dressed like a maitre d’. The Count is forced to walk through Harlem at night to get to his hotel in Manhattan. Needless to say, the mourners are surprised to see a white man rise from the coffin mid-eulogy. A mix-up at the airport results in Dracula’s coffin being sent to a black church in Harlem.
#LOVE AT FIRST BITE RENFIELD HOW TO#
NYC sure knows how to welcome foreign tourists. Dracula and his bug-eating manservant Renfield (Johnson, Laugh-In) decide to go to New York so he can find Cindy and declare his eternal love for her.
The people of Transylvania aren’t sorry to see him go. One night, Communist government officials show up to inform him that he has 48 hours to vacate his castle as they plan to convert it into a training facility for gymnasts.
He’s convinced that supermodel Cindy Sondheim (James, Kate & Allie) is the current reincarnation of the girl he first met 700 years earlier. Set in modern-day 1979, Dracula spends every waking hour in his castle pining for his true love.
#LOVE AT FIRST BITE RENFIELD MOVIE#
The premise of the movie is GREAT! In a sentence, Dracula takes a bite out of The Big Apple With Love at First Bite, the actor with the eternal suntan shows a real flair for comedy. Hamilton is famous for his debonair style it made him a perfect romantic lead. Right off the bat, this is ideal casting. Of course I’m talking about Count Dracula. It stars George Hamilton as the most famous bloodsucker in movie history. I’d also count the 1979 vampire spoof Love at First Bite among my favorite horror-comedies. I like it but not enough to include it on my list. Sorry, not a huge fan of Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein.
The short list consists of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, An American Werewolf in London, The Return of the Living Dead, Shaun of the Dead and the original Fright Night. In my book, there are only a few truly great horror-comedies. Love at First Bite (1979) American International/Comedy-Horror RT: 94 minutes Rated PG (vampirism, language, some sensuality, drugs) Director: Stan Dragoti Screenplay: Robert Kaufman Music: Charles Bernstein Cinematography: Edward Rosson Release date: Ap(US) Cast: George Hamilton, Susan Saint James, Richard Benjamin, Dick Shawn, Arte Johnson, Sherman Hemsley, Isabel Sanford, Barry Gordon, Eric Laneuville, Ronnie Schell, Bob Basso, Bryan O’Byrne, Michael Pataki, Hazel Shermet, Stanley Brock, Danny Dayton.
