Castlevania Whips


I once thought a live action version of my favorite video game of all time "Castlevania" was a genius idea. I imagined a flaming whip taking the heads of beasts of all shape and size, and the rank dark corridors of the castle glowing with slime. I imagined the score composed by Varg. Imagining too much is bad for me.

Paul WS Anderson, the director of such classics as Mortal Combat, Resident Evil, Soldier, has taken the helm of the "Castlevania" film in reality, beyond imagination. The fucked thing is;

He has replaced the Dracula Slaying Belmont WHIP, with a SWORD. Retard.

For your information:

The Belmont family (ベルモンド pronounced as "Berumondo" and romanized as "Belmondo" in Japanese) is the bloodline sworn to oppose Lord Dracula in the Castlevania series. They are not the only heroes in the franchise, but often play an integral role in any game's storyline. The Belmont surname was lost to some characters due to the European patrilineal naming tradition. If not Belmonts in name, they were certainly Belmonts by blood and conviction, and are accordingly considered part of the Belmont clan. Most, though not all, of these characters wield a holy whip called Vampire Killer as their primary weapon.
