When the lady taxi driver is thawed out of the deep freeze, she is only wearing some type of short gown, which is orange and wraps around her torso under her armpits. When she runs down the hall to attack Sam moments later, she is wearing a short white robe with a belt tied around her waist. It is highly unlikely she would have changed her wardrobe.
In the film's opening fight scene, some candles are knocked out of a candelabra on the table only to return in the next shot.
When Mamuwalde is fighting Dracula's men, he grabs a torch to fend them off. One man removes a huge sword from the wall to counter him. However, in following shots of Mamuwalde thrusting the torch forward to keep the swordsman at bay, the exact same sword is still mounted on the wall behind him.
When Gordon and Jack arrive at the hospital where they confront the vampire lady taxi driver, it is the dead of night with no hint of sunrise. When Gordon opens the blinds, it is obviously still night with only orange streetlight coming in through the window, yet the lady screams and "dies", and Gordon says the sunlight killed her. Sunlight would have been much brighter.
During the Hues Corporation's musical number in the nightclub, several shots jump back and forth between the dancers and the singers, albeit with both in the same spot on the set. The backup band remains present in the same position.
Just after Dr. Gordon Thomas and Lt, Jack Peters are attacked by Juanita as a vampire and she is killed by sunlight, Gordon states: "Vampires multiply geometrically. First night there's one; second night, two; third night, four. " This makes no sense. What the scriptwriter should have written is "Vampires multiply *exponentially*."
Incorrectly labeled as a goof - When Tina unchains the door for Michelle after previously unbolting it to see who was knocking, she does NOT unbolt the door a second time, as claimed in a previous post, but merely reflexively lowers her hand (which is still holding the knife) to it before reaching for the doorknob and opening the door.
Mamuwalde could never have survived locked in a coffin for less than 200 years without blood, as vampires can live for only a few days without a fresh supply of blood, during which time they will slowly age and die.
Vampires are fictional and the lore differs from story to story at the whim of the screenwriters, there's no reason to question why Mamuwalde could not survive for that amount of time.

When one of Dracula's men grabs a vase and throws it at Mamuwalde's head, it clearly misses him, yet he is knocked out and has a bloody wound on his forehead.
When the policeman is slammed into the wall of the alley by Mamuwalde, if one looks closely, dirt can be seen on the back of the policeman's jacket beforehand, indicating a previous take.
Part of the film's plot hinges on the fact that Mamuwalde's image does not show up in a photograph and its negative, but he and the other vampires in the film cast obvious shadows.
Several times during this movie the vampires' fangs are misaligned (one fang under their noses and the other way to the side and away from under their noses).
When Gordon and Jack go to the warehouse and are fighting the vampires, they pull oil lamps out of a box and begin throwing them at the vampires like Molotov cocktails. When the lamps break, they burst into flames like Molotov cocktails. None of the lamps are lit when they are thrown, however, so when they break, they should not burst into flames.
When Tina gets home after first running into Mamuwalde, she first puts the chain lock in place, then turns the bolt lock. Minutes later, Michelle knocks on her door and is able to open it so that the viewers can see her, with only the chain holding the door. Tina closes the door, undoes the chain and unnecessarily unlocks the bolt to let Michelle in.
The film was set in Los Angeles, CA, but a map of Staten Island (which is a borough of New York City NY) is hanging on the wall in the police station during a close-up shot of the doctor meeting with the police.
Blacula was entombed in his casket in 1780 and is not freed until 1972. Yet when a photographer shoots his picture he knows he cannot be photographed, that he will not show on the photo. As photography only came into being in the 1840s, after Blacula was entombed, Blacula would have been ignorant of photography and therefore ignorant of the fact that he could not be photographed and would not appear in a photograph.
It is never made clear in the film why, if Dracula's secret room was found less than 200 years later when his castle was being renovated, the coffin contained inside it was never removed or at least opened.
Since McCoy and Shaffer had Blacula's body shipped back to the US from Transylvania, it would have been discovered by customs inspectors when the coffin would have been opened to be checked for contraband.
Mamuwalde has only just been released from a less-than-200-year-long imprisonment in a coffin, yet when Nancy takes his picture at the night club, he knows what a camera is.
When Mamuwalde first arrives at Tina's apartment he steps in the door and asks to be invited in. As a vampire, he shouldn't be able to even walk through the door without an invitation.
Vampires are fictional and the lore differs from story to story at the whim of the screenwriters, there's no reason to question why Mamuwalde could not enter uninvited.
