The obvious comparison is with late 19th century Dracula in London. This story happens 60-70 years prior.
The characters all luve in this fictional German city called Wisberg, but they have English names, surnames, and no German actor was used.
I think that's sort of snubbing the two previous Nosferatu movies (1922 and 1979). They are not giving credit to the people who created Count Orlok. If they wanted a British story, just make another Dracula movie.
In the 1979, there was some explanation that the count himself was serving and feeding the protagonist. Here is not clear how he was able to survive for weeks or months in the castle with no servants to help him.
I believe those details could be fixed, but apart from that, great flic.

That movie had plenty of potential if producers asked fans what did they like about the cartoon series.
For us kids, it was an introduction to Greek Mythology, to Astronomy (each knight represents a constellation), and there was more talking than actually fighting. This is not Mortal Kombat. It is sort of philosophical and aimed at kids, early teens.
So the movie focus too much on Seya quest to find his sister, which has too many flashbacks. And time is wasted in fighting goons who don't add much to the plot.
In the series, you would sympathize with the characters personality. So less fighting and more mythology would make it more interesting.

The original road house is so corny and ridiculous that is an actually a pretty good entertaining movie.
The new road house fails to entertain. First of all, because the replacement cast is annoying. The protagonist love interest moves from one attractive bimbo to an unattractive feminist who hates all men. The original cast included a bunch of overweight people to show authenticity of the bouncers, patrons.
The new one has a gentrified clientele who looks that they are all personal trainers. Even the villains look not menacing at all. The owner of the Road House treats vandalism like it is a normal thing. In any bar or restaurant, broken equipment means money loss.
Then you have a bookstore girl with a stupid hairstyle. When Patrick Swaize was the lead, he tried to create the character of a bouncer/philosopher. Who would muse brains instead of muscle. The new one, the main character doesn't look or act smart.
In short, it is a wasted opportunity.
