Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
你说主创团队和米老鼠的决策层真的存心故意在乳吧，其实也不能说是，他们只是保持着傲慢，以至于不屑于多花点心思，便只是停留在舒适区里，在那可怜的理解范围内试图表达一点善意或者说假扮成一个有善意的人。这部电影在同样无知的第三者眼里可能就是在狂舔，但是对中国人来说，由于这些外人对中国的了解只能用悲剧来形容，不管他是不是假扮听起来都非常的cringe非常让人感觉不适，以至于会让我想说 “兄啊要不你还是直球乳一乳算了，别整这些幺蛾子了”
漫威耍尽心思想要讨好中国人的电影却无法在中国上映！
特别是这部电影！非常认真地特意提到了mandarin！我看到差点笑出来，总之是经主角之口告诉大家，我们这个故事跟傅满洲毫无瓜葛！
好家伙，开始了
比《花木兰》好看十倍！！爸爸妈妈对战就是《一代宗师》那段的翻版即视感哎
比黑豹好看。但是救命，男主角简直挫气到不行了！！！梁朝伟和陈法拉怎么可能生出这样的娃！！！
电影内容基本不辱，制作很精良，只是很恶心被当资本的韭菜，打击正版，从我做起
笑死我了！漫威在“东方皮”里搞了个弑父的文本，而且男主认祖归宗认的还是母系氏族，谁看了不说一声好家伙哈哈哈哈。比想象中要好，尤其是各种城市太空背景看厌了，突然搞个农家乐（？）还蛮新奇的。不过我真觉得这个故事往纳尼亚传奇/神奇动物的方向走，比跟主世界超英混有趣得多。反正“人”的部分也就那样了，不如多看看动物。
天蝎座安排了一切 好久没踏入电影院 也好久没有完整地看完一部片了 动作很炫酷 pop song也好听 原来男主妈妈是陈法拉演的 好漂亮啊 最戳我的一句是 i will never leave u again 其实不算什么特别的台词 却差点红了眼眶 （hoodie盖着腿好comfy哈哈哈
梁叔你用胳膊肘打儿子那一下用的明明是八极拳，这是觉得咏春不够用了嘛。
看到尚气拿到老爸的五环时，五环之歌在我的脑子里开始疯狂回放 “啊 五环，你比四环多一环，啊 五环，你比六环少一环”。故事就很好莱坞，看个开头就大概知道了结局。所以注意力全都集中在其他奇奇怪怪的点上了，比如和尼先生争论这龙看起来像不像一只中国龙；talo村的颜色稍微艳俗，如果换老谋子来，色彩会高级很多；尚气在水里的时候我以为他吃了哈利波特的鳃囊草；尚气和katy没有cp感…
不提剧情和设定，这个东方龙的特效是我看过最炫酷和生动的了
很好了，没有对中国文化的奇怪解读和使用，尤其包含了一些亚裔才有的文化细节。公交车几段果然是成家班的手笔。最后的怪兽大战出其意料的好。除了剧情和人物逻辑串不起来其他的超预期。
确定片尾曲不来首猜你死说唱？真的挺像，别猜，会死。
前半部《一代宗师：洪家铁线拳》+《太极3：塔罗村》；后半部《长城2》，又名《龙之战2》，下次基多拉被唤醒直接叫尚气去吧，哥斯拉可以在海底躺平了。P.S.一直以为老王平时画个圈跳出是去办正事，万万没想到是去地下拳赛赚外快 🤣
怪不得梁朝伟会接mandarin这个角色，原来是个情种。梁朝伟沧桑感和稚气集于一身也确实符合这个角色的背景…要不那句我吃的盐比你吃的米都多我差点忘了他已经活了近千年…
超赞！讲中文居然基本都是母语中文（或者至少是从小双语）。而且并没有为了照顾观众，对话开头讲两句中文然后马上转英文的，大段大段对话都是中文（英文字母），真是太有诚意啦！打戏基本上可以跟香港武打片相提并论。梁朝伟演爹真是又狠又深情，不愧是金马影帝。全程紧凑无尿点，而且情节发展较为曲折，有点层层剥茧的感觉。强烈推荐～
公車戲和澳門戲看得腎上腺素飆升，女主其實挺可愛的，也第一次在西方電影裡看到龍作為正面形象出現…總體而言不是緊張就是幽默，每一幀排得很滿，外加優良的畫面製作和音樂，沒有看過漫威系列也不影響觀感。
文武的爱是伟大的，不知道你们有没有发现，他放下十环的同时，也意味着他放弃了长生，与其一个人在这个世界，兜兜转转几千个春秋，不如和心爱的人一辈子长相厮守，我可以支持尚气打败自己的父亲，但我无法苟同他要杀死自己的父亲.
全篇小心翼翼地讨好中国观众，但中国观众还是不会满意，片中中国人的形象实在让人喜欢不来，场景又太刻意，不伦不类的，而且这种父子关系也太奇怪了。中国元素太片面漂浮了，竹林，太极什么的，不用看就知道一定有，中国的更多好美的场景需要更用心去挖掘
