Shuler Hensley, playing Frankenstein's Monster, also stood in as a body double for the CG Mr. Hyde for fight scenes between him and Van Helsing. Shuler wore a cardboard cutout with Mr. Hyde's face on top of his head so Hugh Jackman could have a point of reference when looking at his face.

The weather and its effects in the Transylvanian village keep changing dramatically. When Van Helsing arrives in the morning, a thin layer of snow dusts the homes and ground. That evening, Velkan breaks into the Valerios home during a rainstorm that comes and goes, concealing and revealing the full moon. As Van Helsing chases him into the village, not only has the rain stopped, but it has started to snow again. The ground is again dry except for the snow, which at least should be melted slush after the rain. Then, after tracking Velkan to the nearby Frankenstein Castle, the rainstorm has started again.

Van Helsing clearly states that he only kills monsters/creatures of evil. Frankenstein's Monster was not evil. Therefore he felt that he could not kill him even though, on several occasions, the monster asked him to.
