Warning! Spoilers!

...I am actually thinking Edward would probably win. Hear me out:

1.) He is as strong, if not stronger, than all the other vampires mentioned.

2.) He can survive in sunlight.

3.) He can only die from being ripped apart and burned.

4.) He doesn't have to sleep at all. Ever.

I think that makes him more or less invincible. The other vampire that might have a chance is Blade because he can also survive in sunlight and has a lot of nifty gadgets that would definitely aid in his overwhelming Edward.

I still think Gary Oldman should have won overall, but if we are just looking at the stats, Edward would definitely win in the end.

Mercurial, you're the voice of reason, but I will still give this a try:

1) Just how strong is this kid? How do you know he's stronger than Gary Oldman's Dracula, who can effortlessly fling people across the room?

2) The survival in sunlight is worth mentioning, so if Edward got the drop on Oldman in the day, Oldman would be weakened and would probably lose. I have a feeling Oldman would never engage in a fight in the day, though. And I think he has enough cunning to escape until nightfall.

3) Hmm, ripped apart and burned... That is tough. Is he too strong to be ripped apart by Dracula's bare hands? And how quickly does he regenerate?

4) Okay, so he doesn't sleep. I guess no one will ever sneak up on him when he's in his coffin. This doesn't mean he has unending energy though, right?

1) Edward is actually very strong, of course I don't have the specifics but flinging someone across the room would be nothing. Apparently he has the strength to rip apart an airplane wall, jump down, and survive the fall.

2) I'm not an expert on Oldman, but I gather he can fly? Edward can't, but he does have super speed and the ability to read minds from a distance. A few miles I think.

3) No regeneration for these vamps, but it doesn't hurt to get appendages ripped off, and that would mean the opponent has some immense strength to be able to accomplish that in the first place.

4) There are no coffins necessary at all. It seems like Edward has unending energy, actually. Feeding is only necessary once every two weeks.

So actually, it seems like Pattinson could take them....

After watching Interview with the Vampire this weekend, I would like to say that I feel Lestat got a bit of a raw deal. Sure, Cruise is a little on the pretty side, but that is one tough freakin' psychotic vampire there. He survived burning, starvation, mutilation, and was a complete derranged lunatic aside from that, in addition to being immune to the usual stakes, garlic, crucifixes, etc. Just kept bouncing back. I think Beckinsale would have had her hands full with him.

Having just read the book (I have not seen the film yet but assume that everything is relatively the same) I am actually thinking Edward would probably win. Hear me out:

1.) He is as strong, if not stronger, than all the other vampires mentioned.

2.) He can survive in sunlight.

3.) He can only die from being ripped apart and burned.

4.) He doesn't have to sleep at all. Ever.

Gary Oldman would spank Pattinson until he cries.

I'd also like to mention John Carpenter's Vampires main villian Thomas Ian Griffith, who is probably one of the scariest vampires I've ever seen.

Personally I think he'd tear Pattison in half.

The hordes of Pattison fans overwhelmed us.

Snipes got beat by Beckinsale? Yeah, okay. If that guy can evade the IRS, I'm pretty sure he would woop Kate's ass. Guess I should have gotten involved earlier to stop this madness.

If the theme is vampires from films, it seems a little crazy that a guy from a movie that isn't even out yet (well, later today anyway) is going to win.

Did I miss Klaus Kinski in Werner Herzog's Nosferatu? That guy is a creep in any role!

Yes, Kinski is very creepy as Nosferatu (and in everything else I've seen).

How about Kinski's Nosferatu vs. Oldman's Dracula? That would be intense.

Honestly, I think that if there was an actual fight between Edward Cullen and Lestat, Lestat would kick Cullen's pansy ass. That's what I think. Sure, Edward looks younger and prettier, but Lestat doesn't pull any punches. Dude is brutal.

Also, I think Max Schreck would teach Keifer Sutherland a thing or two if they actually had a smackdown. Sure, he looks a little wimpy, but I think he'd probably have a few good tricks up his sleeve. Keifer would probably get a little cocky and end up making a fatal mistake.

What seems obvious is that Twilight fans have a well organized campaign. Oh well.

I think we all can agree that, regardless of the outcome, Max Schreck (Nosferatu) vs. Kiefer Sutherland (Lost Boys) was the must-see match of the week. Really, the millenium.

Pattison? Bad ass? First, he's two pretty. Lugosi was so deranged and creepy that Pattison would run out of the room crying if they ever met. Second, Pattison doesn't drink human blood! What kind of crappy vampire doesn't drink human blood!? Arrrgh! Beckinsale FTW.

SkyPilot:

If you've been paying any attention to the Vampire Cage Match this week at spout.com/vampires, you'll have noticed that Robert Pattinson of Twilight is mopping the floor with every vampire he faces.

I could understand his victory over Tom Cruise (Interview With a Vampire), but now that he's crushed Gary Oldman, I think there's something rotten in Transylvania...

The Vampire Cage Match is about finding the ultimate badass vampire, not the Vampire Most Likely to Get Laid This Week!

What do you guys think? Can Kate Beckinsale pull through? Or have the baddest vampires already been eliminated?

Vote: Pattinson vs. Beckinsale

Discuss: WTF?
