Dracula III Legacy is a horror film, directed by Patrick Lussier and stars Jason Scott Lee, Stephen Billington and Diane Neal. It is the sequel to Dracula II Ascension. It was released direct-to-video in 2005.
The role of Dracula was once again played by a different actor, although this time there was no explicit reference to his face changing due to "regeneration" as in the previous film. This leaves it unclear as to whether Rutger Hauer is portraying the same "incarnation" as Stephen Billington or a new one; the listing of his character as "Dracula III" would seem to suggest the latter.
years after the events of Ascension, Father Uffizi and Luke (Jason London) discover that Dracula (Rutger Hauer) has returned with Elizabeth to his castle in the Carpathian Mountains.

Plot
Five years after the events of Ascension, Father Uffizi and Luke (Jason London) discover that Dracula (Rutger Hauer) has returned with Elizabeth to his castle in the Carpathian Mountains. However, learning that Uffizi has become a vampire, Cardinal Siqueros (Roy Scheider) refuses to give Uffizi his blessing for the mission. Uffizi defrocks himself and sets out with Luke to Bucharest. Romania has been devastated by a civil war, and NATO peacekeepers line the streets. In an abandoned village, Uffizi and Luke find a crashed helicopter containing a news reporter, Julia, and her cameraman. The cameraman is turned by the vampire clowns terrorising the village, but all are destroyed by Uffizi and Luke. They leave Julia but are soon lured into a rebel trap. They find Julia (Alexandra Wescourt) with the rebels, refusing to return to England with nothing but a story on vampires. The undead attack the rebel base during the night, but Uffizi, Luke and Julia survive, proceeding to Dracula's castle. There they find Elizabeth, almost totally turned to Dracula's way of life. Dracula mortally wounds Julia and tells Uffizi that only through God's forgiveness can he truly die, but Uffizi engages the ancient vampire in a duel and ultimately destroys him by first biting him and draining him of his blood, then beheading him, announcing that he should consider himself forgiven. Meanwhile, Luke, on her request, beheads Elizabeth. Luke leaves the castle, while Uffizi sits on Dracula's throne, Julia apparently revived. The film ends with the implication that Uffizi, who has missed the morning purge of his vampiric curse, has become the new vampire lord, and the text:
