Vampire Hunter D movies. Not enough monsters in the second?

 Did I write this before? The forst movie had tons of varied monsters… a dinosaur type thing, werewolves, and the Raistlin-tower like gross things. The humanlike mutants… the guy that warps spacetime, the flying batguy with spikes on wrists n heels.  Snake ladies.  


Second movie, Bloodlust, is great but felt like it had less... let's list some:

vampires, zombie-vamps(?), giant manta rays (see Demonsouls), … maybe the small dragon things on the poles (dead?) 1/4 way through. The shadow mutant(?).  A fishman, snake ladies.  Wait, a ton of monsters (or just mutant ppl?) entering the Barbarois (sounds like 'barberroy', a little French twist there) castle… https://vampirehunterd.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?scope=internal&navigationSearch=true&query=barbarois

Later on bridge, the werewolfish guy with xray vision and giant maw on torso.  

BTW, Dunpeal is a poor way to spell it, since it is a translation from eastern Europe, Dhampir.  See wikiped, tons of info. Like they often hunt vamps. Very close to vamp hunter D and Blade.  I suppose the fans wanted the Japanese pronunciation for some reason. 


BTW, 1985 D's hand was cooler looking

1985's trio of fairly monstery guys. Love the tongue bridge-present thing. And yeah that green guy definitely was the inspiration for Gen-An in the Samurai Shodown the arcade game, right? 

1985's monsters entering the castle... much grosser but definitely more monster than human. Was Raistlin's tower guardian monsters and spirits an influence on this or vice versa (I've asked this before)? 


Raistlin's gross monsters in his tower, in Dragonlance. 


Bloodlust's monsters (more monster than human is what I'm looking for mostly, and they seem to have a lot of very humanoid monsters. Still pretty good.). 


Oh, and this fellow's music list has some good ones to try out, btw ran into his site before:
