Wesley Snipes really was the perfect choice for Blade. He had the look, voice, physique, vibe and was a martial artist badass. He fit the role perfectly.
They tried to give him a TV series, but it was pretty bad. Wesley Snipes is key to this character, he probably is the only man alive right now that can play him well.
Yeah I know. But Marvel TV and with a good show runner would make a great Blade TV Series. I think they could find someone who can play Blade but no one would be better than Wesley.
Not only that, his blade movie saved the studios from bankruptcy and proved that super hero movies could be successful...Damn!! Wesley is the man...already miss him in movies...he should return as blade...
Yeah he was good but he really messed up with Blade Trinity, watching it as an adult, u can tell Wesley Snipes wasn't putting his heart into the role and from the stories I heard about the filming, it definitely shows
Ah man this was awesome. Blade never gets any recognition for being one of the first successful marvel movies even if it was a stand alone series. I would love to see a Wolverine video. I’m sure as long as he’s been alive he’s picked up a lot of different styles.
Not only that,Blade was the first successful Marvel movie,with a black character,long before that overrated Black Pussycat and he was also the first successful Rated-R,Marvel movie,long before Deadpool or Logan! According to Stan Lee(RIP),Blade's success at the box office,pretty much kickstarted that whole comicmovie-trend we have today.When the Hollywood studios saw how much money,a movie with a character,that isn't well known,makes,if you do it right,they started to finance all these superhero flicks.
ThaKenMan it's too bad wolverine was never portrayed correctly. Hugh jackman clearly has no martial art background so at best he comes off as a brawler not the top 10 Marvel hand to hand fighter his character is supposed to be. When the blue chick beat him in the first film they lost me.
Y'all know he's coming back, introducing him to the MCU it's gonna be a big changer for characters in the MCU like black panther can not beat blade #facts
Finally someone recognizes Blade! He is my favourite comic book character still to this day. Best movie I ever saw in the theatre as I had no expectations going in, and it just blew me away. The first scene is one of the best ever. Would love to see a Netflix show, but would be difficult because Wesley Snipes is Blade.
Wesley Snipes will always be Blade, and he’s still a badass to this day. :). As a martial artist, this brings a smile to my face. I’ve been waiting for this list for a long time. Anticipation has paid off here.
I couldn't agree more my friend and that black moves I'm acting with the longest name in the Hollywood I just really can't get a hard-on it just ain't happening I mean but unfortunately the fans of the new blade movie are all excited and they are 100% supportive of the new blade movie whatever it's going to be PG-13 give me a f****** break
Thank you! I still consider Blade the best fighter. And that's because that really is Wesley Snipes doing his own fights. He doesn't have another guy switch in to do the challenging martial arts stuff. He does it himself. Although MCU Cap and DCEU Batman are awesome, Chris Evans and Ben Affleck have their stunt double do a lot of, if not all, of the choreography when it comes to the challenging martial arts stuff (kicks, somersaults, throws, etc)
Those fights in blade 2 might still hold up as the best hand to hand scenes in all of comic book movies. The level of expertise from Snipes just jumps off the screen.
@@joshjones9749 I really enjoyed them as well! My personal favorite fight in the series is his final one against Frost's henchman in the first film. I made a whole video about it too! th-cam.com/video/7gCxm23e81k/w-d-xo.html
His a very talented man, my Grandmother told he grew up with my uncle and use to tapdance. I look up to him as an Actor and most of all as a Martial artist. I still remember when he had that Martial Arts TV event on TNT because of Blade.
As a fellow practitioner, so happy to see Aikido and Shotokan Karate recognized in the Blade trilogy! Great video as always! My next few suggestions, Iron Fist and Elektra from the Netflix MCU
Shotokan is an excellent art! Awesome man. I do plan on doing at least one other MCU Netflix character. Probably once the dusts settles and we find out who's coming back and who isn't
The awesome thing about Blades characters is that Wesley Snipes is a legitimate martial artist. Blades fighting styles are the actual actors martial arts abilities. So all you gotta do is look up the arts Snipes holds Dan ranks in and there you go.
A great video , when I always seen Wesley fight it was like "name that fight Style". And you were perfectly correct all styles that you mentioned were utilize to its fullest.
Your knowledge in martial arts is incredible... you’ve gain a subscriber! Please Analyzed the martial arts for the movies: The Accountant or John Wick.
You know, i'm immodest enough to feel a little proud every time i listen to your disclaimer about crossover in fighting styles, and how you will attribute a move to the style that best represents it. It reminds me of a discussion we had under a video of yours, maybe an year ago (of course, i couldn't have been the only one, but still...) about reverse punches for karate and roundhouse kicks for taekwondo. This also speaks volumes of you as a youtuber and a person, for listening to suggestions from fans and improving the content as such. Kudos
I remember that discussion too man! Thanks for commenting and for being respectful. I've actually come across several people in the comments who refuse to acknowledge that Taekwondo came from Karate. Very odd.
Hopefully it’ll be the punisher next. He’s my favourite comic book character along side deathstroke. But hey, blade is one badass and I’m one happy man. Good work brother. Love that you do these videos :)
You were trained by the fight coordinator for Iron Fist season 2? Wow. Major respect for you, man! Also, another great video. I haven’t seen any of the Blade movies before, but I’m interested now that I know the breadth of Wesley Snipes’ martial arts knowledge. Thanks!
I'm glad you caught the pro wrestling brain buster and I totally missed the capoeira kick he did to Frost but I thought that Blade's Katana would get its own specific fighting style for swordsmanship instead of getting lumped in with wushu. Either way kudos and thanks for this.
Might there be some evidence of ninjutsu? Or at least some stealth tactics at the very least? One scene in particular comes to mind from the first Blade film where Blade soundlessly jumps down behind that black woman (I forget her name) before she turns around.
I've been watching all your videos but I just haven't had any real input haha but yeah, I guess Blade hasn't shown much of any ninja skills in the movies at least...
So you could say that aikido and silat have the opposite philosophy from one another Also it was cool to see a little bit more explanation of wushu, pretty cool video in general
As a guy who's a martial arts lover & enthusiast I really like your fighting styles videos. I often watch ones you've done before over & over lol. Also can you do a fighting styles video on Ryan McCarthy(the antagonist from the 2008 MMA movie never back down)?
Whenever you have the time for it, I would like to see one for Nightwing (basing it on his animated appearances) and one for the PS4 Spider-man. Thanks and keep up the awesome work.
I also wanted to add that wesley snipes himself says he also uses kempo & boxing in blade's fighting style too. The first scene with blade/the hallway fight in blade 2, wesley says in the commentary that he uses some of those moves too.
You could take a look at Star Wars characters. Starkiller from the force Unleashed uses kendo and hand to hand techniques that look like judo( head locks neck breaks throws and even what looks like a variation on the sacrifice throw.) the clone in force Unleashed two uses a lot Of wushu.
Let's not forget Brandon Lee and The Crow. A movie that set the bar for R rated violence with noir, comic book style action that looked and felt like you were reading the comic.
Went to college with Wesley back in the 80's (SUNY Purchase) On campus he studied Capoiera with Greg Troy and Shotokan with Marcus Del Gato. I remember he was pretty gifted then.
@@Godzillarex He was one of the first people I met on my first day on campus. My RA noticing that I had an interest in capoeira told me that there was someone on campus that teaches it and pointed me in the direction of Wesley who attended the class. Wesley was a very cool guy.
Great video Adrian. I saw Blade and Blade 2 for the first time this year and they were good. Wesley Snipes is perfect in the role and the action scenes are great. But there are mediocre aspects of them and some things particularly the CGI that are extremely dated. I'm not watching Blade: Trinity though.
+Godzillarex Good quality video man, If your looking for a Character to analyze, I'd reccomend Asura from the Asura's Wrath video game. Might be something there, might not. Thanks for the content.
Wesley Snipes really was the perfect choice for Blade. He had the look, voice, physique, vibe and was a martial artist badass. He fit the role perfectly.
Hey I appreciate you recognizing blade as the kickstarter to the MCU a lot of people forget that was the first Marvel movie that ever went big
Indeed it was!
Are we really going to ignore Howard the Duck?
@@johncrafton8319 ......yes
@@johncrafton8319 I said went big not a complete flop
You kidding me I snuck back in the theater twice just to watch it again
man, soon as i saw this in my feed, I threw my hands up and squeeled like a school boy! Blade is my favorite supernatural comic charecter ever!
Very cool! He's one of my favorites as well
Blade is awesome, he needs an MCU TV series as good as Daredevil.

Stan Lee himself quoted the film in a magazine long ago, just before it came out as saying "We finally have a winner".
Wesley snipes as blade was a perfect character for marvel and no one can replace his awesomeness for this one.. nice video

I think that's the problem. Wesley Snipes is Blade. Like, I can't imagine someone else in the role.
You were trained by Clayton Barber? That is sick.
Yep! In my fighting styles video I'll upload a picture I have with him at a Taekwondo tournament.
Godzillarex cool. I loved his work on Black Panther and Iron Fist Season 2.
You never disappoint me
Thanks!

That push kick montage is epic though! It’ll come to mind every time I see a push kick in film from now on.
Another great video! When it comes to analyzing how people fight I've never seen anyone do it as detailed as you do. Now that takes real talent.👏

Excellent video man, I always look forward to learning more about fighting styles from your content.
I'd love to see a Bullseye video.
And finally, he did it. The Blade's "How many fighting styles" video. How long I was expecting it!!
I know, I know. If you check the comments in the beginning a lot of them are from years ago haha

Thanks for watching! Share it if you get the chance, it really helps me out!
So, when does Ethan Hunt appear on this series?
The BlazinKen ikr
Ethan Hunt only knows one fighting style - running in a weird manner.
But let's be honest, he does sprint like a champ
Hopefully it’ll be the punisher next. He’s my favourite comic book character along side deathstroke. But hey, blade is one badass and I’m one happy man. Good work brother. Love that you do these videos :)
Spot on Great Vid man! was always curious about Snipes martial arts background, thank you! :)
Thanks for watching! Share it if you get the chance. And a tip for you, check back this Saturday for a video I think you'll enjoy!
Hitman fighting still would be awesome!!!!
Don't know how I found your channel but man am I glad I did. Great video and I've also subscribed
Welcome to the channel!
@@GodzillarexThanks 💯
This was a beautiful video you made ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! Glad you liked it. He's the reason I re entered my journey into martial arts again so I wanted to do this character justice.
@@Godzillarex keep up da good work 👏 🙌 👍
could you do a video on connor from assassins creed?
Marco Pohl Let me take care of that
Boxing
Silat
Wrestling
Escrima/Kali/Arnis
I second that
That would be fucking awesome. Almost any of the assassins would be an interesting subject.
I’d be up for that. I recently did a cosplay of Ezio
Loved the video. Blade 2 was my favorite movie until I was 18. Still in my top five
Takes a damn good eye. Salute.

Hahaha I hope so
John Wick?
Redhood?
Ethan hunt?
Anakin Skywalker?
Arno Dorian?
Do fighting style videos on these guys.
Stay tuned! One of those guys premieres next week!
@@Godzillarex YESS THX I BET ITS JOHN WICK
Do Elektra from Netflix’s Daredevil.
I'm waiting for How many fight styles Robin does in Titans TV show
YES !
I'm sure he's waiting for Titans to finish first or at least season 1
Hav'nt seen that one, is it on Netflix?
@@KentPetersonmoney Not yet and only outside the US
The first season needs to be done before he can fully analyze Robin's fighting style.
Ben poindexter from daredevil season 3 would be fun. If he doesn’t get a bullseye suit next season I’m gonna be furious.
That's if Netflix don't can it 😒
My condolences...
@@xth3k0wxh1ms3lfx yeah, I saw it coming 😔

Blade II is one of my favorite films of all time. Until high school it was my favorite film growing up.
It's an amazing film! Just like the first one
Frank Castle from the "The Punisher" Netflix show!
Awesome Video as always!!
Also Blade Was The 1st R-Rated Superhero Film
Snipes' karate expertise shows with how good he is at the fight chorography. Not many actors can pull it off so naturally.
And with so much style. He's in his own category there.
Please make a full push kick extended version meme
Blade is super underrated he is one of my favorite marvel characters.
Lovin the content bro
very therapeutic nicely done.
Very dope video!! You have a new subscriber and follower
Welcome to the channel! I highly recommend you check out my Solid Snake video
Might there be some evidence of ninjutsu? Or at least some stealth tactics at the very least? One scene in particular comes to mind from the first Blade film where Blade soundlessly jumps down behind that black woman (I forget her name) before she turns around.
I haven't seen you around these parts in quite some time! Not according to my analysis, no. He is very silent when he wants to be though.
I've been watching all your videos but I just haven't had any real input haha but yeah, I guess Blade hasn't shown much of any ninja skills in the movies at least...
The fact that he ends fights quickly with lightning precision is ninja like.
I think that has more to do with him being half vampire than him knowing ninjitsu.
The blade movies are so damn fun. Even the third in some parts.
Im very pleased to see this. Keep up the good work sir
Awesome! Thanks man
Do a video on the kingsman (eggsy, galahad, and maybe the guys from statesman to.)
Very impressive video, and informative
So you could say that aikido and silat have the opposite philosophy from one another
Also it was cool to see a little bit more explanation of wushu, pretty cool video in general
bro love your videos can you do a video on takiya genji or any other fighters from crow zero pls!!
Awesome breakdown!! Great work!!
Thank you! What's your profile pic by the way?
@@Godzillarex A pic from Casshern Sins.
Very cool design
Impressive, will be checking out your other videos...

“Blade” the first in the trilogy, is my absolute favorite movie of all time.
Excellent choice man. That movie is amazing.

Thanks man! Did you see the sequel to that film? It was AMAZING. Michael Jai White is so damn talented.
@@Godzillarex welcome :) and yeah I seen it and true. He is talented and is very skilled in martial arts
Been waiting for this one. Awesome analysis. You should maybe look at doing some more villains or the Michael Keaton version of Batman.
Very fascinating video as always. I woud love to see you tackle Kratos as a subject
Appreciate it man! He's on the list
@@Godzillarex Don't mention it. Looking forward to it!
I love Blade! 😱😍
Subscribed! please analyse the fighting style of the protagonist in taken, the equalizer, resident evil characters Chris and Leon. Thanks!
Wesley Snipes is a black belt in a couple of arts it’s cool he mixed it up in these movies.
This was another good video the next character you could do is Black Lightning, Electra, John Wick and Colleen wing from Iron Fist
Whenever you have the time for it, I would like to see one for Nightwing (basing it on his animated appearances) and one for the PS4 Spider-man. Thanks and keep up the awesome work.
Thanks man! I do plan on analyzing PS4 Spider-Man at some point in the future! I am planning on doing a version of Nightwing as well.
I also wanted to add that wesley snipes himself says he also uses kempo & boxing in blade's fighting style too. The first scene with blade/the hallway fight in blade 2, wesley says in the commentary that he uses some of those moves too.
Wesley, as the months went on, started adding fighting styles to increase the hype of the film.
God, they always get us with the push kick.
Wow... 11? Here I am studying 2 (Sanda Wushu/Sanshou, and Catch Wrestling) yet my man Blade knows 11?! 🤯
Blade Was More Action/Thriller But I Feel Like Blade 2 Was More Action/Horror Based
I love how Blade is always armed to the teeth 0:56
Awesome vid! And personally I l would love to see a "How many fighting styles" video on John Wick
Thank you! He's on the list!
What a great video
You could take a look at Star Wars characters. Starkiller from the force Unleashed uses kendo and hand to hand techniques that look like judo( head locks neck breaks throws and even what looks like a variation on the sacrifice throw.) the clone in force Unleashed two uses a lot Of wushu.
But my question is, how many fighting styles does Ash Williams from Evil Dead know?
Good, Bad.... He's the one with the gun!
Let's not forget Brandon Lee and The Crow. A movie that set the bar for R rated violence with noir, comic book style action that looked and felt like you were reading the comic.
Sadly, that movie is remembered more than anything for the unfortunate accident that cost Brandon his life.
Went to college with Wesley back in the 80's (SUNY Purchase) On campus he studied Capoiera with Greg Troy and Shotokan with Marcus Del Gato.
I remember he was pretty gifted then.
Awesome! Very cool to know and confirm his knowledge in the art with someone who actually knew him.

Nah, being serious, good job Godzilla, always excited to see your videos
Great video Adrian. I saw Blade and Blade 2 for the first time this year and they were good. Wesley Snipes is perfect in the role and the action scenes are great. But there are mediocre aspects of them and some things particularly the CGI that are extremely dated. I'm not watching Blade: Trinity though.
+Godzillarex Good quality video man, If your looking for a Character to analyze, I'd reccomend Asura from the Asura's Wrath video game. Might be something there, might not. Thanks for the content.
Loved these movies and fight scenes. Wished many of the other marvel and dc movies would do fights like these.
You need an actual martial artist to do this though. Wesley Snipes is the real deal.
Thanks Adrian, that 10 months was worth the wait lol
Welcome man!
Whistler was one hell of a teacher
Good breakdown
So many details I didn't know, excellent video, Wesley Snipes as, BLADE was legendary.........
Thanks man! You should see my Blade vs Daredevil video
