The general sentiment about this movie when it came out was that they were setting up Jessica Biel's and especially Ryan Reynolds' characters for possible stand-alone sequels, which is why they sidelined Blade for much of the movie and gave Ryan some of the funnier/memorable parts. That detracted from Blade's overall role which pretty much weakened the movie relative to the others in my opinion.
“We needed her to fire an arrow towards the camera,” director David S. Goyer said in a behind-the-scenes look of Blade Trinity. “In order to protect the crew and the camera we had everything walled with plexiglass so that everyone would be safe. And the only thing that wasn’t walled off was a little 2×2 square directly in front of the lens of the camera.” Goyer also noted how Biel was 40 feet away from the camera, as well as 50 feet in the air. However, Biel’s archery skills improved so much that she was able to directly strike the camera lens from the distance. “She hit a complete bullseye and the arrow embedded about six inches into the camera, went through the lens, and ended up destroying about a $300,000 camera,” Goyer said. th-cam.com/video/VApoQKeCcVk/w-d-xo.html "Jessica Biel destroyed a $300,000 camera by shooting it with an arrow on the set of Blade: Trinity"
Fun fact: This movie is quite literally the reason why Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool today. Someone on the set of this movie said he'd be an amazing Deadpool and Reynolds tried to have his own Deadpool movie made ever since.
I really enjoyed Dracula's portrayal in this. Just tired of his own species' shit. Also, that end line of "The thirst always wins." makes me think that he tried to resist like Blade does, and eventually lost the fight.
Lot of people hated on this one when it came out but I loved it. The music they played when Jessica found her friend dead was great. Played it again when Dracula died
Of course. Watching this movie, they made it evidently clear that weren't focused on a Blade movie, but spinoffs for Reynolds and Biel. Plus, the tone was more MCU than what I enjoyed about pre-MCU Marvel movies. Jokes and fun, fun, fun more priority than an actual Blade movie.

The movie gets a lot of hate which is fair, it’s not a perfect movie. But this movie saved my life in 2009. I was going through a divorce, drinking a lot, and lost everything. I was so depressed, was on the verge of ending my life. So I got drunk one night then Blade: Trinity was on tv. So I’m laying on the floor so drunk and completely gone. Then the scene with Ryan Reynolds came on where he’s making fun of the vampires. I’m laughing so hard. I had a sort of wake up call in all this. I kept thinking what am I doing with my life. I don’t need to live like this. I decided to change my life around and use Ryan’s personality and sarcasm to get through everything. Till this day has worked out perfectly, everything is great. Thanks to Ryan Reynolds and Blade: Trinity.
Although disliked. It's underlying themes really sell. Like drake being discusted by what his race became. And him being fascinated by blade since he's essentially what drake wanted out of his race those who can walk in the sun and a warrior, who had a sense of honor, code, respect. Not hiding in the shadows plotting (movies 1/2). Worrying about pure lines etc. (Priest in 2nd movie during the club scene wanted to kill everyone bc they weren't pure bloods) Drake is the most interesting part of this movie, imo. His last words are haunting, the thrist always wins. If the virus did work and blades the last vampire" and the serums lose less potency bc he builds up an immunity bc of his human half and how immune systems work he's gonna feed on a human. May not be tomorrow, a week or a month from now or even a year. But time adds up, for someone who can withstand the test of time. Also the scene where they find their base destroyed and biels characters crying amd blades just like "use it!" And she turns it into screams "use it!)
I do really like the idea of folks worshipping this figure for centuries only for him to rise & have moved on from what his worshippers believe. It's very "Jesus." Is there a reason why Blade can't just feed off of bad people? I know the new vamps in the second one had no control, but the ones in the first did.. they had a whole council with rules.
@@sproductionsinc 🤔 hmmmm. To the 1st part. 2nd part For blade, nyssa called him out for hating vamps so in turn he hates himself. Taking the serum surpresses that side. Far as feeding he's only when he's near death fed on the doc from the 1st one. And then when he fell into the pool. He seemed to get back to full health but idk of he got a boost, or if he feeds on full health does he get temp stat boost? But yeah fair point coulda fed on the vamps familiars but other then feeding what would it accomplish?
Now you guys should react to The Long Kiss Goodnight starring Genna Davis and Samuel L Jackson a fire duo I never knew I needed, it’s an action movie from the late 90’s and super underrated I’m baffled by how many haven’t seen it but in this case I hope you guys haven’t watched it you’d love it.
James Remar is not always a crooked cop. Along with playing a very bad version of Raiden in a Mortal Combat movie, he was also the voice of Korra's father in The Legend of Korra.
Hannibal King in the comics was a PI turned by DEACON FROST (from the first movie). He met Blade while both were hunting the vampire and made an alliance in order to together kill him, Hannibal for turning him and Blade for his mother. In the end they had an somewhat uneasy friendship\alliance as Hannibal was a GOOD vampire, not evil. Later Hannibal was cured through use of a cursed object that wiped away vampires, but ended up later being a half-vampire. This is from the wiki-"Hannibal King was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[citation needed] Working as a private detective, King was bitten and killed by Deacon Frost while on a case in London, England. Horrified to find himself one of the undead, King vowed never to consummate the curse by passing it on. He subsists on blood purchased or stolen from blood banks and consumes only corpses or animals. For the most part, eschewing his vampirism, King continues to operate as a private detective, travelling freely only by night.[volume & issue needed] King was introduced when he was seen confronting Dracula, the lord of Earth's vampires. While searching for Frost, King eventually met Blade, the vampire hunter, whose mother had been killed by Frost, and together they destroy Frost. While investigating a friend's murder by worshippers of the occult book Darkhold, King contacts Doctor Strange. Learning the book contains spells to create and destroy vampires, King goes with Strange, Blade and Frank Drake to Castle Mordo in Transylvania to retrieve it. They battle Dracula and the Darkholders and use the book to cast the Montesi Formula, which destroys Dracula and all other current vampires on Earth and prevents others from existing on the planet. While King is not destroyed, because he had never taken blood from a living human being, Strange still needed to give King a complete blood transfusion, which restores King to human form. King, Drake and Blade establish a detective agency. They eventually named it Borderline Investigations. Strange manipulates them into combating the supernatural enemies that are emerging as the Montesi Formula weakens. Later, Strange examines King and concludes King had become a "neo-vampire", a special type with the same abilities and weaknesses of any yet merely craving blood and not needing it to survive[volume & issue needed] In a climactic battle with a one-time vampire king named Varnae, King and Drake are thought to have been killed, but both survived. Blade later finds King in New Orleans, where they team to fight the resurrected Frost. Later, in a two-issue solo series in the comic book Journey Into Mystery, King sets up shop in San Francisco, where CIA Agent Tatjana Stiles enlists him to help stop a vampire plot to blackmail the Earth with biochemical weapons. Stiles becomes critically injured, and King gives in to her plea to be saved via becoming a vampire. When he learns she has become a deadly vampire CIA agent, he becomes dispirited, losing interest in his work and retreating into depression. Later, Blade's father Lucas Cross offers a way to restore vampires' souls at the cost of removing vampires' strengths. Blade is against this while King is for it, leading the two allies to fight. Blade stakes King, who appears to die, but he quickly returns, and Blade gives him a potion that stops his need to consume blood."
LETS FKING GOOOOOOO!!!! 💪😎💪 I thought for SURE that "King" was as close to getting Deadpool on the big screen as we'd ever get! Ryan was great in this! And '04 Jessica Biel was SMOKING HOT in this!! 💪🥰💪💗💗💗💗😁 Fun Fact: Jessica did ALOT of training with the bow in this (hence her upper body development) and actually broke a camera during filming because they didnt think she would be able to put a arrow right into the camera lens, through the small hole in the protectve shield they were using ... they were wrong ;) JLaw eat your fucking heart out!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Saw this in theaters, definitely say RR as “Van Wilder” in my head. But, before “Deadpool”, RR played “Green Lantern”- I thought it was good. Again, I recommend watching (not necessarily for your channel), “Blade: The Series”, which was on the former Spike Network. Gives more insight into Pure-Blood vs Turned, and the human Resistance nationally as well as globally. Also rec: “Day Breakers” staring Ethan Hawk (and a few others), showcases if Vampires openly ruled the world.
David S. Goyer wrote all 3 films. Trinity was his 2nd film as director. Blade was one of many characters who debuted The Tomb of Dracula comics, became one of his leading foes and without question, Drac would be the main villain in The original vision was post-apocalyptic with Dracula's return to power. Instead it was kept modern and added characters (Nightstalkers) from those comics. I liked how Dracula/Drake was depleased with how vampires were more loved than feared like they weren't a threat at all. The extended cut is a bit better than the theatrical version plus 2 alternate endings that were interesting. There was controversy with this one behind the scenes in terms of on-set fights, contractual and legal battles. Ryan Reynolds as Hannibal King was obviously prepping to become Deadpool (unknowingly). In 2006, Blade got his own scripted series, the first-ever from Marvel for mature audiences, pre-Netflix. It ran 1 season (13 episodes), was set in the same universe as The Blade Trilogy after the event of the 3rd film. Even if part 3 was considered the worse, David S. Goyer bounced back with creating the screenstory for The Dark Knight Trilogy and co-writing Batman Begins with Christopher Nolan.
OMG yes I actually got to try a fresh baked sesame seed baguette from a French bakery in Paris once and I adore bread and I can honestly say it was the best bread i have ever had
Tripple H did some damage during the fight scene. Ryan had some good injuries as he did all his own stunts. It was a few months after this Westley was put in jail for millions in unpaid taxes.
To answer ur question Oak so i did see this movie w friends in the theater & its actually my very first Ryan film!! I just remember thinking who is this guy? Obviously good looking & so fricken funny. My friend knew him from van wilder but i never knew of it. Didnt really watch those kind of movies back then. Maybe im the only person that didnt know him, but id like to think someone else out there was like me. I definately wanted to see more of him & so glad that prayer got answered lol. Great reaction fellas. Blade movies have always been one of my fav action series❤💞❤️
It was probably the first thing I remember seeing him in but it would have been on the TV at home or something. Loved Ryan Reynolds immediately, forever a fan.
My guess is there’s a lot of internal resistance to the rating. They gave it an R, but I’d bet there’s still a to of executives uncomfortable with it and keep wanting rewrites to curb the language or gore.
@BaddMedicine Fun Fact: Caulder (Christopher Heyerdahl) played Marcus who was one of the three heads of the Volturi in the Twilight franchise that you guys reacted to.
Definitely my least favorite they kind of took out what made the first two movies good, and added in waaaaaay to many cheesy one liners (mainly from Ryan) so it became blade plus Deadpool in my opinion this movie is basically why we didn’t get another one. 🤷🏾♀️ I mean is it still a fun watch? yes I admit super cool seeing Triple H as a vampire lol just doesn’t hit the same as the first two. Love the reaction guys happy you enjoyed it ❤ Edit: 11:25 I love they added this moment he doesn’t show a lot of emotion but the scream after losing Whistler and laying down his sword knowing this time he’s really gone is pretty heartbreaking for years that was the only parent he knew.
This movie was supposed to set up the spin-off series for Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel as the Nightstalkers. There's a bonus scene that they shot on the DVD extras of this film. I'm sure you can find it on TH-cam.
Enjoyed your reaction guys. I get it; as a vampire movie this one might lack a bit. But the addition of Ryan as comic relief might have saved this movie (you're right, he absolutely stole the movie). Was it bad? No. Was.it great? Also no. But it was a really fun watch. And it seems fitting that ryan was in one of the first MCU movies and then later i. Deadpool. For the record, one great vampire movie I think you'd like that gets overlooked is Near Dark with Lance Henriksen. Well worth a look if you're interested.
Sadly, Wesley Snipes did not enjoy working on this film. So much so, that he supposedly communicated with the director via post-it notes only and stayed in his trailer almost the entire time. Also, A LOT of his scenes were shot with his stunt man where they could get away with it.
Blooper: Blade jumps out of the window, broken glass everywhere. "I forgot my sword." Glass magically disappears. This was the worst installment in the Blade franchise.
The movie felt like a caricature of the first two, much like later Marvel movies feel like caricatures of the earlier ones i.e. Iron Man or Captain America vs Thor: Love and Thunder... Disappointing ending to a banging trilogy.
I gotta ask you guys to react to a movie called "Tombstone" with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer. Don't know if you guys have seen it akready but I have and it was phenomenal, would love to see your guys' reaction!
Well, as Meat Loaf sang, two outta three ain't bad. But yeah, I prefer to think of them as duologies, even if I do find SOME things each deeply flawed third entry does right.
I really liked it! I loved the first, was okay with the second and saw this one in the theater. I was 14 years old and Dracula... did things for me 😆 I got the dvd and kept playing some of the scenes with him just to hear his voice 😂 I also really liked the soundtrack and thought the humor was good because otherwise it would have been too full of itself. But it's very much a 00's movie with all what that entails. But compare it to other "superhero" movies at that point and it's great!
There was an alternate ending where all the vampires in the world did die. We see Ryan and Whistler are at a club and they are there hunting werewolves now.
This is my favorite Blade movie 🫣 I know my taste isn't shared with the world, but I love the characters, I love how awesome the humans in Whistlers daughters group are, I really like Dracula, he's one of my favorite depictions of him. I actually cried when they attack the hide out and we see the death there. I also think it's the funniest... But yes, I'm an uncultured swine 😂
This movie has a ton of layers... The original idea was that the vampires freeze Blade and use his blood so that vampires could walk in the daylight and they take over society.Blade is found and rescued in the future by the human resistance and he fights the Vampires.Snipes liked this idea and concept,but at the last minute,the studio went with what you saw.Snipes was pissed and threatened to quit.Also,the studio was thinking about having a spin off film with Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel.
Between Purcell's efforts (all kidding aside!) He sold it as Dracula. My thoughts, anyway. But the REAL selling point..? Was that legendary line: "Blade. Ready to die...?" 😏 "I was BORN Ready, Mutha Fuckah..!"🤬 💯! 🤣🤣🤣✌🏼🌿💨
20:00 don't know if y'all remember this little actor here from Rumble in the Bronx with Jackie Chan. He did this cameo here just like his parking garage scene in the movie with Jackie Chan.
Fun fact: In Blade: Trinity, there is a theory that La Magra was responsible for creating Drake aka. Dracula, by either turning him or through a kind of Demi-god birth but this remains unconfirmed.
I remember that there were close to no advertisements for this film, 🎥 I saw it in theaters with my family, but the only reason we knew it came out was because the title Blade Trinity was on the marquee as well as a big Cardboard Cutout of Blade in front the movie theater we were passing 😮. They watered down the story and the character in order to attempt to reach a wider audience and ended up getting neither and alienating the one they had, sound familiar? 😂 RIP 🪦 Blade Film 🎞️ Franchise ❤
I have indeed bought a giant loaf of french bread at the grocery store, but I did not put it upright in a paper bag with a bunch of greens. Nor was I attacked by vampires while walking home with it.
Jessica did get into shape for this role but we really didn't see any of her fighting due to excessive cutting and editing. And killing vampires should have been a little more challenging and behind the scene drama among Wesley and Ryan and the director ensured bad quality of the overall movie.
I was ten years old when I saw blade 1 in the movie theater, the only thing I can remember about that moment is the blood bath scene, that shit was so intense and my step dad likes to sit in the front row in front of the scene, that shit was on another level
If there's anything nice I can say about this movie, especially compared to the other 2... it really does feel more like a comic book turned to a live action movie. I didn't look at the comments but this movie had a ton of production trouble, Wes knew it was going to be bad so he was hard to work with on this movie.
I just think it's hysterical how many times you guys use the term "Red Shirts." Who would have thought Galaxy Quest would have had that much of an impact?
It's been awhile since I've watched galaxy quest, do they reference it on there? Cuz I've just always thought of it as general knowledge from star trek.
Wesley Snipes was spending most of his time in his trailer and refused to come out that's why it seems like Jessica's and Ryan's characters carried the movie. When Snipes showed up he showed up late (and sometimes high) and phoned in most of his performance and that's why his fight scenes were not as good in this movie as the other movies, he couldn't be bothered. So the director did what he could and that's why there a lot less Blade in this movie, Snipes also apparantly tried to choke the director. In an interview Snipes said that he was interested in Blade 4 but because of his behavior on Blade 3 no one wants to work with him on it and a lot of the other costars want nothing to do with a movie with Snipes in it. Plus one of the big reasons that Blade 4 didn't happen sooner Wesley Snipes ran to Canada shortly after Blade 3 came out for tax evasion. So they made the 1 season Blade series with a different actor instead.
Snipes was rightly angry because he felt the producers and directors/writer were sidelining Blade for the new sidekick characters and he wasn’t happy about this choice because he felt people go to the movie for Blade. The producers felt having younger white heroes would boost box office. So Snipes rebelled during film for this movie. Snipes was proved right because it was the worst Blade film. Snipes has never publicly spoken about the filming of this movie, but all the other cast have saying how bad Snipes was during filming with none of context, making him look bad. They basically ignore the fact that producers were planning to introduce Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel in this movie to replace Snipes in future movies because they felt white vampire killers would make money and this pissed of Wesley Snipes.
2:25 yay for Quinn dance moves again! ☺️ & still a great reaction when you saw HHH! & his best line at 28:50 😆 & Wesley Snipes is still a badass in his scenes! & even though it had some great lines, I do feel like the comedy overshadowed the story & it lost its charm of the first 2 & agree with Quinn that the dark theme & what made the earlier films so unique was missing from this film, but I'm so glad you reacted to this trilogy! I've especially enjoyed your reactions for these & will be watching them again & again! 😁
This one didn't quite hit as much as the first two films. What was your reaction to the third installment? What did we miss?

I do really like the idea of folks worshipping this figure for centuries only for him to rise & have moved on from what his worshippers believe. It's very "Jesus."
Is there a reason why Blade can't just feed off of bad people? I know the new vamps in the second one had no control, but the ones in the first did.. they had a whole council with rules.
@@sproductionsinc 🤔 hmmmm. To the 1st part.
2nd part For blade, nyssa called him out for hating vamps so in turn he hates himself. Taking the serum surpresses that side. Far as feeding he's only when he's near death fed on the doc from the 1st one. And then when he fell into the pool. He seemed to get back to full health but idk of he got a boost, or if he feeds on full health does he get temp stat boost? But yeah fair point coulda fed on the vamps familiars but other then feeding what would it accomplish?
Now you guys should react to The Long Kiss Goodnight starring Genna Davis and Samuel L Jackson a fire duo I never knew I needed, it’s an action movie from the late 90’s and super underrated I’m baffled by how many haven’t seen it but in this case I hope you guys haven’t watched it you’d love it.
Weaker than 1&2, but it's still a lot of fun.
James Remar is not always a crooked cop. Along with playing a very bad version of Raiden in a Mortal Combat movie, he was also the voice of Korra's father in The Legend of Korra.
And of course the classic the warriors
Dexter Morgan dad
Hannibal King in the comics was a PI turned by DEACON FROST (from the first movie). He met Blade while both were hunting the vampire and made an alliance in order to together kill him, Hannibal for turning him and Blade for his mother. In the end they had an somewhat uneasy friendship\alliance as Hannibal was a GOOD vampire, not evil. Later Hannibal was cured through use of a cursed object that wiped away vampires, but ended up later being a half-vampire.
This is from the wiki-"Hannibal King was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[citation needed] Working as a private detective, King was bitten and killed by Deacon Frost while on a case in London, England. Horrified to find himself one of the undead, King vowed never to consummate the curse by passing it on. He subsists on blood purchased or stolen from blood banks and consumes only corpses or animals. For the most part, eschewing his vampirism, King continues to operate as a private detective, travelling freely only by night.[volume & issue needed]
King was introduced when he was seen confronting Dracula, the lord of Earth's vampires. While searching for Frost, King eventually met Blade, the vampire hunter, whose mother had been killed by Frost, and together they destroy Frost.
While investigating a friend's murder by worshippers of the occult book Darkhold, King contacts Doctor Strange. Learning the book contains spells to create and destroy vampires, King goes with Strange, Blade and Frank Drake to Castle Mordo in Transylvania to retrieve it. They battle Dracula and the Darkholders and use the book to cast the Montesi Formula, which destroys Dracula and all other current vampires on Earth and prevents others from existing on the planet. While King is not destroyed, because he had never taken blood from a living human being, Strange still needed to give King a complete blood transfusion, which restores King to human form. King, Drake and Blade establish a detective agency. They eventually named it Borderline Investigations. Strange manipulates them into combating the supernatural enemies that are emerging as the Montesi Formula weakens. Later, Strange examines King and concludes King had become a "neo-vampire", a special type with the same abilities and weaknesses of any yet merely craving blood and not needing it to survive[volume & issue needed] In a climactic battle with a one-time vampire king named Varnae, King and Drake are thought to have been killed, but both survived. Blade later finds King in New Orleans, where they team to fight the resurrected Frost. Later, in a two-issue solo series in the comic book Journey Into Mystery, King sets up shop in San Francisco, where CIA Agent Tatjana Stiles enlists him to help stop a vampire plot to blackmail the Earth with biochemical weapons. Stiles becomes critically injured, and King gives in to her plea to be saved via becoming a vampire. When he learns she has become a deadly vampire CIA agent, he becomes dispirited, losing interest in his work and retreating into depression.
Later, Blade's father Lucas Cross offers a way to restore vampires' souls at the cost of removing vampires' strengths. Blade is against this while King is for it, leading the two allies to fight. Blade stakes King, who appears to die, but he quickly returns, and Blade gives him a potion that stops his need to consume blood."
Triple H had a cool death scene. Sometimes thats better, especially when Ryan was getting wrecked by him. A strong death if you will.
LETS FKING GOOOOOOO!!!! 💪😎💪
I thought for SURE that "King" was as close to getting Deadpool on the big screen as we'd ever get! Ryan was great in this!
And '04 Jessica Biel was SMOKING HOT in this!! 💪🥰💪💗💗💗💗😁
Fun Fact: Jessica did ALOT of training with the bow in this (hence her upper body development) and actually broke a camera during filming because they didnt think she would be able to put a arrow right into the camera lens, through the small hole in the protectve shield they were using ... they were wrong ;) JLaw eat your fucking heart out!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Biel and Reynolds were fun to watch. Best thing about this film was Ryan discovering Deadpool in between filming.
Saw this in theaters, definitely say RR as “Van Wilder” in my head.
But, before “Deadpool”, RR played “Green Lantern”- I thought it was good.
Again, I recommend watching (not necessarily for your channel), “Blade: The Series”, which was on the former Spike Network. Gives more insight into Pure-Blood vs Turned, and the human Resistance nationally as well as globally.
Also rec: “Day Breakers” staring Ethan Hawk (and a few others), showcases if Vampires openly ruled the world.
Cant stop laughing cause that kick count board looks like it says something completely different
Right??!?! When he held it up, I was like WTF
I very clearly say the word KICK multiple times. My handwriting just sucks! -Oak
I knew I was reading it wrong as soon as I saw it 😂
"That guy is in a lot of stuff" freakin love Christopher Heyerdahl he's awesome
I remember an after credit scene or am I wrong?
I believe there was a bonus scene with werewolves on the dvd
“Daybreakers” is a great vampire movie.
Ethan Hawke has an amazing performance.
Deadpool should have one line where he mentions fighting vampires with a bad ass black dude once and make it official canon.
Maybe they can do a cameo for him if the blade movie ever comes out!
i’m a simple man. i see jessica biel in the title, i click
The first time I saw this movie my first thought was "Ryan Renolds should play Deadpool." 😂
Also, you guys messed up by not watching the extended version.
When I was a kid I thought Triple H and Sean Bean was the same person. 😅
Lmfao when I read this I thought it said said Sean Astin and was very confused. Sean bean makes way more sense. 😂
David S. Goyer wrote all 3 films.
Trinity was his 2nd film as director.
Blade was one of many characters who debuted The Tomb of Dracula comics, became one of his leading foes and without question, Drac would be the main villain in
The original vision was post-apocalyptic with Dracula's return to power.
Instead it was kept modern and added characters (Nightstalkers) from those comics.
I liked how Dracula/Drake was depleased with how vampires were more loved than feared like they weren't a threat at all.
The extended cut is a bit better than the theatrical version plus 2 alternate endings that were interesting.
There was controversy with this one behind the scenes in terms of on-set fights, contractual and legal battles.
Ryan Reynolds as Hannibal King was obviously prepping to become Deadpool (unknowingly).
In 2006, Blade got his own scripted series, the first-ever from Marvel for mature audiences, pre-Netflix.
It ran 1 season (13 episodes), was set in the same universe as The Blade Trilogy after the event of the 3rd film.
Even if part 3 was considered the worse, David S. Goyer bounced back with creating the screenstory for The Dark Knight Trilogy and co-writing Batman Begins with Christopher Nolan.
This Dracula is Marvel Dracula, he’s fought the avengers and the X-men 😂
Ngl, a fresh baked French baguette is pretty damn good lol
OMG yes I actually got to try a fresh baked sesame seed baguette from a French bakery in Paris once and I adore bread and I can honestly say it was the best bread i have ever had
Tripple H did some damage during the fight scene. Ryan had some good injuries as he did all his own stunts.
It was a few months after this Westley was put in jail for millions in unpaid taxes.
Parker Posey was also in Best In Show 😂
Major respect for y'all to finish off the trilogy.
She was extra sexy in this one
Loved her in Scream 3.
@@marcusmcgill4423 She was cool in a rom-com with Michael Sheen, Laws of Attraction, as well.
Party Girl is claaaassic!
AHh, the film that was fueled by cocaine! Patton Oswalt has the best stories about this
Pretty much every Hollywood movie production is fueled by cocaine. It's like coffee for them
Still Ryan is hilarious in this
To answer ur question Oak so i did see this movie w friends in the theater & its actually my very first Ryan film!! I just remember thinking who is this guy? Obviously good looking & so fricken funny. My friend knew him from van wilder but i never knew of it. Didnt really watch those kind of movies back then. Maybe im the only person that didnt know him, but id like to think someone else out there was like me. I definately wanted to see more of him & so glad that prayer got answered lol. Great reaction fellas. Blade movies have always been one of my fav action series❤💞❤️
It was probably the first thing I remember seeing him in but it would have been on the TV at home or something. Loved Ryan Reynolds immediately, forever a fan.
The fact the new Blade movie keeps haveing issues just saddens me. :(
Probably the fight coordination since they know the comparisons to Snipe's Blade is unavoidable.
Snipes himself indirectly roasted it lmao.
My guess is there’s a lot of internal resistance to the rating. They gave it an R, but I’d bet there’s still a to of executives uncomfortable with it and keep wanting rewrites to curb the language or gore.
Welsey chocked out the director during the making of this movie. 😆
I can see why lol
30 days of night is a good movie, or you guys should watch Doom 2005 movie.
For as much fun as this movie is, it gets a lot of hate.
@BaddMedicine Fun Fact: Caulder (Christopher Heyerdahl) played Marcus who was one of the three heads of the Volturi in the Twilight franchise that you guys reacted to.
Definitely my least favorite they kind of took out what made the first two movies good, and added in waaaaaay to many cheesy one liners (mainly from Ryan) so it became blade plus Deadpool in my opinion this movie is basically why we didn’t get another one. 🤷🏾♀️ I mean is it still a fun watch? yes I admit super cool seeing Triple H as a vampire lol just doesn’t hit the same as the first two. Love the reaction guys happy you enjoyed it ❤
Edit: 11:25 I love they added this moment he doesn’t show a lot of emotion but the scream after losing Whistler and laying down his sword knowing this time he’s really gone is pretty heartbreaking for years that was the only parent he knew.
I like 2-1-3 as vampire movies. This ones just pure comedy gold tho and a lot of fun to watch.
This movie was supposed to set up the spin-off series for Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel as the Nightstalkers. There's a bonus scene that they shot on the DVD extras of this film. I'm sure you can find it on TH-cam.
Enjoyed your reaction guys. I get it; as a vampire movie this one might lack a bit. But the addition of Ryan as comic relief might have saved this movie (you're right, he absolutely stole the movie).
Was it bad? No. Was.it great? Also no. But it was a really fun watch. And it seems fitting that ryan was in one of the first MCU movies and then later i. Deadpool.
For the record, one great vampire movie I think you'd like that gets overlooked is Near Dark with Lance Henriksen. Well worth a look if you're interested.
I could be wrong, but i believe there was a deleted scene or an after credit where they wanted to introduce werewolves.
Sadly, Wesley Snipes did not enjoy working on this film. So much so, that he supposedly communicated with the director via post-it notes only and stayed in his trailer almost the entire time. Also, A LOT of his scenes were shot with his stunt man where they could get away with it.
Blooper: Blade jumps out of the window, broken glass everywhere. "I forgot my sword." Glass magically disappears.
This was the worst installment in the Blade franchise.
Loved the kick counter, Oak 😂❤
Saw all 3 of these in theaters. Not perfect, but so so loved!
The movie felt like a caricature of the first two, much like later Marvel movies feel like caricatures of the earlier ones i.e. Iron Man or Captain America vs Thor: Love and Thunder...
Disappointing ending to a banging trilogy.
My guilty pleasure is liking Blade III 😃
I gotta ask you guys to react to a movie called "Tombstone" with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer. Don't know if you guys have seen it akready but I have and it was phenomenal, would love to see your guys' reaction!
Wesley Snipes was not happy with this movie at all. He didn’t like that he didn’t get much screen time, that Ryan Reynolds made a lot of jokes, etc.
It's good that you guys enjoyed this movie. A lot of people didn't. Chris Christopherson and Wesley snipes have both disowned this one.
This and the Sam Raimi Spiderman movies had a chance to be great trilogies
Well, as Meat Loaf sang, two outta three ain't bad. But yeah, I prefer to think of them as duologies, even if I do find SOME things each deeply flawed third entry does right.
I really liked it! I loved the first, was okay with the second and saw this one in the theater. I was 14 years old and Dracula... did things for me 😆 I got the dvd and kept playing some of the scenes with him just to hear his voice 😂
I also really liked the soundtrack and thought the humor was good because otherwise it would have been too full of itself. But it's very much a 00's movie with all what that entails. But compare it to other "superhero" movies at that point and it's great!
There was an alternate ending where all the vampires in the world did die. We see Ryan and Whistler are at a club and they are there hunting werewolves now.
This is my favorite Blade movie 🫣 I know my taste isn't shared with the world, but I love the characters, I love how awesome the humans in Whistlers daughters group are, I really like Dracula, he's one of my favorite depictions of him. I actually cried when they attack the hide out and we see the death there. I also think it's the funniest... But yes, I'm an uncultured swine 😂
This movie has a ton of layers... The original idea was that the vampires freeze Blade and use his blood so that vampires could walk in the daylight and they take over society.Blade is found and rescued in the future by the human resistance and he fights the Vampires.Snipes liked this idea and concept,but at the last minute,the studio went with what you saw.Snipes was pissed and threatened to quit.Also,the studio was thinking about having a spin off film with Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel.
Between Purcell's efforts (all kidding aside!) He sold it as Dracula. My thoughts, anyway.
But the REAL selling point..? Was that legendary line: "Blade. Ready to die...?" 😏
"I was BORN Ready, Mutha Fuckah..!"🤬
💯!
🤣🤣🤣✌🏼🌿💨

According to Wikipedia, Buell stopped making motorcycles in October of 2009 and went back into production in February of 2021.
Was waiting for this one to see your reaction to Triple H lol
20:00 don't know if y'all remember this little actor here from Rumble in the Bronx with Jackie Chan. He did this cameo here just like his parking garage scene in the movie with Jackie Chan.
Fun fact:
In Blade: Trinity, there is a theory that La Magra was responsible for creating Drake aka. Dracula, by either turning him or through a kind of Demi-god birth but this remains unconfirmed.
Even Bill Murray knows being big in Sumerian is not good.
Judas committed suicide by hanging himself on that tree and the branch broke and he became the undead.
@couch.patati-patata That's the movie Dracula: 2000.
The origin of his in that movie is really an incredible twist.
I remember that there were close to no advertisements for this film, 🎥 I saw it in theaters with my family, but the only reason we knew it came out was because the title Blade Trinity was on the marquee as well as a big Cardboard Cutout of Blade in front the movie theater we were passing 😮. They watered down the story and the character in order to attempt to reach a wider audience and ended up getting neither and alienating the one they had, sound familiar? 😂 RIP 🪦 Blade Film 🎞️ Franchise ❤
I have no idea why but them counting the kicks was just hilarious.
Need to watch “ Queen of the damned” and “ Daybreakers”
omg u guys are having so much fun i love it XD that intro shot of blade was AMAZING
I have indeed bought a giant loaf of french bread at the grocery store, but I did not put it upright in a paper bag with a bunch of greens. Nor was I attacked by vampires while walking home with it.
Unpopular opinion, I love this movie. Blade Trinity is my favourite out of the three blade movies.
did you notice the guy Caulder..... he's a vampire in the twilight series. he plays one of the Voltare.
If the first two Blade movies didn't exist, this would be fucking awesome..
Y'all need to watch Queen of the Damned that movie is sooo good.
Oh man the soundtrack for that is the fucking best! Would love if they watched it!
Poor James Remar has been typecast since he was in "The Warriors". You guys should check out Innocent Blood, don't miss Don Rickles as a vampire.
'Blade: Trinity', 'The Trexas Chainsaw Massacre' (2003) and the first season of 'The Sinner' are my favourite Jessica Biel performances.☺
I fucking love this movie, it's what made me fall in love with Ryan Reynolds
Blade 3 was awesome 😎
Dope movie. The first Blade and Trinity are my faves.
Jessica did get into shape for this role but we really didn't see any of her fighting due to excessive cutting and editing. And killing vampires should have been a little more challenging and behind the scene drama among Wesley and Ryan and the director ensured bad quality of the overall movie.
Yeah Wesley was a total ass especially to Ryan Reynolds man was horrible to him what an ass
If you haven’t considered it. The Lost Boys is a very good vampire film, if not the best made please give it a thought
I was ten years old when I saw blade 1 in the movie theater, the only thing I can remember about that moment is the blood bath scene, that shit was so intense and my step dad likes to sit in the front row in front of the scene, that shit was on another level
This movie is definitely a little goofy but I casay I hate it this movie is pretty enjoyable
If there's anything nice I can say about this movie, especially compared to the other 2... it really does feel more like a comic book turned to a live action movie. I didn't look at the comments but this movie had a ton of production trouble, Wes knew it was going to be bad so he was hard to work with on this movie.
I just think it's hysterical how many times you guys use the term "Red Shirts." Who would have thought Galaxy Quest would have had that much of an impact?
It's been awhile since I've watched galaxy quest, do they reference it on there? Cuz I've just always thought of it as general knowledge from star trek.
Wesley Snipes was spending most of his time in his trailer and refused to come out that's why it seems like Jessica's and Ryan's characters carried the movie. When Snipes showed up he showed up late (and sometimes high) and phoned in most of his performance and that's why his fight scenes were not as good in this movie as the other movies, he couldn't be bothered. So the director did what he could and that's why there a lot less Blade in this movie, Snipes also apparantly tried to choke the director. In an interview Snipes said that he was interested in Blade 4 but because of his behavior on Blade 3 no one wants to work with him on it and a lot of the other costars want nothing to do with a movie with Snipes in it. Plus one of the big reasons that Blade 4 didn't happen sooner Wesley Snipes ran to Canada shortly after Blade 3 came out for tax evasion. So they made the 1 season Blade series with a different actor instead.
Snipes was rightly angry because he felt the producers and directors/writer were sidelining Blade for the new sidekick characters and he wasn’t happy about this choice because he felt people go to the movie for Blade. The producers felt having younger white heroes would boost box office. So Snipes rebelled during film for this movie. Snipes was proved right because it was the worst Blade film.
Snipes has never publicly spoken about the filming of this movie, but all the other cast have saying how bad Snipes was during filming with none of context, making him look bad. They basically ignore the fact that producers were planning to introduce Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel in this movie to replace Snipes in future movies because they felt white vampire killers would make money and this pissed of Wesley Snipes.
After your comment about the cop I realized that if you guys haven’t seen the show Dexter… you need to react to that.
2:25 yay for Quinn dance moves again! ☺️ & still a great reaction when you saw HHH! & his best line at 28:50 😆 & Wesley Snipes is still a badass in his scenes! & even though it had some great lines, I do feel like the comedy overshadowed the story & it lost its charm of the first 2 & agree with Quinn that the dark theme & what made the earlier films so unique was missing from this film, but I'm so glad you reacted to this trilogy! I've especially enjoyed your reactions for these & will be watching them again & again! 😁
