Wesley Snipes is also memorable in "The Art Of War," "Demolition Man," "Drop Zone," "The Marksman," Passenger 57," "U.S. Martials," "White Men Can't Jump," and many others.
In terms of popularity, "New Jack City," "Jungle Fever," "Major League," and "Coming to America 2" were more memorable than half of the movies you listed.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I know you didn't say your list was the _"most memorable"_ I just would've mentioned one or more of those before the likes of the marksman, dz, aow.
@@lareh5501 like 80% of his list is more popular than yours lol, I have seen Art of War, Demolition Man, Passenger 57, US Martials, and White Men Can't Jump. Of your list I have only seen New Jack City and Major League while I literally forgot Coming To America 2(yet another unnecessary sequel) even existed.
I love him in everything he has ever been in!
Yelp and many more films
@@susanconstable2113 You loved him in prison?
j/k 😂
With atrocious marvel movies during the 90's, the lid was about to be shut off on Marvel adaptations when this movie came out.
It's the success of Blade that permitted the filming of X-Men and the Sam Raimi Spiderman.
And of course, it's the success of these two franchises that opened the door to what today is known as The Marvel Universe.
I doubt very much that Blade would have been such a success if someone else than Westley Snipes did the role, he was just perfect in it.
He's as much Blade as Hugh Jackman is Wolverine.
So it's not a stretch to say that without Westley Snipes, there would be no Marvel Universe today.
Stephen Dorff should have played Wolverine, not Hugh jackman.
@@thaistomp but the point still remains that he didn’t, so to many Hugh is synonymous with Logan atp
marvel/disney messed up when they decided against bringing back wesley snipes to play blade in the mcu. he is absolute perfection in this role.
marvel/disney are a bad mess period.
U don't know that yet didn't they get an Oscar winning actor to play blase dude from green book and Alita give him a chance
Love Snipes and favorite super hero actor but he is 60 years old. I am personally tired of the Expendable old fart action stars refusing to retire. So personally I am glad we get to keep Blade in his prime without tarnishing image for more money.
because you obsessed nostalgic bait loving idiots cant get over your own ego to fucking learn to let go to older actors and iconic roles. If its not for you, thats okay, but let people enjoy new stuff, so they got to expierence their own version of what you expirienced with wesley snipes.
The man is in his late 50s
I probably watched this movie 50 times as a kid. Still love it
Blade can take out vampires. The IRS took out Blade. That’s how high on the hierarchy of power the IRS is.
Hahaha. That’s some funny ish. If you think about though even some of the biggest mobsters were taken down by tax evasion instead of murder. You do not mess with the IRS, they get their cut every time. Lol.
You win the internet for today. Congratulations!
Yes because unlike vampires, the IRS can get blood from stone....
Blade still chillin; and now there's two of them. 🤷🏾
@@StreetHierarchy Uncle Sam took the bag. Might as well have spent that time smoking reefer and shooting pool.
Wesley Snipes is great in this series. I would also recommend his performance in Demolition Man. He plays a wonderfully psychotic villain in that movie
My favorite movie of all time until Braveheart
@Dayofthedream yes, Blade 2 & 3 pretty good, too.
Demolition Man is frighteningly accurate to current culture today.
i like wesley snipes in that film with the parachutes/criminals/hot girl film....
Demolition Man is such a brilliant film, and so under-reacted to - had it on VHS recorded from the TV when I was a kid!
Kristofferson is more than a country singer. He is an aclaimed actor, songwriter, Army helicopter pilot, and before that a Rhodes Scholar who studied at Merton College in Oxford.
Wow. I didn't know that. Bit of an over-achiever.
If you have not seen Wesley Snipes much you should watch : New Jack City, Demolition Man, Passenger 57, White Men Can't Jump, Sugar Hill, Money Train. U.S. Marshals etc. So many awesome movies. One of the greats for sure.
I bought my first DVD player in 1999. Blade and The Matrix were among the first few I bought. Total classic.
Not counting p0rn I assume?😂
This is the best Marvel movie hands down. Wesley and Stephen Dorff were both epic. Dope reaction man.
Best stand alone movie, maybe. Infinity War/Endgame is/are much better, but they'd be nothing without the movies that preceded them.
@@menotyou8369 Dude said infinity War 😂🤣🥴
@@menotyou8369 Sorry, but those movies are actually BAD ... for a simple reason:
*_In a FRANCHISE where you want to CONTINUALLY PRODUCE MOVIES ... making a movie with "ultimate threat level" (the universe) is BAD, because anything after that is EITHER going to be "stale" OR it will be "ridiculous"._*
Just look at Multiverse of Madness and the stupid Quantummania movies ... completely ridiculous.
If it weren’t for Blade, and a year later the X-Men, we wouldn’t have the MCU today. And the alternate ending (when it shows them on the rooftop), Blade sees a figure dressed in black with a motorcycle helmet on, and this figure was supposed to be Morbius the Living Vampire.
The dark sarcasm in the blade movies is some of my favorite. ❤😂
Now you can understand the hype and perhaps "backlash" if you could call it that at the announcement of a rebooted Blade with actor Mahershala Ali in the lead. Not that he's a poor actor, which he's quite the contrary, but Weasley Snipes IS Blade. Seeing anyone else portray the Daywalker is genuinely a difficult task even with a very solid script.
And since they brilliantly retconned Blade's origin story and made him a half-vampire who still ages like a human Wesley could've easily stepped right back into the role.
I haven't seen much backlash from the new casting tbh. But I'm sure it's there lol, we all know no one can replace Snipes but Ali is an amazing actor, loves Blade, and also training in fighting. Even Wesley approves 😀
Nah, there are tiny amounts of backlash for this! i am looking forward to the reboot and hope they do it well.
Blade is one of my favorite comic book movies of all time, a slick, atmospheric stylish masterpiece.
The sequel is ace too mate, absolutely worth watching.
Also if you like Blade check out The Crow.
Great reaction by the way dude.
Bit of trivia.. Blade is great. I like Blade part 2 also. Westley Snipes got in big trouble by not paying his income taxes with the Internal Revenue Service from the income he made from the Blade movies. Wesley Snipes is HILARIOUS in as a drag queen in the movie Too Wong Foo"He kicks butt as a drag queen as well. LOL
The 90's was Wesley Snipe's heyday. He was part of some great movie making. Of course you have Jungle Fever, New Jack City, White Men Can't Jump. But one of my favorite movies he did was the Art of War. Pretty decent action in that one.
“Some Motherf’rs are always trying to skate uphill.”
I still don’t know what that means but I love it!😂👍
Simple: some ppl think they can do what no one else can. Ie: they are the exception.
This takes me way back, Wesley was incredible and for me the entire movie is a banger. Appreciate the review.
Blade backwards is Edalb. That has nothing to do with anything but this is a great movie! 😭
Thanks for reacting for this, I love Blade. Hope you do the The next one
Not a fan of vampire or Marvel movies but these never get old. Wes snipes is a national treasure
Snipes is so underrated
@@kabirconsiders I’m wouldn’t say that fam. People love Wesley but that shit he got into with irs really kind’ve put a stain on his career. People so childish , they really held onto that situation to the point that’s all people wanna bring up besides the blade movies or the countless movies he’s made that were bangers.
This is how you do a vampire movie. Not that twilight trash.
Unfortunately, New Hollywood refuses to give him a reprieve. Jerks!
I agree with all what you said about Blade and the MCU-Movies, it's always satisfying to hear such wise words from a young generation of movie-fans. When you're ready with the franchise and want to see more movies of Wesley Snipes, I recommend "New Jack City" (1991), what's my personal favorite of him.
Can't wait until you see the other 2 movies
I was so hype when this movie came out a long time ago, Blade always been my favorite Marvel character ever since the Spider-Man animated cartoon. Yes this movie was the foundation for the future Marvel movies but it really surprised me a lot of people do not know who Blade is and saying that Black panther (RIP Chadwick Boseman) was the first black superhero movie I'm like no have you ever watching Blade he's the fucking ultimate badass. So it makes happy to see a lot of people actually watching Wesley Snipes version of BLADE
Bruh, when Blade got rid of his vampire mom and you said weeeh, fck off and threw up the middle finger I nearly choked on my food laughing. Good one, well done
The CGI is dated, but without this movie there is no MCU we see today
MCU is goofy ash.
Also the DC since one of it's creator is also part the "Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy".
I disagree, CGI from the 90’s and 2000’s have aged well and I like them better than what is typically used today.
@@lankthedank6931 I remember back then they used practical effects too.
I bet you haven't watched Brandon Lee from "The Crow" of 1994 which is not Marvel or DC and some people watch it during Halloween.
fax@@lankthedank6931
Saw this at theatre when it came out. Loved it. The theatre was excited as hell during that rave scene
Spawn (1997) ..an excellent movie you'll love the story and special effects
Definitely check out the sequel. The third is mixed in opinions but I like it still great blade moments
I still have the comic that the theater gave out on opening night. My old girlfriend still has hers also. You got one comic for each ticket purchased. It was a good movie back in the day.
And yeah, the CGI was kind of funky, especially at the end. This movie was made right at the point where CGI was just starting to get good enough so that directors and producers felt like they could use it in big budget action flicks, but often got over ambitious with it. At that particular moment, it was good enough for audiences who hadn't see that kind of thing before, but it aged poorly. No doubt if it had been done with today's tech, it would have looked spectacular.
The first marvel movie was Howard the Duck from the 80’s made by George Lucas nobody ever reacts to it. It’s one of my childhood favorites
Yes Howard was the first
The blonde vampire at the beginning, who brought the victim to the vampire rave, was played by Traci Lords. She's best known for making an entirely different type of movies.
I just googled her - wow I wasn’t expecting that 😅
This movie holds my personal record for number of times seen in the cinema! I managed to watch it 14 times before it stopped showing, following it around various cinemas, some up to 2hrs away! I loved it! I bought the soundtrack straight out of my first viewing!
It was so awesome seeing you love this! I had similar reactions! A big thumbs up, Kabir! You should make time for the sequels. Even I will admit they get a little corny, no where as serious as this one (the second is directed by del Toro), but still enjoyable for many more badass Blade moments!
Of the three Blade movies, I think my favorite is the second one, and I can't imagine anyone else but Wesley Snipes in the role. Freakin' nailed it. Naturally, he drives a wicked Charger. Chris Kristofferson, actor, singer/songwriter. Interesting pair, but it works. Can't wait for you to see Blade II.
Gotta say i like this better than the other Marvel's. Blade 2 and 3 were good also.
Demolition Man was a great early Snipes film, with Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock.
Technically the first real Marvel film is 1986's: 'Howard the Duck', due to His cameo in 2014's: 'Guardians of the Galaxy', as a living exhibit in the Collector's museum on Knowhere. But ol' Howie has been going strong in motion media since 1940, making the lil' sassy feathered Hero the most important first foundation of the MCU!
Blade is the first (un)Human MCU Superhero committed to screen. He's the whole basement and initial bricks and mortar with added putty and premium-grade grout.
Who would have thought a cute little Duck and a Daywalker would be the catalysts to the greatest Comic Book Cinematic Universe, ever?
Ironman sure has strange stepparents... 😅💖
Thanks for watching and sharing your reaction to this. I agree with your criticism of recent Marvel movies.
Snipea actually studies martial arts, Capoeira if im not mistaken. And he is very fast, so fast they had to ask him to slow down his kicks because the camera couldnt catch them.
“Needing Humans” the third Blade movie shows how the vampires prepare for a limited blood supply. The movie staring Ethan Hawke “Daybreakers” shows what happens when vampires run out of humans. But the scariest vampire I’ve ever seen, was in the movie “Vamp” staring the formidable Grace Jones.
"Vamp" is really underrated, but I think "30 Days of Night" had the scariest vampires.
Matrix makers def. took Blade`s look and the bullet time that was shown when Blade met Frost in the park. Blade was first:)

Love the way that in the modern comics Blades outfit matches his movie one , all armour and padding , sometimes the movies if done right can influence the comics rather than the other way round .Another good example is after the first X Men movie the comic characters started wearing lots of black leather for a while .
You have to see the second one. Both are excellent and hold up. Marvel must make the new Blade Rated-R, or forget it.
This was my favorite childhood movie growing up. I remember my dad taking me to theaters to see this and became my favorite movie for next decade.
Thank you for this! Needed it!
Actually Conan the Barbarian was the first Marvel movie and still the best!!!
I agree with you.
This is easily one of my favorite Marvel movies.
Even if they make a remake, I don't think it will surpass this one.
Also, Wesley Snipes made Blade be such a cool and badass character.
I remember when Blade came out, we all wanted to be like Blade.
Great movie.
I'm not exaggerating when I say Blade was one of the formative films of my teenage years - it's filmed so well and it's so visually striking with the matte black and the liquid red of the blood - fantastic film
Wesley Snipes is so iconic in this role that people forgot that Blade in the comics was British.
Marvel is working on a reboot formally placing Blade in the MCU. He’s being played by Mahershala Ali. Some of his supporting characters were introduced in Werewolf By Night. I hope they can make an adaptation as good as this one.
Does he wear this outfit walking around in the daytime?
Me: Welcome to the 90s!
Yeah all that style is coming back though 😎
If you'd be interested in other vampire franchises, the Underworld series with Kate Beckinsale would be a good one to check out if you haven't seen them yet. It had 5 movies in it:
Underworld (2003)
Underworld: Evolution (2006)
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009) (which was a prequel that went back to the Middle Ages)
Underworld: Awakening (2012)
Underworld: Bloodwars (2016)
I really enjoy this series the most because it really dives into the vampire / werewolf (lycan) lore.
"Look at the size of it!" 🤣Thats what she said🤣
Fun fact, in the comic, blade was British. In one version of the story, he was born and raised in soho
Wesley snipes was great in the 90s, check out new jack city, blade 2, Passenger 57, demolition, and rising sun, just to name a few.
The sequel is good too. Directed by Guillermo Del Toro.
Sanaa Latham is also memorable in "Alien Versus Predator.'
Some Wesley Snipes early popular movies: New Jack City, Jungle Fever, White Men Can't Jump, etc,
Blade the Daywalker is the most dangerous swordsman in Marvel! He is a vampire hybrid goon with maximum drip!
Technically Howard the Duck is the first Marvel super hero feature movie.
This is my first time seeing your review. Excellent job! 👏🏽 Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the review.
Hopefully, you will watch Blade 2 as well. It is also very good, a lot of people even like it more than the first which is shocking for a sequel.
I love the Blade movies. The 2nd movie is my favorite. You might not care for the 3rd movie with Ryan Reynolds in it, it has a lot of his style (Ryan Reynolds) of comedy in it.😊
I always find a lot of details in this movie make it feather unique. It’s not in every story you see a Southern vampire, yet alone a black Vampire Hunter.
Definitely gotta watch the rest bro
people sometimes talk about "no black superheroes before X"
Snipes was a complete badass superhero 25 years ago. appreciate him
Blade (and the franchise) is a fun movie(s). My only complaint is that the silver weakness is a werewolf thing not a vampire thing.
I have not seen this in years. I am glad I watched it with you
i love this Trilogy , please continue reaction to
- *Blade II (2002)*
- *Blade III : Trinity (2004)*
Blade Trinity is epic 😎💯
One of my favorites! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad to see you do this movie.. wait till you see the other blades..This is the golden time of hero movies, when they followed the true comic book characters. Before they turned everything woke, back when white supreme pizzas loved Blade
White supreme pizzas? What's that?
Excellent Reaction Kabir, can't wait to see you do Blade 2 and 3 as soon as you can. Have a good day
Fun fact: Donald Logan, who played Frost's right hand man, Mr, Crispy at the hospital, dislocated his jaw shooting the burned corpse scene at the hospital. He had to go to a REAL hospital to get treated in his burnt corpse costume and makeup, and it gave the hospital staff quite a thrill! lol
*Donal Logue
You definitely need to watch the second one and the third one knowns as "Trinity". Ps Wesley Snipes had been training in martial arts since age twelve, earning a high ranking 5th dan black belt in Shotokan Karate and 2nd dan black belt in Hapkido. He has also trained as a student of Capoeira under Mestre Jelon Vieira and in a number of other disciplines including various styles of kung fu. He's an authentic martial arts specialist 😅😅😅
Snipe's shenanigans over the years aside, this movie is one of the best vampire movies ever made, and the Blade character is awesome :)
If you want to see more outrageous Snipes, watch "Demolition Man", lol.
Actually though, if getting technical, even if fans don't want it to be so, it was actually Howard the Duck which was the first Marvel movie. I still love Howard the Duck either way. Of course, I was a kid then so there is nostalgia in place. I love Blade too though.
Actually Howard the duck was before this. Howard is the duck that "The Collector " has in a cage in guardians of the galaxy.
Great popcorn flick with a great soundtrack.
Hi our favorite Brit..enjoy the show.
Thanks Linda :)
Blade is one of my favorite movies. Blade II is just as good(Some say its better, but I actually don't think so. I think the first film has a better overall story.)
It's one of those films along the way that just shows Marvel isn't nearly as spectacular as people think it is. It used to be a lot bolder. This, the Thomas Jane Punisher, the Sami Raimi Spider-Mans, are my favorite of the Marvel movies. What's amazing about that is none of them are technically part of the "MCU" well. I guess the Raimi Spider-Man's are sorta part of the MCU thanks to all the dimensional hijinks... But I just prefer their more unique tone and identity when compared to the newer stuff, which feels very "by commitee"
Blade 1 is the best, then Blade trinity, and Blade 2.
Yep. Great movie.
Great reaction, this is a must watch for any comic book superhero movie enthusiasts.
Some of my fave Wesley Snipes movies:
Blade
Demolition Man
New Jack City
White Men Can't Jump
To Wong Fu, Thanks for Everything,! Julie Newmar
Frost was the child actor in The Gate.Brad Dorff. Great movie!
This is a great Movie and a fantastic introduction to Blade ( and Blade 2 is even better , Blade 3 in trash though ) Wesley Snipes is fantastic and fits the character so well , Wesley is a fantastic martial artist so does a lot of his own stunts and fight scenes . Love the Costume his outfit , hairstyle is so great especially given that originally Blade had a big afro , big shades with a trench coat and stakes in the comic but hey it was the 70s , the Movie outfit is so much better and gives Blade a real bad ass look and vibe . Kris Kristofferson is great too and had lots of great lines , Stephen Dorff was ok as Frost felt he was not much of a threat ( The Villian in Blade 2 is way better in my opinion and is played by Luke Goss from Boyband Bros but dont let that put you off he is great ) all in all this works so well the fight scenes are great too , the Blade reboot has some big shoes to fill I just hope they make it as violent and grown up as this but we shall see .
Yes Blade 3 isn’t as good. But it does have a great scene of how vampires are preparing for having a low human blood supply. Very disturbing.
@@angelavalentino5146 Blade 3 was intended to launch a spinoff franchise with Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel character the Nightstalkers but unfortunately it made Blade a guest star in his own movie , I suppose if that had happened we may not have got Deadpool then , its easily the weakest of the trilogy .
I love the Blade movies. Outside of those, my favorite Snipes movies are Major League, Rising Sun (with Sean Connery), Demolition Man (with Stalone), White Men Can't Jump (with Woody Harrelson), and New Jack City one of his earlier films. Thanks for the great reaction : ]
Blade II.. Let's Gooooo!!!
Wesley Snipes is also really good as Shadow in the under-rated amazing classic Mo Better Blues...he and Denzel Washington.
I love the first Blade film. It's loads of fun. Way better than any of the modern MCU crap.
Snipes in DEMOLITION MAN as a villain is amazing.
He’s also in US MARSHALL. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Actually the very first Marvel superhero movie was Howard the Duck, in 1986 (Howard can be seen in the modern MCU in the post-credits of GotG2, and in a quick shot in Endgame). It's a majorly bad acid-trip of a movie, but it had Lia Thompson, so I don't mind watching it for her, lol. There was also some made-for-TV Marvel movies back in the 80s (Hulk, Captain America, and I think a Thor + Hulk movie), but I don't count those. But yeah, Blade was the first REALLY GOOD superhero flick based on a Marvel property.
UnderWorld was inspired by Blade. The main character Celine (Kate Beckinsale) plays a DeathDealer killing Werewolves...
Actually, "Sheena", in 1984, was based on a Marvel character. As was "Howard the Duck" in 1986.
Wesley us superb in every movie he is in. I love love his blade character. Kind of like Batman- an antihero. He is the good guy but yet he isn’t exactly a good guy. He plays him perfectly as he does every character he plays.
Another great Marvel movie is Punisher from 2004 which like Blade felt like a regular action movie.
Love this movie
Spawn is the first marvel comic property made into a movie, its release was a yr before blade....highly recommend spawn. Created by todd McFarland (he is also considered as one of the best spiderman artists)
Blade’s nickname is Daywalker
I still watch this series a few times a year yes I still use my bluray and dvds lol
The best Marvel movie ever
Without blade there would be no mcu. They were bout to declare bankruptcy expecting this movie to flop but it funded like their next 3 films I think
