....but his fight scenes were heavily cut out. Years ago, I listened to the Wesley commentary and he half-jokingly apologized that Donnie’s fight scenes were edited out.
I will forever stand by the notion that Luke Goss is grossly underrated as an action-based, dramatic actor. His chops as Nomak were great but his role as the elf prince in Hellboy II is nothing short of classic. He needs to be brought into the MCU or DC or John Wick universes. Something. He deserves more than his B movie status.
Totally agree with you. When I saw him in Hellboy II I was like "who is this guy???" for the ones versed on real D&D, I always thought that him would have been the perfect Drizzt Do'Urden, in a real D&D movie or show.
he seems to work best under some makeup or prosthetic... although the movie wasn't all that, he made a cool and accurate creature from an adaptation of _frankenstien,_ as well
Criminally underappreciated. It's a Marvel superhero movie made by Guillermo Del Toro with Ip Man and Hellboy in it and it's every bit as cool as that sounds like it should be. It's like a gift to fandom that far too much of fandom doesn't know about.
I was in film school when this came out and believe me, the movies that came out in the early 2000’s that changed everything were, The Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious. Movie theaters were begging people to not try the stunts at home. I still see people today trying to drift and crashing.
"You obviously... do not know... who you are FUCKING WITH!!" I would love to be able to say that to someone or a group of people with that level of conviction.
The "nipple head" insult directed at Ron Pearlman's character was in reference to a) the fact that he is bald coupled with b) the fact that he had the explosive device attached to his previously mentioned bald head. His head looks like a fun bag with a large areola...
He was also the vampire in the first Blade that has the sword's "security system" blend his forearm off. "I got his pig sticker!" That guy. I don't think that's supposed to Chupa. He just happened to be in both of them..
This is a badass Sequel from visionary filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro. Originally, Morbius was going to be the main villain in the film, but it was changed to the Reapers instead. The fight scenes are CGI which is impressive, as people complain that the fight scenes look like a video game.
On this rewatch, I didn't mind the CGI fight scenes. It allowed them to meet their vision for the fight scenes. On the other hand, it really made the middle part of the movie stand out in a bad way, especially the sewer sequence. It made the Bloodpack seem like seem like normal humans, instead of these elite trained superhuman vampires that can leap several feet in the area and cling to walls, and know martial arts. All they did was walk/run around and shoot.
You guys crack me up. I love how Nomak told Whistler "Damaskinos" and you two heard "mosquitos", and then go on a thought train about how mosquitos spread vampirism. Ya'll are hilarious! 🤣🤣
I find it kind of amusing how Blade II features Ron Perlman, Luke Goss and Karel Roden. Ron would become Guillermo's Hellboy and Karel would play his first antagonist Rasputin. Then, Luke would appear in Hellboy II as the antagonist Nuada.
I may never fully recover from Roxy's "they all look like Eliza Dushku" comment... Seriously, it's gonna be like five years from now & I'm gonna randomly think about that comment & I'm gonna start laughing again. Absolute perfection in six words.
Everything leveled up. Costumes, sets, camera, creatures, *ACTION* I remember when the *trailer* came out being able to tell that just from that minute and half of footage that it was a better movie than the first one.
The 1st movie had more bloody gore, the 2nd had a lot more action and the 3rd one added a bit more humor. All good in thier own right, but the 2nd still had the best story.
As I sit and watch this on the day of his passing, it's impossible not to tear up everytime Whistler is on screen. RIP Kris Kristofferson, you meant more to me with your portrayal of this father figure character than you could ever understand, and I hope the bar in Heaven has plenty of Jack Daniels in stock for ya
@@dillonoickle5841 the strain started really great, but the father and son family drama was completely out of place. it was annoying to watch. then again if you endure that you have a great show.
Fun Fact: in one of the early drafts, there was actually supposed to be a full on romance between Blade and Nyssa. Elements of that storyline definitely stayed in the final draft, but they left most on the cutting room floor.
Is it bad I like they cut it I mean obviously it’s there they like each other but idk I always liked they never clouded the main points of the movie with a love story in it
Blade gets bashed and thrown into all sorts of unyielding surfaces, but his shades always stay on. Blade Shades! Your reactions are great and so funny. John’s range of horrified expressions stands on its own. Roxy’s comments are pure gold. I know it was done to keep from being blocked for excessive gore, but I am grateful that the worst grossnesses were blurred out. I love the “no Reapers were harmed in the production of this movie.” Pure Del Toro humor there, very funny. Wesley Snipes, the quintessential Blade. He does it all, very believable, can’t look away. And as a bonus, we get the rest of the great cast.
Blade is hands down my favorite marvel character and it’s sad that he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, but it’s dope in the comics morbius I believe actually makes him a day walker and gives him the ability’s he’s known for which is crazy
One of my favourite action/super hero movie ever, to this day. Wesley Snipes was perfect in this role, the cast was sooooo underrated, and although the story is a bit "lazy", love the execution and the terror of those mutants monsters chasing vampires. The effects aged a little, but It still surprisingly holds up given its age. I'm glad you guys added this piece to your cinema culture :D
Roxy saying everyone looks like Eliza Dushku then mentioning the Buffy villain brought a smile to my face. Either she's a Buffy fan or just an Eliza fan. Either way I love Roxy!
Deleted scenes of Blade and Nyssa , it's touchy feely. I think it was originally written for them to be more of a couple. That's why their chemistry in the film is in the gray in between getting close but no lips touching except on the risk which was sexy.
Hell yeah!!! I found the 1st season so engaging, with its desperation and panic with the spread of the “virus” but idk why but it lost me in the somewhere in the final seasons of it…can’t put my finger on it..The 1st season or 2 was a great set up and really made me like Corey Stoll a lot more than his ant man character.
@@anthonydean1743 yeah, it's Tony Curran. He was the hybrid aside from Michael in the Underworld 2 movie. He also played Vicent van Gogh in Doctor Who.
@@anonymousgirl4605 I think my two favorite movies I always remember him from are The 13th Warrior with Antonio Banderas, and as the invisible man The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
The look on Roxy's face when Donnie skewered that one of them then, after he ripped his lower half off to get away, turned to John to ask how he was doing XD
16:50 - WHEN WILL I BE FAMOUS? - Jared Nomak is portrayed by Luke Goss. He also portrayed Prince Nuada Silverlance in Hellboy II: The Golden Army, which also starred Ron Perlman, again directed by Guillermo Del Toro. Before film acting, Luke was a member of the British pop band 'Bros', with his identical twin brother Matt.
LETS GOOOO!!!!! Yes the greatest sequel I ever seen!!! Thank y’all for watching!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤ By the way , all the real fans know Blade , X- Men ( fox studios) , and Spider-Man ( Sony) saved the marvel franchise and brought us what is marvel studios today following the start of iron man !
I remember seeing ang lees Hulk as a kid and not realizing it sucked, cuz, i was a kid, and it was the friggin Hulk and so cool So imo that also was a part of that era, good or bad
@Freddie MAC i still enjoy that movie, the CGI just wasnt the best and it was very Moody but man were those Hulk Dogs cool and the action and stuff was a lot of fun with the quick cuts and panels and stuff.
The actor playing Priest is Tony Curran a fantastic character actor who was in 3 eps of SoA which is where you might know him from but he was also outstanding as one of the main characters of the surprisingly good (especially since it was tied to a live MMO at the time and the game could influence the show) Defiance on Syfy
Blade 2 is definitely my fave of the series, but coming back to this now, I can see a lot of elements that Del Toro carried over to his vampire series The Strain (another great show). The vampire design is nothing short of awesome and terrifying. This does mostly stand up even today.
Yay! Loved this one as much as the first. ❤😊 Edit: John's face when he sees the full extent of how nasty the reapers are, is pure GOLD. Exactly how I felt as a teen when I first watched this 😂 Props and design were ON POINT for this instalment! 😅
Wesley Snipes always did the character Blade Justice. I haven't seen this movie in years glad that you two liked it. I saw all three, and the third one isn't that bad, as people say. It is humor in it with Ryan Renalds and Jessica Beil. I like that one, too.
That guy who played Priest was also a vampire in Underworld Evolution, he played Marcus but has a shit ton of prosthetics so he was harder for me to recognize.
The "nipple head" diss from Whistler is because Perlman's character had a bald head with the small bomb device blade put there so it looked like a nipple so his head was basically a talking boob with shades.
This is why I really don't want them to remake Blade for the new MCU. If they can't rise to the level of Blade 1 and 2, then why even bother? And I think I remember hearing Wesley got a pretty bad knee injury doing one of the fight scenes and they had to shut the production down for a while. Anyway, great review and can't wait to see whether or not you guys like all the changes that occur in Blade 3. --- All these years and I never realized this...Blade 1 ends in Russia and when he rescues Whistler, he says he began looking for him him in Moscow.-- -
There is actually a comic issue where Morbius has something to do with why Blade is a day Walker. There was a rumor years ago that they were going to do that after blade trinity before Wesley Snipes got in trouble and the studios dropped him
Idk what tags you guys put on this video but my GOD this is by far the video that is most recommended to me or is in queue to be next up regardless of what type of video was just playing 😂
This is my favorite of the trilogy. Honestly one of my favorite vampire movies really. This was one of the first roles I ever saw Norman Reedus in (instant fan). I wish I still had the soundtrack- it was just one hit after another. I seriously wore that CD out 😊
Vampires in this world don't want to take over....they've already taken over. In fact it was stated in the first movie that they have lived this way for thousands of years, just under the radar, into every aspect of human existence, and in some way having a symbiotic balance to it all.
The Irish vampire guy, Priest, played Van Gough in Dr Who, Despero in Flash, and Finn in Daredevil,and Bor in Thor. So he’s played in three Marvel properties, at least, as well as many other roles.
'Nomak' was played by one half of late 80's Twin British Pop sensation BROS, Luke Goss! (Biggest hit was: 'When Will I Be Famous') One of the most surprising character Actors to enter the Sci-Fi sphere. Absolutely phenomenal screen presence and charisma. Great reaction and after discussion you two! 💖💖
Fun fact Roxy...the drug scene with the blood not that crazy. Blood meal has been used for plant fertilizer using dried animal blood. And recently universities have been studying drying human blood to store it for longer.
the man who plays the "bad guy" in this is the same in hellboy 2. dudes a martial arts master. Both movies he's likable. makes you care. makes a good movie.

Shit I remembered Ron Perlman was in this but I totally forgot Donnie Yen, your reactions were perfect!
Are you guys going to react to IP Man 4.?
Pan’s labyrinth is his peak
Little known fact is that donny yen is the fight choreographer for the movie
he's also in the movie...
This is an amazing fact.
He was one of the choreographers.
....but his fight scenes were heavily cut out. Years ago, I listened to the Wesley commentary and he half-jokingly apologized that Donnie’s fight scenes were edited out.
Actually Wesley's friend and Martial Artist Jeff Ward was the fight choreographer for this film and the 1st one
I will forever stand by the notion that Luke Goss is grossly underrated as an action-based, dramatic actor. His chops as Nomak were great but his role as the elf prince in Hellboy II is nothing short of classic. He needs to be brought into the MCU or DC or John Wick universes. Something.

Agreed. Luke Goss is super underrated. Nomak and Prince Nuada were awesome villains.

What I came to say. They missed it.
that's crazy i always thought he called him a "nibble head" yk bc vampires bite😅
Chupa was the guy in the first Fast and Furious who fought Paul walker’s character for liking Dom’s sister.
He was also the vampire in the first Blade that has the sword's "security system" blend his forearm off. "I got his pig sticker!" That guy. I don't think that's supposed to Chupa. He just happened to be in both of them..
You know what they say. You gotta watch yo, watch yo back
In The First Transporter aswell

Wesley Snipes Blade movies is easily the most badass superhero franchise and it's not even close.
The first two!
The first two, yes. But that third one sucks so bad.

@@roxystriar not at all very spot on and worth mentioning. Love your observations in the your videos by the way
Same! 😂 I just kept thinking 5 By 5 the rest of the reaction.
this is why snipes is the only true blade. He acts, speaks and moves like blade. one of marvel's perfect castings.
I like this movie more than the first one, since the enemies are more intimidating and terrifying
Everything leveled up. Costumes, sets, camera, creatures, *ACTION* I remember when the *trailer* came out being able to tell that just from that minute and half of footage that it was a better movie than the first one.

Me too. This was the first I had ever heard of him.
Guillermo Del Toro kicked ass with this movie. I love it so much.
he did and then if you ever see the strain the vamps in that as he worked on it have the same vibe as these.

Even Donnie Yen's character had a longer fight scene that was cut.
Is it bad I like they cut it I mean obviously it’s there they like each other but idk I always liked they never clouded the main points of the movie with a love story in it
This is a great sequel. And number 3 is worth it as well.
An odd trilogy with different tones, but somehow it all hits well.
Gotta love it.
Trinity is worth it for Dominic Purcell devouring the scenery and clearly having the time of his life being a giant ham of a character.
the only thing wrong with the third one is learning afterward that snipes hated his costars and the feeling was mutual.
3 is my fav bc of the characters
3 sucks,1 and 2 were great back 2 back action, 3 was just a pile of shit
John's Blade redemption arc in these reaction videos is the real winner here.

Wesley Snipes, the quintessential Blade. He does it all, very believable, can’t look away. And as a bonus, we get the rest of the great cast.
Definitely my favorite non Disney Marvel movie. I hope the new Blade will take heavy notes from this film.
And be R rated, like the Sonyverse should be with Venom, Carnage, etc....
Blade is hands down my favorite marvel character and it’s sad that he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, but it’s dope in the comics morbius I believe actually makes him a day walker and gives him the ability’s he’s known for which is crazy
The animation is wonkey but good enough for its time, the transition from cg to real is flawless and ahead of its time by a decade.
One of the rare sequels that’s just as good as the first one.🧛🏻🌕
Possibly better depending on my mood🤣
Definitely better
God i still love the sound FX for Blade's gun, so crisp.
Fun fact: Blade 2 is the first movie I ever saw in the theater alone. The second was the Dark Knight.
I haven't been to the theater alone since.

Guillermo del Toro should direct the MCU Blade too!
It already has a director.
He won’t
@@728GT 😢
Even better Guillermo Del Toro should direct MCU Blade Trilogy 🍿💯
Deleted scenes of Blade and Nyssa , it's touchy feely. I think it was originally written for them to be more of a couple. That's why their chemistry in the film is in the gray in between getting close but no lips touching except on the risk which was sexy.
You guy's should watch Guillermo Del Toro's The Strain if you haven't its a pretty good vampire show
Hell yeah!!! I found the 1st season so engaging, with its desperation and panic with the spread of the “virus” but idk why but it lost me in the somewhere in the final seasons of it…can’t put my finger on it..The 1st season or 2 was a great set up and really made me like Corey Stoll a lot more than his ant man character.
This movie introduced me to Donnie Yen and I have loved his work since then.
The rave scene is hands down one of my favorite movie scenes ever!!!! The sound, the production and the cinematography are all just so top tier

Fun fact: The main villain is Luke Goss. He used to be in an 80s pop duo called Bros, with his twin brother Matt.
Yep and he's also been in another Deltoro film which was Hellboy two.
Blade 2 is definitely my fave of the series, but coming back to this now, I can see a lot of elements that Del Toro carried over to his vampire series The Strain (another great show). The vampire design is nothing short of awesome and terrifying. This does mostly stand up even today.
I'm really loving all of these older movies, and the reactions are AWESOME!!!

Thirst away girl I get it. 🤣

Yay! Loved this one as much as the first. ❤😊
Edit: John's face when he sees the full extent of how nasty the reapers are, is pure GOLD. Exactly how I felt as a teen when I first watched this 😂
Props and design were ON POINT for this instalment! 😅
@ 19:02 for the time-stamp squad
Del Toro used a similar style vampire in his TV show the Strain.
The actor playing Nomak also fought Ron Perlman in Hellboy II The Golden Army, he played Prince Nuada
Yeah Mike Migniola (sp?) was the author behind the Hellboy comics. He teamed up/gave del Torro the blessing to do the two original Hellbpy movies.
Wesley Snipes always did the character Blade Justice. I haven't seen this movie in years glad that you two liked it. I saw all three, and the third one isn't that bad, as people say. It is humor in it with Ryan Renalds and Jessica Beil. I like that one, too.
I normally don't sit through these first time viewings, but you two have absolutely hilarious responses.
That guy who played Priest was also a vampire in Underworld Evolution, he played Marcus but has a shit ton of prosthetics so he was harder for me to recognize.
I think I've said this before but I really like this reaction duo.
Thank you ❤
I still got that movie poster, thinking of framing it
Great Reaction John and Roxy, Guillermo Del Toro did a great job with this sequel!👍
The "nipple head" diss from Whistler is because Perlman's character had a bald head with the small bomb device blade put there so it looked like a nipple so his head was basically a talking boob with shades.
Aye first ten minutes. Enjoying watching this trilogy with u both.
The main bad guy vampire is the same lead elf and hellboy too
One of the best comic book movies ever.
This movie is so perfectly gory - it really warms my heart. 😂
Great video. Surprised me to see yall review this film. I loved blade. 1 and 2 are great. The 3rd isnt bad either really.

That Mos Def jam! Whoooooo straight 🔥 🔥🔥🔥, it’s like an anime, I mean what Mr Mos is describing in the lyrics of that jam man.
The power duo is back! As always, I love you both.
There is actually a comic issue where Morbius has something to do with why Blade is a day Walker. There was a rumor years ago that they were going to do that after blade trinity before Wesley Snipes got in trouble and the studios dropped him
There is a deleted post-credit scene for Blade 1 where he sees Morbius.
The Reapers are obviously a prototype of the vampires in The Strain, also a Del Toro masterpiece.
This movie was the Aliens to Blade 1's Alien. Took it up a huge notch and introduced tons of great characters (none of whom survive).
Nomak was played by Luke Goss, a martial artist. He was in 2 Death Race movies, the second Hellboy and a lot of low budget movies. He is cool.
Roxy is talking about the Hush episode of Buffy. The minion vamps look like the minions in that Buffy episode.
Amazing episode
Glad you guys continued watching the trilogy, my favorite of the three the blood pack was so awesome
The rap at thw end of this makes this alonale a 10 REVIEW!!

Idk what tags you guys put on this video but my GOD this is by far the video that is most recommended to me or is in queue to be next up regardless of what type of video was just playing 😂
This is my favorite of the trilogy. Honestly one of my favorite vampire movies really. This was one of the first roles I ever saw Norman Reedus in (instant fan). I wish I still had the soundtrack- it was just one hit after another. I seriously wore that CD out 😊
Vampires in this world don't want to take over....they've already taken over. In fact it was stated in the first movie that they have lived this way for thousands of years, just under the radar, into every aspect of human existence, and in some way having a symbiotic balance to it all.
The Irish vampire guy, Priest, played Van Gough in Dr Who, Despero in Flash, and Finn in Daredevil,and Bor in Thor. So he’s played in three Marvel properties, at least, as well as many other roles.
Also, he played the original vampire in the Underworld universe as well.
@@bethanychatman9531 yup. A very underrated actor.
Can't wait to see their reaction to the third lol
Lol thats a straight up comedy. Whether it was intentional or not
When they walk up to the club and Massive Attack is playing. I think that’s the coolest 15 seconds in cinema.
Awesome reaction, guys 😊 well done ✅!!
SUCH a banging soundtrack, I bought the CD and practically wore out my CD player playing it.
'Nomak' was played by one half of late 80's Twin British Pop sensation BROS, Luke Goss! (Biggest hit was: 'When Will I Be Famous') One of the most surprising character Actors to enter the Sci-Fi sphere. Absolutely phenomenal screen presence and charisma.
Great reaction and after discussion you two! 💖💖
Those are some big shoes to fill for the new blade movie. Idk if Disney could do it. Guess we will wait and see
It’s not a Roxie and John commentary without Roxie’s to go tea 😂 you should get a special mug made 🍵
Fun fact Roxy...the drug scene with the blood not that crazy. Blood meal has been used for plant fertilizer using dried animal blood. And recently universities have been studying drying human blood to store it for longer.
The Alien / Aliens is a great comparison for the first two Blade films. Love them both, but the second just tops it for me.
the man who plays the "bad guy" in this is the same in hellboy 2. dudes a martial arts master. Both movies he's likable. makes you care. makes a good movie.
I forgot baby Daryl Dixon is in this!
