Oops I made a boo boo, I got the actor wrong for Whistler, he was played by actor Kris Kristofferson, the article I was reading said Patrick McGoohan was another alternative actor to play the character and I got the information muddled up and it doesn’t help I am unfamiliar with both actors. Apologies, no harm or foul intended!
Yea country music isnt really a thing here, or at least not in my community. I'll use the complaints as a learning curve to do better and take any and all complaints on the chin as my just deserts for making the stuff up :)
Honestly, Wesley Snipes is Blade, just as Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man and Hugh Jackman is Wolverine, I can't see anyone else play the character perfectly
Nah it can be played better. You're correct on iron man. And Hugh was literally nothing like his comic counterpart. Wolverine is how snipes played blade but in a 5'3 short tempered fighting expert loner. Not a 6'2 skinny crybaby that can barely fight without his claws lol
You will see anyone else play in all those roles when they reboot all those movies in the next 5 to 10 years. You're welcome for the grim prediction of the future.
@@uzazilhigh skinny? Are you fucking kidding? And here we go again with the height problem bullshit. Just get over that why don't you? short and skinny Michael Keaton can played a good batman. proof that you don't need to be 100% visually accurate to play the part
Spawn and blade I and II, were one of my favourite action packed and fantasy/superheroes movies in my childhood, plus the soundtrack on both were outstnding, the very best of the 90's techno, rave and drum and bass, I loved it!
That opening scene was just genius - the wardrobe and music alone made my hair stand on end. The original Blade never gets the respect it deserves IMO.
Blade is still one of my favorite Marvel movies, right behind Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and X2. Love Stephen Dorff as Deacon Frost and Kris Kristofferson as Whistler Wesley Snipes as Blade just kicks all kingdoms of ass, I don’t see anyone else that can play him. Blade is the first successful Marvel film and one of my favorites.
Bonus fact: here in America a lot of people didn't know BLADE was a "comic book" movie. Being the comic book geek in my peer group i knew this and surprised all my friends with that tib bit.
I was thinking along this line. Maybe people didn't have any preconceived notions about it being a "comic book" movie because they didn't realize it was.
I seriously don't know what's wrong with you people on this thread! how can a movie that spawned 3 sequels that made big bucks at the box office be considered buried! Please explain!!!! Oh and a TV series exists too. Every knows about Blade. stop trying to push a false narrative.
I'm so glad you brought up the fact that Blade was first successful Marvel Comics Character based movie, leading to their eventual MCU. I've pointed this out before, and alot of comic book fans weren't aware of this, until I asked them.
One of the few films I saw in the cinemas more than once and have it on multiple formats. The refit made for a much better paced and tighter film. Score was amazing and just as brutal as the action scenes. Agree with you whole heartedly mate. :-)
A major thing a lot of people don't realize is that the Blade of the comics was almost a completely different character from the one in the film. He wasn't a half-human, half-vampire hybrid. He was a human being who had immunity to vampirism owing to his prostitute mother being killed by Deacon Frost as she gave birth to him. He couldn't be turned into a vampire and he couldn't be hypnotized by their gaze, but he didn't have any special powers. He got by on skills, smarts, ruthlessness and to some extent, hatred. He also had a totally different personality--in the vein of many Marvel heroes, he spoke in very informal manner, referring to Dracula, for example, as "Big Daddy Fangs."
Bonus fact for you , the very first prints of the film did not feature the Marvel logo on the begining of the movie , that was added after initial first few days when it looked like it was going to be a success
My favorite Comic book movie of all. Snipes' coolness and unrelenting thirst for revenge make the character perfect. No time for love stories or "Woe is me" narratives, just violence against suck heads.
Oh Death Machine. That, and Dark Angel (I Come in Peace) were two of these most underrated movies of my youth. I'd love to get your take on both of these movies. Keep up the phenomenal work.
You gotta remember how much competition there was at the time, I realize it's nothing compared to the sheer amount of superhero moves that came out in the 2000's but still this was uncharted waters and there's was many other IP's that had come and gone with very little success. Video game movies were hit and miss. Super Mario Bros (93), Double Dragon and Street Fighter (94), Mortal Kombat (95). Mortal Kombat having been a big hit, unlike the other comic book movies you mentioned such as Spawn. Comic and video game movie really improved in quality right after Blade came out with X-Men, Resident Evil and even Tomb Raider. I doubt Underworld would exist without Blade, having been so successful several years prior, not to mention video games like BloodRayne and even the TV series Buffy which blew up just after Blade came out...
That Disc Jockey in the opening Club Blood scene was awesome too---those headlights he was wearing on his head was bad ass. It gave that scene a nice touch. If I ever do a DJ job (not hardly though), I'm wearing headlights, lol. 😁
Another thing with this movie is that the DVD team at New Line Cinema back then were the best ones on the planet. Blade were the first ever reference quality movie on DVD, but on Region 1 version. NLC worked very hard to make the picture perfect on DVD, and at the same time have very powerful sound. I own the original first print R1 release with Snap cover. Later bought it on Blu-Ray of course.
how old was Brad ln The Gate? 14 maybe? 33 years later and he's still going strong in the lead of The Deputy. Other than Stephen and Kurt Russell there are very few child actors that survive the Hollywood machine from childhood to mid life and beyond and remain virtually unscathed.
Kris Kristofferson is one of the biggest super legends in Country Music history, also a huge actor, starred in A Star is Born with Barbara Streisand, movies with Johnny Cash.....he as Whistler is one of my favorite rolls of his :)
Most people I've known havent even heard of Howard the Duck but I watched it alot as a kid. I thought it was weird but neat. But I also like Tank Girl.
This movie is pretty good in my opinion. I would never say it was perfect but it has a lot of cool moments and characters and has a very unique style and story for a late 90s action movie! Great times! Good work on this video! I respect that you occasionally make mistakes in your recaps. Terrific video though! I love reviewing your old videos!
Just recently watched the blade movies again because I had not seen them in years, still brilliant movies and the second one still freaks me out, snipes will always be blade
I remember when I saw this in the theater after the big fight scene in the beginning after blade whoops everybody up everybody applauded and cheered in the theater lol
Thank you for acknowledging that Blade started the MCU! I've seen and read where people erroneously credit Iron Man as the start of the MCU! Ummm....NOT SO! It was Blade! Anyway, fantastic video!!
I just can't imagine many people being a fit for the Blade role. You need somebody who looks the part, can act at least a little, and looks competent in a melee fight. Snipes is perfect for the role. He has the look, he definitely can act and actually knows martial arts. At that time, the only other guy who might even come close to having all three was Michael Jai White and he had just done Spawn the year before, which wasn't exactly a blockbuster.
I have a Blade themed tattoo (Dragonetti glyph) and my dog (R.I.P), we named Blade. When people asked his name and we said "Blade" they would be like "Blaze?". Didnt realise Blade would be THAT hard to under-friggin-stand lol.
Thank you for this one. i freaking love these movies.

Best thing is Wesley Snipes could come right back and play that character there's really no timeline set for it. I'd love to see a Blade cameo in the upcoming Morbius movie.
Blade was a great movie, it was released as a Vampire Film, versus a super hero movie. Also don’t forget, John Carpenter released his movie Vampires a month later, and that was a great Vampire film too.
@Minty Comedic Arts: Wish you'd now do 'Blade II' ( also written 'Blade 2' ) - which co- starred brilliant actor Ron Perlman [ earlier of "Vincent" in the brilliant, but unfortunately short-lived, T.V. series version of "Beauty & the Beast" ( 1987 - 1990; ) and later of "Hellboy" in 'Hellboy' ( 2004 ) and 'Hellboy II: The Golden Army' ( 2008 ) fame. ] [ Also: ALL three movies - 'Blade II,' 'Hellboy,' and 'Hellboy II: The Golden Army' were directed by Guillermo del Toro ( BAFTA- winning - for 'Pan's Labyrinth' in 2006, Mexican- born screenwriter- director. ) ]
The perfect balance of corny, gruesome and badass. That “f**ck yeah” arm move blade does in the bloodbath intro is the perfect example. Very few movies can get away with this, let alone pull it off.
There were some awesome filming moments and scenes and overall visuals. I loved the color tone they used, everything felt like fluorescent lighting but grittier, the driving scenes with the sped up quick action moments and the attitude of the movie was perfect. I can totally agree with the hollow feeling of the movie, it need more lore and history to explain some things. Drawing the viewer in and maybe grab the comic to find more backstory, not of Blade but the vampires/leaders/ect. Overall the Blade series sits in a well deserved spot within my broader hoard, Blade 1 & 3 being my favorites. Fingers crossed they do something with this franchise WORTH doing.
You left out a couple things. Cameo by Traci Lord's who led actor Kenny Johnson (Curtis "Lemonhead" Lemansky from The Shield in an early role), into the blood rave. Maybe in a later video, Goyer wanted to keep it serious until Blade 3 when he made his version of Batman and Robin. He said wanted to include as many actors from Best in Show as possible. Also no follow up to the Night Stalkers in part 3 who were really interesting .
Minty, do you think Blade influenced the style of fight scenes in The Matrix? Watching the flight clips from your video, I can't help but notice how much they remind me of The Matrix.
Before the whole Copid-19 virus thing happened a couple years back NYC dive bars ripped a page out of the Blade movie and had its own version Blood Rave. I would read about it in the Village Voice and thought it was dumb. Now come to think of it; it would interesting to go whenever this pandemic clears up.
Blade is a great movie and I appreciate your video on it. Please make a video on Blade II, which is even better than the original, in my opinion. Magnificent sequel!
Mr. Minty my man... superb commentary on this film I totally agree with your opinions.. blade 2 was awesome...trinity was ehh..but apparently they're gonna do a remake so well see how that goes.. I hope snipes makes a cameo ..or even plays a major character like the villian... speaking of remakes makes me think of hellboy..I gotta go check if you did a video on that
I didn't know Morbius was originally planned to appear. Guess that explains who was apparently crawling across the roof of a building in that one scene with the time lapse transition.
Oops I made a boo boo, I got the actor wrong for Whistler, he was played by actor Kris Kristofferson, the article I was reading said Patrick McGoohan was another alternative actor to play the character and I got the information muddled up and it doesn’t help I am unfamiliar with both actors.

It's ok we'll let it slide this time
Its ok Minty no problem
Eh. Unless you're a country music fan, he's pretty forgettable. Totally forgivable mistake.
It's rare for you to make such a mistake, so full respect to you for admitting it.
Yea country music isnt really a thing here, or at least not in my community. I'll use the complaints as a learning curve to do better and take any and all complaints on the chin as my just deserts for making the stuff up :)
"Bloodbath", one of the best opening scenes of any movie.
More like "Vampire rave orgy bloodbath"
Was hoping someone mentioned the techno launch...b4 blade, 100s at the rave...after blade, thousands!
@@justinvaughn8051 Facts! 1999 is when the rave scene started to surface into the mainstream in the US.
Yes! And that SONG that they play. Ah! “Confusion” by NWO. Love it! 😝🤘🏽🤘🏽
I was high as shit and it blew my mind.
Honestly, Wesley Snipes is Blade, just as Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man and Hugh Jackman is Wolverine, I can't see anyone else play the character perfectly
Me 2
Nah it can be played better. You're correct on iron man. And Hugh was literally nothing like his comic counterpart. Wolverine is how snipes played blade but in a 5'3 short tempered fighting expert loner. Not a 6'2 skinny crybaby that can barely fight without his claws lol

Spawn and blade I and II, were one of my favourite action packed and fantasy/superheroes movies in my childhood, plus the soundtrack on both were outstnding, the very best of the 90's techno, rave and drum and bass, I loved it!
To say it in my voice of 1998: "This movie is AWESOME!"
Heck, i found it even cooler than "the Matrix".
Definitely a major influence on the Matrix.
That opening scene was just genius - the wardrobe and music alone made my hair stand on end. The original Blade never gets the respect it deserves IMO.
Wesley Snipes will always be Blade and no one can ever replace him
I thought it was just me 👍
I think the same! Great actor!
@@aquariusing4875 He was amazing in demolition man
Except that one cosplayer.
Naw, it’s cliche at this point, was Romero better than Nicholson? Nicholson better then ledger? Naw...things always improve.
Blade is still one of my favorite Marvel movies, right behind Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and X2. Love Stephen Dorff as Deacon Frost and Kris Kristofferson as Whistler Wesley Snipes as Blade just kicks all kingdoms of ass, I don’t see anyone else that can play him. Blade is the first successful Marvel film and one of my favorites.
Bonus fact: here in America a lot of people didn't know BLADE was a "comic book" movie. Being the comic book geek in my peer group i knew this and surprised all my friends with that tib bit.
Im sure your friends were so in awe of your Blade knowledge that they made you the new leader of your Dungeons and Dragons Secret Club. Congrats!! 🥇🎉

I was thinking along this line. Maybe people didn't have any preconceived notions about it being a "comic book" movie because they didn't realize it was.
'tib bit' ? Nice palenBrome but what is a tib bit?
I had learned out about Blade by watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series on the now-defunct Fox Kids block of the Fox Network back in the '90s.
The original Blade movie IS a masterpiece! You are wrong Minty.
The first 3/4 of it was great. Parts of the final act are pretty rough though. I know it's because of emergency reshoots though.
I enjoy it but prefer number 2, less said about trinity the better
@John Smith: Agreed. However, for some unknown reason, Blade 2 and, dare I mention it, Blade: Trinity, are far more remembered than the original film.
I agree but I'd say only just, blade 2 however was for me 100% a masterpiece, really liked blade loved blade 2.
Blade 2 was visually awesome, but the first film had a great style and story that I wish they would have continued with.
The originator of the success of MCU
After seeing this movie, I bought a replica of "The Sword of the Daywalker"
This is the movie that changed me from a casual movie goer to a movie lover
Blade was an awesome movie funny how marvel tried to bury the existence of this movie when they came out with black panther
The P.C woke young people are to retarded to know dat unfortunately.
Marvel did not try to bury Blade. Blade was just beyond Kevin Figgis and Disney's brand approval.
@@erikadlloyd5586 *before
Lmao these responses. "They didn't bury anything they just made a huge deal pretending black superheroes never existed before." 🤣

A vampire character further developed by a person with the surname Wolfman, you couldn't make this up.
4:39, love DARK CITY.
Still a great classic flick to this day.
Forget Black Panther, this movie is the real deal. Just ask Marvel... enough said.
I wouldn't say 'forget BP' but Blade great. Black Panther was awesome. #RIPChadwickBoseman

Great movie, ironically minty I just watched 2 and trinity on digital
I watched the film just a few weeks ago and it still kicks arse. The first *proper* Marvel film. 👍👍
Wesley's cameo in "What We Do in the Shadows" was awesome. The other vampires trying to give him technical support for his Skype call was hilarious.
Nothing beats thst tune at the beginning!! Still a tune now!
That Disc Jockey in the opening Club Blood scene was awesome too---those headlights he was wearing on his head was bad ass. It gave that scene a nice touch. If I ever do a DJ job (not hardly though), I'm wearing headlights, lol. 😁
