    BTW, the reason the dude in the beginning wasn’t freaked out that they were going to a slaughterhouse is that was normal for an underground rave in the 90’s. They were always in like a warehouse or something like that.

    Fun Fact: Out of the alternative endings that were written, the one they filmed was how Frost transformed into a giant monster. Blade would still used the new weapon on it, but instead of killing Frost, it would depower him and Blade would simply stake him. But one other element was how the film teased Morbius as his next villain. Sadly, the test audience didn't like the blood monster part and the studio changed it.

      Yeah I saw this in the theater in 98 and I remember some of the CGI looking a bit low budget even back then. As the guy above said....this came out after Terminator 2, Jurassic Park 1 and 2 and many other movies with CGI. This was a low budget sleeper hit in 1998. But the CGI wasn't what makes this so good and memorable. The style. The choreography. The ingenious editing, music, photography, interesting storyline that moves at an almost James Cameron like revelatory pace. Just a great kinetic action picture and the sequel is even better with much improved CGI. Blade Trinity sucks though, sorry to say..

    Fun Fact 3: One idea for the Vampires in this film was to sell how they were basically mean and dirty compared to the charming romantic types we were getting before this.

    Well, Blade's strength comes from the fact that he's a pure blood. As this movie explains there are pure blood Vampires who were born Vampires and then the half bloods who were tuned into Vampires. even though Blade was only partially changed while being born, he' still technically a pure blood; this makes him on par with other pure bloods (who are essentially Vampire Royalty). In that beginning scene at the rave I highly doubt there was even a single pure blood there. At MOST the doorman might have been pure blood; he LOOKED too distinguished to just be some rando Vampire. So vampires are indeed incredibly strong compared to humans, but Blade is even stronger than those random Vamps; even at 100 to 1 against him, he's STILL killing them all. so it's not a question of them NOT being strong; it's more like Blade is just THAT much stronger.

If not for the fact that he was turned, he'd BE a very high ranking pure-blood. He discovered AND deciphered what the other pure-bloods were to lazy to do and it cost them their lives. The ONLY pre-blood killed by a normal Vampire was Kitano and he was killed by Frost himself; in a round-a-out way that Frost left him in the sun to explode. Which other pure-bloods were constantly killed by "normal" vamps??
      As for Blade being physically stronger, THAT is also proven from every time he actually drinks fresh human blood. After he takes Karen's blood and swan-dives into the pit after Frost watch that first jump kick he gives out. The director makes the creative choice to shake the camera, SHOWING just how much of a strength advantage Blade has. Blade is ALWAYS much stronger when he actually has real blood as opposed to his serum. So given the fact that he doles out severe beat downs while ON the serum, imagine how much MORE powerful he'd be with real blood.

Though later overshadowed by the 2000's more successful X-Men (2000) and Spider-Man (2002) Blade was the first Marvel movie to be a bona fide financial and critical success (Men in Black (1997) came out first but technically it was more a property bought by Marvel) and granted some productions such as the aforementioned Spider-Man had long been gestating but the movie's success proved that Marvel characters could headline their own movies. Additionally Blade himself was not as well-known prior to the movie's release but still made for a successful property. In addition to their A-list stars Marvel and DC have subsequently looked at other lesser-known characters for possible movies and despite Batman & Robin (1997) being basically a Genre-Killer the year before Blade proved comic book movies still had it. Of course the general public probably wasn't really aware that Blade was a comic book character originally, and thought it was just a cool Vampire Hunter especially since Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) premiered a year before. Though on the flip side it was thanks to cartoon Spider-Man the Animated Series (1994) where Blade made his first animated appearance and was still playing at the time that likewise go interest up among cartoon goers.
    1. In the ending as it was originally planned Frost turned into La Magra and became a large swirling mass of blood instead of keeping his humanoid form. This was scrapped because test audiences loved the Blade and Frost fight but lost interest as soon as Stephen Dorff turned into a faceless gelatinous blob. The special effects crew also couldn't get the visual effects to look right so the scene was re-shot to keep Dorff in the fight until the end. The abandoned ending can be seen as a special feature on the DVD.
    2. The original ending had Frost becoming La Magra and unleashing the Blood Tide which washes over the city and turns everyone it touches into vampires. The film ended with the vampires winning having caused the vampire apocalypse. It was a set up for a proposed sequel where Blade and Karen would travel around, hitting and destroying vampire food storage areas. The filmmakers didn't know if there would be a sequel so it was changed.
    3. Wesley Snipes was interested in doing a movie adaptation of the Black Panther comics when he was offered the project. Snipes said that he was unfamiliar with the Blade comics seeing more of a connection to the blaxploitation heroes of the 1970s. "I just approached him as this really cool character where I'd get to do martial arts and wear a leather suit" he said
    4. Kris Kristofferson's character Whistler was created for Blade's cameo on Spider-Man the Animated Series (1994). He was liked so much by Marvel's CEO that he was adopted into the Marvel universe
    5. Jet Li was offered the part of Deacon Frost but opted to do Lethal Weapon 4 (1998) instead. Bonus fact Snipes and Li would later eventually co-star together in Expendables 3
    6. Stan Lee originally had a cameo that was ultimately cut from the film. He played one of the cops that came into the blood club during the aftermath and discover Quinn's body on fire. Blade trilogy is one of the only marvel projects that Stan Lee never makes a cameo appearance and sadly since his passing he won't ever cameo in MCU Blade film.
    7. Michael Morbius was to be used as the main antagonist in Blade II (2002) but the idea was dropped when Marvel sold the character's rights to Artisan Entertainment to produce a standalone Morbius film. The vampire on the rooftop in the alternate ending is Morbius played by director Stephen Norrington. Morbius eventually made his live-action debut in Morbius (2022) played by Jared Leto.
    8. Skeet Ulrich lobbied hard for the role of Deacon Frost yes Ulrich would played Billy Loomis in Scream two years early.
    9. When Whistler first introduces himself to Karen he says his first name is Abraham. Bram Stoker who's first full name is Abraham wrote the original Dracula novel. He even used the name for one of his leading characters a.k.a Abraham Van Helsing.
    10. When David S. Goyer first pitched the idea of doing a Blade movie the executives of New Line felt there were only three actors who could possibly do the role Wesley Snipes, Denzel Washington and Laurence Fishburne but in Goyer's mind Snipes was always the perfect choice for the character of Blade.
    11. Quinn originally had a much smaller role but Donal Logue was so funny onset that his character was expanded and he was allowed to ad-lib a good portion of his dialogue. Logue would later return to superhero genre in Gotham TV series as Detective Bullock
    12. The scene where Karen and Deacon are talking about the cure for vampirism initially ran a bit longer and answered the question of how the vampires would feed if everybody was turned into a vampire. They would keep some humans alive in giant blood bags to harvest them. The bags can still be seen in a doorway during the scene and later played an integral part of the plot in Blade Trinity (2004). It was also the underlying plot structure for the movie Daybreakers (2009).

    Blade 1 and 2 are really good.
    Blade 3 story is not very good, but it does have the bonus of having the eye candy of prime Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds showing off exactly why they are eye candy.

  • @vkdeen7570
    @vkdeen7570 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    blade is an absolute classic, and right the height of Wesley snipes peak
    seriously, they could just remake it with modern cgi, and it would bang
    part of the reason the action is so good is that snipes is a lwgit martial artist and did the scenes himself. his kicks were so fast the cameras couldn't pick them up properly , so they had to get snipes to slow down and stylise it
    hope ur good alyce 👌

      The news about the new one being made is that they are making him gay. All because in one comic book there was a page about him being Bi or something and the left wing liberal writers were like oh yeah we can make that a main thing about the new blade movie we are making. The blade movies never went into his sexuality and they are going head over hills in the new one to make sure you know he is gay.

    According to google, in Blade universe, pure born vampires can make children. As they can extend lifespan as immortals but they can grow old. Not the other vampires such as Deacon Frost, he was turned. His lifespan extended like any immortals but he never grow old.

    Wesley Snipes' dedication on this role is something else. He trained and worked out for this role and even did an interview while in the Blade character.
    Overall, this reaction is a surprise but a welcome one

    I personally think it's better that Frosts plans for the ritual worked because then you get to see exactly how powerful Blade is when he kills a vampire god. In the comics he's kinda corny but actually one of the most powerful characters.

    When this gem was originally released in '98, "CGI" was absolutely no concern when it came to the epic delivery of this film. It fit the decade and its release and other notable ones that followed like The Matrix stand up, if not just in the story and its unique visual entertainment, but great casting and memorable characters.
    Definitely one of my top vampire films.

    The Russian vampire at the end was supposed to be a tease for the 2nd movies villain Michael Morbius, but they ended up going in a different direction & instead we got the god awful Morbius movie many years later with Jared Leto. Blade 2 is def worth a watch its actually directed by Guillermo Del Toro!

    I was one of the many who didn't know that Blade was a Marvel character and when Black Panther was released and announced that he was the "first" black Marvel superhero character was how you knew that there were more people who didn't know the Marvel Universe as they perceived. I saw this when it was released on video and enjoyed it. I just hope that Mahershala Ali is getting the proper training to live up to what Wesley Snipes did in this movie.

    I hope you'll watch both Blade 2 and Blade 3. Blade 2 is even better then 1 and while 3 gets a lot of flack (and some of it is deserved) it's still a great action movie with amazing scenes and a couple great actors. The bad guy/story for me is the weakest point by FAR!
