Oh heck yea, do a part II of Blade as well! This reaction was so smooth and cool :D Blade II is in many ways better, since it explains the lore and kinda has some different ideas, which overall play good with the movie. You can skip the 3rd part, that one kind of sucked imo. However it was still Blade, soooo.... You really don't need to skip it xD Still much better than any of the new vampire movies anywhere. Very close in the ballpark lies the Underworld series. Very good one too, but this series (of movies) shows a battle between Vampires & Warewolfs (Humans are mixed up there as well) with proper gore, not like the lame Twilight saga xD I'd love to see a reaction to Underworld movies as well, pretty please :D

So much so I literally was looking for the movie exit. I was moments away from leaving the theatre. LIKE FOR REAL!! I was for real trying to find my way out of the theatre! I was scared $#!+less!! Wesley was known for more lighter action movies and black dramas. I was not prepared for the gore and darkness. I was totally blown away.

"Blade" is so much fun because of that tone. It leans fully in to being an over-the-top comic book movie, and that's what makes it so fun and exciting.

@@vedbergsmagic3217 Honestly, I don't think the current team at Marvel can produce a good Blade movie. The target audience for the films shifted since Blade I & II released. Those were both rated "R". Nowadays, Marvel usually aims for PG-13. There are exceptions, like Deadpool, and Punisher movies. I've read that Mahershala Ali is very unhappy with the script as it only had 2 mediocre action scenes. Hopefully it gets updated to something he can be proud of...he doesn't deserve a lackluster script with tame fight scenes.

BLADE 1 is a masterpiece! despite its overall setting, the film manages to make all the crazy stuff that is happening, somewhat rooted in real-life and its never losing tone or pace... just a great movie!

What I really appreciate is that the ending is a "story goes on" without really teasing a sequel. This is a complete story, and it's the best comic movie I've seen yet. The sequels are also worth watching, imo, though don't expect them to be nearly as good.

"This is the coolest thing I've ever seen!" Was pretty much my reaction the first time I saw the opening to Blade.

Wesley Snipes being an accomplished martial artist really came through.

Soooo much fun can't wait for 2 and trinity!!!!!

Blade II is worth a watch, For Blade III, opinions differ. It depends on who you ask. Wesley had got a reputation for being extraordinarily difficult to work with during filming. He would only communicate with the director via post-it notes and at one point he refused to open his eyes during a scene, so they had to 'open' his eyes in post production. It was also said that they had to use his double for a lot of scenes because Snipes wouldn't cooperate. His career sort of tanked after that.

He was protesting the best way he could, BECAUSE, they were literally trying to write him out of the movie completely. They relented and had him become the main character and finish out the movie due to test audiences bonding with Blade and nobody else. They sabotaged it on purpose and he was contractually obligated to finish it. The whole money fraud thing was beyond stupid since reportedly they were other high level people who owed way more in back taxes and got off with a slap on the wrist. They targeted Wesley Snipes for a reason.

First time watching the smoothest baddest vampire hunter, incredibly jealous of you two! The blood rave scene and the music has become incredibly iconic and the way they introduce Snipes on screen immediately lets you know, this guy is for real! Fun Facts: Stan Lee was supposed to have a cameo as one of the elder vampires but due to scheduling conflicts that never happened and Udo Kier, the vampire that slapped Frost, accidentally hit him for real during one take and kept apologizing after it Also Blade 1 and 2 for me still hold the record for the sickest fight scenes in a Marvel Movie to this day (Might have a little bit to do with the fact that Snipes actually knows martial arts)

Should also be noted that vampires in Marvel comics are actually infinitely harder to kill than in the movies. They're stronger, faster, have magic abilities, and their healing ability is insane. They've recently said in the comics that Wolverine's X-Factor is very similar to vamp healing, and might actually descend from them somewhere along the way. And Wolvie can survive a point blank nuclear blast. You got to go through a whole damn ritual to kill vamps if you're not leaving them in the sun.

The Jeff Bridges looking guy is Kris Kristofferson... who is both a hugely successful actor AND country singer - songwriter. After Sinead O'Connor's death recently, clips circulated of how he stood with her when she got bood offstage after her SnL protest, and then wrote a song about her, backing her up. He was a real stand up dude.

A comment about the "every move is like a great superhero landing" line. To some of us, the 3-point superhero landing, especially with the back arm raised, is just known as The Blade Pose. It's quite commonly referenced for example in the excellent DnD podcast Dungeons and Daddies, especially in season two in relation to the characted played by Freddie Wong. I highly recommend that show as well. =) Also, comments like "If I were a vampire, I'd love to go there" in that wholesome tone is one of the main reason I follow you guys. Keep up the good work!

Great reaction guys. Some of the CG here hasn't aged the best, but that's easy to overlook -- one of the coolest, most violent, most incredible action/horror movies of the 90s. Worth noting that the actor who played Quinn, Donal Logue, was mainly a comedian at the time -- he starred in the sitcom Grounded for Life, where he was the quintessential doofy Dad/manchild. He's done plenty of serious roles since, but this was kind of a big departure at the time.

Blade is widely considered the first "good" Marvel movie (their attempts at live actions movies before this were poorly executed). I think one of the reasons it holds up so well is that it's an intense R rated movie, while most current superhero movies are PG-13. The only things in the movie that I think have aged particularly badly are the CGI and the ridiculous amount of times the F word is used. Fun Fact: Blade's fighting style, with all the kicks and spins like at 31:02, is capoeira; a Brazilian martial art that incorporates elements of dance and acrobatics. If you guys like Wesley Snipes, I recommend Demolition Man, a cult classic where he plays the main villain.

Such an amazing reaction, so glad you loved it... one of my Fave films. Not sure if it's been mentioned, but this is regarded as the reason we now have Marvel movies. marvel was essentially bankrupt, and on the brink of closing forever... this film brought in so much money it saved them, and they realised movies were a good way to go! (Abridged version of course). Also, if you loved Wesley Snipes in this, you will LOVE Demolition man, also starring Sandra Bullock & Sylvester Stallone ;) ;)

YES!! One of my favorite Badass vampire hunters! Before Wesley Snipes was cast as Blade, Denzel Washington, LL Cool J, Michael Jai White, and Laurence Fishburne were considered for the role. Snipes was originally going to be cast as Black Panther, but production was cancelled or put in turn around. Snipes was then cast.

Another good Wesley Snipes movie imo Demolition Man

Fun Fact: Westley Snipes have an cameo in What We Do In The Shadow (FX Show) as his Blade character. I'm extremely happy that Blade is getting a solo and M rated game, neither 2026 nor 2027. Plus, the new director of the new MCU Blade is getting R rated with the writers from Logan and the creator of True Detective (HBO Max). I'm looking forward to some R rated films from MCU and DC Elseworld, such as Joker 2 (2024).

I absolutely adore this movie! One of my all time favourite action/hero movies. Unfortunately Blade 2 and 3 aren't as god as Blade 1. But i still like the trilogy... And i love W. Snipes as Blade!

this convinced me I NEED to watch the entire blade trilogy

I've seen Blade seventeen hundred times....my reaction are just like his every time after 22yrs!

Man, I saw this movie at university when it first released and I've loved it ever since. You're right about it being heightened without intentional camp or a nod and a wink. The big difference between older superhero movies and modern ones is sincerity. Since the MCU they all feel too embarrassed to be sincere so they call themselves out constantly. It's tiring, but hey, it makes Blade feel fresh 25 years later.

You’ve bought the ticket, now you two have gotta stay on the ride till the end 😂 Each movie in the trilogy has its own special thing. This one is pure action movie cliche that also happens to be a comic book movie. It has so many of those OMG moments on the first viewing; one of my faves wasn’t in this edit, where after Deacon glues himself back together and Blade mouths “what the f**k”. Blade 2 was directed by Del Toro so it leans even further into the spooky/goth aesthetic - plus it has so many people in it that went on to do other things that I GUARANTEE you’ll do the “point at the screen” thing at least once. Blade Trinity combines the OG look with the cameo power. The dialogue is not great, but it’s still a great piece of turn-your-brain-off cinema. Plus you get to see Ryan Reynolds trying out his Deadpool material a decade before the actual movie.

Blade was Marvel's first successful film and helped kickstart the MCU as we know it with their comic book adaptations. So we owe a lot to Wesley Snipes' Blade.

Fun Fact: The girl in the opening of the film is Traci Lords, who became infamous in the late 80s-early 90s for starring in several pron films while underage.

I'd say you should go for both 2 & 3. I'm not personally too fond of 2, but I know lots of people love it. Conversely, a lot of people don't like 3, but I love it.

Awesome reaction! Definitely do Blade 2. If you want to see another fantastic, but dramatically different Wesley Snipes role, I highly recommend "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar."

Snipes is actually a legit Karate Black Belt. It's always good for Action movies when the actor knows martial arts.

Something to add to your potential future movies list is 1997's Spawn. It's a lot like blade, but less refined, and cheaper, but still trying to capture that grimdark 80's and 90's comic style that would go on to inspire The Matrix and other NeoNoir films and stories that owuld be all over the early 2000s.

This is one of those rare movies that knows exactly what it is, knows exactly what it's trying to do, and nails it perfectly. It just works on every level. Oh, and Wesley himself came up with Blade's fighting style in these movies. It's a bit mixture of a handful of different disciplines that he's already skilled in. PLEASE do Blade 2! It's at least as good as this one. The third movie not so much...fun, non-spoilery fact about #2, the guy who played the vampire who lost his hand to Blade's "pig sticker" in the library scene in this one returns as a completely different vampire in #2.

Wesley Snipes manages to portrait Blade as a character who doesn't just seem cool from the view of the audience but as someone actively tries and 100% succedes at being the coolest mofo within his own universe. those little smirks and gestures, basically telling himself "yep, I'm just that cool." love it.

U calling em Whisper is probably the best thing I’ve heard from a Blade reaction in years.

i always enjoy you guys showing up on my feed

This is an amazing franchise

This is one of those movies where people can argue about it being quality cinema, but it's awesomeness is objective fact.

As a teenager I'd listen to the Blade OST during work... God knows what I looked like, oblivious to the world, but it got me through some very dull afternoons. 🎶🎧🎶

Dudes, if you liked this one, you'll LOVE 2! It's one of the rare sequels that's better than the first, and obviously, the first is awesome.

No way the second was better than this. Not imo.

My favorite reaction from you guys! Your enthusiasm and appreciation for how awesome Snipes is just makes my day.

Fantastic guys. definitely gotta do the second one. Alot of ppl hate on the third one cause it does kinda do the try hard bit. But its still an absolute blast to watch. plus its got deadpool before he was deadpool so thats always fun.

OMG

5:12 ICONIC... I remember the whole theater just erupting on this shot. We had no idea what we're even watching.

Man I saw Blade in the theater when it first came out and my mind was blown🤯 It was so bad ass on the big screen.

Please do Blade 2 next! Its got a lot of sentimental value for me. And thank you, i WILL stay nice, dudes.

Blade 2 is personally my favorite. I'd love to see yall watch it

That's been the first comic book movie I ever watched and it still holds up and is one of the best Marvel movies of all time.

Great movie, great action scenes and choreographic fights by Wesley Snipes. I wish we had more movies like this, the closest we get is the John Wick ones. Blade (1998) is sure of a good time movie that everyone needs to witness! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Yes do part 2, Now people dont like 3 but for me I like it, not as good as the other 2 but still a good movie to me.

Just wait till you get to blade trinity, that movie is gonna be a boat load of laughs

He sure thinks he's funny, anyway.

3:32 You guys edited the best part! Blades’ fist pump is iconic ✊🏾

I saw this in theaters when it came out. It was amazing on the big screen and everyone was amazed.

Cool these guys are young enough not to know Tracy Lords.

Fun fact: Traci Lords 👌

blade proved comic book movies can work.

"does that mean whistler is not gonna be in Blade 2?" :)

One of the best reviews I've seen in a long time, made me feel to watch Blade again for the million time

Blade is a half-human half-vampire hybrid, who has all their strengths and none of their weaknesses, except for the thirst.
