We as fans cannot imagine anyone else ever taking up those mantles and doing them justice.

In case no one else mentioned it, Snipes did all his own fight scenes. He's a martial arts expert in real life, and was at that time.

This was the first comic book movie that made studio execs reevaluate how they treated and made comic movies. The success of Blade made them realize if they actually took comic book characters seriously and stuck to the source material that comic book movies can be successful. A lot of people don’t realize (but should) that Blade launched the _modern_ comic book movie era.

Each movie is a reflection of the director. Stephen Norrington set the foundation, with horror/super-hero action stunts, and some very visual set-pieces (the blood rave, motorcycle attack in the building fountains). Blade II channeled Guillermo del Toro's love of horror and comic books, with his distinctive color palette, dark humor, and willingness to have over-the-top craziness. My favorite of the three. The third film had a first time director and Snipes having a personal meltdown, causing a troubled production. It had its moments (Ryan Reynolds showed he wasn't just a comedic actor), but Trinity was the weakest of the films by far.

This movie should rightly be regarded as the start of Marvel's cinematic success!

The 90s were peak leather-wearing, dark and broody vampireness. We also had Vampire the masquerade rpg, it was the glory days.

Karen is a Haematologist. She is an expert in blood disorders and vampirism seems to be a virus in the Marvel universe, so she's the perfect person to find a cure. Before Whistler was murdered, she says that she went to the hospital and took some stuff. She spent the night creating a cure for herself. You were sharp-eyed enough to notice that the blue vials weren't Blade's serum (which are red) so kudos to you...! 👍🏻 I like that they used other creatures like Pearl and explained how Curtis became a zombie. I always remember being exposed to stuff that we weren't mature enough to see, but the 90s was the best for films and music. Saw this in the cinema and was blown away by the brilliance of it. Blade & The Matrix are my favourite films and just like Matrix, the second films in both trilogies are superior to the first, so I highly recommend Blade 2. It was fun sharing your first time viewing of this classic, so thanks for the cool video...!

The real horror of this movie is that too few people give it credit for being the actual birth of the marvel cinematic universe. (This movie was the first movie Marvel ever had a hand in (under Marvel Enterprises, long before Marvel Studios was ever even a concept) and did it more as a test to see if they could make money off it. If Blade had failed to make a decent profit, we wouldn't have any Marvel movies today, or at least they would be very different.) The actual reasons he wasn't included in the early (rebirth) of the MCU was because he already had movies, along with rights issues, seeing as a number of Marvel characters had been sold off to other studios, so Marvel only had the rights to publish them in comics, not in movies/TV shows. The most well-known of these was of course Spider-Man, but it also included a bunch of others. Blade as a character had been announced to be incorporated into the current evolution of the MCU years ago now, however there have been a huge amount of delays due to a bunch of different factors. The secondary horror of this movie is that this was the original concept of what Marvel movies should be...brutal, unapologetic, with interesting characters and rated-R. They dumbed everything down with the current evolution to appeal to a wider audience, but in doing so, it took away a lot of the true badassery of many of the characters, which made a lot more money, and a lot of people enjoyed for a quite a while, but quite frankly begins to get boring eventually. The reason Infinity War and Endgame made so much money was because they followed the original concept of Blade more closely, made them a lot darker and deeper and essentially made 2 DC movies instead of Marvel movies.

There were a handful of Marvel character movies made by various studios before the MCU and Marvel Studios were formed. Blade (Warner Bros) was one of the first successful ones. Then came the X-Men series (2000-2020) with Fox, then Spider-man (2002-Present) with Sony. Daredevil (2003) and Fantastic Four (2005-2015) also with Fox, a little Punisher (1989-2008), Hulk (2003), Ghost Rider (2007, 2011) and a few others sprinkles in too. Mixed reviews on most of them, I personally liked most, even with the campiness and questionable production of many of them.

Great review👏 Having seen Blade several times, just watching your review now, it occurred to me how much it preceded The Matrix in almost every way. It's uncanny how the aesthetics, stylings, choreography, music and tone are damn near identical. Blade started so many trends.

Blade didn't start any trends, it was one film in the middle of a trend of "dark" (in aesthetic as well as tone) action movies in the 90s, it wasn't the first or the last even if it was a VERY good example of one. You arguably can even go back to the Keaton Batman if you wanted the start of the trend, but you had The Crow, Spawn, Dark City, probably others I've forgot by now. Blade was definitely influential, because it was one of the more successful ones before The Matrix really moved the goalposts for everyone.

Haha I got mention the fact that whistler had an awesome line when he saves blade’s ass “catch you fuckers at bad time”

Stan Lee's executive producer credits were just contractual. He didn't have anything to do with making the movies or tv series, he just collected checks for them. Blade is from the 1970s, when the horror genre made a big comeback in the world of comic books. Marvel in particular created several "horror heroes" like Blade, the Man-Thing, Werewolf by Night, Ghost Rider, etc. DC had Swamp Thing, the Demon and others. So BLADE the movie series is NOT a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. DC Comics has been owned for most of its existence as a corporate sibling to Warner Bros., but Marvel did not have that kind of affiliation. So instead, Marvel would sell the movie/TV rights to various characters individually, with no real thought of having a united mega-franchise of all the heroes. This is why, before the MCU takes off, we had 20th Century Fox doing X-MEN, FANTASTIC FOUR and DAREDEVIL movies, Columbia doing SPIDER-MAN and GHOST RIDER movies, Artisan Entertainment doing the PUNISHER movies, Universal doing the INCREDIBLE HULK movie, and New Line Cinema doing the BLADE series. In fact New Line also had the rights to Iron Man and almost made an IRON MAN movie starring Tom Cruise in the early 2000s. There were 3 Wesley Snipes BLADE movies, as well as a one-season BLADE TV series starring Sticky Fingaz, but the character is going to be officially joining the MCU in the upcoming BLADE movie starring Mahershala Ali.

N'Bushe Wright (Karen) is sooo beautiful!! She's in two other really great films, "Dead Presidents" (1995), and "Fresh" (1994). These aren't horror films, so they're not quite for your channel theme. But perhaps you may want to check those films out in your spare time. Both movies are star studded. Fresh, for instance, has both Samuel L. Jackson, and Giancarlo Esposito in it. 😊

I read another reactor's comment section and going to pass it along. Back then, this was simply a "vampire movie" not a "Marvel movie." Also in the same year we had John Carpenter's Vampires, another excellent vampire movie. It was a trend following From Dusk Till Dawn a couple years before as well as Tales from the Crypt: Bordello Of Blood, and Interview With A Vampire another couple years before that. It was quite a time when Horror films were the thing blending with other genres of course. It still seems to bounce between Zombies and Vampires today.

i knew of blade from Foxs Spider-Man, i was hoping there would eventually be a crossover when Spiderman came out and was successful, but corssovers werent a thing until Iron Man and The Increedible Hulk... you dont realize how stoked i was when I saw Stark show up in the mid credits of Inc Hulk...im like "these movies all mean something!"... now crossovers are so common it kind of lost its appeal, but im not against them.

Zombies vs. Vampires: The (Economic) Battle Continues Bruce Watson "Over the past few years, popular culture has become a veritable undead battleground, with armies of zombies and vampires fighting for the top spots in literature, film and television. A year ago, I analyzed this struggle and discovered that there appears to be a loose connection between recession cycles and monster movies: zombie films tend to be more popular during boom times, while vampire flicks are ascendant when the economy is bad."

19:00 Whistler was apparently invented for the Spider Man animated TV show and was so beloved that he’s canon now.

Loved your reaction to this, such a fun film. I don't know if people have suggested "REC" before as a possible future watch but that is my favourite horror and highly recommended.

The real horror of this movie is killing Traci Lords character off within 10 minutes

That was a mean thing to do. She's way too gorgeous to kill off so quickly. She should have been Deacon's girl. Way better than the one they got to play her.

Blade is a character in a series of Marvel comics. That's the connection.

You could definitely get a part in Blade with those teeth! As nice as they are! 😄

Great reaction and to one of my old favorites I still watch to this day

Blade was a blast when it came out. If it had "sucked" Marvel would have gone under, blade is the reason the MCU exists. Loved your reaction, it made me batty :) 🧛🦇♥

Ryan Reynolds appearance in Blade Trinity is his video resume for Deadpool.

Blade is actually a full vampire without their weaknesses.

He was originally full human immune to vampire bites, later retconned into a human-vampire hybrid (a Dhampir). And he does have one of their weaknesses at least, their bloodlust.

Fact: The woman who brought the poor bastard to the rave is “legendary” adult actress Traci Lords

Blade: The Halfzie Vampzie 😂❤

You should watch Skinamarink.

Remember when Deacon was holding the little girl hostage in the park and made the comment about being cut from his mother- he knew Blade was born by c-section. He knew who Blade was the whole time.

Kat, you are hilarious!!!! You make me laugh more than any of the others, and I watch quite a lot of these. The timely comments, the facial expressions, and the gestures combine to have me cracking up!! More please!!😂😂😂❤❤❤

The real injustice is how Karen wasn't even mentioned in the sequels. The actress N'Bushe Wright has since retired from acting which is a shame...she was great!

Blade is indeed a Marvel hero. However he operates at street level and only concerns himself with hunting vampires (and indirectly other supernatural night-time evil doer's) There has been crossovers with other Marvel hero's, but nothing really of note. He would join The Defenders (with Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Daredevil and Iron Claw) but their vampire hunting priority doesn't 'cut' it for Blade.

re: throwing the woman out the window and to the building across the way: She implemented the "flop drop and roll" technique. lol

Deacon Frost is one of the great film villains, you really feel the charisma he has to make people follow him even though he's clearly a lunatic... the conversation where he's convincing Quinn that "he needs him" to get him on board with capturing Blade rather than killing, it's top notch writing and acting and completely unexpected for an action movie. You 100% believe that people would follow this guy. Or the little look and "Thanks" to Quinn after the completely unnecessary punch in Blade's face, great character moment.

Blade was introduced in Tomb of Dracula, one their horror comics of the 70's. Marvel has quite a few horror characters in their pantheon but since people associate Marvel exclusively with superheroes they get kinda swept aside a lot of the time in other media. Thankfully Blade is getting a reboot soon and rumors are Wesley is coming back as Blade in other MCU projects. I personally would love to see a Tomb of Dracula series.b

If the quality of the other Marvel horror comic characters matches that of "Werewolf By Night," it could be a darn fine ride. 😎

@@thomashiggins9320 That's what I'm hoping. Werewolf by Night was perfection. I just hope the other horror projects go there too instead of being completely watered down. I don't need a hard R film, I just need something that feels like those comics, that whimsical Halloween type atmosphere.

Kat, you never bore me!

This was a blast and makes me want to go back and watch Blade again, it's been far too long.

This movie easily has one of the best opening action sequences ever!

This will never win a poll, but the 1985 horror/comedy House is right up your alley. Think, Evil Dead 2, but less scary. 🤔

"halfsy-vampsy" bright a hugh smile and a laugh to me! This was a great reaction! Definitely watch Blade 2! It's just as good, in a different way.

I love how at the beginning she’s like “I wanna see some action” not knowing what she’s about to witness from the black belt martial artist Wesley Snipes

this is one of those times where the sequel will outdo the first movie. you're in for a good time with Blade 2

The blonde vampire woman who takes the guy to the rave, is played by Traci Lords. She's infamous for nearly destroying the adult film industry, by using a fake ID, in order to shoot several adult films, while under the age of 18.
