Shame Wesley wanted this to be the start of a big franchise for Blade. Put a lot of work and effort into the character drawing from his martial arts background for the action sequences. for the 90's it was something new and different. A cool vampire that could kick ass. This was well before Underworld. different directors conflicts on the set of the third one things didn't pan out. Makes one wonder what could have been .

I never think any other actor play blade because for me Wesley Snipes is the best blade ever. Special mention.. Dorff is amazing.

Blade has been my favorite marvel character since I was 4 years old. I grew up on comics in the early and late 90s because of my dad, who also loved Blade. I was too young to see the movie in theaters, but because my dad had exposed me to horror at a really young age (3-4 years old) he let me watch it when it came out on VHS. I was enamored by Wesley Snipes Blade. NO ONE could have played Blade as well as Snipes did. He WAS Blade. I remember I actually believed he was the real Blade until I was old enough to understand that movies weren’t real and actors weren’t their characters. This movie series holds a special place in my heart. It was a series my dad and I bonded over. I lost him in 2018 and I’m sad that he won’t get to see the new iteration of Blade. But I’ll be there in theaters saving my dad a seat beside me knowing he’ll be there with me in spirit. I’m so excited for it.

"Some people always trying to ice skate uphill," then proceeds to deliver the final blow in the fanciest way possible.

One of my favourite movies ever, grew up watching this marvel R rated badass movie, the second one is also very good.

We actually see bullet time in this movie, even before we see it in the Matrix

I love Blade, but growing up, I never really knew or thought of this as a Marvel movie, it's awesome that they are thinking of introducing it to the mcu but I will always have my heart to these original movies, it's what introduced me to Vampires, and to this insane awesome world. And It's not related to Marvel or anything but I would love to see you guys watch Riddick if you haven't seen it. It's one of those movies just like Blade that give me nostalgia.

I was 14 years old and a Freshman in high school when this movie came out in 1998. Blade fan since 1995. Dope movie.

I just assume that when a person turns into a Vampire, they lose their humanity in the process. Hence why Blade's mother never gave a shit about him. She even says "I've killed, I've hunted, and I enjoyed it." They' derive pleasure from killing people. That morale compass they once had as a human is gone. and they embrace their new lives as vampires.

@@Tocool. So much wrong there. The "MCU" stands for Marvel Cinematic Universe and is the name for the films and tv shows Marvel Studios has produced since Iron Man in 2008 and that's it. Marvel Studios was started in 1992 six years before Blade and they leased their characters to Studios instead of making the movies themselves. By the time Spider-Man 2 came out Marvel had only made 62 million off the Raimi Spider-Man films which collectively made over a billion dollars. They started making their own films to get more of the profits because they were getting scraps from the studios. Pre MCU Theatrical Releases Blade made 131 million at the Box Office, Blade 2 made 155 million, Blade Trinity made 132 million, X-Men made 296 million, X2 made 407 million, Last Stand made 460 million, Fantastic Four made 333 million, FF2 made 301 million, Spider-Man made 825 million, Spider-Man 2 made 789 million, Spider-Man 3 made 895 million, Hulk made 245 million, Daredevil made 179 million, Ghost Rider made 228 million, only Punisher and Elektra did worse than Blade at the time with 57 million each at the Box Office. As for Stan, He's the man who started it all, but didn't run or work at Marvel Studios he was retired and pretty much relegated to Company Mascot by the time Marvel Studios started in 1992.

Great reaction... This was such a good film...it has real style...the music and sets are amazing...it would be nice to see movies of this caliber these days.

(At 21:35) And THIS is why vampires he kills call him "the daywalker". He's a half-breed vampire that can walk in the day time.

Blade is a dhampir (sometimes spelled dhampyres, dhamphirs, or dhampyrs) are creatures that are the result of a union between a vampire and a mortal human. This union was usually between male vampires and female mortal humans, with stories of female vampires mating with male mortal humans being rare.

The first modern mainstream superhero movie that kicked off the current era was "Batman" 1989. The 90's featured a lot of 2nd tier lesser-known characters adapted into movies, and there were some notable hits, (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Crow, Spawn, and The Mask) as well as some high-profile bombs (The Shadow, The Phantom) and a few that developed a cult following over time (Tank Girl, Mystery Men) All of that happened along with the Blade trilogy, culminating with X-men in 99.

Absolutely amazing! Loved your reaction, commentary and review. Thank you so much for checking out Blade. It’s one of my favourites and was one of my very first vampire films, superhero films, and even just R rated films. So it introduced to more than a few genres that I continue to love to this day. It also helped introduce me to anime, a medium that I sincerely love & cherish and has helped me in numerous ways over the years. As watching Blade (1998), led me to checking out Anime Blade (2011). It was part of Marvel Anime, that also did Iron Man, Wolverine, X-Men, and Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher. They were all definitely fantastic, and Anime Blade in particular was phenomenal in my opinion. For one thing, the mom stuff was handled far better, and differently & more meaningfully then Blade 98 (that shocked me too) without spoiling anything. In general it managed to strike this wonderful balance between the comics, the film series, and doing its own very enjoyable thing. So I highly recommend you guys checking it out when you have the time. Especially before seeing MCU’s Blade, even if it’s just on your own time and not a reaction. Although I would love to see a reaction for it if you can, but if not that’s completely fine & understandable too. Also, I feel the same way about both Blade II, and Blade Trinity. Blade II seemed better than 98, and I didn’t really like Trinity. Something that you may or may not be aware of is Trinity wasn’t the last of the Blade franchise. There was a sequel tv show, Blade: The Series. It wasn’t as good as Blade 98 or Blade II, but slightly better than Trinity due to some of the ideas & backstory it covered. So if you do end up watching all the way up to Trinity, you might want to consider checking out the series as well to cover the whole franchise. Which I hope you do if you can, because as even with the worst parts of Blade, there’s still some degrees of fun to be had and if nothing else you’ll appreciate the best parts all the more for their greatness. Regardless, thank you so much for everything that you both do. Keep up the great work and have a wonderful day.

Great reaction. Blade is amazing. You guys HAVE to do Blade 2. I think Blade 2 is a little better.

Besides the two sequels, there's a short lived series that aired on SPIKE TV. Blade in the comics was originally British and immune to vampire bites, instead of his more powerful movie version. More vampire movies I recommend are the Underworld films, From Dusk Til Dawn, John Carpenter's Vampires, 30 Days of Night, Fright Night, Dracula Untold, Interview with the Vampire, Queen of the Damned, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Van Helsing, Bram Stoker's Dracula and Daybreakers

6:34 - "is that Kurt Russell?" 😂😂😂😂😂

A Daywalker is a type of vampire or half-vampire who can walk in the daylight without harm. Blade is a daywalker due to his mother being bitten and turned into a vampire while she was pregnant. He seeks vengeance on Decan Frost, the vamp who killed Blade’s mother and gave him his abilities. Drake is another daywalker. As the first vampire, he is stronger than most of his descendants. Daywalkers still have the vampiric need for blood; Blade staves this off using injections of a special serum, but over time his body builds up a tolerance to it and he has to develop a new one. Whistler states that Blade also ages like a normal human would. Vampires have a much lower body heat signature than humans, particularly apparent when viewed through a heat vision scanner, but Blade gives off the normal heat signature of a human.

The slo-mo jump scene at the hospital and the slo-mo bullet scene when Frost is holding the little girl hostage were pre-The Matrix too, which came out 1 year later. Great shots.

A funny story was that actor Daniel Lodge who played a vampire and Blade sets him on fire.Well,he dislocated his jaw doing one of the scenes in the movie and had to go to the hospital.He said his jaw gets dislocated easily because he had a motorcycle injury from years ago.So,He's in heavy make up and goes to the ER and he couldn't talk and the nurses and everybody were freaking out.One of the producers had go calm people down and explain that Daniel Lodge was in heavy makeup for a film.

oh yes, just watched the whole trilogy last weekend and the second is still one of my favorite movies. i even have a sweet spot for the third because of ryan reynolds beeing ryan reynolds. but yeah in comparison with the first two it falls short. and i can't imagine a PG-13 Blade coming out some time in the future

Fun fact the guy who played quinn had a previous motorcycle accident and it messed up his jaw. If he's hit wrong he needs to have it reset, while in the burn makeup he took a bad hit and needed to go to the hospital. they immediately wanted to treat him for said burns

The first Marvel movie. This one revolutionized the 'superhero' movie. And Snipes... so good. Yes, the 2nd is great, but I think the 3rd is fantastic as well. And it has an early Ryan Reynolds playing Deadpool, I mean Hannibal King...

The technical term for what Blade is is a "Dhampir". This is the official term for a Vampire-human hybrid in Vampire lore. However, in typical Vampire lore, a Dhampir is typically born as a result of SEX between a Vampire male and a Human female.

I am a huge fan of this movie. One of my first favorite vampire movies.

Now this is just sweet. Love you guys!

Yes! One of my favorite Marvel movies. Really excited to see Mahershala Ali's take on the character

his smile when he walks into club in beginning

Fun Fact: The Moscow ending was originally going have the vampire attacking the girl revealed to be Whistler and set up a face-off between Blade and Whistler.

One of the few Marvel films I actually like. I learned a lot from this film.

I used to watch Blade almost religiously as a teenager. It was my favorite film at one point. Instant cult classic.

Oh snaps! This was my first Marvel movie/Mature movie I've watched. Fun Fact: I didn't even know Blade was Marvel until I played Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. In Jill from Resident Evil had her arcade ending, her and Blade were fighting back to back, fighting aliens, vampires and demons. So cool!

Went to the movies 3 separate times to see this with my dad, it was so cool.

FUN FACT: there is a deleted scene where the director plays Morbius at the end of the movie. For the Blade sequel Guillermo del Toro wanted to introduce Morbius, but Sony said no since they had the rights to the Spiderman Universe with included Morbius, but Sony never used Morbius until 2022. Now that Sony and Disney have a agreement it is a possibility that Morbius and Blade will interact soon.

I liked them all as a kid , but I dig the third one more now than I did as a kid. Same goes with a lot of part 3 of films :O I'm guessing one becomes appreciative more as an adult or something lol. Also two of these actors guest starred on What we do in the Shadows ,one of them being Snipes.😉

You know looking back that lil girl blade saved could have been turned into a future vamp fighter, never getting over what she saw trying to track the man who saved her to later join his crusade

I would love to see yall react to the next one. I think it's one of the rare "sequel just as good or even better than the first."

I recommend Daywalkers next. It deals more with your question about what happens if vampires run out of blood

Daybreakers.

I love both of your breakdowns.It was a honor to watch this classic with you both.Stephen Dorf was phenomenal as Frost. It's old school but brilliant. If they were to remake it and give it justice, I would love to see Tim McGraw as Whistler. And if wesley isn't available, I would love to see Idris Elba as Blade.👍🏾👍🏾😊

Back in the golden age of Marvel, Wesley Snipes performance as Blade was 5 Stars, 10/10. My dad showed me this film when I was young, and still one of my most favorite films. Let's hope MCU's Blade with Mahershala Ali playing him will be good.

I once watched this movie with the volume off, just to enjoy Snipes' choice of facial expressions.

Fun fact: Blade did bullet time before The Matrix popularized it. The scene where Blade shoots at Frost when he throws the little girl is the first time Bullet Time was used in a major motion picture, then The Matrix came out and did it better and made it popular.

you should look at daybreakers, great film about the concept of what happens if vampires ruled the world

That opening club scene techno/trance beat is my all time favorite...especially at raves.

Definitely react to Blade 2. It's one of my favorite Marvel movies period.

This is still one of my favorite movies & definitely one of the first Marvel movies that showed how good a comic movie could be (outside of Superman or Batman). The new Blade movie has an uphill battle imo. I doubt it's anywhere near as graphic as the original Blade movies. Blade 2 is the best of all 3 imo. Loved Ron Perlman in Blade 2. Thanks for the reaction. Can't wait to see your reaction to Blade 2. Cheers.

am really so happy real movies instead of anime 24/7 guys thank you! :) am gonna watch the 2nd movie but i'll watch this now first :D

Any body notice the little girl Blade saved was Brenda Song from Suite Life of Zack and Cody 🤣🤣

Thats Traci Lords exporn actress turned actress at the beginning

Blade was one of the first marvel movies. At least the first one to make money. I'm not much for superheroes, but Blade remains one of my favorite movies and marvel characters to this day.

yes in this series you can be born a vampire, vampires are Immortal but they don't instantly stop aging. they age at a super slow rate until they reach maturity at which time they stop aging. so if you see a fully adult vampire that is a PURE BLOOD that means they are truly ancient. in the tv series there was a vampire named Charlotte who looks like an adolescent girl despite being 300 years old

The og punisher too.. That was a classic.

On man! I really want to see y'all's reactions when he cursed out the cops for shooting at him. "Motherfucker, you out of your DAMN mind?!"

This film predates X-Men, but you can see the influences in the leather outfits.

Great reaction guys 👍

Spawn was a year before Blade but Blade was the catalyst for Marvel

Spawn wasn’t under Marvel, that was Image Comics… Todd McFarlane

The actor who was brought to the club would later be a major character in the cop shop the Shield.

This was the first R-rated Marvel comic based movie. When I watched this in 1994 in the theater, nobody had seen this type of dark superhero movie. Wesley Snipes is Blade. Watch all three movies. In 3 you'll get to see Ryan Reynolds before he became the superstar he is today.

“I think this is one of the first main stream comic book movies.” Superman 1978: Am I a joke to you?

Blade was one of my first 5 to 10 movies I got as a DVD back in the day, should of been around the time it was released.
