@@TommyMartensson666 Technically, that wasn't slow motion. That was NO motion from the characters, all frozen in time as the camera moved. For the Matrix, to have the camera move around a MOVING character, showing it all in slow mo, was a novelty that required them to invent a new technique, which required setting up a full circle of individual cameras and then combining the footage of all of them. It was quite brilliant actually. Today, it would just be done in CGI.

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.

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.

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.

[@alasdairmacleod7769]

Finally Alyska..... watching 'Blade"🥰......I remember watching this for the first time when I was about 10, turning 30 later this year, still my all time favourite vampire movie, plus my all time favourite marvel movie outside the MCU. Blade basically saved Marvel from bankruptcy. I know many others in the comments will point this out as well.

[@Lopez03Eduardo.]

In a sense the movie led to the boom of Marvel Comics-based movies. 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).

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.

He can kill hordes of them because all he does with his life is fight training and weapons development specifically geared toward eliminating vampires. That plus the fact that he doesn't have their disadvantages gives him the edge in most fights.

[@patrickcromwell7554]

@@aperson4640 Constantly getting killed by normal vamps you say. I disagree. Frost has SHOWN he's not a "normal" Vamp. He IS smarter and stronger than most others. 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.

I thoroughly enjoyed the character of Quinn (played by Donal Logue). In the original script he only had like 2 or 3 lines throughout the whole movie, but Donal was so charismatic on set and had good chemistry with both Snipes and Stephen Dorff that they wrote some more lines for him and even let him ad-lib some bits. He's a great actor. He was in the series Copper for a season.

21:23 I love Kris Kristofferson's performance as Whistler.

[@AndrewForte-kh3zi]

Wesley Snipes is also an accomplished martial artist. He is a black belt in three disciplines Kung Fu, karate, and capoira.

[@lonewanderer3456]

Best Marvel movie IMHO. Wesley Snipes was the perfect Blade, no re-boot is going to top his performance, no matter how much modern CGI they throw at it.

[@adamparker43]

This film is so fun! Awesome choice for a reaction!

[@aikighost]

There was a Blade TV series back in the day written by David S Goyer who wrote all 3 blade movies (as well as the classic Dark City & the Nolan Batman movies), I really enjoyed it though it only ran for 1 season.

[@JDoe-gf5oz]

The rapper they used was awful compared to Snipes.

Fun Fact 5: Originally, Blade had his sword doused in the chemical instead using the syringes so that everytime he wounded a vampire they would explode this concept would have fit in the final confrontation where Blade's mother would still be alive and Frost would hold her in front as a shield. Blade would appear to stay his hand and Frost would taunt Blade saying "See you're too human. Too human." But Blade would say "It's because I'm human I can do THIS." And he would then stab them both killing them.

27:36 Frost at that very moment would appear as a blur to everyone to dodge those bullets as bullets travel on average 2,700 feet per second or 3,000 kilometres an hour,more than twice the speed of sound, at just feet away that's very impressive as not every vampire could travel at those speeds 🤔

Wes put BLADE and MARVEL on the map! THERE IS ONLY ONE BLADE!!!!!

[@Bigbossman303]

Wesley open the door for marvel movies to exist

[@UltimateThanos]

Whistler is played by country singer and songwriter Kris Kristofferson. We all owe it to him to listen to at least one of his songs, I think.

[@AlexisTheDragon]

The vampires are strong in this, infact they're near invincible to normal means of death except decapitation. BUT, garlic and silver and the sun turn them to ash like oil being touched by a match, they just disappear, it's not just a weakness, it's an EXTREME weakness, so all blades weapons are silver.

[@jrprince6951]

He was the lead role in a marvel movie not the other black panther movie.

[@dylanhopkins5934]

27:47 You're the first person I've heard say get Frost instead of the kid and the child will be fine!😂Blade is a dope movie! Always entertaining. You should definitely watch the next one! Its my favorite of the series!

[@chrisszostek6700]

This movie is very rewatchable which is the best thing a movie can do

[@shainewhite2781]

Its crazy that this movie is 25 years old! Denzel Washington, Michael Jai White, and Laurence Fishburne were considered for the role of Blade before Wesley Snipes was picked.

[@seventeen-t2h]

Michael Jai white would have been amazing i can just picture it now

[@drumaticpageofmusic4148]

@@seventeen-t2hI’d love to see him as Deathstroke

[@seventeen-t2h]

@@drumaticpageofmusic4148 hes got a great physique and is a master in martial arts he would be perfect for the role, he is old now but he would be good

[@myklegue3968]

his sidekick/helper is country superstar Kris Kristofferson who wrote many of the biggest music hits of the 70's 80's etc...my favorite was always Me & Bobby Mcgee as covered by Janis Joplin!!

[@Tbcycoji]

There is an enhanced bass version of the track played at the beginning that hits harder than blade himself. 😂

[@mageeaaron2624]

41:02 Let the battle begin! 🙏🏽💪

[@Kelly_Yamaguchi_95]

There is a deleted scene where Blade actually sees Morbis on top of a building.

[@Berg126]

I saw all 3 in the theater, blade was groundbreaking, it made all the MCU universe possible

[@rodgill9376]

Homie slapped Deacon harder than Will Smith slapping Chris Rock lol

[@TheEbbemonster]

Thanks for a great video! It is so much fun seing someone react to some of our favourite cult movies ❤

[@christopher_silver]

3:53 My older sister showed this movie to me when I was 4 years old, I was traumatized💀and it made really afraid of the dark as a kid

[@ineptgamer3814]

I saw both Blade and The Matrix in the cinema as a teenager and they quickly became my favourite films. In recent times, I've come to really appreciate the second films of both trilogies alot more and if you did indeed enjoy this, then I definitely recommend Blade 2. It's bigger, better & badder, LOL.

[@nilesstark]

Fun Fact 4: One original idea for the Moscow scene that you wouldn't see the vampire that was speaking russian. But when Blade appeared to confront him, he would light a cigarette and the lightning would reveal the vampire to be Whistler setting up a face off before cutting to black.

[@ChrisReise]

33:34 I'm loving this reaction so far. I hope you continue to watch the trilogy. There is also a series that follows...it takes place after the third one, but a different person plays Blade...he still pretty good though.

[@thomasjoychild4962]

Nice to see someone else who's see the series.

[@singleasasin]

22:50 Well, he's a vampire, so, more powerful than a normal human ! ... 😊👍

[@Samgreen90]

(At 7:30) I was LMFAO when Wesley Snipes was ranting at the racist cops.
