Love interest? 😂 you really need to go back and read the stories about the production of this film.

[@Mightymick114]

Wesley snipes is 5\9 most action stars in Hollywood are short also the guy playing Dracula in this is Australian and went on to star in legends of tomorrow

[@Mightymick114]

The human blood bank sub-plot was going to tie in with the next movie but it was cancelled after blade 3 flopped at the box office

[@Dragonboidm8]

Have you covered the movie Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale? It came out in 2004. It may be a nice edition to your Halloween watching.

[@reacttomoviesvideosreactio4162]

Watch Marvel's Ghost rider movie

[@ronnyschedler24285]

So you watched the Director's Cut. The Cinematic version ends with Drake turning into Blade and then at the Autopsy back to himself. Much better ending imo.

[@samkresil6011]

The DVD I have actually has the extended ending where Drake actually stays dead after changing back with a bit of extra narration from Ryan Reynolds which cuts to that final shot of Blade riding off on his bike. The original ending I thought was a bit confusing because I thought Blade was always at the morgue and he went back to hunting vampires again shortly after.

[@docodemous]

​@@samkresil6011For me the endings kept swapping between the theatrical and extended version on the dvd I owned

[@MorrisB3]

I love the original ending.

[@samkresil6011]

@@docodemous I think the other ending I checked out (the one where Drake stays dead) must've been in the theatrical version because I think I used to watch the extended version first anyway

This is the film that started Ryan Reynolds' obsession with Deadpool. A crew member on Blade Trinity introduced him to the Deadpool comics.

[@DavidLopez-qi8hb]

Ryan Reynolds is just going to Ryan Reynolds in everything he does.

[@IamKnucks]

Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds in pretty much every movie in my opinion. The fact that that's similar to Deadpool is a coincidence. He is well cast as Deadpool.

[@TimedRevolver]

This movie is what led to him pursuing Deadpool. Also, he was phenomenal in 'School of Life'. Easily his best acting.

[@cavaughngrace1488]

He wasn't Deadpool in The Amityville horror

[@cobbler88]

Yes. He's basically Aubrey Plaza if you're talking about demonstrated range. 😅

[@duncansolloway2497]

JESSICA BIEL trained w/ an olympic archer for this role

I didn't know that!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@batbrick3949]

She became so good at it that, when told by the director to fire towards the camera, she (unintentionally) shot the arrow through the camera lens, destroying the camera.

[@AndrewSmoot]

@@batbrick3949 Additional detail, the camera and operator were behind protective glass, the glass had a hole in it so the camera had a clear view without glare from the protective glass, which is what Jessica shot through, in turn destroying the camera lens.

[@k.delpino1124]

Blade Trinity was David S. Goyer's 2nd film as director. He was the main screenwriter of the entire trilogy. Blade debuting in The Tomb of Dracula comics (1973) was to be one of many foes for The Prince of Darkness himself. It was only right that the villain of this film would Dracula as Blade's ultimate challenge. The original vision was post-apocalyptic with Dracula's return to power. Instead it was kept modern and added characters (Nightstalkers) from those comics. Dracula/Drake was depleased with how vampires were more loved than feared, like they weren't a threat anymore and i liked that. The extended cut is a bit better than the theatrical version plus 2 alternate endings that were interesting. Ryan Reynolds as Hannibal King was much different than the comics and behind the scenes, the Deadpool character was actually mentioned to RR and the rest was history. Jessica Biel aka Wifey of J.T. as Abigail Whistler was based on Rachel Van Helsing from the comics as an similar legacy connection. Still has the tone of the other films. Less wire work, more hardcore fighting and everyone is in amazing shape for this one. The storyline is cool, score/soundtrack are both good. But it's seen as the worse for a reason. It all began behind the scenes. Controversy with how the film was written and directed. Also leading to on-set altercations, contractual and legal battles with the studios, Wesley's disapproval with the process of it being made. The movie didn't flop, but even some audiences weren't pleased neither. Blade had the first-ever Marvel original series for mature audiences, pre-Netflix. Ran 1 season (13 episodes) om Spike tv, set in the same universe as the trilogy following the events of Trinity. Even if Trinity was considered the worse, Goyer as an filmmaker bounced back with creating the screenstory for The Dark Knight Trilogy and co-writing Batman Begins with Christopher Nolan.

[@Drew1701D]

You needed to ask Siri how tall Wesley Snipes is....and he is 5' 9

[@TrentRushton]

You might like the Underworld series if you liked this series

[@supermoogle07]

Fun fact. Payton Oswalt Who played the “virgin” guy in the team actually goes on to play quintuplets in the MCU agents of shield, a troll in eternals, and even some animated characters like M.O.D.O.K and uncle Ben.

[@cobbler88]

And somewhere in there he found time to possibly be involved in the death of his wife, then remarry a little more than a year later!

[@mutedmayday]

Rest in peace, Whistler. Kris Kristofferson passed away yesterday (September 28th).

[@silverjago]

Whistler once told Blade about his family but it goes unnoticed.

[@chaynebutler9572]

The music, as they were running through the lobby, was the instrumental-version of "A Summer Place," which saw a resurgence of popularity after Stephen King's "Rose Red" was shown on TV.

[@aTofuJunkie]

The demonic being, Dracula, is played by Dominic Purcell, an Australian Actor known for the show "Prison Break". Really good actor.

[@surgemaestro7355]

I'll always remember him from John Doe.

[@T-ON-x5h]

Thanks Mary two parts of a trilogy dropped on youtube in one week no other reactors ever do that

[@officersquidman]

My favorite piece of trivia about this movie: Jessica Biel became an Olympic-class archer and wound up destroying a VERY expensive camera. They set up for her to shoot straight at the camera with a shield in place, with a 2-inch (≈5cm) hole for the lens, and told her to aim at the hole since there was no way she'd hit it. Then she did. That take is on the blooper reel, you see her loose, then the image gets screwy, but you can make out her slapping a hand over her mouth in horror.

[@sodapop1850]

It's not "The" Hannibal King. His first name is Hannibal and his last name is King. He's an actual character from Marvel Comics.

[@gomikmay]

[@rubenarmstrong262]

That baby slow lol there is definitely not a"The"

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

Guillermo del Toro should’ve directed this movie as well. The more I see Ryan Reynolds in older movies the more I realize he just has been Deadpool without the costume this whole time. Drake wasn’t really a villain he was just pissed about being woken up

[@valentecarrillo4259]

They could have waited for Guillermo after Hellboy. But I guess he would have been too busy focusing on Hellboy 2.

Ryan said that because of this character is why he was sought after to be Deadpool. And then after that he read several Deadpool comics and fell in love with the character.

I stand by Dominic Purcell being a good choice for Dracula. But then, I'm a fan of his work, so...

[@thaistomp]

He was awesome as Drake.

[@jerodast]

You're not alone! This is not the kind of vampire movie where we need Timothy f***ing Chalemet as the king of vampires haha. I think people felt intuitively that the writing wasn't quite there and blamed it on the actor.

[@GreatBocaj]

A lot of us movie nerds recognized Ryan Reynolds' potential for Deadpool after his feature film, Van Wilder. Oh, I definitely recommend the film The In-Laws as well.

[@thebkg]

That's because RR grew up reading and idolizing DP. His own personality developed that same snarky raunchy humor. RR wasn't the best actor for DP, he was The Only actor in Hollywood that could give us a true comic accurate DP.

[@GreatBocaj]

@thebkg That's cool. I didn't know that he was so into DP. Damn right, he was the only actor!

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

​@@GreatBocajHe wasn't. That story is completely made up...

[@ДимчоДимов-ж7е]

​@@thebkg I can see Sam Rockwell as a comic accurate DP.

[@thebkg]

@@ДимчоДимов-ж7е Sam Rockwell's style comes off too whiney for DP. I'm not knocking Sam, I love his acting. But I can't agree that DP would be a right fit.

[@bellantwain21]

This movie was good love the video Mary stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way

[@princeoftonga]

Not the strongest of the trilogy but Ryan Reynolds absolutely steals every scene he’s in.

[@benschultz1784]

This is considered the Batman and Robin of Marvel movies. Jarko is played by WWE superstar (and current CEO) Paul Levesque, aka Triple H.

[@diegoluna2549]

During filming, Wesley himself had felt that he didn't want to be on the set of Blade 3 with Ryan, because he felt it was quite childish. Not taking every moment of a take seriously, as he found it difficult to feel it. And now we know that their differences were put aside after seeing them in Deadpool and Wolverine!!! Even though part 3 i flawed, I love seeing Awesome in action as Blade. Marry, you're really cool.❤

[@Apathy293]

They never actually disliked each other, production issues aside. Reynolds has been saying for a while now it was just a joke and Snipes confirmed it in recent interviews

[@rydbthatsme]

So many reactors have said Night Crawlers🤣

[@BiggestDawgEver]

Hi Mary, I think you'll agree, this movie had a lot of good ideas with very few of them executed very well. The director, David S. Goyer was the primary screenwriter on all three films, but this was his first directing gig. Legend has it that Wesley Snipes was pretty upset that he was sharing the spotlight with two characters that were being set up for a spin-off film. At the time, Ryan Reynolds said that he never met Wesley Snipes, but he worked with Blade. Wesley was apparently a total asshole to him the entire time and never broke character. It was also said that Snipes was openly revolting against David Goyer and refused to come out of his trailer unless it was for essential close-ups. The bare minimum required to fulfill his contract. Snipes' stunt double was in pretty much every scene that wasn't a close-up. This may have negatively affected the final film, given the star was refusing to co-operate. Snipes refused to promote the film as well, and you can tell this all must be largely true because he was conspicuously absent from allmthe special features on the DVD. It's amazing that Ryan Reynolds asked Snipes to reprise the role of Blade, but it shows Ryan isn't at all petty. In press for Deadpool & Wolverine, Snipes and Reynolds are acti g likenone of this happened. Clearly trying to resuscitate Snipes' flagging career. There was just too much evidence surrounding the release of Blade Trinity to support the revisionist history they are peddling now.

[@rickpetersen1745]

Mary the Best Vampire movie series is Underworld. Vampires and Werewolves battling it out with a Great love story.

Whistler is a well experienced truck driver ^^

[@williamrosmer8381]

the tattoos are branding, to show who which familiar belongs to

And so other vampires don't try to feed on them.

[@phillipchoate550]

an AMAAAAAZING vampire franchise that i think has for yrs been overlooked like on a disrespectful level is the underworld franchise. and kate beckinsale deserves every flower in every garden in the world especially fror her tole in pearl harbor

[@melissawinn996]

I'm not gonna lie but blade Trinity is actually my All time favorite ☺️💗

[@thaistomp]

It's the best :)

[@theaikidoka]

Whilst Drake is not an interesting antagonist, I think they actually did a smart thing by not having the long-hair, long-features, seductive type of look for him. This works better in a modern setting, and he's a shape-shifter anyway, so a 'look' is just what he prefers at the time.

[@christophersimmons8709]

Another fantastic reaction Mary ❤❤😁😁.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Speaking of Vampires, I recommend From Dusk Till Dawn trilogy. For October Feast.

[@WilliamLucas-hy8mx]

Harvey Keitel is h0t in the first one

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

Love blade

[@SharpDesign]

Ryan Reynolds learned about the character Deadpool from a rival executive who sent him Deadpool comics. The executive told Reynolds that he was the only actor who could play Deadpool if a movie was ever made.

[@nilesstark]

Fun Fact: While working on the set, Ryan Reynolds was told by a crew member that his performance as Hannibal King reminded them of Deadpool and he read a few comics and got the idea of one day wanting to portray Deadpool.

[@texasrattlesnake31637]

Another good movie & reaction Mary!

[@MorrisB3]

Underrated. Despite Wesley Snipes notoriously upset with the director and cast over the comedy direction, Blade 3 is how Ryan Reynolds even heard about Deadpool. An exec sent comics, one of which Deadpool called himself a cross between Ryan Reynolds and a shar pei. That hooked him. Lol. I love the soundtrack as well. ❤

[@timephire]

After you watch Deadpool & Wolverine please look up the backstory of these movies.

[@bensneb360]

I saw this movie on TV at my uncles when I was about 12 or 13 (perfect age for the film) and I’ve always had a soft spot for it since I bonded with my uncle over it and it was the first Blade movie I ever saw

[@mamandes]

Ryan was in a ton of comedies during this time, and this wise-cracking troublemaker was basically his character in all of them. He's said he's been a fan of Deadpool for a long time, and he pushed so hard to play the character and to get a legit Deadpool movie made. So, his portrayal of Deadpool is just the culmination of all that, and, while I understand when folks make the comparison between his portrayals of Wade and Hannibal, it's all just Ryan being Ryan.

[@BrandonHernandez-tg5ql]

This is my favorite Blade movie!!

[@susanesquer1520]

Good job Mary!

[@evanflynn4680]

"The bodies would be rotting at this point." It takes more than a few minutes for bodies to decompose. She should be able to smell the blood, though. Sometimes, people lose control of their bowels and bladder when they die, so she'd be able to smell that if it happened.

[@Nigelb22]

Dracula Untold is a pretty good movie, Scary Cherry coming up

[@TimedRevolver]

I second this. So annoyed Universal didn't use it as the basis of their new monsterverse. Luke Evans was a perfect 'larger universe' Dracula.

[@williamflores7081]

According to a past interview with Reynolds, this was the film when an exec told him if they ever make a live action Deadpool, he is the one that should play Deadpool

[@nickmiller344]

He seemed evil at the end because it was actually Dracula shapeshifted into Blade. They do a bad job at relaying that info though. So Dracula still alive.

[@samkresil6011]

I also watched this film blind without reading anything about it being bad because I actually thought this was ok when I saw it. It wasn't until afterwards that I also learned that not only was Weasley Snipes difficult to work with (as he didn't get along the director and even refused to come out of his trailer so he could get high on weed) but he also didn't get along with Ryan Reynolds as he was also racist towards him at one point, though its amazing that the two actors actually made up again 20 years later when it came to Deadpool & Wolverine.

[@Xavian-s3l]

"He's got the same humor as Deadpool." 😂 Ryan said this movie is kind of the reason he got the role of Deadpool. They saw Deadpool in Hannibal King.

[@rcardoso1680]

Fun fact: Dracula is also a Marvel character (obviously based on the legend) and many versions dont look the classical version. In this movie they wanted one that looked like a warrior, and not the "Count" look

[@PurpleLugia]

36:08 The "last gift" Drake said to Blade after their fight was to shapeshift into him so Blade could escape while the cops think they captured Blade; it happened in the rotating shot of them. In the autopsy room there should have been a moment when the doctors touched a patch of skin and it made Drake transform back to his default human form to confirm what happened. (According to another comment there's different endings depending on which release you watch)

[@K_R_E_L_L]

Hey mary the song you liked while Abigail was training with her bow is called starting over by the crystal method. Also i really enjoyed the reaction, it was a lot of fun.

[@johnbuchanon7717]

Mary, always enjoy your analysis and you cited what a lot of folks felt about that movie at the time. Ryan Reynolds can overwhelm scenes with his personality. I read somewhere Wesley Snipes would occasionally be annoyed by it. I notice you haven't reacted to "National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002)", Reynolds' breakout movie. You should; it shows he was the way he is right out of the gate, love him or not. Great reaction Mary!

[@PapasitoBustamante2585]

I love all 3 movies!

[@Raptorrex65]

The song was the theme song for A Summer Place if I'm mistaken.

[@javelldunn3379]

Love watching blade

[@RoGueNavy]

Gotta love any movie with Ryan Reynolds, Patton Oswalt and Natasha Lyonne.

[@Shadowdragon_TV]

The reason he doesn't resemble what we know as Dracula is because this one originated in Mesopotamia, instead of the usual Romania. Instead of a vampire of class, Drake is more a vampire who was a warrior. Hence, why he's so disgusted by what the vampires of the modern era have become.

[@flaminggmonkeyss]

the cast still makes this movie fun imo

[@buddah1221]

the human blood bank thing was originally going to be on the first movie and they even show one for a quick second at the very beginning before the rave scene

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

Maybe try searching how tall Wesley Snipes is??

[@shaunbryan3421]

The best thing about Blade 3 is the fact that Jessica was doing a stunt shot at a 50k camera that had protective glass with a two inch square opening. I don't remember the actual distance but I know it was a respectable kill shot

[@robertjones705]

You got the vampire nails 😂

[@Edd25164605]

The familiars have the tattoos to show they are the property of a vampire, so other vampires won't feed on them.

[@jacobaarum]

About time someone reacting to Blade: Trinity watched the director’s cut.

[@LucVasAbb]

If you look the end scene when Blade was laying down, "dead", and open his eyes, you will realize that it was made digitally (his eyes). The actor didn't want that ending and they added it in anyway.

[@Ghost8386]

RIP, Kris Kristofferson

[@Garrie2909]

I didn't even know there was a different version of this movie the one I saw is when Drake turns into Blade to help him and then turns back into Drake when they go to cut him up

[@felipecarvalho1791]

Blade makes the First superhero landing ever

[@dnish6673]

Blade doing a flip before catching the baby was a little extra.

[@DrgnVid17]

Oh yeah. Hannibal King in the books was a mouthy sarcastic joker as well. He was designed to be similar to Dead Pool.

[@Exaris79]

Try to find the Behind The Scenes for this movie. Ryan buffed up for this movie instead of the usual RomCom movies. This is his first action movie. He definitely paid back Wesley Snipes in the Deadpool3 movie. As for Jessica Biel, she had basic archery training for this movie but she did so well that she might as well be considered at expert level after filming this movie.

[@RicoRaynn]

To this day, Jessica Biel in this role still makes me think, "What a bad ass."

I watched, "7th Heaven", too. Ruthie was my favorite. You should check out, "The Fantastic Four: The Rise Of The Silver Surfer". After, "Daredevil", Jennifer Garner had her very own stand up, "Elektra", film. Ryan Reynolds did three superhero movies. This was his first. Then the DC film, "Green Lantern" & the, "Deadpool", films. The big blonde vampire is WWE Superstar, Triple H. ✌️❤️🌹
