What Happened To Blade Trinity?

[@wstine79]

I met Dominic Purcell briefly while working as a Production Assistant on Gravedancers a year after Blade Trinity came out. He was a nice guy.

[@robgau2501]

Nice.

[@mikesilva3868]

​@@robgau2501😊agreed

[@TheJuwile]

For real. I don't know why but I felt him to be a humble dude based on some of the tv shows and movies he chose

[@emptyingmyballsinyomommymouth]

This didn't happen, bs story 😂

[@BB-ju2eg]

Every outside of production thing I’ve ever heard about him has been “he was nice”. honestly I’d love to see more of him as an actor now.

[@Nuhanii]

Wesley is not stupid. He saw that the movie was going to be bad and gone rouge. Think about it, your previous experience is Blade 2 with Del Toro! You saw the characters, you saw the set design, you saw the directing and the next thing is this...

[@licmir3663]

You meant “rogue.” Please learn how to write.

[@nhoegler]

It seems pretty obvious that he wasn't happy with the director/ script but mostly he thought his two co-stars were going to replace him in the franchise. And honestly, I don't think his thoughts were completely ridiculous, although he did handle like a child.😢

[@Nuhanii]

@@licmir3663 Im sorry english is my 4th language. Would love to talk to you in German, Turkish and French

[@jacksodudee]

@@licmir3663way to just completely disregard everything else he said as if you didn’t understand what he meant. And then of course he goes on to add it isn’t his first language. Please for the love of god, realize that picking apart a single grammatical error in someone’s statement doesn’t make the content entirely false.

[@eddead4235]

He didnt pay his taxes that is stupid but i love demolition man

[@bensneb360]

This movie is SO “13 year olds in 2004”, the only thing missing is Ryan Reynolds eating cool ranch Doritos, drinking Mountain Dew while playing Tony Hawk skater on his Xbox, while posters of Jessica Alba in a bikini and the band offspring are in the background… that’s why I love it, reminds me of my childhood lol

[@ZaidenKobe]

For sure. I was 12 when it came out and was one of the only rated R movies I was allowed to watch so it’s very nostalgic and refreshing for me

[@ChristianFrates1997]

Funny enough, The Offspring appeared in a Jessica Alba movie called Idle Hands.

[@erroneous6947]

I’m older than you, but you make good points. It does kinda capture that time period.

[@christainmarks106]

This movie pissed me off. It was a far cry from the gritty crime underground feeling of the 1st & the futuristic European underground of the 2nd

[@dycebastion]

The only movie where a human laughs after being staked in the heart. And manages to pull their fake teeth out. With their heart impaled

[@leyenda6149]

what took me out of the movie was the amber hues. the 1st was saturated in blue. The second in reds & blues, but the amber hue in the third made it look like a direct-to-video release

[@ScoutSilico]

The "You should try blinking once in a while" always made me chuckle

[@37Kilo2]

Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds were perfect physical specimens in this movie. Good Lord.😮

[@mikaross4671]

Agreeee. They are both so incredible in this film.

Wesley Snipe brought Ryan Reynolds into Blade as a side character and now, Ryan Reynolds is bringing Wesley Snipe into Deadpool as a side character. Be nice to your co-stars. Never know when you might need them.

[@STAUNCHTV]

That Triple H joke killed me 😂

[@JNR22B]

All I know is that this is the first time we saw Deadpool on screen

[@TimeisReel]

Yep...

[@scrunts666]

I love all the Blade movies, Snipes kicks arse and Ryan was hilarious :D

[@personatodo]

Dominic Purcell is totally the wrong choice for Dracula and Goyer's direction and script was just awful. I can understand why Norrington passed on directing this wreck. Also never trust anything from Patton Oswalt. If Snipes was so bad, Reynolds would never have hired Snipes for Deadpool and Wolverine or push for a Logan style Blade movie for Snipes.

[@silverfilmsofficial]

Snipes has changed a lot since then and like Reynolds said in the tweet he IS marvel daddy and deserves respect. Doesn't immediately mean things said about Blade III's production are untrue, Reynolds is obligated to spread positivity with the position he is in. Things have changed a lot since then

[@full---movie]

Patton killed his wife

[@silverfilmsofficial]

@@full---movie you're a lot of fun at parties I imagine

[@mikeygraves16]

​@full---movie Yeah, I mean, when I look at Patton Oswald I think "Now THAT'S one cold-blooded killer right there!" 😂

[@JWickyJr13]

It's never sat right with me that some of the guys like Patton Oswalt, Ryan Reynolds and others were dogging on Wesley Snipes for what went down with Trinity. Those Blade movies were his babies and Goyer was very much shitting on that with that dogshit story. He knew what was up. He deserved better than that, that movie stands out like a sore thumb when you look at the trilogy as a whole.

[@severussin]

📠

[@TheOnlySomke]

I tell the kids nowadays that theirs only 2 Blade movies.. cuz we dnt speak of trinity

[@bensneb360]

I call the villain “Drake-ula” lol

[@Dra3000]

I understand Wesley's disdain and he doesn't hold his tounge

[@86BarbOmega]

Patton is full of it. No shocker there.

[@shadowone01x99]

The wise ass comedy by Hannibal king in Blade 3 was painfully jarring and out of place in a Blade movie.

[@ChristianFrates1997]

You do realize Ryan Reynolds wouldn’t have been Deadpool without this movie, right?

[@CommanderShepard-wq3wo]

Video starts at 1:01

[@TheOGRetroRonin]

I love All Three Blade movies. New Marvel can eat my ASS with the "New Blade" WESLEY OR BUST! "Old Man Blade"

[@Menaceblue3]

Only been one Blade.... that's only way it's gonna be!

[@darkhymnsfromthecoldnorth]

I hated it when i saw it in the theater, but id give it another shot, though i doubt it holds up well.

[@milosmisic89]

What happened is that Goyer HATED Snipes and didn't like that he had most of the control of the franchise. If you go back to listen to commentary tracks on Blade 2 you'd see that Snipes is on one track with Del Toro because they were on the same page and Goyer was on the other one. Eventually Goyer managed to land director's chair on Trinity and used it as a backdoor pilot to kill off Whistler, Blade and softlaunch his spinoff with Reynolds and Biel. Admittedly Snipes could have handled it better than sulking and smoking weed and actually fought for his movie but he didn't. Maybe he wasn't in position to and just "rebeled" against the whole production. Either way Goyer's direction was awful both on camera and behind it.

[@Hunter_71498]

I'm watching this but Blade Trinity was a good movie lol Edit: There will ever only be one blade, motherfuckers need to stop trying to ice skate up hill.

[@babyvox1110]

To me Jessica was not believable as a fighter, I mean she knocked out three guys wearing motorcycle helmets with one punch.

[@AHeroAlmost]

I still love the Blade trilogy watched them all last year with my GF.. A 4th Blade movie would be awesome & something I never thought about until recently 👀

[@gggaribaldi1]

David S Goyer has failed upwards his entire career.

[@mohdamerulaidilbinrazisahm7317]

Still can't believe how he's still have a career. He didn't even contribute anything for The Dark Knight trilogy. Well, except the Scarecrow mask.

[@wstine79]

It's not a great movie, but Blade Trinity is still a fun bad movie. Ryan Reynolds is a highlight in the film, as well as Triple H and Parker Posey. At least this mess led to a happy ending with Wesley Snipes as BLADE being brought back years later thanks to Ryan.

[@artofchang]

How dare you not mention Martial Arts legend Donnie Yen?

[@GNCD2099]

He was in 2.

[@erroneous6947]

I think that was the second movie. Donnie Yen is a badass.

[@cfssuperhero]

Ryan Reynolds was PAINFUL in this movie. Made it unbearable to watch.

[@JNR22B]

Good he’s Deadpool essentially lol

[@gaglir]

The allegations against Snipes might be true but given that its Patton Oswald making the claims I'm skeptical

[@tomlichnofsky.7048]

[@berettagt88]

Last time I watched Blade trinity, I saw King as Wade Wilson after I saw Deadpool & Deadpool 2 Thanks for sharing.

[@TonyBoomgaarden]

Good video. Loved what you said about Blade being the one that started it all with the Marvel universe and rated r movies. Besides The Incredible Hulk, Marvel couldn't make a successful franchise to save its life until Blade hit the world. I know, I was there and it was glorious. I saw Blade 3 times in the theater. I got up early to get my first DVD of it at Musicland. I loved it then and Iove it now.

[@JoBloHorrorOriginals]

Absolutely!

[@cjewe1z]

Posey is amazing and I'm going to watch it for her (performance).

[@geeshep4836]

I Remember Seeing This In The Cinema Back In 2004 And So Excited To See It But After I Saw Blade: Trinity This Movie Was a Joke. The First And Second Blade Movie Was Way Way Better They Should've Ended The Entire Blade Franchise With Blade 2.

[@Cryogenik_1]

Seriously, What is the Point of Capitalizing Every Word Like Your Sentence is a Book Title?? 🙄🙄🙄

[@ERMediaOfficial]

Real talk, the extended/director's cut of Blade Trinity isn't bad. It's okay.

[@ChristianFrates1997]

This reminds of the SSKTJL for being quite jarring for an otherwise dark franchise.

[@adampellett4917]

Blade: Trinity isn’t great as the original but it’s a guilty pleasure since the good, bad movie; Batman and Robin.

[@JV-ll1cu]

Blade 2 was best of the bunch

[@TheSaltyGooseGarage]

Buff Jessica Biel is reason enough for me to watch this movie

[@yuhyuh9939]

My brother convinced a old lady to buy us tickets for this movie when it came out in theatre’s

[@jolfer1334]

I am still gonna watch this even though I think almost everyone already knows what happened with it

[@HomeOnTheRanges]

I am not defending bad behaviors if there was any BUUUUUUT I get so tired of hearing people joke about Wesley snipes method acting blade. He created what blade is, the comic literally changed to reflect the movies after the first blade. Daniel Day Lewis method acts and gets an Oscar but since Snipes does it for a blade movie we laugh at him? Why?

[@andrewcook1246]

Doing background research on movies will usually help add so much context and explanations lol even if it has nothing to do with the actual movie that was made.

[@Diggy22]

I can’t lie. The only reason I have Blade: Trinity in my collection is because I’m a bit of a completionist, and I had the first two movies. I didn’t even bother to get the unrated edition, because somehow, that was even worse than the theatrical cut. I’m with Wesley on this for several reasons: 1. The script was even worse than the final release. When I saw in the original script that King was supposed to make a Blacula joke to Blade and get punched, I thanked God that joke didn’t make it to the theatrical cut. 2. Abraham Whistler getting killed AGAIN. 3. Making Dominic Purcell a metrosexual Dracula named “Drake” made my head hurt. 4. As a fan of the Nightstalkers comic, I HATED what the movie did to Hannibal King. So yeah, even with all that David Goyer and Patton Oswald have said against Snipes, I can absolutely understand Snipes’ frustrations, and the finished product definitely reflects that. And I said this as far back as 2009: I hated Ryan Reynolds as Hanibal King, but he was perfect to play Deadpool.

[@Jaybird51]

I will die defending this movie except for the fact that Patton Oswalt is in it

[@blvckdvwn5835]

Anyone who's ever met Patton Oswald knows he's very smug.. Wouldn't doubt that he purposely gaslight individuals during filming

[@allnamesaretakenful]

I don't trust s goddamn word that comes out of Patton Oswald's and Goyer's mouths.

[@Mxyz]

i totally forgot about Finders Fee, thank you for that. great movie.

[@pong86r]

Fell in love with Parker Posey during Henry Fool...mmph! yep!

[@gateofbabylon9177]

Way back in the early 2010's there was all this internet talk about how Wesley was a giant dick and was difficult to work with. 10 years later though it started circulating Wesley's side of the story. I don't remember all the details but I remember reading a reddit post about it that was basically summarized as legal payment disputes so of course Wesley was going to be difficult as he wasn't getting paid or something; it also said that most of the accusations against Wesley were all damage control to paint him as the bad guy/someone difficult. Wish I still had that post somewhere

[@JoshAintSoCool]

I honestly love the 3rd. Ryan Reynolds and Jessica biel added really likable characters. It was the campiest of them all of course. But It was still a good watch. Patton Oswalt seemed the most out of place overall.

[@fanalittletruthincog8168]

So basically...you were the man...and now...he is the man and you need HIM now! It's okay....stay humble good people! Much more to come!

[@yosoyringodesanantonio8405]

20 years later: this third Installment exists and the production is a Disaster with Ryan Reynolds (before he was cool as Deadpool) and the CG Eyes! And Patton Oswalt Discussing about what’s like doing blade 3

[@karl_alan]

Love this movie. Probably the most rewarchable of the 3

[@ChristianFrates1997]

Because of the comedy?

[@karl_alan]

@@ChristianFrates1997 mostly. In general the comedy, and how it moves through the beats of the film, make it kind of great to have on in the background. In the first film, every scene is dramatic and important to establishing the world. In the second, everything is such a mood, and quickly jumps from one story beat to the next so you have to keep up. Then, in the 3rd one, there's a scene where dracula goes to hot topic, and vamps wearing spacesuits flip off the sun, the whole thing about the media campaign against Blade is set up in like 4 scenes before happening, and there are endless montages of Ryan Reynolds jokes. It doesn't take itself too serious, and everything's so over the top & telegraphed that it doesn't matter if you're kinda mindlessly watching it, but it's still fun and has a plot too....

[@NaglfarCommando]

I dont care.. I like Trinity.

[@abizarreuser9067]

Bro is the problem

[@JV-ll1cu]

From the Matrix

[@BTSmith-lp5pe]

I feel like I'm one of like two fans of Blade: Trinity xD, that said it is a mess of a movie that kind of felt too condensed and would have been better as a series of movies or as a netflix show with the same cast.

[@dustinburkhart8526]

Cool video. Blade is the best superhero even in Spider-Man from the 90s.

[@joedavis376]

It’s a major step down from the first two movies. It has its moments though.

[@BB-ju2eg]

If marvel was smart, they would do a first movie about Blade growing up with whistler throughout the years with a common through line/villan . And then a sequel to bade 3 with a conclusion to the prequel plot.

[@ec6933]

I saw this in 2004 at 16 and always thought it was excellent idk why people hate it so much

because it's dogshit

[@guadalupegranados8876]

Oh my god I wish I was there to witness the drama.

[@vodkajaybulls]

Yo! Imo. That blade trinity soundtrack was epic 🔥🔥🔥 tho.

[@rustedbeetle]

Just go watch the first two films. I think it peaked with Blade 2, but I am a fan of del Toro and Ron Perlman.

[@jonnybarnard8578]

I know this is only somewhat related to the overall video, but if anyone hasn't seen Ryan Reynolds in the movie Voices, please do yourself a favor, it's a great movie.

[@noahknight4039]

Mahershala Ali is 50 and likely wasn’t chosen to play Blade past the Secret Wars reboot. So why not give Blade one last big send off with another movie. Honestly it’d be cool to have Blade, Nick Cage Ghost Rider and Leto’s Morbius as the Midnight Sons. Morbius movie IMO was actually pretty good. The powers and design was better than Morbius in the comics. And it was definitely better than Venom 2 and Amazing Spider-man 2. Which isn’t saying much but people acted like It was the worse movie they ever seen.

[@thesoundoflife3128]

"Which isn’t saying much but people acted like It was the worse movie they ever seen." People's on the internet just love to ride on the hate bandwagon. Same goes to Blade Trinity. I don't think it is as bad as most people would have thought. It is not the best but enjoyable and definitely not the worse sequel ever.

[@dizzyrocket8]

They should do a blade and Constantine buddy cop movie. Snipes and Keanu would kill it

[@BOBFATHER1986]

Jessica Biel was the star of Blade Trinity. The actors weren’t the problem, the writers and directors were.

Finders Fee was good. It's the only movie I can think of that called for Ryan Reynolds to crack a liquor bottle over the great now late James Earl Jones. It also has the most unexpected director: Jeff Probst (yes, the Survivor host).

"Criminal" - He avoided paying taxes. Pretty sure every Disney exec does the same, just that they use legal loopholes.

Criminal? He didn’t pay taxes 😂😂 Robert downy has an actual arrest history and has done prison time 😂😂

[@AlSemz]

Wesley snipes in character as Blade directing Jessica Biel in the scene as a scene in the movie is one of the best likely un-intentional meta scenes ever lol. "USE IT!" Reynolds dead panning Snipes the entire movie is actually a genius choice and its one of the few things that worked in the film. Where Blade is as after Whistlers death, he would just be like fuck this guy, so Snipes played it excellent regardless if it was un-intentional on his part.

[@lenawilliams539]

I liked it.

[@jeremebonesaw]

The first blade was Great. Blade 2 was decent. Had cool ideas, but I found that they gave him more of a traditional vampire coat with the inner red material cheesy and too much cgi. Trinity was poorly written and a parody of itself at points with Ryan R. Making too many jokes, taking away from the movie .

[@letsstartapeaceriot]

I loved this movie, no issues at all.

[@carlredbird3054]

More proof of ryan reynolds failing upwards. Terrible actor that can only scrape by on completely forgettable trash.they literally made this movie to hitch a snarky dweeb Ryan into an already popular blade. They gave Wesley snipes no storyline and no lines in order to prop up Ryan with tons of lame lines and actions

[@dustincongello5802]

Wait You say that Jessica biel got so good with a bow and arrow that when told to shoot towards the camera she hit the camera lens. Wouldn't that mean she miss where she was aiming?. I don't think she hit the lens on purpose. That means she missed her target. If she was that good she would have been able o shoot close to the camera without hitting it. Unless they told her to shoot the lens and she did. That would make her that good..but I'm sure she is better then I am so maybe I don't know what I am talking about

[@featherguardian6023]

I have to say this Movie is pretty Weak, not the Worst of Marvel’s Films but when you add Dracula and Ryan Reynolds and it didn’t work you know they failed in something, Wesley Snipes was the only good thing about it but the Story and his Differences with Ryan and that last scene in the Hospital was confirmed that Snipes was so stubborn to open his Eyes that they CGI the Hell out of It adds Creative Differences that you might think Trinity was a Parody Film, you should watch all of the mulan Movies and Superhero Movie Next
