Works for any parents. Turn the fear into aggression, it's how Heroes fight Villains; they fear, but they do not rid themselves of that fear, they simply learn to overcome it. It's the same with with Military Training... you don't learn to get rid of your fears, and doubts, you simply learn to Adapt & Overcome. The only people that don't use anger, fear, etc to their advantage, are those that peacefully sleep in the dark without fear of what might dwell therein, or fools that don't understand why we fear, or anger. In this case, if she broke down, and did not use the anger to her advantage, she'd simply slip into despair... and refuse to fight on against her enemies.
@@wolfrainexxx I will not fear. Fear is the mind killer. It is the little death that brings total obliteration. I face my back to fear, and when my mind's eye turns to see where the fear was, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Blade 1 :"How can you tell? By the way they move, the way they SMELL!" Blade Trinity: Blade couldn't tell that the guy he shot wasn't a vampire. And this movie was directed by the man who wrote the first Blade movie. W...T...F????
@@northwindkey wow, what a fucking lying sack of shit Goyer is. Snipes didn't rewrite any dialogue. The reason why Snipes was pissed off in the first place was because of the shit Goyer wrote. If Snipes rewrote the movie the way he wanted to, he wouldn't have been so pissed during production. Goyer's trying to save his own ass, but it's not gonna work. The guy was also responsible for how shit the ghost rider movies were. He also caused the problems of MoS and BvS.
Yeah... that's the theatrical ending. The ending Doug used was the alternate ending from the extended cut of the film. However, Doug was mistaken when he described it- it really was Blade attacking the doctors, and it is left vague whether or not he feeds on them. The idea was that he might finally be giving into his bloodthirst.
Fun fact, that scene where he screams like a psycho after reacting to Whistler's death is only on the unrated cut. In both the theatrical and television cut of the film its shortened down to Blade just snarling once and then crouching with his sword.
Ahh! That makes sense... I never saw the unrated version younger, just in theaters and on TV... Was wondering why the goofiness wasn't seared into my brain yet... Thankfully, it is now... Appreciate the clarification. TY.
Is that why I remember the film ending VERY differently with Dracula dying, but making his corpse look like Blade but it reverts to his normal form right before the humans do an autopsy on him?
Also, theatrical version I saw had ending with Blade turning into Dracula (dead Dracula). It can be assumed that Dracula did Blade one last favor by shapeshifting into him to dupe the authorities (as they wanted Blade's body to examine) while the good guys take unconscious Blade into safety. It's the reason why at the end of the vid where NC search the ending explanation, 'Dracula turning into Blade' came up to confuse him even more. Last monologue by Ryan Reynolds was the same. As for the version NC used in the vid, basically same meaning. Blade looked to be dead, captured, but he wasn't, woke up (gain consciousness), and he left (not participate in) the human world, for now, until he decides to come back to punish the vampires or the human lackeys who are deep down in the society.
Fun Fact: This movie has an alternate ending (which I'm legit surprised you didn't bring up...). When aired on TV, what happens is that Reynolds starts narrating sooner and when the doctors try to cut into "Blade", the body shifts into an unconscious/dead Dracula, which actually kinda ties in better with Drac's dialog beforehand. The narration is also different, but you still have that very last scene with Blade riding off into the night on his motorcycle. Not sure which one is meant to be the true ending, but it's a thing that exists.
My DVD (Ohio, USA) has the Dracula turning into blade ending. Was the ending in this video the original theatrical ending and they switched it because it was just that horrible?
The most unbelievable thing in this movie is the fact that Dracula, who has been entombed for centuries can speak perfect modern day English like an American.
in most vampire lore Vampires are able to ingest knowledge along with blood. so when they consume blood from someone they will learn the persons language
During Whistler's death Director: Ok Wes I want you to do the Darth Vader nooooo, do a squat and then look quickly to the left like you're a dog who's spotted a squirrel
I'm surprised you didn't go into the behind the scenes drama of this movie. Wesley Snipes and David S Goyer had such a falling out over this movie that Snipes locked himself in his trailer for several days. When he finally emerged, he would only communicated with Goyer via post it notes.
@Limau Purut it's hard to say what really happened, from what other people involved say, snipes was fairly unprofessional himself on-set, and actors often had to adlib around him. Don't get me wrong, I love wesley snipes as an actor, and I'd love to see him cast as Joker in a Batman film one day (look at demolition man and tell me I'm wrong), but the man has a reputation for having an ego problem and for being unprofessional...
@@yeldarb141983 apparently back in that time he did have a huge ego. But he's been kind of laying low ever since he got out of prison and hasn't really caused any kind of trouble.
They also cut Wesley out of a lot of the decision making process, which is an issue seeing as he was one of the producers. The film was basically used to try and set up a Nightstalkers spinoff, which would've bombed
@Limau Purut The director for Trinity was the writer for all three movies. I really don't think Trinity is as bad as the Critic claims. It's just tonally different than the first two. It's brighter and has more jokes, which compared to the first two does sound terrible, but on it's own it's a decent movie. And I loved Parker Posey and her Spice.
He forgot the part where they had to CGI Wesley Snipes opening his eyes because he refused to on the count that he and the directer didn't see eye to eye.
It was because he didn't want to wear the contacts as they irritated his eyes. That's why he where's the shades much more in this movie then the other two.
@@samkresil6011 Yeah? Snipes accused Goyer of racism and nearly strangled him while exclusively referring to Ryan Reynolds as a “cracker” the entire filming process. Reynold’s line “he doesn’t like me, does he?” was ad-libbed and likely a personal jab at Snipes. And whenever any of his costars talk about what a dick Snipes is, Snipes just accuses them of being racist too (eg. called Patton Oswald a “whiteboy” and accused him a being a racist liar regarding Snipes' unprofessional behavior). Snipes is an asshole. Maybe the fact he was high as a kite the entire filming process could have something to do with his assholery.
@@Curseddemonsasukez Kind of. Before the movies Comic Blade wore a lot less leather, though not none. 90s Blade did wear a biker outfit. The movies went trench coat/leather pants and the rest sort of followed the trend.
Fun fact: In Blade: Trinity, Blade only kills 42 vampires, making this his lowest count of the series. Bonus fact: Even though it's the 3rd movie in the Blade series, this was the 1st movie to have the Marvel Studios logo at the beginning of the movie
I didn't see either of those endings. The one I remember was that Blade was unaffected by the serum that kills Dracula, but as a dying act of respect, Dracula took Blade's form so the police would stop hunting him. Edit: Apparently there were several cuts of the film, theatrical, DVD, TV, Unrated and each had slightly different edits, like the ending.
The theatrical version which I'VE got had Blade being taken to the morge but morphs back into Dracula except Dracula stays dead. There was a bit of Reynolds narration over that.
I honestly don't know how someone like Doug Walker that does this for a living doesn't notice that he's watching the unrated version where the director takes the piss with this what if ending. Let alone claims to have looked it up only to not get that info, but some cockamamy theory based on the parting gift.
That ending though opens this to a plethora of futures... I like the idea of multiple endings, because it reminds me of the old Bard's Tales where everyone has a different ending.
Love the ending of this one! Here’s the play by play on the NC at 22:06: 1. The Limbo and pelvic thrust 2. The Awkward green screen keying effect 3. The laying an egg off camera 4. The Reaction every time somebody asked him if he saw garbage pail kids
@@ThreadBomb No he's not he a nice guy, if anyone's a douch it's Wesley Snipes. Patton Oswalt did a tell all interview and he said Wesley was problematic especially with the director, the director even considered using stand-in actors.
I remember how the NC review of Christmas with the Cranks in 2015 came out at just the right moment (you know, with the nice message at the end), the morning after the break-up of my life and gave me the good humor to enjoy the (then upcoming) Christmas again. I've tried to message Doug ever since to tell him how his video got me thru the hardest Christmas of my life back in the day. Anyway, I hope your day gets better.
blade 2 was kind of a dumpster fire compared to this movie. It was just dark and dreary and boring the whole time. This movie is a fantastic mix of upbeat humor and intense action.
@@LumpyAdams I'm not a kiddy I'm probably older than you. It's also my dad's favorite blade movie. Ryan was hilarious in three though and was channeling his inner Deadpool. I'm surprised blade even got a sequel after two but I'm sure glad it did cause 3 completely redeemed the franchise after two almost killed it for me. Im not trying to trash on a movie that clearly some people out there like, but calling me a kid cause I liked the best blade movie like, seriously? You're probably a kid if you like 2 just saying.
Fun fact: the ending you mentioned was the alternative ending. In the real ending, Drake’s “parting gift” was him transforming into blade so the cops would grab him but when they tried to cut him open, drake transformed into his human form and got all veiny due to the virus.
@@powersthetiddygoblin i’m very surprised he put that ending in the video and made it seem like that’s the true ending. They didn’t even show the bad ending in theaters. I also think the CGI job on Blade’s eyes (Wesley was being a dick when they were filming that scene by refusing to open his eyes) was straight up pathetic.
I only know the ending where where Dracula takes blade shape before dying as a gift so people get of Blades back because he believes Blade to be the next step in Vampire evolution.
Fun fact, there were three different endings for this movie. The theatrical cut had a ending where it looks like the cure actually worked, the unrated one had the one that was shown in the review, and there was an cut ending involving werewolves (yes, that last one exists) Edit, the theatrical ending also didn’t involve the whole coma narration, apparently
Actually, they never really explicitly said Blade was "cured", especially since the scientist girl theorized that the compound might very well kill Blade along with the rest of the vampires. It's possible it cured his vampirism, but it was left completely ambiguous, likely intentionally.
The novelization features a slightly alternate ending to Blade's fight with Drake; *rather than Abigail simply shooting Drake while he's occupied with Blade, she misses her shot with the only plague arrow they had, but then Zoe sneaks up on Drake to stab him in the leg with a silver stake, distracting Drake just long enough for Blade to grab the fallen arrow and stab Drake in the heart with it.*
Nobody ever talks about the disappearing glass. When Blade jumps out of the window, he lands with broken glass everywhere. He says: "I forgot my sword. " Then the group runs to a truck, which somehow didn't get stopped by the army of police, and as they run, all the broken glass behind them has magically vanished.
Isnt this the one where they could barely get Snipes out of his trailer to do more than a single take of any scene? The video highlights all his interesting or weird moments, but I remember him looking like he was mentally filing taxes whenever he wasn’t speaking.
Wait what? I could have sworn the end Drac had shape shifted into Blade but stayed dead making them think Blade was gone. I have never seen that scene where he wakes up in the autopsy.
That was my impression too - she didn't have the same bond with her absentee dad as she had with the person she literally faced death with regularly. I didn't pick up on the long time lover aspect, though, as that's the same reaction anyone who is close to another person would react on finding them in that state, whether it's familial, platonic or romantic.
@@That0neBro Actually, from what I remember in the movie, Abby Whistler (Jessica Biel) and Sommerfield (Natasha Lyonne) are just friends and teammates . The website, marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Blade:_Trinity_(film) also states this in the character bios. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen “Blade Trinity” . So, maybe it was mentioned in the movie , that they thought of one another as a sister.
@@dragonmaster613 But was Abby even friends with that girl though? I’m asking because it’s hard to tell. They never talk to each other, so it’s hard to tell if they were anything more than coworkers. There were quite a few other members that Abby could have potentially bonded with. The only confirmation of even a friendship is in a wiki of all things. And the movie hardly implies that Abby had a disconnected relationship with her father. There was hardly ever a scene where Abby mentions her father for more than a few lines. If the viewers have to make several assumptions about the relationships between characters, that’s just bad character writing.
Yeah I just commented to Doug the same thing. I think he might have reviewed the director's cut because the one you and I mentioned was probably from the original theatrical/DVD cut.
This movie has ONE moment, that I really like: Right at the beginning, before those vampires entered Dracula's tomb, one of them gives the sun the middle-finger. I always found that hilarious.
A sword wielding badass MASTER OF HUMOR starring Ryan Reynolds you mean? Deadpool is cool AND funny, love this character :D He's my favorite anti-hero with Hellboy; love thoses two! I like Abe Sapien too, he's super smart and so sweet X3
That’s not the ending I remember at all! In the version I saw as a kid, it had the doctors about to autopsy blade’s body, but the it shape shifts into Dracula, with Ryan Reynolds saying something about “Drake’s final gift.” Now I’m wondering if I got some directors cut version or something.
matthew court i have the trilogy pack on regular dvd thats the ending it has the one talked about here is the ending to the blue ray not sure why they are diffrent
Just wanted to comment this. There its made cleat that Blade earned Drake respect by defeating him, and shapeshifted into him before he died, so the police and news would pronounce Blade "dead" and stop looking for him, effective "Drake's gift" was a clean slate for Blade. In that ending he never got up and beat up the doctors.
That's the original release ending. Doug showed off the Director's cut ending, yes the version the director wanted it to end on... Just let that sink in. I'll agree the original ending is still miles better, but this ending was just to ridiculous to ignore.
I find it funny that, I'm just realizing this not having seen this movie in a long time, but everyone is okay with blade killing vampires on a regular basis, but he accidentally kills one single human and all of a sudden he's Public Enemy Number One.
I've got a counterpoint to that one, actually: Vampires just burn into ash when they die, so nobody can prove Blade killed them, at most they can be filled as "missing person".
I was more surprised that Blade was surprised at the guy not turning to dust - hasn't he killed familiars (humans who willingly serve vampires) before? That being said, this was an orchestrated move by the vampires to expose Blade to the world at large and set him up as an insane serial killer.
Believe he only did certain shots when he felt inclined. Needless to say, Wesley was king of the douche bags on the shoot; one only ask Patton Oswalt & Ryan Reynolds
He also refused to answer to anything other than Blade. The reason there's so many outtakes with Reynolds saying different lines is because Snipes wasn't there for the reaction shots.
18:02 Yeah, I thought Abigail's reaction to Sommerfield's death didn't really mean anything because they never really shared a connection with one another like they were sisters or something. But after the last couple of times of watching this film, I never got how Abigail was that over her father's death upon rescuing Blade until she had a flashback about him when she took a shower to clean the blood off.
I remember hearing most of the non-close-up scenes were done by Snipes’ stunt double, while he stayed in his trailer getting high - probably easier to hide that when everything’s hard to see.
19:32 This film was good for only one thing, and that is best worst scene in cinema history, a scene I can quote to this day because I love how campy and dumb it is.
When you need a Vampire hunting team, just call on the funny guy from "Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place," the rebel daughter from "Seventh Heaven," the wise cracking girl from "American Pie," and Patton Oswalt.
@@artemisfowldragon in the directors cut of the film there’s an after credit scene where Mr Reynolds asks “what do you get when you cross a vampire with a werewolf? Fur that sticks to your neck.”
I saw that ending. But really/ There's a director's cut? I've got both the extended and the theatrical cut. The theatrical version has Blade morph into Dracula in the morgue but he stays dead.
as well as Spirit and Sinbad, they are very underrated too! Thoses movies need more love and attention! Dragons and Kung Fu panda has a lot but not them, that's unfair ;(
Moving as a statue is kinda impressive. That level of control is hard to do. Not quite Superman shaking hands and not ripping your arm off, but a bit cool.
@@thnzxc The third movie should have opened with Dracula being awakened, the Vampires not knowing about this, then attempting to kill Dracula as an impure knock-off while mistaking him for Blade the Daywalker (easily since most Vampires have heard of him, but not seen him). The entire story could have unfolded as Dracula learns of the world he woke up to, and his slowly uncovering the Legend of Blade the Daywalker, which could show his slow-burn-respect build-up he has for Blade as the modern version of Dracula, the true one to take up his mantle. Hell, they could have put a twist on it where Dracula is no different than Blade as an Antihero rather than a 2d chaotic evil type like all Dracula-types; when Blade finally confronts him, he could learn that Dracula wasn't necessarily evil, just that his actions were misinterpreted as evil by 3rd parties that weren't there to see the evil acts committed to his people back in Wallonia by the Ottomans (same idea by that Dracula Movie, except the Ottomans here could also be Vampires like the ones in Blade)... Dracula could admit his methods were too over-the-top, and respect what Blade has done... while calling his methods crude, but in the right spirit. So he sacrifices himself to save Blade's Legacy, and passes on the mantle of the unknown protector off onto him. Anyway, something like that lol
1:56 channeling his future inner deadpool. Man it feel like snipes has lost all his energy and isn’t trying anymore, like a piece of him was lost in the making of this movie. The guy playing Dracula in this looks like he should be a Roman emperor or something in a Netflix series. Critic I prey you have the strength for the next movie your gonna review.
@@synaesthesia2010 honestly if I had to star in this movie with this type of script only for it to originally be leading to spin-offs where I'm not involved anymore I'll probably be like fuck it and "problematic" as well

That’s not the ending we got in the UK, the cops turn up and find Blade, then he transforms into Dracula. It’s as though Dracula respected Blade and wanted this new form of vampire to live on so took his place to make the police think Blade had passed on.
@@andyz2861 Yeah hes became woke and hired female writers for DP3. Why fire the writing team of the first 2 films. They're perfect. They also did Zombielamd 1&2. Ever since he bent the knee towards SJWs he's been headed downhill for me.
@@hulkfan97 It makes sense if you believe that women are inherently inferior. In that case, you'll want to fire the better people to give others a chance. It's just disappointing that Reynolds apparently believes women are inherently inferior.
I loved this movie as a kid. I thought Dracula's monster form was pretty cool and now years later reminds me of Castlevania's habit to turn him into a monster in a second half of his boss fights.
If I remember right, Wesley Snipes either refused to open or keep his eyes open so they had to CGI his eyes on during that last part with him on the table
if I remember it right this was the movie that Wesley snipes was fighting with everyone on set with because he really believed he was blade... he threaten to quit the movie he walked off a lot of the time on set and had a very big beef with Oswald if I remember it correctly.... thank god everyone went on for better and bigger things
@@dkillerjoy I don't think it was because he "believed" he was Blade I think he was just trying to get the point across that he is Blade and is part of the reason why the first two movies were so popular so trying to setup a spin-off series where he's no longer involved I'll probably handing out sticky notes saying who I am too
"Why is it I get the feeling they allow for one take for him to do whatever he wants?" Clearly, you didn't brief yourself on the behind-the-scenes stuff. As funny as his lines and such were, Snipes was notoriously difficult to work with during production of this movie. Nobody could stand him and they had to get...creative in post-production.
I love that Bale took cues from Snipes on how their characters voice changes throughout the movies like the first one they sound fine but by the third one they are just growling :p
I have to admit to being surprised that there was no joke about Dracula's actor being on Legends of Tomorrow, a DC property after being in a Marvel property. Seems like a missed opportunity there.
🎶Try to use my name, that’s fatal Try to claim my fame but that’s fatal About to bring the pain, that’s fatal Bite through your jugular vein, that’s fatal🎶
I always remember how good the song fatal by RZA was in this film and was disappointed the film didn't match it. Seriously underrated original track for a movie
Fun fact: Jessica Biel was so good at archery that during a scene where she’s suppose shoot an arrow at the camera she ACTUALLY shot the camera. Keep in mind the camera had a protective shield on it with small opening. She was able to get the arrow through that opening.
Did anyone else notice that one of the producers was named "Wolfman?" Coincidence? I think not. Also the vamp chick looked like she was imitating Fairuza Balk's character from The Craft.
I said the same exact thing. 😅😅 Just hope that Max doesn't see this video. 🤷🤷 Overall, great "Blade: Trinity" review. Even the intro is getting better over the years. 👍👍
5:43 I'd have to admit when I saw this, I didn't really burst into laughter but I really see that Blade was broken after Whistler had died a second time because there was no chance of him coming back now. But I do think its kind of funny now.
And now the circle is complete! Took you a while! I'm really happy you got around to doing this review! I love that you kept to the old format for this one! No dis to Tamara and/or Malcolm, but this just deserved it
The way Blade comes across in this movie makes a whole lot of sense when you realize that during filming Snipes was high as hell and basically directing himself
it was terribly written plot with a terrible director, but sure blame it all on wesley. that same director tried to do a blade tv show and failed again, without wesley snipes
Fact about the film: Near the end of the movie, you noticed that Blade’s eyes are CGI. That’s because director David S. Goyer and Wesley Snipes HATED each other during filming and when it came time to shoot the ending, Wesley refused to listen to him and refused to open his eyes After filming wrapped, Snipes actually sued him for cutting major scenes of him in favor of Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds
I remember it as Blade turning to Dracula, but he was still dead. I think the idea was supposed to be that Dracula gifted Blade in the form of giving the cops a Blade corpse, so that they'd stop trying to hunt him down. But either way, I also don't recall the ending the Critic watched.

When aired on TV, what happens is that Reynolds starts narrating sooner and when the doctors try to cut into "Blade", the body shifts into an unconscious/dead Dracula, which actually kinda ties in better with Drac's dialog beforehand. The narration is also different, but you still have that very last scene with Blade riding off into the night on his motorcycle.

you believe in the vampire element but not that he could learn English? You remember they had him locked up for quite a while, right?
in most vampire lore Vampires are able to ingest knowledge along with blood. so when they consume blood from someone they will learn the persons language
every superhero ever
well vampires are still creatures of the dark, and they could learn any language. Just like how Demons can speak any language.
18:12 Blade: Use it. Use it. Use it.
Palpatine: Let the hate flow thru you.
It's also acting advice from Michael Caine: Use the difficulty.
During Whistler's death
Director: Ok Wes I want you to do the Darth Vader nooooo, do a squat and then look quickly to the left like you're a dog who's spotted a squirrel
It's likely Snipes did the scenes about a hundred times, got yelled at, then told them to go fuck themselves after this.
Henry Cavill's moustache: They replaced me with an awful CGI upperlip.
Wesley Snipes' eyelids: First time, bro?
David S. Goyer digitally edited the eyes in since Snipes refused to open them when the sequence was filmed.
@@samkresil6011 Probably refused to do so with a glaring light in his face, and didn't want to wear the contact lenses.
I'm surprised you didn't go into the behind the scenes drama of this movie. Wesley Snipes and David S Goyer had such a falling out over this movie that Snipes locked himself in his trailer for several days. When he finally emerged, he would only communicated with Goyer via post it notes.
@Limau Purut it's hard to say what really happened, from what other people involved say, snipes was fairly unprofessional himself on-set, and actors often had to adlib around him.
Don't get me wrong, I love wesley snipes as an actor, and I'd love to see him cast as Joker in a Batman film one day (look at demolition man and tell me I'm wrong), but the man has a reputation for having an ego problem and for being unprofessional...
@@yeldarb141983 apparently back in that time he did have a huge ego. But he's been kind of laying low ever since he got out of prison and hasn't really caused any kind of trouble.
@@gamemediafan1714 I hope so, I love a good redemption story.
Besides, like I said, potentially best Joker ever if he could land the role...
They also cut Wesley out of a lot of the decision making process, which is an issue seeing as he was one of the producers. The film was basically used to try and set up a Nightstalkers spinoff, which would've bombed
@Limau Purut The director for Trinity was the writer for all three movies. I really don't think Trinity is as bad as the Critic claims. It's just tonally different than the first two. It's brighter and has more jokes, which compared to the first two does sound terrible, but on it's own it's a decent movie. And I loved Parker Posey and her Spice.
He forgot the part where they had to CGI Wesley Snipes opening his eyes because he refused to on the count that he and the directer didn't see eye to eye.
I wouldn't say they "didn't see eye to eye" I would say Snipes' behaviour on set was unprofessional, immature and even down right racist.
@@1000000man1 Mostly beause of Goyer's direction as I've heard recently on this comment section.
It was because he didn't want to wear the contacts as they irritated his eyes. That's why he where's the shades much more in this movie then the other two.
@@samkresil6011 Ok, so what was his excuse for his racism towards Ryan Reynolds?
@@samkresil6011 Yeah? Snipes accused Goyer of racism and nearly strangled him while exclusively referring to Ryan Reynolds as a “cracker” the entire filming process. Reynold’s line “he doesn’t like me, does he?” was ad-libbed and likely a personal jab at Snipes. And whenever any of his costars talk about what a dick Snipes is, Snipes just accuses them of being racist too (eg. called Patton Oswald a “whiteboy” and accused him a being a racist liar regarding Snipes' unprofessional behavior).
Snipes is an asshole. Maybe the fact he was high as a kite the entire filming process could have something to do with his assholery.
I really can't get enough of that edgy '90s vibe that Blade has, just like Underworld and The Matrix.
Too much leather to handle.
Squeeeeeak.
Oh god, I can hear them again...
I think there was some of that in the Resident Evil films as well.
Funny thing is, that just how blade is drawn in comics he wears that... The matrix and the underworld really has no real good reason. XD
@@Curseddemonsasukez Kind of. Before the movies Comic Blade wore a lot less leather, though not none. 90s Blade did wear a biker outfit. The movies went trench coat/leather pants and the rest sort of followed the trend.
Word
Fun fact: In Blade: Trinity, Blade only kills 42 vampires, making this his lowest count of the series.
Bonus fact: Even though it's the 3rd movie in the Blade series, this was the 1st movie to have the Marvel Studios logo at the beginning of the movie
hahahaha are you dead meat?
42 is the answer

We're so happy to see Chaplin and his cute exclamation-point face!
yes we are they're so purrfect!
I didn't see either of those endings. The one I remember was that Blade was unaffected by the serum that kills Dracula, but as a dying act of respect, Dracula took Blade's form so the police would stop hunting him.
Edit: Apparently there were several cuts of the film, theatrical, DVD, TV, Unrated and each had slightly different edits, like the ending.
The theatrical version which I'VE got had Blade being taken to the morge but morphs back into Dracula except Dracula stays dead. There was a bit of Reynolds narration over that.
I honestly don't know how someone like Doug Walker that does this for a living doesn't notice that he's watching the unrated version where the director takes the piss with this what if ending. Let alone claims to have looked it up only to not get that info, but some cockamamy theory based on the parting gift.
Sounds a whole lot like the ending of Clue
The only ending you remember seems to be the one that makes the most sense and what ending they should have kept.
That ending though opens this to a plethora of futures... I like the idea of multiple endings, because it reminds me of the old Bard's Tales where everyone has a different ending.
Love the ending of this one! Here’s the play by play on the NC at 22:06:
1. The Limbo and pelvic thrust
2. The Awkward green screen keying effect
3. The laying an egg off camera
4. The Reaction every time somebody asked him if he saw garbage pail kids
Whisler: Dies
Blade: ANGRY SQUATING
LMAO I can't believe that squatting scene never become a meme.
Whisler seems to die in every movie
didn't even got her email address
All Quacking Choir 😜
So he turns from half-vampire to full-on Russian? 😂
The "He hates me, doesn't he?" wasn't in reference to Blade vs. his character - it was Reynolds outright asking if Wesley Snipes hated him.
In either case, the answer is the same.
@@PaxIesus What was the answer?
@@TheEvilLordExdeath
"A solid maybe."
@@TheEvilLordExdeath A definite yes. Because Reynolds is a douche.
@@ThreadBomb No he's not he a nice guy, if anyone's a douch it's Wesley Snipes. Patton Oswalt did a tell all interview and he said Wesley was problematic especially with the director, the director even considered using stand-in actors.

I remember how the NC review of Christmas with the Cranks in 2015 came out at just the right moment (you know, with the nice message at the end), the morning after the break-up of my life and gave me the good humor to enjoy the (then upcoming) Christmas again. I've tried to message Doug ever since to tell him how his video got me thru the hardest Christmas of my life back in the day.
Anyway, I hope your day gets better.
Same, bro
The NC crew always brightens all of our days! I hope you are doing better!
Blade 2 was my favorite one, Del Toro did a good job fleshing out the world of Blade and his Reaper designs with the split mouths was wicked.
blade 2 was kind of a dumpster fire compared to this movie. It was just dark and dreary and boring the whole time. This movie is a fantastic mix of upbeat humor and intense action.
He used the same design in his tv series The Strain.
@@spartythespart Possibly the worst take I've ever seen on youtube. I know you kiddies worship Ryan Reynolds but fuck sake
It's such an endlessly rewatchable movie. Del Toro adds do much personality to Blade. I wish he made the third film.
@@LumpyAdams I'm not a kiddy I'm probably older than you. It's also my dad's favorite blade movie. Ryan was hilarious in three though and was channeling his inner Deadpool. I'm surprised blade even got a sequel after two but I'm sure glad it did cause 3 completely redeemed the franchise after two almost killed it for me. Im not trying to trash on a movie that clearly some people out there like, but calling me a kid cause I liked the best blade movie like, seriously? You're probably a kid if you like 2 just saying.
Fun fact: the ending you mentioned was the alternative ending. In the real ending, Drake’s “parting gift” was him transforming into blade so the cops would grab him but when they tried to cut him open, drake transformed into his human form and got all veiny due to the virus.
I was so confused at that part of the video because that was the dvd ending I had growing up!
@@powersthetiddygoblin i’m very surprised he put that ending in the video and made it seem like that’s the true ending. They didn’t even show the bad ending in theaters. I also think the CGI job on Blade’s eyes (Wesley was being a dick when they were filming that scene by refusing to open his eyes) was straight up pathetic.
I just finished watching Blade Trinity last night had no idea about this ending.
I only know the ending where where Dracula takes blade shape before dying as a gift so people get of Blades back because he believes Blade to be the next step in Vampire evolution.
Same here. I like that ending better because it doesn’t need a sequel. It could just end there
This is the ending I remember the most.
Only ending I've ever seen.
I need to rewatch the movie. I always took it more as Blade was the one that died and Dracula left in his shape.
Damn, I don't think that ending is on the DVD.
Fun fact, there were three different endings for this movie. The theatrical cut had a ending where it looks like the cure actually worked, the unrated one had the one that was shown in the review, and there was an cut ending involving werewolves (yes, that last one exists)
Edit, the theatrical ending also didn’t involve the whole coma narration, apparently
OMG I saw the theatrical ending. I was bothered seeing this review, but knowing a very different ending.
The reviews ending is very bad. 😕
Wait, is that theatrical one the one where blade lives and Dracula transforms into blade to trick the police until he retransforms back still dead?
@@joshuabetts2484 yeah, that’s the one
Actually, they never really explicitly said Blade was "cured", especially since the scientist girl theorized that the compound might very well kill Blade along with the rest of the vampires. It's possible it cured his vampirism, but it was left completely ambiguous, likely intentionally.
The novelization features a slightly alternate ending to Blade's fight with Drake; *rather than Abigail simply shooting Drake while he's occupied with Blade, she misses her shot with the only plague arrow they had, but then Zoe sneaks up on Drake to stab him in the leg with a silver stake, distracting Drake just long enough for Blade to grab the fallen arrow and stab Drake in the heart with it.*
Honestly this ending sounds more interesting but it would still be conclusion to already unsatisfying movie
There was a novelisation of the movie?
Nobody ever talks about the disappearing glass. When Blade jumps out of the window, he lands with broken glass everywhere. He says: "I forgot my sword. " Then the group runs to a truck, which somehow didn't get stopped by the army of police, and as they run, all the broken glass behind them has magically vanished.
20:15 "He attacks everyone, looks at this doctor like he's going to kill her..."
"Coochie coo"
Heh. Coochie.
@@Commander_Shepard. heh. "Boner".
Chaplain is such an impossibly cute kitty 🐱❤️
Isnt this the one where they could barely get Snipes out of his trailer to do more than a single take of any scene? The video highlights all his interesting or weird moments, but I remember him looking like he was mentally filing taxes whenever he wasn’t speaking.
He was high the entire time.
“Mentally filing taxes” Nice! 👍
Snipes wasn't in the DVD commentary because he was getting indicted by the IRS before his 4 year conviction.
It was David Goyer's first time directing, and he was also the writer at the same time. It definitely shows.
No, he directed a movie called Zig Zag a couple of years earlier. (It was basically straight-to-video, as it only opened in one theater.)
Snipes wanted to kill him
Good thing Reynolds himself gave Snipes another chance with Deadpool & Wolverine
Wait what? I could have sworn the end Drac had shape shifted into Blade but stayed dead making them think Blade was gone. I have never seen that scene where he wakes up in the autopsy.
Same. First time i see that ending??
There's like 4 different endings Doug has the extended cut ending I think
Her reaction to Whistler's death is that of a family member long separated, her reaction to that blind girl is of a long time lover!
That was my impression too - she didn't have the same bond with her absentee dad as she had with the person she literally faced death with regularly. I didn't pick up on the long time lover aspect, though, as that's the same reaction anyone who is close to another person would react on finding them in that state, whether it's familial, platonic or romantic.
Pretty sure it was mentioned in passing in the movie that was her sister. I could be wrong though.
@@That0neBro Actually, from what I remember in the movie, Abby Whistler (Jessica Biel) and Sommerfield (Natasha Lyonne)
are just friends and teammates . The website, marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Blade:_Trinity_(film) also states this in the character bios. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen “Blade Trinity” . So, maybe it was mentioned in the movie , that they thought of one another as a sister.
@@That0neBro my point was NC was incorrect with his criticism on the writing of said scene.
@@dragonmaster613 But was Abby even friends with that girl though? I’m asking because it’s hard to tell. They never talk to each other, so it’s hard to tell if they were anything more than coworkers. There were quite a few other members that Abby could have potentially bonded with. The only confirmation of even a friendship is in a wiki of all things. And the movie hardly implies that Abby had a disconnected relationship with her father. There was hardly ever a scene where Abby mentions her father for more than a few lines. If the viewers have to make several assumptions about the relationships between characters, that’s just bad character writing.
In the ending I remember Blade's corpse turns into Drake just as he's about to be autopsied and he doesn't get up and kill the doctors, he stays dead.
Yeah I just commented to Doug the same thing. I think he might have reviewed the director's cut because the one you and I mentioned was probably from the original theatrical/DVD cut.
Yeah, I was confused by that too.
Yeaaaaa!! That's what I remember too. Not this one.. 🤔
yeah that was the ending I remembered as well, I didn't even know there were any other endings
Yup. Same here! 🧐
This movie has ONE moment, that I really like:
Right at the beginning, before those vampires entered Dracula's tomb, one of them gives the sun the middle-finger. I always found that hilarious.
Doug doing an imitation of Blade's over reaction was too perfect. 22:00.
2:10 Also to all the possible epileptics watching this, potential seizure warning!
Yeah, I love Deadpool!
Wait, that’s the other Marvel movie with a sword wielding badass starring Ryan Reynolds
Deadpool fanboy alert XD
Ha ha. This comment really made me smile.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine?
But this one's got bats!
A sword wielding badass MASTER OF HUMOR starring Ryan Reynolds you mean? Deadpool is cool AND funny, love this character :D He's my favorite anti-hero with Hellboy; love thoses two! I like Abe Sapien too, he's super smart and so sweet X3
That’s not the ending I remember at all! In the version I saw as a kid, it had the doctors about to autopsy blade’s body, but the it shape shifts into Dracula, with Ryan Reynolds saying something about “Drake’s final gift.” Now I’m wondering if I got some directors cut version or something.
matthew court i have the trilogy pack on regular dvd thats the ending it has the one talked about here is the ending to the blue ray not sure why they are diffrent
YESSSS that’s the ending I’ve always seen, in the theater and on HBO Max
Just wanted to comment this. There its made cleat that Blade earned Drake respect by defeating him, and shapeshifted into him before he died, so the police and news would pronounce Blade "dead" and stop looking for him, effective "Drake's gift" was a clean slate for Blade. In that ending he never got up and beat up the doctors.
@@HegeRoberto thats the one ive always seen and thr trilogy pack has when the critic started talking about the ending he saw i was like what 🤔 lol
That's the original release ending. Doug showed off the Director's cut ending, yes the version the director wanted it to end on... Just let that sink in. I'll agree the original ending is still miles better, but this ending was just to ridiculous to ignore.
Okay, the "I was talking to HER!" with Reynolds intonation was genuinely funny. 😂
1:39 This line aged great in Deadpool & Wolverine
Yep.
I find it funny that, I'm just realizing this not having seen this movie in a long time, but everyone is okay with blade killing vampires on a regular basis, but he accidentally kills one single human and all of a sudden he's Public Enemy Number One.
I've got a counterpoint to that one, actually: Vampires just burn into ash when they die, so nobody can prove Blade killed them, at most they can be filled as "missing person".
I was more surprised that Blade was surprised at the guy not turning to dust - hasn't he killed familiars (humans who willingly serve vampires) before? That being said, this was an orchestrated move by the vampires to expose Blade to the world at large and set him up as an insane serial killer.
Fun fact: During shooting, Wesley Snipes refused to shoot any shot that didn’t show his face
Believe he only did certain shots when he felt inclined. Needless to say, Wesley was king of the douche bags on the shoot; one only ask Patton Oswalt & Ryan Reynolds
@@LucyLioness100 wasn't there a reason why he disliked this movie? Or was that rumors
He also refused to answer to anything other than Blade. The reason there's so many outtakes with Reynolds saying different lines is because Snipes wasn't there for the reaction shots.
It's so you know he does his own stunts. Unlike these Night Slasher bitches!
And he communicated using Post It notes.

18:02 Yeah, I thought Abigail's reaction to Sommerfield's death didn't really mean anything because they never really shared a connection with one another like they were sisters or something. But after the last couple of times of watching this film, I never got how Abigail was that over her father's death upon rescuing Blade until she had a flashback about him when she took a shower to clean the blood off.
That squat and swoosh punching sound effects killed me. 😂😂😂
Ironically, this got uploaded right after I rewatched the NC for the first movie.

@@Canadian_Zac It masks shoddy fight scenes and effects.
@@geardog24 Did it though?
I remember hearing most of the non-close-up scenes were done by Snipes’ stunt double, while he stayed in his trailer getting high - probably easier to hide that when everything’s hard to see.

@@thnzxc 3 is honestly a guilty pleasure for me.
@@thnzxc The third movie should have opened with Dracula being awakened, the Vampires not knowing about this, then attempting to kill Dracula as an impure knock-off while mistaking him for Blade the Daywalker (easily since most Vampires have heard of him, but not seen him). The entire story could have unfolded as Dracula learns of the world he woke up to, and his slowly uncovering the Legend of Blade the Daywalker, which could show his slow-burn-respect build-up he has for Blade as the modern version of Dracula, the true one to take up his mantle.
Hell, they could have put a twist on it where Dracula is no different than Blade as an Antihero rather than a 2d chaotic evil type like all Dracula-types; when Blade finally confronts him, he could learn that Dracula wasn't necessarily evil, just that his actions were misinterpreted as evil by 3rd parties that weren't there to see the evil acts committed to his people back in Wallonia by the Ottomans (same idea by that Dracula Movie, except the Ottomans here could also be Vampires like the ones in Blade)... Dracula could admit his methods were too over-the-top, and respect what Blade has done... while calling his methods crude, but in the right spirit. So he sacrifices himself to save Blade's Legacy, and passes on the mantle of the unknown protector off onto him.
Anyway, something like that lol

That’s not the ending we got in the UK, the cops turn up and find Blade, then he transforms into Dracula. It’s as though Dracula respected Blade and wanted this new form of vampire to live on so took his place to make the police think Blade had passed on.

Deadpool: *goes back in time and kills Wesley Snipes after the blade trinity script is finished* you’re welcome Orlando
"Wait, Wade! Without that movie, you won't be born!"
Deadpool: (gets dested) "Whoopsi."
Why would he kill Snipes,when its Goyers Fault?
@@dominiqueodom3099 if anything wade would just double kill ryan reynolds
5:43 I'd have to admit when I saw this, I didn't really burst into laughter but I really see that Blade was broken after Whistler had died a second time because there was no chance of him coming back now. But I do think its kind of funny now.
Yessss this is what I’ve been waiting for
I cried when I saw the notification
I was certain he covered it before, but looking it up gave no results, so I thought probably got claimed. I'm glad it's not.
@@adaptorperish1322 same
Huddy, what are you doing here?
@@MetaBro yoooo
And now the circle is complete! Took you a while! I'm really happy you got around to doing this review! I love that you kept to the old format for this one! No dis to Tamara and/or Malcolm, but this just deserved it
21:42 They are. Blade is going to be in the MCU & has a good actor behind him. While he’s no Wesley Snipes, Mahershala Ali will nail Blade.
22:05
Admit it, you also replayed this part several times because it was too good xD
Blades 1 and 2 are like the Terminators 1 and 2.
They started strong, the sequel was stronger, and every one after the first two were not that good.
Exactly
Except they were good just not as good
Don't forget the Alien movies as well
The way Blade comes across in this movie makes a whole lot of sense when you realize that during filming Snipes was high as hell and basically directing himself
it was terribly written plot with a terrible director, but sure blame it all on wesley. that same director tried to do a blade tv show and failed again, without wesley snipes
@@mokeish Oh, don’t get me wrong. The movie was an absolute failure all around. I’m not blaming it all on him in the slightest.
Fact about the film:
Near the end of the movie, you noticed that Blade’s eyes are CGI.
That’s because director David S. Goyer and Wesley Snipes HATED each other during filming and when it came time to shoot the ending, Wesley refused to listen to him and refused to open his eyes
After filming wrapped, Snipes actually sued him for cutting major scenes of him in favor of Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds
Your ending reaction to Mulan had me in stitches. Bravo.
also the ending i saw was dracula on the autopsy table and he turned to blade the moment they cut into him, i honestly dont recall that other ending
I remember it as Blade turning to Dracula, but he was still dead. I think the idea was supposed to be that Dracula gifted Blade in the form of giving the cops a Blade corpse, so that they'd stop trying to hunt him down. But either way, I also don't recall the ending the Critic watched.
@@carlosrvra yeah me either, i even remember more the alternate ending of hannibal and jessica biel hunting the werewolf
"He transforms into... I don't know, Darth Maul's Hemoroid" Dude, that line was so brilliant, you had me in tears
20:42 Ryan Reynold: Hey, I explained tht much better.
Okay, the end when Doug pulled out the Mulan blu-Ray and did the angry squat was fitting.
He's gonna review the new mulan movie I assume?
