Nice Addie. Witness the true beginning of the MCU. Without this ( and a few others...) we wouldn't have the MCU as we know it. Such a great movie still. And Snipes... is the man.
@@billybillee8160 Wow why so bitter and miserable after 30 years....did Wesley Snipes hurt you? You elected 45 who has the same qualities and you love his dirty diapers.
Vampires who were turned are like redheads, they need a high SPF sunscreen to be in the sun but without it they burn up. This was clearly Addie’s type of movie. 😂
NICE! The film that helped save Marvel from bankruptcy. Roger Corman was going to produce a low budget version of the movie starring Richard Roundtree and it was going to take place in the old West, but it was cancelled in 1992. Before Wesley Snipes played the titular vampire hunter, Michael Jai White, LL Cool J, Lawrence Fishburne and Denzel Washington were considered for the role. Patrick McGoohan and Jon Voight were considered for the role of Whistler until Kris Kristofferson was picked. Terence Stamp was considered for the role of Deacon Frost until Stephen Dorff was picked as the producers wanted someone who was younger and more intimidating.
That wasn't the serum... it was the anticoagulant weapon. Frost allowed him to catch it and throw it at him because he incorrectly thought that it was the serum.
Speaking of Wesley Snipes, I also suggest New Jack City (1991), Jungle Fever (1991), White Men Can't Jump (1992), Passenger 57 (1992), Rising Sun (1993), Demolition Man (1993), Sugar Hill (1993), Drop Zone (1994), To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995), Money Train (1995), The Fan (1996), Murder at 1600 (1997), One Night Stand (1997) and U.S. Marshals (1998). #MoreWesleySnipesForAddieCounts
This movie saved Marvel Studios from bankruptcy. I helped by buying 2 tickets to it opening weekend. The girl I took with me yelled at me after "Why did you think I would like that?" I dodged a bullet by never dating her again. I helped Marvel Studios and Marvel Studios helped me. Win/win.
My best friend saw it in the cinema and made me go. I went to the bathroom before it started and almost missed the start. He said that if I missed that start he was going to stop me watching the movie and pay to see the next screening. I was glad I got back in time. I went four times, he went seven times. If this got rereleased in cinemas I would so go back to see it.
My girlfriend took me to see it. We been married for decades afterwards. Really, it should be used as a litmus test of what makes a good person to date.
And Addie doesn't yet again with another great reaction. She is way too entertaining. So excitable all the time. Her reactions... PRICELESS. Keep up the good work!
Blade was a member of a group called The Nightstalkers along with Hannibal King and Drake. They were part of group called The Midnight Sons which included Ghostrider, Johnny Blaze, Morbius and others. They are some of the darker Marvel Comics.
After the excellent Werewolf by Night, brilliantly directed by Michael Giacchino, they should each get a Marvel Special Presentation, leading to a team up movie, Dark Avengers style 🙏🏿
That is the difference between Made for Movie and Made for Television. And the Buffy movie, is a joke. The actors did a semi good job with a Very BAD movie. (IMO)
"Yeah, he can fight." And that's not just Blade. Wesley Snipes is a black belt in multiple styles. The crew literally had to ask him to slow down so they could capture footage
no as far as Marvel she has seen the MCU, the X-Men movies and the Spider-Man movies, she has yet to see the other 2 Blade movies, the Daredevil movie, Elektra, Fantastic Four and so on
So many reactors miss this, so don''t feel bad, but the 'bad guys' don't know Bladee has the use of EDTA, the "energetic reaction chemical". So when they find the blue vials on Blade, they assume it is the serum, not the EDTA. Blade does not correct them and it pays off at the very end when he can use it against the Blood God. Funnily enough they initially wanted the Blood God to be just CGI blood, but they failed to make it look good. So they made Frost the 'body' of the Blood God as a revised big bad.
The DVD special features had the test footage for the CGI blood god and... yeah, they 100% made the right call in turning it into a fight with Frost, it was... not good. :D
@@Ylyrra I've seen it, I agree. The body-splitting-and-reattaching gives a bit of a taste of what it could have been, and the final fight is a little silly with Frost whizzing around at superspeed at random moments, but it is still way, way, way better than what it almost was. And credit to the people who saw that the CGI of the time for the budget was too limited and decided to do it live-action. Wish more movies had that kind of people.
Addie,I love you are embracing your dark side and starting the Blade trilogy.The more movies you watch like the more you be come addicted and start enjoying nothing else.
It's really hard to overstate the impact and influence this movie has had over the years. It was the first comic book movie that proved that it didn't need to be campy or comedy to work. It absolutely oozed with the late 90's cool that went on to make The Matrix so iconic. It set in motion a series of events that led, pretty directly, to the start of the MCU. All while having enough awesome one liners to make Arnold Schwarzenegger jealous.
I remember my first time watching this. I love how the beginning of the movie lets you know immediately that Blade is the baddest guy in the room. Would love to see your reaction to Blade 2. It’s my favorite of the trilogy.
The Day Walker! Seeing this opening weekend back in the 90s was awesome. You had comic book movies like Batman/Batman Returns and The Crow that were dark, violent, and gritty but always felt like they were holding back. This was the one that finally didn't hold back and fully embraced it. At the time, this was the coolest movie I had ever seen. Then the sequel came out and took that status.
9:55 The hilarious thing about that scene is that Dragonetti is played by creepmeister par excellence Udo Kier Kier could probably make eating a bowl of cheerios scary, and he’s acting like Frost unnerves him.
05:17: It's never really spelled out, but the implication is Blade kept doing harsh but (for a vampire) non-lethal damage because he was trying to get information from Quinn. 08:47: I *love* how Blade lands completely silently. 22:32: Another subtle thing I love about this movie: in each major action scene, Blade is wearing less. In the opening his has the trenchcoat, then a short jacket in archive, then a t-shirt in the start of act 3 fight, and for the final fight, just his armored vest. They pretty much invented all the vampire lore for the film. The Marvel vampires are mostly based on when they were publishing Dracula related comics, Blade first appeared in their series "Tomb of Dracula." So all the pseudo-sciency stuff was invented to distance vampires a bit more from the traditional image, make them cooler and edgier. I don't personally feel all of it is necessary, I like the more classical mystical/mysterious vampires, but the films, as a whole, work. Very excited to see how the new Blade melds into the MCU.
That's exactly what it was. He knows that Quinn works for Deacon Frost. And the fact that Blade keeps mutilating Quinn over the course of the movie makes it pretty clear that he is largely doing it for fun.
@@SnowyWolborg I think it's a combination. Some of it basically torturing him for information, some of it that Quinn's just lucky enough keep encountering Blade and survive, unlucky enough that he doesn't survive unscathed. Several times it seems like Blade would have finished Quinn if he could, but other factors made it so Quinn got away.
Deacon Frost is one of the great movie villains IMO, he's definitely evil, but he has a plan that makes logical sense (to him), and he has the charisma for you to believe that he's a leader that others would follow. He feels genuinely menacing, and also feels like he's the protagonist of his own story, rather than here just for the hero's story.
hey Addie, got some must-see movie rec's for ya: -What About Bob -Field of Dreams -Robin Hood (with Kevin Costner) -Romancing the Stone (and the sequel Jewel of the Nile) -Crocodile Dundee -Overboard (the original obviously)
YASSS! I went to the cinema 4 times to watch Blade. I'm actually excited to see what you think! And it was your best reaction yet. I laughed all the way through this :)
Luv Addie's darkside! The blood lust is now expected and these movies are more goriefying than horrifying. And Addie is ok with that! Luv Wesley Snipes in this series and i hope you continue with the Blade trilogy! Can't wait for Blade ll! Thanks Addie ❤️💛😊
I like Blade too. The following Blade films are also over the top with many cheesy one liners, worth reactions. Ryan Reynolds makes an appearance in of them, lots of violence and fun.
To answer your question about vampire rules and lore it's complicated and that's putting it politely and simple the rules basically follow a titled called the masquerade
@Addie this MADE Marvel, in the 1970's their made for TV shows and their bad comics in the 70's(sales), they had sold all their properties to stay afloat. This SAVED Marvel Comics, and made it possible for all the films to follow, and was a rated R comic film 20 years wayyy before Deadpool
Got the chance to see this at the cinema last year, I was grinning the whole time. Blade is definitely the coolest comic character and Wesley Snipes was so perfect which has always been the discouraging thing when talking about reboots. There is only one Blade, there's only ever gonna be one Blade.
This was the first successful Marvel comics character movie & the 2nd Marvel movie to be Rated R the 1st R rated being the 1989 The Punisher staring Dolph Lundgren.
So there's no cut and dry explanation why Quinn survived the silver spikes, when later we're told Vampires are severely allergic to garlic and silver. My headcanon is Quinn is a more mature Vampire than the rest in the club, who were relatively young and weak. Other theories are that the silver is only fatal if it hits a vital organ, which doesn't really make sense for me. Cuz the silver should still cause severe issues for Quinn's shoulders, yet we see no ill effects in the hospital, just the crispy skin from immolation.
Never noticed the similarities to the Matrix fight scenes until now: super cool stylized fights set to techno. This was 98. Matrix was 99. Such a cool time.
The blood rave scene is so iconic.🧛🩸🩸🩸 Wesley Snipes being a real martial artist helps sell the role so much and adds to the authenticity of the character.
FACT CHECK: Marvel Studios did not exist, back in the 90s, it was called Marvel Entertainment Group. In 2008, they changed the name, then released Iron Man. Blade is the first major theatrical release from Marvel, yes, but the MCU as we know it now would not exist until a decade later. Everyone telling you this is an MCU film, is wrong. His cameo in a more recent film, however... now he's officially MCU. 😊
It IS fair to credit the film as the first step toward the MCU becoming a thing though, paving the way by showing superhero films done right can be well received and successful.

Wesley Snipes will be blade until he's 90
Ah, Blade. The movie that paved the way for both The Matrix and basically all modern comic book movies. And so incredibly late '90s. Gotta love it!
I remember when the channel started and Addie was all lollipops and puppies. Now she's chanting, "Take off his hand... take off his hand... " I fear for the future of mankind. 😉
she did drop an F bomb in her Dark Knight reaction way back
You're not wrong. We're a bad influence on her.... but we still love you Addie!!! 🤣
Yep. The bloodlust is only getting stronger here.
This movie still holds up
i swear. love watching this still. something about 90s movies even if people think some are cheesy. i still like
Better than most modern action movies 😎
@@thaistompain't that the truth!!!!!😊😊😊😊
Why wouldn't it?
People say this as if it's some sort of revelation. A good film is a good film, regardless of when it was made.
FYI Kris Kristofferson, who plays Whistler, is a legendary country musician and one of the greatest song writers of all time.
Rhodes Scholar, Army Ranger, helicopter pilot, prolific writer. He was even offered a teaching position at West Point.
Yep, superstar in his own right. I don't even like country but i like him lol.
Wrote "Me and Bobby McGee." One of the best songs ever. Lots of people have covered it, but Janis Joplin did it best.
Now i remember my dad when i was little saying he was a country singer.
Now, he passed away at the age of 88.
Nice Addie. Witness the true beginning of the MCU. Without this ( and a few others...) we wouldn't have the MCU as we know it. Such a great movie still. And Snipes... is the man.

@@billybillee8160 Ah. So you don't understand what acting is. Ok...

I love how Snipes makes a relatively cheesy movie just SO cool with his portrayal of Blade. Everything he does is just so slick.
The absolute coolest character in all cinematic history.
laughs in Spawn
I would put the Blade's intro up there for all-time greatest movie intro EVER! Right after Belly of course.
My first introduction to Blade was in the 90s Spider-Man animated series in the 2nd season 96 two years before the live action Blade.
Aaah, I remember Morbius' sucker-hands... lol
Blade feels like a modern superhero movie from before the genre was reinvented.
Vampires who were turned are like redheads, they need a high SPF sunscreen to be in the sun but without it they burn up.
This was clearly Addie’s type of movie. 😂
3:55 There’s something nostalgic about any movie where someone can fire a shotgun with only 1 hand and the person getting shot goes flying back 10 ft
Physics checks out
Reminds of Rambo one-handing an m60 and mowing bad guys down.
@@Heathcoatman That was peak Action physics
Not a regular Shogun, It fires solid metal stakes and Blade is superhuman.
But even so, that thing was too much
Oh, the good ol' days.
Addie is watching Blade????!!!! I'm SO EXCITED!!!
The thing about Blade I like the most, he really enjoys his work.
NICE!

Uhm no, what saved Marvel was selling off the licensing rights to all the characters to studios.
Marvel only got like 25000 dollars for the rights
That wasn't the serum... it was the anticoagulant weapon. Frost allowed him to catch it and throw it at him because he incorrectly thought that it was the serum.
Wesley Snipes is perfect for this role 👌.
Too bad he’s an asshole and difficult to work with.

I find Marvel has a little bit of everything in the mix. For instance Blade.. but then there is also Squirrel Girl.
Wesley had over the top action star movement down to a T. Everything he does looks cool.
Wesley Snipes was born to play Blade, especially when he uses his Martial Arts to fight Vampires
