Wesley Snipes is a martial arts master. He holds high-level black belts in 5 different arts. This movie, arguably, saved Marvel from bankruptcy.
That makes total sense regarding the fighting scenes! It looked so natural and effortless. I didn’t realize when I watched this that Blade was even a marvel character 😅
At first he didn't have any powers in the comic. Due to his mother being attacked by Deacon Frost, he was immune to vampires. After the movie, Marvel gave him powers in the comics
Yep. But the pianist guy will totally replace him.
Oh wait! Nope...
He needs to be in Deadpool 3
No it didn’t!!
I really respect the fact that you would watch Blade so early on your channel. Most other channels are always trying to ice skate uphill.
i love how Kris delivers the line "Catch you fuckers at a bad time?"
My favorite line in the movie. 😂
To think this was the first modern Marvel movie that started the ball rolling. Blade doesn't get enough credit for what it did. Most people point to Deadpool as being the first graphic and violent superhero movie, but Blade was there long before.
Karen does seem blasé about it. I think it’s due to her being a hematologist; she sees it through a scientific lens, so she’s able to process it better than most of us could.
This movie is awesome because Wesley snipes is awesome. He is to blade what johny Depp is to captain jack sparrow.
Making Blade a half vampire is something made up for the movie. In the comic his exposure as a baby led him to be immune to vampire mind control... But the vampires in the movie didn't have mind control like they do in the Marvel Comics, so that wouldn't work.
The idea that bullets can harm a Vampire really isn't that difficult to imagine, and I've seen about three different ways shown in various pop culture mediums (movies, TV shows, video games, etc.). Ways I've seen include bullets made of silver (like here in Blade), bullets that have been given a bath in holy water, and bullets that have crosses engraved into their tips (like in the movie Priest).
The reason why most of the vampires were immediately turning to ash is because they were taking the weapon strikes in the main body, hitting vital organs like the heart. The reason why the one guy seemed to keep surviving is because he was only losing his hands, or other possibly other limbs historically. Given the assumed history between him and Blade, it's likely that he just got extraordinarily lucky during all their encounters, and vampires are shown to regenerate limbs fairly quickly. Of course, that's just the way it seems to be working from what I see in the movie.
Thank you! That completely lines up with what I saw. Much appreciated :)
Exactly. The reason he survived the first time and likely the other times is because Blade simply allowed him to live. Wasn't anything special about him from the other vampires. The 2nd time is I believe he simply got lucky in the fight by the train and ran away before Blade could finish him off.
Blade leaves Quinn alive so that he can keep tracking Frost
Also, Donal Logue`s Irish-Canadian but almost always plays rednecks, cynical cops and hippies.
Also, fire doesn't kill vampires in this universe.
Now you've seen Blade, you Have to watch Blade II.
It's one of the very rare sequels that is even better than the original.
Nomak 👌🏾top tier.
Very cool reaction video! To answer your question concerning Quinn (Frost's "right hand" man, played by Donal Logue who played Harvey Bullock in Gotham as well as Nicolas Cage's hypeman/manager in Ghost Rider) it is explained in the extras on the original release of the Blade DVD that his type of vampire has a natural resistance to silver and a fairly quick ability to regenerate. There are 12 vampire houses (represented by the members of the council you see in the movie) and each house and the people they turn pass down various traits. This is also mentioned in the commentary track for the film. But the original DVD release had a double-sided disc packed full of extras, going into detail about each individual vampire house and a lot of other interesting information about the film's lore.
Oh holy smokes! Thank you for that! I definitely didn’t gather that from the movie but that’s awesome. Thanks for watching :)
@@cinemawithsteph you’re very welcome! Glad to be a new subscriber 😊
@@cinemawithsteph also blade kept missing his head, heart my guess it's to follow him back to the hideouts so he can kill more vampires like he followed him to the hospital after he set him on fire.
I just subscribed. Wesley is a legit martial artist. As I martial artist myself, the fight scenes especially at this time were excellent. Stephen Dorf was dope as Deacon frost. I completely agree this was the movie that brought Marvel back to the mainstream. You're channel is phenomenal! Keep it up!😎
Thanks so much! I appreciate it :)
Thank you for reaction and for using a very few censorships on movie. There are a lot of reactors who are blurred every freaking bloodspot.
When Blade visited the vampire club there was two Japanese girls on the scene singing a song. It's actual song made especially for the movie. It called "Chin-chin". All the lyrics is the ephemisms about the p*nis.
If you want another "cool-vampires type" movie - I recommend you "Underworld" with Kate Beckinsale.
Great reaction!! Very sweet and sincere; love the fact that more and more people are experiencing the iconic Snipes role that infamously predated the Rated R MCU and Marvel in general!! 🍿🤙🏻👊🏻🔥
I really had no idea until another comment told me Blade is an MCU character 😅 thank you so much for watching!
One thing that often gets overlooked about the finale is that isn't Blade's serum. It's the anticoagulant that the doctor came up with. Frost boasts that he "knows everything" about Blade, but he only knows the surface level stuff, not the finer details. So when frost see's that Blade has a bunch of the vials he assumes they're serums (because Frost thinks like an addict), "I bet you're dying for a drink." "Try some, you might like it." Had Frost actually taken the bait the whole thing would have been over right there.
The first time I saw the glitter bomb vampire die like that was in Buffy... And, if you haven't seen UnderWorld, yet there are 5 movies starring Kate Beckinsale as Celine. She plays a death dealer and dresses like Blade.
Underworld is on the list! I’ll be checking them out at some point :)
@@cinemawithsteph Please do! I prefer the overall lore from Underworld to that of Blade or the Sparklies. I enjoyed your reaction and thoughts. But really, you need popcorn or the movie reaction doesn't count.
Fun Fact: Back when this film was made, we were all supposed to look at Pearl and say, "Eeeewww, GROSS!".
That's not allowed anymore.
Blade kickstarted the MCU. Put some respect on Wesley Snipes name,dammit!
The wouldn’t have made X-men, Spider-Man or hulk if it wasn’t for what this did.
@@donnyouttheway4091 if Wesley Snipes does not get a cameo or at least a shout out in the Blade reboot then I'm not watching it.
Always thought the sunscreen part was stupid. You're still getting sun light on your eyeballs and in the inside of your mouth
I liked Karen, she wasn't the typical love interest or damsel in distress. Watch Blade II next, it's just as awesome but very different stylistically.
I don't like the Blade 2 cyberpunk feel.
@@DestinyAwaits19part 2 came out in 2002. Early 2000s era. What did ya seriously expect, realistically? 😂
My thoughts exactly. Typically women used to be written as the scared women who aren't much help, always scared, and need to be constantly saved or looked after. To me Blade and Whistler toughened her up really fast by immediately leaving her to seemingly have to fend for herself and Blade telling her she'd have to learn to pull the trigger if she wanted to survive.
@@DestinyAwaits19 Um, what the fuck are ya on about? The only thing vaguely "cyberpunkish" about the second film were the ninja get-ups the Bloodpack were introduced in. It was more animeesque or like a John Woo film which fits the tone and aesthetic Norrington set with the original, Del Toro just took it to another level whilst Goyer and the writers and directors of the Series sort of made it more urban, morally ambiguous and gritty like Norrington`s first film with the vampire ash drug allegory as well as expanding on the Pureblood vs. Turnedblood dichotomy within the Vampire Nation with the Purebloods feeling entitled to rule due to being direct descendants of Drake whilst the Turnedbloods are more impatient and sadistic due to the vampire virus and thirst making them see their old human relatives as cattle and food as well as evolutionary inferiors.
@@aspieanarchist5439 Yeah that's all a load of crap. The vampire dance clubs, the techno music, the look of the blood gang....its all cheesy cyber- punk crap. Blade 2 is by far the worst in the trilogy.
I cracked up at the Jeff Bridges guess 😂 solid shot honestly can see that.
0:32- Dhampir. Subtle difference. 14:00- Because she's hot. 22:07- The Beeest of Both Woooorlds!!! 33:49- I volunteer as Tribute.
I think your commentary on Karen was a little misplaced. I agree with you that the character didn't display a huge range of emotions between the time she was bitten until the end of movie. As someone pointed out Karen did not act like the damsel in distress cliche'. Her character wasn't acting like a screaming hysterically or sniveling crying mess. As we see early on in the film, she possibly accepted the fact that she was going to become a vampire, or she became determined to find a cure which she did.
As someone also mentioned that Wesley Snipes is a martial arts master for better part his entire adult life. Snipes also choreographed the fight scenes in this movie and with Snipes being so fast with his movements it was difficult to film his punches at normal speed. Reportedly, the director had asked Wesley if he could slow down a little for better filming. I think it's easier to see individual moves during a 1 on 1 fight as opposed to several attackers at once type of fighting.
Thanks for the comment! My issue with Karen isn’t that she wasn’t a damsel in distress. I prefer female characters who aren’t to be honest. My issue was more that when she finds out these creatures are real, her reaction didn’t line up with how I imagine someone would find out learning that news. You can still be scared or shocked and not be a damsel in distress.
Also that’s crazy about Wesley Snipes! It sounds crazy yet also makes total sense - his fight scenes were amazing!
Thanks for watching!
Number one Karen is an emergency room doctor, there's nothing they haven't seen before. So all the blood isn't really going to freak her out. She's very used to working with blood work lab work so to speak so you know nothing new there. Pretty much after couple days of seeing the s*** she's seen much probably pretty much acceptable I guess at this point. Plain and simple emergency room doctor they've seen it all nothing surprises him anymore after a while. Need to read up or watching videos of real-life emergency room techniques and what they go through along with all the rest of the real life First Responders and what they go through then you'll understand why Karen didn't just freak out every time a door opened.
And I'll add that when Blade and Whistler left her to go home seemingly by herself. She looked definitely scared and somewhat paranoid by everyone she was coming across, especially the people in the elevator. She didn't let her guard down until the cop showed up ironically in her apartment. The cop that was gonna kill her until blade showed up.
Blade is absolutely epic
"Some mother fuckers always trying to ice skate uphill" completely improved by Snipes
Blade is a dhamphir the child born to a pregnant women who is bitten and is thus half vampire and half human. a similar character is Alucard in the video game and anime Castlevania.
Blade along with a few other supernatural based characters such as The Ghost Rider, Hannibal King, Frank Drake (some of dracula) and Michael Mornius (a human scientist to turned himself into a vampire like creature while trying to cure a blood disease) occasionally form a team known as the Midnight sons to fight supernatural villains like Dravula or Mepjisto in marvel comics continuity
0:50 - 0:57 Twilight! Ifykyk😂😂
Why does Karen need to have an extreme reaction to everything. Not everyone is like that. Also she a doctor she has probably seen a whole lot a messed up stuff.
Hey Steph, You need to check out "Underworld" That take Vampire movie to a next sick and slick level. One of my all time favorites.
They’re on my list! I’m excited to check them out. Thanks for watching!
You know how great the casting is, when you just cant imagine any other single actors as blade and whistler.
I like your background. It's calming.
I dont give a crap what the hell people say this is this is where Marvel started with balls with an edge a place where the MCU can't go but Blade did.
Until someone wrote a comment on this video, I didn’t even realize Blade was MCU!
Love this movie and your reaction. Deacon Frost one of my favorite villains.
Pureblood: Born vampire, Turned: Once human.
This movie is awesome
Hope the MCU version of Blade movie is as good like that movie. If it's fucked up like She-Hulk series, I'm going to kill the writers.
16:13 When she says '' is that rly necessary?'' she doest mean beating the cop, she means destroying all the furniture , its her flat lol 😂
@4:01 Yes .....Fellatio
Hi there! You're an excellent reactor 🎉 I'm subscribed and looking forward to more!
Thank you so much!!
"Vampires" that sparkle in the sun, are no vampires...
100% 😂
So, is that where folks know Tracy Lords from, “Cry-Baby”?! LOL, am I that old?!
Yeah. Yeah. We totally know Traci Lords from there.
Oh wait...
Oh, her, I knew the name sounded familiar.
Blade is a dhampyr, that's a human-vampire halfbreed. Being half human, he has the ability to withstand the sun hence the nickname, Daywalker. The pureblood vampires are born, while others like Frost were turned (through bites).
Actually, silver was more of a vampire weakness in the original mythology, in fact the reason vampires had no reflection was because mirrors used to be lined with silver in medieval times. Silver was the holy metal and vampires were considered a satanic corruption of human corpses. Silver being a werewolf weakness was mainly a Hollywood thing like vampires burning up in sunlight.
Alucard from Castlevania would be a more direct comparison to the Blade the Day Walker. Or D from Vampire Hunter D the anime.A vampeel..a hybrid that is just as strong if not stronger. He was born with all the vampire strengths but can exist in the daylight and has a hatred of vampire kind. But still has their thirst for feeding on blood.Much like Alucard had a hatred for his father, Dracula.
The proper term in classical occultism was dhampir.
blade has all the vampire strengths (powers and abilities) but non of the weaknesses, so hes like considered the [erfect vampire
Blade is just messing with quinn , hes purposely going for non fatal wounds
You missed. The end Credits
You're channel is fire. Deacon's right hand man is Donald Logue. He's in Law and order Svu.🥰👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you for watching!
You are so cute & Blade Is such a badass, there’s also a few marvel animes & blade teams up with Wolverine from the X-men in an episode. Loved your reaction & there’s lots of Dark marvel heroes that haven’t been in movies yet
There is an alternate ending of Blade.
Plz also watch these earlier marvel movies like fantastic four 1-2 & ghost rider 1-2.
It was in this moment that she knew... She'd do Wesley...
The only 2 things that bother me all these year's was the bus was a good 20/30 yards away and he kept driving towards the girl. And there clearly on the west coast but the sun is rising not setting.
They’re SILVER BULLETS. An HES THE DAY WALKER…. He has ALL THEYER STRENGTHS AN NONE OF THEYER Weaknesses.
I recommend. "Problem", but it has to be the flip flop version 🔥🔥 I also really like "Mi Yard". Her last CD was the first CD l have bought in 17 years!
The redheaded girl is played by Traci Lords. Before she became an actress she was in the porn industry. She lied about her age and was very popular for the time. Which lasted until law enforcement found out that she was underage when she entered the porn industry. That means anyone who owns her movies when she was underage can be arrested for child porn.
Loved the commentary, and after watching this and your Bourne reaction I am positive you would love the Anne Rice vampires. Check out Interview with a Vampire and enjoy seeing a young Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise portray some classy vampires!
No sparkle here! :D But kickass action for 90s club music with badass Wesley.
If you like it definitelly watch Blade 2. It's arguably better.
*THE SECOND ONE IS BETTER!!!!*
The third one... is a movie...
There's a TV series... it's not bad, but it cuts off after one season, mid story-line.
Well it's been two weeks since you've seen this. 10 July, the one you thought was Jeff Bridges that is Kris Kristofferson. Singer-songwriter movie star. He also did a star is born with Barbra Streisand, then he did Convoy 1978 with Ali MacGraw. Oh yeah and he has a top-notch bunch of country songs one of them was titled ,"why me Lord"? Beautiful gospel Christian song. One that I really enjoyed "Sunday morning coming down".
The best Marvel movie.
can i ask where your watching this from? i had this on DVD and iv seen it on a free movie site but they had subtitles when they spoke that vampire language. im just wandering why they dont here. and in case your wander Blade was talking about the 12 sacrifices and the blood god in their language :) iv noatest the lack of subtitles bf in this vid im just not sure why it took me this long to bring it up : / (edit) i do have a thought and why his mom is acting like this. maybe be coming a vampire you loose your humanity in the literal sense meaning if you where a saint as a human you become evil and deductive as a vampire even to what was once your family, which is a sick not going to lie X_X i cinda sucks though that when Blade sun kicked that last BoomBoom serum in to Frosts head the screen was blured. that was an EPIC way to (and in the words of Mortal Combat: FINISH HIM) lol im sorry not sorry i just got weird there at the end. that can happen. i get what i call "weird" spikes lol. and lets be honest im with Steph no one likes a karen lol aaaand it continues ill stop now...
Thanks for checking out my video! I actually watched it on Netflix :) it should still be on there. Also, great point about his mom! That would actually make total sense
Unless you're a fan of pointless fight scenes, the stupidest of one liner's and Ryan Reynold's quips 12 years before Deadpool, Triple H of WWE's cardboard acting and finally the dumbest renamed version of Dracula ever by all means skip Blade Trinity. Wesley Snipes hated it and the script so much he pretty much phoned in his parts and had his Stunt Double and Stand-In do all the scenes for him when he didn't have lines and even some when he did. lol
Oh ouch that sounds pretty brutal 😅
@@cinemawithsteph Blade Trininty suffered from a lot of plot holes, a terrible villain, and a director who deliberately sidelined the main character for the supporting cast. Blade 2 however is just as good if not better than the first movie.
You can say Karen Killed Frost
Now watch Dance Macabre by Ghost. Notice the similarities?
If you're trying bonkers vampire movies there's always LifeForce from 1985. It's quite unique. 😎
I’ll add it to my list, thanks!
Underrated movie but very top drawer. This vampire movie has a Twist to it but she's hot doing it.
Im a new subscriber did you ever watch Demolision Man?
Yes! I LOVE that movie! 👏🏻
Blurring the movie so that you can speak and be focused on is kind of low. But it was cool to see young people realize how great this movie is good stuff.
It was either blur it so people can kind of get an idea as to what’s going on in the movie, or take the portion of the video out. It all is because of copyright problems
@@cinemawithsteph so it was a copyright issue, you should say that in the beginning of the video because it translated to something that I must apologize for. I’m sorry that I said that Steph. It’s always great seeing younger audiences enjoy Wesley Snipes’s Blade. I want a lot of these videos like yours, and it puts a smile on my face, I saw it in the theater so that’s how old I am.😅 there are many old films that still hold up today like Blade and others like Aliens and Batman 1989 that I hope are appreciated by you and the younger generation.
@@00chaka Honestly, I don't generally make a point of saying it as I think it's a common theme amongst reaction channels, but I understand the confusion. Regarding older movies, I think they're important to check out! Movies today can only be as good as they are from what they've learned from films prior :)
Is she ummm...lol
1:41 so you’re a Twilight fan?
The books and movies were massive when I was younger. I definitely drank the kook-aid lol
I love Cry-Baby! Another fun Traci Lord's movie is Zack and Miri Make a Porno. So fun!
Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) might be a nice one for you 😊🥰🥰.
Thank you! I’ll add it to my list :)
34:17 😆🤣 Apparently sharing your blood with a vamp is quite intimate not sure if thats in lore but I seen another vamp from another show get pist when their lover shared blood with another vampire.
Steph are you doing the mcu
Unfortunately I’ve already seen pretty much all of them with the exception of a few, so they wouldn’t be first time watches
While there have certainly been better super hero films made since Blade it stands as a bit of a classic, not just a pretty good film in its own right but the real starting point to Marvel as a movie power house. Prior to blade there was just a handful of usually low budget failures from an ailing Marvel (Especially as compared to DC who had several big successes with some Batman and Superman films. The early ones of which still hold up today.), after Blade there was X-Men, Spiderman, etc leading up to and in to the MCU juggernaut that dominated for a decade and is only just losing steam these past couple of years.
What kind of movies do you like ? i seen a lot of generes of movies.
Dropped out, too much blurring going on.
Cry Baby is Grease but better, I'm not joking Cry Baby is in my top 5 musicals but it is beat for beat Grease with better story and actors, also PCU is Animal House.
Ooooh I don’t know about that. Grease is one of my all time favorites lol, but Cry Baby is definitely up there!
Blade is fucking amazing... other black character people don't know much about is Spawn, movie is fun but kinda dated.
The other Blade movies were OK.. not really as good as the first.
I somewhat disagree. I thought Blade 2 was the best and didn't like Blade 3 much at all.
Mahershala Ali will play Blade in the MCU.
Yaaaay....
You haven't figured out that the Blade movie is. Never getting made huh? The rate it's going, Mahershala Ali will be older than Sam Jackson by the time it comes out. 😂😂
@@bryce253 which is it? Never or a long time from now? Good thing black don't crack...
Also even if he never gets his own movie, he's already made one appearance... So...
Was he the actor of Cottonmouth from Luke Cage Season 1?
Twilight is NOT about "vampires". STOP BELIEVING THAT GARBAGE ... GIRLS!
Go watch some Dracula if you want some REAL vampires.
This movie made Snipes a star, and the sequel was slightly more successful.
Wesley Snipes was a star before this movie
Helloww Steph, wow you're pretty. nice to meet you. i'm odv
I was a teenager when Tracy Lords was still making some quite good Porno films. As far as I know she is the First to move from Porn to Hollywood Movies. 🤔Come to think of it really makes no difference who you sell your soul to in the end, its all Satan in the end.
I didn’t even know she did that 😅
@@cinemawithsteph ohh yeah she did look her up. 😃
Blade was a really cool vampire movie with a meh ending. Blade 2 is a meh movie with a really cool ending. If that convinces you to watch blade 2.
Too much blur on the movie. Terrible reaction.
I wanted to watch with u I watched your blade 2 reaction the editing was better but this one not so much unless reactors learn to leave more of the movie visible and not blurred out with the person going off on theories and questions its literally pointless its basically watching someone watch a blurred out screen with 7 seconds of footage and 10 seconds of it blurred continuously like I said ur blade 2 was watchable but this was pointless it was just blurred out 80% of the time sorry babe
Rather than actually watching the damn movie, she's busy questioning everything. Watch the movie, you'll have your answers! 😂😂😂
