Snipes admitted years ago that he loved the 1st one, like the 2nd, but hated the 3rd with a burning passion. The only 2 reasons he took on Blade in the 3rd movie is because he was contractually obligated to and because he needed a big paycheck. At the time, he was fighting the IRS because of tax evasion. TO this day, 19 years later, Snipes $20M paycheck is one of the highest paydays any actor has ever received, excluding when actors get a slice of box office earnings.

Yeah the first two were sick but after that they lost focus

@KGBeast. 2 года назад

Yeah fuck Blade Trinity

@aj4461 Год назад

This is the agreed upon view everyone has anyway right?

@petaisajoke Год назад

I actually think the second film is the superior one out of the first two just because the horror elements are more intense and the villain is more complex. Although the opening sequence of blade 1 is the best scene in all 3 films.

@comradestarbucks2726 6 лет назад

The reaper strain is much more similar to the romainian _strigoi_ legends in appearance than modern vampire myths; I always kind of liked that. I suppose it'd be a bit much to ask from Blade II to show them having a preference for rainstorms over any old night when they hunt, though. Maybe they did, it's been a while since I've seen the movie...

1. How strong is a human (compared to a Vampire ) 2. Vampire strength (measurable quantity ) 3. Reaper strength

@filmcomicsexplained 6 лет назад

Its safe to say that Vampires are at least 2-3 times stronger than humans. Reapers are also 2-3 times stronger than traditional vampires. And Blade is obviously stronger than anything ever lol

@Profile__1 6 лет назад

Amon the Emprah R023R What pisses me off is the film after this one. In the first and 2nd one, it's obvious how much weaker a human is to a vampire; you see it demonstrated with the female MC and Whistler, as they just get easily tanked when assaulted. In the second one, you again see it with Whistler and Norman Reedus's character whenever they try to fight vampires. BUT IN THE 3RD ONE, RYAN REYNOLD'S CHARACTER JUST FIGHT A VAMPIRE 2X HIS SIZE AS IF IT'S PRACTICALLY NOTHING. SAME FOR JESSICA BIEL'S CHARACTER.

@Profile__1 6 лет назад

Amon the Emprah R023R Jessica's character overpowers several vampires throughout the movie. During her intro against the 3 hoodlums and the final battle, she almost primarily fights them hand-to-hand. It's inexcusable.

@arcticangel1628 Год назад

@@wilsonno9675 Yes. I would say so.

@DylanShafer-ki3ks Год назад

@@arcticangel1628actually, I find that hard to believe. The reapers in the movies were shown to be capable of infecting not just humans, but vampires as well, and Blade is half human and half vampire, so while it makes sense for Blade to be immune to vampire bites, it still wouldn't make sense for him to be immune to reaper bites too if it can infect both humans and vampires. To be fair though, this is just speculation as we never got to see it, so you could be right and he could be immune to even that, but I just find it hard to believe since the infection seems more powerful than a vampire's, and can infect even them, but who's to say.
