there is a moment at the end where blade suplexes a vampire and then pops back up with a bugs bunny cartoon noise in front of a smirking ron perlman. it is pure cinema

I will never be more at peace than watching Wesley Snipes beat people up to techno music

There's literally not a single movie in which the introduction of a fictional drug does not immediately turn it into a cartoon. "There's a new shipment of gronko on the streets." "All the vampires are shooting up blunchies." Then some actor's gotta put red pop rocks in his mouth and act like it's turning him into the wolfman. Truly powerful cinema, this one. And then also the vampires are racist now? I guess!

I like how Whistler just brought the sunglasses with him to the final battle cause he knew Blade was gonna want to aurafarm

Wesley Snipes is the coolest motherfucker to ever daywalk the earth

Total genius move patterning this after ALIENS. Plays its deliriously goofy premise entirely straight, and lets the luxurious pulp design do all the heavy lifting while the endless exposition is delivered by one colorful badass after another. It's all punctuated by some spectacular CG/analog hybrid effects (although the early digital doubling is pretty flimsy). And I'll never get tired of Blade himself, whose greatest attribute is that he absolutely loves killing vampires. There's no equivocation or dark night of the soul. The violence thrills him, and he doesn't have the social skills to realize how inappropriate that is. The only del Toro movie I like, mostly because it doesn't insist that it's actually about anything beyond his high school sketchbook.

This has to be one of the coolest movies ever made, right?

Marvel will never be this cool again I fear

A dude snorts a line of powdered blood like 10 minutes into the movie, and that gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect for the remaining 100 minutes.

7/10

blade whipping out the "whom" while yelling at the reapers in the middle of a fight scene... so attractive to me

Just as much fun as the first, with lots of style and a nice helping of gore.

It’s basically the same as the first but with somehow even more leather😎.

Also, features Kris Kristofferson calling Ron Perlman a “fucking nipplehead”🤣
Fantastic stuff.👌🏻
