Directed by Academy Award winner Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water, Pan’s Labyrinth), Blade II (2002) takes Marvel’s Daywalker saga to new, blood-soaked heights. Wesley Snipes (Demolition Man, White Men Can’t Jump) returns as Blade, the half-human, half-vampire warrior sworn to rid the world of the undead. This time, Blade must form an uneasy alliance with the Bloodpack — a lethal team of vampires led by Nyssa Damaskinos (Leonor Varela – Cleopatra, Arrested Development) and Asad (Danny John-Jules – Red Dwarf, Maid Marian and Her Merry Men) — to stop a terrifying new breed of predator: the Reapers. With their grotesque split jaws and insatiable thirst, the Reapers threaten both humans and vampires alike. Memorable moments include the explosive nightclub fight, Blade’s intense sword battles, and the shocking reveal of Nomak (Luke Goss – Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Death Race 2) as the first of the Reapers and Nyssa’s brother. Also starring Kris Kristofferson (A Star Is Born, Lone Star) as Whistler, Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead, The Boondock Saints) as Scud, and Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy) as Reinhardt, Blade II is a gothic action-horror classic filled with del Toro’s signature visuals, martial arts spectacle, and bloody mayhem. Aaron Alexander & Tara Erickson react to, review, and break down the legendary fights, monster design, and Blade’s enduring impact on Marvel and comic book cinema.

Josh, you can call me Scuddo. Everybody does. What you're doing here? A Pimpmobile? Just a little aftermarket modification. Nitrossox out of shit like that. The Pipmobile. Motion sensor is Stone 3, gentlemen.

Human. Body temperature 50, I'd get suckhead. Suckhead. Love that. That is a hilarious name for vampire. They do suck head. They're using magnesium flares. They got your security system scoped out.

Ooh, great choreography. Love this. Whoa. What is your intentions? This is amazing. This is so sick, dude. What the hell? This is some of the coolest fight, like, stunt choreography I've seen.

That looks robotic. That's video game. rubbery. This is real. They do cut to some, a couple of weird shots, but I forgive it, because that whole thing was pretty dope. We represent the ruling body of the vampire nation.

They're offering you a truce. Oh? This is Nisa. You have been our most feared enemy. But now there's something else loose on the streets. Something worse than you. It's that guy with the tongue thing.

They tell stories about Blade of the Boogie Man. I'm disappointed. You hear that B? Come on, B, show her. Come, I'm pretty pleased. Sim techs. Enough explosives to level a city block.

You're still disappointed. He may be a little shit, but he's an effective hype man. Guards a human, B. Probably familiar. You gotta take a shot every time. He calls him B. That's so funny. I love it.

You sure about this? Well, if I'm not. I get you, Blaine. Father. Oh, he's creepy. An Nospheratu? I don't know, no, thank you. Blade, this is Overlord Eli Damaskinos.

Overlord. Carol Cruz movie. You're human? Bernie, I'm a lawyer. Tach. Vampireism is a horrible virus. We've encountered a new one. We've dubbed it the Reaper strain.

Oh. It appears to have found a carrier. The strain of vampireism? Fascinating. There. I never thought of in those terms before. Yeah, a guy with the tongue, for sure. Like, what's...

He feeds are not just humans, but vampires as well. Oh. Their vampire victims don't die. They turn. They become carriers. There'll be hundreds before the weeks out. Wow. Damn, man, I'm really worried about him.

I think you should watch him. Nobody goes cold turkey from the thirst in just one night. Yeah, like, I was like, wait. Then we would just tell those people we have a cure because he hasn't turned. But I was like, no, he has to keep pumping him with that stuff. What do you have? Hawaiian ice, whatever you need.

What if I need you? Oh! Ah! I'm so sweet. Cros. Oh. Weird. Got him.

Building his little army of weirdos. A little bald armor. Meet the blood pack. Lighthammer. Verlane. Priest. Snowman. Trooper and Reinhardt.

Oh, wow. Ron Perlman. I didn't know he was in this. Me and the gang were wondering. What was that? What was that? Can you blush? Does he just have a line of hair in the back?

You've been training for two years to take me out. And now here I am. So excited. Adolf here gets the first shot. Maybe you need a little bit of incentive. Ooh! That was awesome. Thick as hell.

What the actual F? What, you need a manual? Do it again, do it again. Ooh, got you, I ask. Nice! Oh, what the hell is that? Silver nitrate. We need to go off at anybody tamper's with it.

I'll have the detonator with me. If you're so much, just look at me wrong. From now on, we work as a unit. You've been taking orders from me. Any questions? His comment, coupled with the fact that Blade called him Adolf. Yeah. I guess that was a racist.

A little bit. We're talking at all the night places where vampires congregate. So, what's first? The House of Pain. The House of Pain. I don't see any signs. No vampire blifts. No, because of you, we've had to rethink our habits.

Have a closer look. It's weird. They do a lot of ADR with the co-stars. Wesley and the bigger leads are always miced up, but when they're outside I can tell it's ADR, but it doesn't bug me that much. The vials are filled with an anticoagulant called EDTA.

One punch with this, you blow your target up like a balloon. Oh, cartridge ejects, automatic reload. Dope. Cool. Auto reload. You won't pass for one of us. No way. Like I give a shit. I appreciate the pacing and the lower expansion

of this one. So the blood pack's calling the shots now, huh? Great. Better curb that dog ears and we'll do it for you. Yeah, like, have you forgotten that, like, you have a bomb snapped your head, bro? Survive, survive, survive, survive. What exactly we're looking for in here? Anything that looks suspicious. Look for suspicious, look for suspicious.

Oh, another club! Reach, treat, reach, reach. Shot, shot, shots. You won't it, won't it? That's funny. Oh, why God? Oh my God, what? Scott, do you read me?

Scott. It's going to go very differently than the last time he was in the club of vampires. Half of these bastards are not even pure bloods. Pure bloods. Why don't we just fucking kill everyone? just to make sure she's in Norias Irish

Ew gnarly It's like a little Golm Yeah did you not see Gollum just now buddy Oh he Oh, my God. Did he get Krispy Kreme delivered in a weird box?

I don't want it. Oh, my God. No one in that closet. They got me a little bit. I'm on the roof. I got him on the roof of my bus. Oh, no. Oh, oh, oh, no.

No, no. We can't lose him again. Where are he at? Maybe he ran inside to warn him, but why wouldn't he take him? the gun that's dumb he would take his gun I think always take oh something's going to behind her right there what oh oh or not that's not what they're coming from it's a weird it's like a hammer with steak on it well you better stop when you get

That was disgusting. That was gnarly. Oh, wow, I've never seen anything like that before. I was some daylight, motherfucker. Yeah, daylight's coming soon. Pray for it. I mean, if he was smart, he'd have a UV light in his fan. Oh! Oh!

You're going to turn. How fast does it work, though? I guess we'll see. Don't cover it. I'm trying to hide it. You let them know. Listen to me. If you're under attack, use your UV lights.

Use your UV lights. I can't take the light. Got cold as hell. But, like, no. It's a good reason. Where did you go? Oh, you're sophisticated. Oh, yeah, he likes this.

Wild. Oh, good! Weird as hell, that's a great effect, though. Look so good and disgusting. Priest is down. I was wondering where the, in all the chaos that, I forgot our blade was. Look, we hadn't seen him in a minute. You and I, we have the same enemy.

We want the same thing. You don't try to take out everybody. Oh, get him. Here we go. Yeah, here we go. Here we go. We're going to have to watch out for the light coming in, and that's going to be crazy.

It's only going to affect one of us. Yeah, pop him like a balloon blade. Okay, super kicks. Whoa! the heck was oh nice love that sound nice oh is he gonna blow up is he gonna about to blow up oh oh whoa whoa gem what is that oh is he containing it he's containing it he fought it oh no we gotta go again thank Got it auto reloads.

I feel like if you just kept hitting it with that, it might have worked. But I think you gave him a little too much time to recharge on that. But hey, I'm glad we got to see that it doesn't work as effectively. Yeah. Get that blade, blade. Exactly. Oh, here goes the sign. Oh, do, do, do.

Oh, yeah, get that reflection. him oh look at him hopping all around yeah buddy what a little freak why didn't you tell me these things were immune to silver and garlic I didn't know what did he kill you oh skin is fucking burning he's only starting to change oh god hey it's coming out no thanks oh there comes the mouth yeah just break it we held him up in front of a window y'all come on now oh oh oh love that love that love that the power of sun compels you badass that's a very cool effect the one blinking eye love that was your blood

Want me to carve his fucking name on your chest? Let me show you. Yeah, I trust our guy, for sure. But why do they not show it, though? They want us to feel suss about him. He's going to show us right now. He was trying to crawl back in the culvert. He caught his arm.

It's already dying. I need to examine it as quickly as possible. Who? Blood it's in? Yeah. I've been informed by our friend inside that events are unfolding as scripted. I'm worried that your pecks are ribs. How many more are you willing to sacrifice every woman?

Even your own daughter? Especially my daughter. Yes. Oh. Okay. Wow. All right. Faith those weird rib pecks.

in that blood, buddy. In that blood bath. They need fresh blood every couple of hours. Or they start feeding on themselves. No Mac's different. He's the carrier. It all started with him. It'll end with him.

Wow. Chew on themselves. Open the mouth, Scud. Oh, gut the mouth. D. Come on. Sissy. Oh my God, I can't believe. I...

Why is that not a meme? Oh, wow. I really don't want to. The practical version of this is crazy. It is amazing effects. I will give it that. Squeeze that tooth, Scud. Ew.

Why? Squeeze it. Juice that tooth, scud. Ah! Yep, yep, yep, yep. Look like pus. Neuroxin, probably paralyzes their victim while they feed. Oh, God, disgusting.

Garlic don't work? Silver, that don't work. Sun does. We gotta go with the sunlight, though, right? That's deadly to us, too. So let's see what you can find. You have the old UV guns, though? He's gonna turn, see how it's covered up.

He's for sure gonna turn. It's covered up. Look at him. His juices. Yep. Your blood's already turned to the juice, buddy. God, that looks gross. Disgusting. Whoa.

Wow. The heart is encased in bone. They want ham on these effects. That looks amazing. Oh! Pull a leg off a spider keeps moving on its own. Essentially trying to walk without a body attached to it. Oh, God. What is she doing?

Oh. Because it'll still, yeah, it's still not a response to it. Oh! It's like putting an oil in an engine. Who did these effects? Because they're freaking amazing, and I hope you won an award. What happens sometimes? We hunt.

You brought daylight? You gotta be fucking joking. What about your suits that you guys had on? Sunlight's the only edge we've got. They'll be more vulnerable there. And so will we remember to protect yourselves at all times. Okay, then. Reject Nation, you and I make decisions every day.

But on prize picks, being right can actually get you paid. Now, truth, my wife is a massive football fan. In fact, just a few weeks ago, I got to go back to our hometown. Watch a glorious Denver Broncos game. Never been to a football game before. It was a hoot. Needless to say, she's the real fantasy sports expert in the house. She really gets involved.

Like, no joke. And why am I talking about this? Because we're talking about prize picks. And what's prize picks? It's a skill-based daily fantasy. not gambling because it's all about knowledge and strategy not luck you just pick more or less on two player stats for example sequin barclay more or less than one rushing t d for those who are not in the know that means touchdown joe burrow more or less than 2.5 passing t d's touchdowns anyway you

get your picks right and you win cash and you can play in over 40 states including california texas and georgia try stacks pick the same player up to three times or follow friends and creators to copy their lineup in one click and if your player leaves early injury reboot protects your lineup so reject nation you can download the price picks app today and use code rejects to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup that's code rejects get $50 in lineups after your first $5 lineup prize fix it's good to be right why do you hate us so much it's in my blood the only difference between us is that I'm in peace with what I am a long time ago okay Now I'm not in the feeding mood.

You know what? I'm not hungry anymore. You ruined my appetite. Oh. Whoa. UV bomb. Sick. All right.

Papa's got a brand new bag. Love that. Moving into the montage where we show the weapons and the people getting ready. Getting ready. Getting ready. Hunt him like he's Freddie. Got to get him dead. Blah, blah, blah. Blow, blow.

Pium, pion, pion. How the hell are we going to find these reapers? We won't have to. They'll come to us. Oh. What just happened there? Let me just ask questions. We start shooting stuff.

Harvest it from the reapers' adrenal glands. They're going to key to it. They want us to spray on some suck puppies' nut juice. What a line. Me like you're getting confused as to which side of the line you're standing on. Those are real hollow words coming. from a man who just spent two years running with the enemy. What the hell's that supposed to be?

Exactly what I said. Trying to attract them, not scare them all. Yeah, well, some of us can't see in the dark, your fucking nipple head. You, the fuck do it. Ain't nobody here, but you and us butter cup. No. Why are you guys messing with him?

For years I've struggled with our kind of any hereditary weaknesses. It's so. Looks like Dino DNA! Normac was the first a failure. But in time, there'll be a new pure race, begotten from my own flesh, immune to silver. Soon even sunlight. I got a question for you, a lion's son of a bitch.

You want to explain how Nomak got a hold of this ring? Is it your son or something? The family crest. I would have thought that was obvious at this point. I give it to him, of course, gift from father to son. Dun, dun, done. And they do lookalikes. It kind of makes sense.

Ooh. Oye, aye, aye. God. Those blood ties mean nothing to me when measured against the ascendancy of our rice. That's crazy. Who do you think God really favors in the web? The spider on the fly.

Oh. Geez. He wants revenge who created him. You may be right. He doesn't know this location. Now he does. Oh. He was just trying to say we're on the same side.

Yeah. He's trying to raise up an army to take down his daddy. Yeah. That's right, Whistler, get him. Come on now, don't stop. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay. Can we get him? Nice. Nice, Whistler.

Just let the light come in while you hold her, blade. I want to see the sun. Called it. Are you going to kiss? Kiss them before she dies? Oh, no. I was like, it looks like they were, maybe. Mr. B, I don't feel so good.

Dang. Beautifully sad. Turned ash in his arms. Bye, girl. London Town. Body boot number three. Enjoy, man. And die.

Oh, this guy, you let him live. That's right in the beginning. Are you sure that the girls have life? Life. Well, you didn't think I forgot about you, did you? Yes. Gamel Dutoro did this one. I had no idea that he directed this.

David S. Goyer wrote it? Savage. Yo, this one was sick. All righty, you guys, we are going to get into Blade 2 review slash Patreon questions. Before that, though, if you're listening to this on Apple or Spotify, make sure you go and give us five freaking stars. We want to thank the people over our prepper for cutting down, chopping down these highlights.

Also, if you listen to this on YouTube, thank you so much. Leave a like, subscribe, comment, and what are you going to do, Tara? Ring the bell. Zoom can get notified and time of new videos coming out. All right, so we are going to get straight into the questions, because oftentimes what happens is we, give our opinion, and then we end up covering what's on here anyway. So, yeah, we're going to jump straight into it.

So without further ado, Clayton Crook, Blade 2. What would be your IMDB rating for this movie? Tara? 8.9. 8.9, yeah, I'm pretty close. I think this is probably one of the best comic book movies I've seen. And I was in a lot of comic movies, but this definitely lived up to the hype. It was exciting.

It built upon the original one of the very interesting and fun way. The action was sick. The vibes, the music, the way that it was shot was incredible. Yeah. Wesley Snipes was a badass through and through. The white choreography was great. Yeah. I think this is definitely up there for me.

I think this is like, dare I say, in the 9 out of 10 range. Like, awesome. Awesome, awesome. I'm with you on that. God, it was great. And the effects, outstanding. Yeah. Like, from practical effects to, yes, there are a few moments where the CGI where I was like, that looks weird.

It was like two to three seconds. That's it. The rest of it. Yeah, beautiful. Awesome. Kev B. Thank you for sending the question, man. Hope you brought your silver things get weird after dark.

Yeah, they do. Guillermo Dorotoro's thumbprint all over this sequel. Was there a creature designed, fight scene, or over-the-top visual that made you think, yep, only Del Toro could dream this up. I love that. You know, in retrospect, I'm like, yeah, this feels like Derroto from the practical effects to some of like the fight scenes. I was like, this feels sort of reminiscent to some of the type of things I saw in. something like hellboy and yeah this was phenomenal i had no idea it was him but as soon as i saw

his name in the credits i was like that makes so much sense that makes a ton of sense uh yeah was there anything that stood out for you as do i would say the design of the new guys like the mouth opening up this like the just them having the scar us not knowing then it's a big reveal and then also like the had the way the creatures scale the wall um and going from I'm like, that actually looked really real, but there's some other times going from the CGI into landing in a fight

position, and it's actually them. The mix of that was like wild. And yeah, I didn't know that this was Del Toro's film at all until I saw the title credit. So I'm like, oh, yeah, I get it. Like, that's why there's so many things

that when I was watching this thinking, this takes a lot of work. Like this shit that they're doing is difficult to actually deliver in a film meaning it takes a lot of time money like patience you got to have like a visual for it in order for it for someone to carry it through and have it be a success and obviously he did that yeah he absolutely killed it yeah the creature designs were incredible all of the fight scenes like all the practical mix-ins with cgi all the the sword work was incredible. You think it looks

like it was mostly, if not all, Wesley Snipes and Cameron doing all that. For sure. And yeah, all the over the top visuals were Magnifico, perfect. I would not change a thing as far as the design and the fight scenes go. Yeah, this was phenomenal. Yeah. Thank you, Kavvy, for

sending in the question. You're the rocks. You're the man. It's late. All right, Michael. Mr. Michael Pennant. I say that right? Mr. Michael Panop Would you rather be a vampire or a werewolf?

You know, we haven't seen werewolves in this world as of yet or I don't know if that's going to be a thing, but I'm going to go with a werewolf and I'll explain after Terry gives her answer. You know, I'm thinking

I'm thinking a werewolf because you could still be human and then you switch over at the mood and then you eat it up and then you switch back. Exactly, yeah. At least I can still go out and do stuff in the daytime. And I think, depending on what werewolf rules are playing by, it's only a full moon.

So I can prepare for that in advance because, you know, we've got lunar app cycles and all that crap now. So, yeah, I just check my app. You still live a great old life. I can live a great old life. I'm just like, ooh, yeah, full moon. Can't be out. Sorry, y'all.

I've got to lock myself up. But, yeah, I feel like how about more freedom and versatility as a werewolf. So yeah, that's our answer. Let us know what you guys want to be in the comments below. Thanks, dudes. All right, Pavel Ketchmarek. I think I said that right. Thank you for sending in your question. I appreciate you so much, as well as all of us here at the Reject Nation. Right now, we know that Germel D'Oittorl was an inspired choice to direct the movie. Back then, he was still a relatively fresh face. With that in mind, would you go for

a promising fresh face or an experienced artist with name suggestions if possible to direct the ill-fated probably never going to have an MCU blade? Seriously, they gave us two Captain Marvels and they still can't give us one blade? Yeah, that is very valid.

Yeah, do you have any choices you think of the blade? I've got to look up what Giamer there, Toro did before this to give you a better response to Okay. In the meantime, I, yeah, because I think a fresh face would be good, a fresh director. I'm thinking the guy who did, this on the newer side, the dude who did, like, the harder they fall, I think he'd be a really cool choice for a movie like this. He has a really unique directing style. And yeah, he made a really cool Black Western with, you know, a star set of cast, Regina King, Jonathan Major, Edgisselba.

And I think he made something really dope after that, but I need to look it up. But, yeah, someone like that, Ryan Coogler, given sinners he just did, bro, Ryan Coogler Blade would be insane. And he probably had a bunch of, like, cultural subtext to it as well. I would love to see that. I don't know if they would do that. I know he's pretty versed in the, one, starting his own career outside of, you know,

franchise or establish things. but also he's very enveloped in the MCU Black Panther, Wakanda side of things. I don't know if they would do Blade, but those are two choices off the top of my head. As an actor to play Blade? Oh, as an actor? I mean, we got... Or what were you just... They're talking about directors.

Oh, yeah. Who did you say? Look at the guy's name because he did the movie The Harder They Fall. And I really liked his work there. the harder they fall back in 2021 I'm sorry for okay here's my answer

is that he was a newly inspired director but his movie right before this was the devil's backbone and it got 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.4 Guillermo and so that's what I was like

oh I need to to see what he was doing prior. And he had done films in the 90s as well. There's like two films that he did, but those were like more in the 60s range. But then he made that one, the year before, and it was really good. And I assume that's probably why they took the risk on him.

They saw something and growth and was like, yeah, let's make it happen. I don't know who I would have in mind to, did you have a new one? Yeah, so I had a couple in mind. So I think that James Samuel, he'd be a really cool directoring choice for that. He did a really fun, good movie called The Heart of They Fall. Or Ryan Coogler, I think, would be an also really inspired choice, possibly Nia da Costa.

She'd also be a fun choice for something like this. Her new Predator movie looks really dope. I'm sorry, her 28 days later, 28 years later, sequel looks really cool. cool yeah um i watched that on a channel yeah no and the seed so danny boyle directed the first one and the sequels come out in january you're talking about yes got it got it uh she did candy man i really liked i remember liking candy man but um yeah those are my two for now let us know other choices you guys think will be really dope for a blade reboot and you know eventually we'll get marcia la lia's blade i think he's an inspired choice that would be great if he decides to leave the project i think

as someone like Trevante Road to be really cool blade as well. Yeah, but thank you for the question. And yeah, keep on sending them in. Jay Rustin, thank you for sending in the question, dog. We really appreciate it. We're here every freaking video, and we're always excited to get your questions. If you want to see more Delmo, sorry, if you want to see more del Toro vampires, there is an old show called The Strain.

Oh, okay, I'm down for that. question what vampire power would you like most in film what do i like most in the film um do you have one vampire power do i like the most huh it's funny because like the way the power the power is really like with blade where you want to be a day walk because the vampires are like you're out in the sun it's done you're underground and you got to feed all the time it's like to me it seems like a pain in the ass the only plus that i would take is that you're just young forever i think that would be the power that you just you look the same forever you get to live forever yeah that is pretty cool i don't know to toss because i think like the i guess it really depends on what variation of vampire but like the super strength are really cool also the turn into a bat thing would be pretty dope as well I don't want to turn to a bat. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Flapping around, a quick getaway. I'm like to start through the sky. Hell yeah. Yeah, but, um... It's freaking bats! I love Halloween. Thank you so much for the question, Jay Rushing. You are a superstar.

Awesome, Joe. My first time on Patreon, you guys have inspired me to join and ask a question because I enjoy watching your videos and I am a movie lover myself. Thank you, Don. We appreciate you for sending them the question. What movie do you remember

growing up with that your parents and slash teachers were okay with you as a kid to watch that were rated R? Thanks again. Keep on Living the Dream as always. You have any rated R movies? I mean, it grew up on movies.

I'm sure there's tons. None of them stick out because I was allowed to watch whatever. Your favorite rated R movie from your childhood? I can't remember. Like that was rated R, and I don't, like, I don't have the best memory of my childhood. Universe probably was like, you could block some of this stuff out.

No, I don't have any rated R ones. I didn't really watch a lot of rated R movies as a kid, to be honest with you. Because, yeah, my parents were a little strength, so I didn't really get to watch the rated R movies until I was older. my mom would just like cover my eyes in the theater if it was like bad or if there was like sex on there or naked stuff sin yeah but other than that i got to watch it no i think the most raunchy movie i can think of off the top of my head that was like maybe risque was like pooty tang but i don't really remember it all that well but i know that i saw it as a kid um yeah i got to see batman begins and harry potter as a child and i was i was so scared that i had to leave the theater because i was going to pee-my-pea I went to go see you with my dad and I was like dad let's go and he was annoyed but he was a kid I was a little son so

what are you going to do? But yeah that's the closest I have to an answer for you. Thank you for sending the questions Joe. I appreciate you for doing the damn thing and being awesome. You're a rock star dog. Yeah man. All right hold on

is that our last one? Is that our last one? This is and it says it's from Kev B, it's a trivia, it's our final one. All right, over 30 cast and crew members were temporarily blinded during the vampire autopsy scene due to overexposure to UV rays used on set. Wesleyne's life said, Blade 2 was his personal favorite in the franchise. You know?

What? That's wild. That sucks. Yeah, you're blinded? Good God. I would love to see the BTS. Blinded by the lie. Bye, baby.

I would love to see some, some BTS. That's insane. Like, I got to look up just a few more trivia because I think that's, oh, my God. What? Okay. What would you rate this film? What? I don't know, scale from one to ten?

No, like on Rotten Tomatoes. I'm sorry. Oh, you put up the Rotten Tomatoes. I did because then I'm going to go to the trivia real quick. I personally would probably give it like 92 but something tells me critics gave it like a 66 Critics gave it a 57

What? And the audience gave it a 68 What? That's why I when I looked at this I went like Like I was like offended Because this movie is savagely good Like look at the effects

Look at all the work that was put in Go F yourself If you gave it a 57 Like are you insane? What's the problem? Like this movie did a good, it couldn't, listen, it maybe didn't need to be two hours. You know what I think? It may be if they dropped it down to an hour and a half, cut out a few things, made the stuff a little bit quicker.

Like when we go, when we're like looking around, I don't know, I guess cut to it faster. But like, you, I'm. That's crazy. I can't. I can't. That legit kind of makes me upset because I'm like, do you guys know how hard is to make film? This was badass. okay um no i thoroughly enjoyed it yeah well well we we answered some questions

terry do you have any like additional thoughts that you didn't you wanted to cover that you that weren't answering the questions yeah um oh my god uh i just like i think that that is wild that they were temporarily blinded like you could sue but thank god they got their eyesight um i really i mean this movie is is a blast errone the as i said the effects the stunts are great Nisa, I didn't think that she was the strongest actress that they could have chosen, but I was all right with her. I could tell in some of her dialogue, she must have been foreign, but she was cast to speak, I believe,

obviously, standard American, totally fine. There was just some stuff where I was like, but what a phenomenal cast. I was glad that they brought Whistler back, that that was a thing. Like, he cuts him down, and he's back and ready to go. and they end up helping each other out and the fact that we end there with them again made me like really happy

and yeah I liked it I'm down with this film yeah no I thoroughly enjoyed it as well I think that it improved upon the first one in some really interesting ways the fact that the first one was this movie that was kind of told from the perspective of the doctor the the girl who got kind of introduced to

the medical or the vampire stuff that was happening that Blade was kind of working with last time. And then this one, she's absent from the movie. But I didn't bother me because I felt like the story didn't really pertain to her relevance largely at all. I feel like it would have felt force if she was in this movie. But I felt like the way that they were able to expand upon the lore and find interesting ways to keep it engaging was really impressive. I think Gamble Do Torto's direction and even some of like the Redcon stuff with with Whisper dying and the last one worked for me. Normally that would bother me, but because he was such a cool character, I think that it was nice to have him back in this time around. The only thing I would have probably changed is they kind of made it seem like, oh, maybe he's not so good or like maybe the thing didn't take because the, uh, Daryl from Walking Dead or, um, what's

his name. Norman Reedis's character kept alluding to like, are you sure the thing took man? And then they showed him not on the roof. And then, but we didn't see her where he was to make him make us try to think like, oh, maybe he's not entirely like, uh, kosher like we thought he could be after that initial scene. But no, it didn't really go anywhere. Um, but I think the fact that this movie is continuously action-packed yet, um, still interesting is awesome. I'm normally someone who likes a lot of kids.

character depth and likes character arcs. I don't really feel like Blade really changes over the course of the movie. I think he's pretty consistent, but I think all the stuff around him being so fun and the action being so cool, and the vibes and the music

makes that a non-factor because this is just a good time. And I didn't really feel the runtime. I felt like maybe some of the fights for a little long, but I feel like it was so beautiful to look at it. It didn't really bother me at all. and I just want more blade he's sick that the weapons are sick

the way that they were able to derive these new ways to kill vampires based off of light and like the new tech and the new weapons he had in this one and the fact that we called back to the guy from the beginning and it just made it full circle like all of it was just such a fun time for me and I definitely get why this is Wesleystime's favorite blade

I think between the two that's probably my favorite of the two and yeah I'm just excited didn't see the third one really i think it was a really dope time yeah i'm with you on that um i feel uh shit what was i gonna say s h i t oh the the um the bait and switch with darrell from the walking dead where he like he's like over in the corner laughing he's like you didn't think you'd get that pass on me i was like oh my god what a traitor like i didn't see i really did not see that coming And normally you can kind of see a red herring situation

Prior to it happening Especially in our job Didn't see that coming Also Also I want to say I thought I thought the lines about the blushing And the eight all thing

I thought they're trying to apply He was racist They didn't really go any further than that Maybe he was just a douche bag I don't know So I want to just nip that in the butt I don't think he was racist I just think he was a bad

He's just a bald guy with a weird haircut Old guy weird haircut Yeah buddy You got some facts over there Some of them are not Okay, here I'll read this one Wesley Snipes is not always available for each day

of filming for this movie which came out in 2002 During that year Wesley starred in three other films Aside from Blade 2 instead of waiting for Wesley to become available to crew shot another actor who is not Wesley Stunt doubled for scenes where it was not necessary to see Wesley's face

Interesting. The first scene Bingware Blade and Scud and Nisa are riding in the helicopter to meet Damaschinos. The second was after Nisa performed an autopsy on the Dead Reaper and confronts Bladen in his quarters about his attitude toward blood pack.

Wow, okay. Yeah. I mean, if you're just using, you know, a B-Team, meaning B-team's face has never shown, that makes sense to me. And I'll read one more. The idea of the reapers having stingers coming out of their mouth were inspired by Polish folk tales

where the vampires had a stinger or a finger coming out of the mouth that they used to suck blood rather than use teeth, like the Balkan genus, and that is the greatest influence on the modern vampire mythology. Wow. Oh, my God, but wait, this is one's drama. Sorry.

Ooh, hit me. Gimer de Toro doesn't have many good things to say about screenwriter David S. Coyer and points out some grown-inducing dialogue in the DVD commentary, though he admits that such bluntly expository lines as now you've gotten

explosive device stuck to the back of your head are beautiful in a way. Del Toro also points out several CGI's shots that he hates, mostly notably the final sequence of Blade's duel with Nisa against the godlights. Though he admits that such bluntly expository lines. Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay, I thought it was going to give me more juice between Guillermo and David, but I guess they, if you have the DVD, you can look behind the scenes. infer his feelings that I guess they don't like each other.

Oh, wow. Yeah, weird, huh? I had no idea about that. Well, that's pretty cool. Yeah, do you have any final thoughts for we get out of here? I don't think so. I really, really enjoyed this movie. I think it is really dumb that Rotten Tomatoes has it that low
