Pan’s Labrynth is Great
Yeah that's Donnie Yen folks. He did the awesome choreography for this movie
Shit I remembered Ron Perlman was in this but I totally forgot Donnie Yen, your reactions were perfect!
Are you guys going to react to IP Man 4.?
Pan’s labyrinth is his peak
Blade 2 is PEAK early 2000's cinema and no one can change my mind
Facts…..
Criminally underappreciated. It's a Marvel superhero movie made by Guillermo Del Toro with Ip Man and Hellboy in it and it's every bit as cool as that sounds like it should be. It's like a gift to fandom that far too much of fandom doesn't know about.
I was in film school when this came out and believe me, the movies that came out in the early 2000’s that changed everything were, The Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious. Movie theaters were begging people to not try the stunts at home. I still see people today trying to drift and crashing.
True so influential
straight facts haha
Little known fact is that donny yen is the fight choreographer for the movie
he's also in the movie...
This is an amazing fact.
He was one of the choreographers.
....but his fight scenes were heavily cut out. Years ago, I listened to the Wesley commentary and he half-jokingly apologized that Donnie’s fight scenes were edited out.
Actually Wesley's friend and Martial Artist Jeff Ward was the fight choreographer for this film and the 1st one
I will forever stand by the notion that Luke Goss is grossly underrated as an action-based, dramatic actor. His chops as Nomak were great but his role as the elf prince in Hellboy II is nothing short of classic. He needs to be brought into the MCU or DC or John Wick universes. Something. He deserves more than his B movie status.
I second this motion🤚
Agreed. Luke Goss is super underrated. Nomak and Prince Nuada were awesome villains.
@@shakira.rahman8786 I third this emotion
Totally agree with you. When I saw him in Hellboy II I was like "who is this guy???" for the ones versed on real D&D, I always thought that him would have been the perfect Drizzt Do'Urden, in a real D&D movie or show.
he seems to work best under some makeup or prosthetic...
although the movie wasn't all that, he made a cool and accurate creature from an adaptation of _frankenstien,_ as well
Wesley Snipes Blade movies is easily the most badass superhero franchise and it's not even close.
The first two!
The first two, yes. But that third one sucks so bad.
@@xdviper4518 we dont speak of it, but i agree
Only the first two
Chupa was the guy in the first Fast and Furious who fought Paul walker’s character for liking Dom’s sister.
He was also the vampire in the first Blade that has the sword's "security system" blend his forearm off. "I got his pig sticker!" That guy. I don't think that's supposed to Chupa. He just happened to be in both of them..
You know what they say. You gotta watch yo, watch yo back
In The First Transporter aswell
The "nipple head" insult directed at Ron Pearlman's character was in reference to a) the fact that he is bald coupled with b) the fact that he had the explosive device attached to his previously mentioned bald head. His head looks like a fun bag with a large areola...
What I came to say. They missed it.
that's crazy i always thought he called him a "nibble head" yk bc vampires bite😅
Blade 2 is one of the best comic book movies ever. The action is top tier.
This is a badass Sequel from visionary filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro. Originally, Morbius was going to be the main villain in the film, but it was changed to the Reapers instead. The fight scenes are CGI which is impressive, as people complain that the fight scenes look like a video game.
Oh they are calling Reapers? Idk that after all these years i never looked it up lol.
I wonder who they would've got to play Morbius? Maybe Jared Leto
Morbius would’ve been dope back then…..
Del toro did an amazing job
There's also a deleted ending where Blade sees Morbius on a far away rooftop, teasing him for the third film. It's on UA-cam I'm pretty sure.
"You obviously... do not know... who you are FUCKING WITH!!"
I would love to be able to say that to someone or a group of people with that level of conviction.
You guys crack me up. I love how Nomak told Whistler "Damaskinos" and you two heard "mosquitos", and then go on a thought train about how mosquitos spread vampirism. Ya'll are hilarious! 🤣🤣
I just hit that part and I'm legit dying hahahahahahah
I'm like, "Let it go" lol
I may never fully recover from Roxy's "they all look like Eliza Dushku" comment... Seriously, it's gonna be like five years from now & I'm gonna randomly think about that comment & I'm gonna start laughing again. Absolute perfection in six words.
But was I wrong!?
@@roxystriar not at all very spot on and worth mentioning. Love your observations in the your videos by the way
Same! 😂 I just kept thinking 5 By 5 the rest of the reaction.
I love the look on your face when Norman reveals his betrayal 😂
I was crushed haha. Had really been enjoying the vibes with his character 😫😂
@@ReelRejects I can tell 😂
@@ReelRejects yes John, 2 Steaks 2 Bladious!
@@ReelRejects Sorry Roxi, CANNIBUS?!! 😂😂😂😂
@@ReelRejects11:05 Nah the magic of Guillermo Del Toro! Also, LOVE RON PERLMAN!
I find it kind of amusing how Blade II features Ron Perlman, Luke Goss and Karel Roden. Ron would become Guillermo's Hellboy and Karel would play his first antagonist Rasputin. Then, Luke would appear in Hellboy II as the antagonist Nuada.
Yes.
Ron also stars in Cronos, which GDT directed back in 1993
Guillermo Del Toro kicked ass with this movie. I love it so much.
I like this movie more than the first one, since the enemies are more intimidating and terrifying
Everything leveled up. Costumes, sets, camera, creatures, *ACTION* I remember when the *trailer* came out being able to tell that just from that minute and half of footage that it was a better movie than the first one.
Same
That first movie is pure classic though, the impact was crazy
This is the movie that got me hooked on Guillermo del Toro films, his vision was perfect for this movie 🎬
Same, this was the first of his films I saw as well. I knew I had to see more. I love his creativity.
Me too. This was the first I had ever heard of him.
John's Blade redemption arc in these reaction videos is the real winner here.
Timestamp?
The 1st movie had more bloody gore, the 2nd had a lot more action and the 3rd one added a bit more humor. All good in thier own right, but the 2nd still had the best story.
Fun Fact: in one of the early drafts, there was actually supposed to be a full on romance between Blade and Nyssa. Elements of that storyline definitely stayed in the final draft, but they left most on the cutting room floor.
A lot was cut out.
Even Donnie Yen's character had a longer fight scene that was cut.
Is it bad I like they cut it I mean obviously it’s there they like each other but idk I always liked they never clouded the main points of the movie with a love story in it
The animation is wonkey but good enough for its time, the transition from cg to real is flawless and ahead of its time by a decade.
One of the rare sequels that’s just as good as the first one.🧛🏻🌕
Possibly better depending on my mood🤣
Definitely better
This is a great sequel. And number 3 is worth it as well.
An odd trilogy with different tones, but somehow it all hits well.
Gotta love it.
Trinity is worth it for Dominic Purcell devouring the scenery and clearly having the time of his life being a giant ham of a character.
the only thing wrong with the third one is learning afterward that snipes hated his costars and the feeling was mutual.
3 is my fav bc of the characters
3 sucks,1 and 2 were great back 2 back action, 3 was just a pile of shit
Definitely my favorite non Disney Marvel movie. I hope the new Blade will take heavy notes from this film.
And be R rated, like the Sonyverse should be with Venom, Carnage, etc....
this is why snipes is the only true blade. He acts, speaks and moves like blade. one of marvel's perfect castings.
“That was like lil shop of horrors, feed me Seymour, shit” is the best line I’ve heard all year and in a long time! That was truly hilarious Roxy!
Glad ya liked it!
You two should react to the "Underworld" series next.
It would be awseome.
If I remember correctly the actor for Priest was the main villain I the 2nd Underworld film.
@@anthonydean1743 yeah, it's Tony Curran. He was the hybrid aside from Michael in the Underworld 2 movie. He also played Vicent van Gogh in Doctor Who.
@@anonymousgirl4605 I think my two favorite movies I always remember him from are The 13th Warrior with Antonio Banderas, and as the invisible man The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Guillermo del Toro should direct the MCU Blade too!
It already has a director.
He won’t
@@Lifeof728 😢
Even better Guillermo Del Toro should direct MCU Blade Trilogy 🍿💯
Blade is hands down my favorite marvel character and it’s sad that he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, but it’s dope in the comics morbius I believe actually makes him a day walker and gives him the ability’s he’s known for which is crazy
Blade gets bashed and thrown into all sorts of unyielding surfaces, but his shades always stay on. Blade Shades! Your reactions are great and so funny. John’s range of horrified expressions stands on its own. Roxy’s comments are pure gold. I know it was done to keep from being blocked for excessive gore, but I am grateful that the worst grossnesses were blurred out. I love the “no Reapers were harmed in the production of this movie.” Pure Del Toro humor there, very funny.
Wesley Snipes, the quintessential Blade. He does it all, very believable, can’t look away. And as a bonus, we get the rest of the great cast.
Fun fact: Blade 2 is the first movie I ever saw in the theater alone. The second was the Dark Knight.
I haven't been to the theater alone since.
One of my favourite action/super hero movie ever, to this day. Wesley Snipes was perfect in this role, the cast was sooooo underrated, and although the story is a bit "lazy", love the execution and the terror of those mutants monsters chasing vampires. The effects aged a little, but It still surprisingly holds up given its age. I'm glad you guys added this piece to your cinema culture :D
Roxy saying everyone looks like Eliza Dushku then mentioning the Buffy villain brought a smile to my face. Either she's a Buffy fan or just an Eliza fan. Either way I love Roxy!
I’m both
God i still love the sound FX for Blade's gun, so crisp.
You guy's should watch Guillermo Del Toro's The Strain if you haven't its a pretty good vampire show
Hell yeah!!! I found the 1st season so engaging, with its desperation and panic with the spread of the “virus” but idk why but it lost me in the somewhere in the final seasons of it…can’t put my finger on it..The 1st season or 2 was a great set up and really made me like Corey Stoll a lot more than his ant man character.
Guillermo Del Toro directed Hellboy after this and the main villain Rasputin is played by Karl Roden the guy who played the lawyer in Blade 2
Fun fact: The main villain is Luke Goss. He used to be in an 80s pop duo called Bros, with his twin brother Matt.
Yep and he's also been in another Deltoro film which was Hellboy two.
This movie introduced me to Donnie Yen and I have loved his work since then.
I still got that movie poster, thinking of framing it
I just can’t imagine Disney giving us this type of action and Gore in these movies
Deleted scenes of Blade and Nyssa , it's touchy feely. I think it was originally written for them to be more of a couple. That's why their chemistry in the film is in the gray in between getting close but no lips touching except on the risk which was sexy.
Priest is played by Tony Curran. Underworld evolution, Thor the dark world, doctor who, Van Gogh
I really liked him on The 13th Warrior and The League of extraordinary gentleman.
Appropriate 80 minute reaction. This movie deserves it.
God Tier Action!!..Whistler Comedy Genius😂
The look on Roxy's face when Donnie skewered that one of them then, after he ripped his lower half off to get away, turned to John to ask how he was doing XD
Roxy being thirsty over Donnie had me weak
Thirst away girl I get it. 🤣
Truly
The rave scene is hands down one of my favorite movie scenes ever!!!! The sound, the production and the cinematography are all just so top tier
The main bad guy vampire is the same lead elf and hellboy too
LETS GOOOO!!!!! Yes the greatest sequel I ever seen!!! Thank y’all for watching!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤
By the way , all the real fans know Blade , X- Men ( fox studios) , and Spider-Man ( Sony) saved the marvel franchise and brought us what is marvel studios today following the start of iron man !
I remember seeing ang lees Hulk as a kid and not realizing it sucked, cuz, i was a kid, and it was the friggin Hulk and so cool
So imo that also was a part of that era, good or bad
@@emosam07 I seen it as an adult so I had a deep appreciation for that movie. It was unique and very comic-like. I loved it.
@Freddie MAC i still enjoy that movie, the CGI just wasnt the best and it was very Moody but man were those Hulk Dogs cool and the action and stuff was a lot of fun with the quick cuts and panels and stuff.
The actor playing Priest is Tony Curran a fantastic character actor who was in 3 eps of SoA which is where you might know him from but he was also outstanding as one of the main characters of the surprisingly good (especially since it was tied to a live MMO at the time and the game could influence the show) Defiance on Syfy
Tony also played the elder vamp in the second Underworld and a tear jerking ep of Doctor Who as Van Gogh. I first saw him in 13th Warrior.
@@AndyPickle-fd5qrI'm here for the 13th warrior and defiance references
The "nipple head" diss from Whistler is because Perlman's character had a bald head with the small bomb device blade put there so it looked like a nipple so his head was basically a talking boob with shades.
This is why I really don't want them to remake Blade for the new MCU. If they can't rise to the level of Blade 1 and 2, then why even bother? And I think I remember hearing Wesley got a pretty bad knee injury doing one of the fight scenes and they had to shut the production down for a while. Anyway, great review and can't wait to see whether or not you guys like all the changes that occur in Blade 3. --- All these years and I never realized this...Blade 1 ends in Russia and when he rescues Whistler, he says he began looking for him him in Moscow.-- -
I think I've said this before but I really like this reaction duo.
Thank you ❤
Blade 2 is definitely my fave of the series, but coming back to this now, I can see a lot of elements that Del Toro carried over to his vampire series The Strain (another great show). The vampire design is nothing short of awesome and terrifying. This does mostly stand up even today.
"Blech" is a vibe? Nice
The actor playing Nomak also fought Ron Perlman in Hellboy II The Golden Army, he played Prince Nuada
That guy who played Priest was also a vampire in Underworld Evolution, he played Marcus but has a shit ton of prosthetics so he was harder for me to recognize.
This is my favorite Wesley snibe movie Blade 2 is my favorite🧛🏿♂️🍷
"And you're sitting next to me?" is a perfect reaction haha
Yeah Mike Migniola (sp?) was the author behind the Hellboy comics. He teamed up/gave del Torro the blessing to do the two original Hellbpy movies.
Yay! Loved this one as much as the first. ❤😊
Edit: John's face when he sees the full extent of how nasty the reapers are, is pure GOLD. Exactly how I felt as a teen when I first watched this 😂
Props and design were ON POINT for this instalment! 😅
@ 19:02 for the time-stamp squad
Roxy is talking about the Hush episode of Buffy. The minion vamps look like the minions in that Buffy episode.
Amazing episode
I'm really loving all of these older movies, and the reactions are AWESOME!!!
Can't wait to see their reaction to the third lol
Lol thats a straight up comedy. Whether it was intentional or not
I forgot baby Daryl Dixon is in this!
Didn't say mosquito, he said Damaskinos.
While they're going on about this entire hair brained plot scheme about mosquitoes......🤣🤣
😂
This movie is so perfectly gory - it really warms my heart. 😂
The Reapers are obviously a prototype of the vampires in The Strain, also a Del Toro masterpiece.
Wesley Snipes always did the character Blade Justice. I haven't seen this movie in years glad that you two liked it. I saw all three, and the third one isn't that bad, as people say. It is humor in it with Ryan Renalds and Jessica Beil. I like that one, too.
This movie was the Aliens to Blade 1's Alien. Took it up a huge notch and introduced tons of great characters (none of whom survive).
Great Reaction John and Roxy, Guillermo Del Toro did a great job with this sequel!👍
The Alien / Aliens is a great comparison for the first two Blade films. Love them both, but the second just tops it for me.
Aye first ten minutes. Enjoying watching this trilogy with u both.
Again how many times do I have to watch people react to this film lol
Part 3 more Comedy base Ryan Reynolds being dead pool basically.
You gotta get your homeboy to watch Boondock Saints 💯
Those are some big shoes to fill for the new blade movie. Idk if Disney could do it. Guess we will wait and see
This is my favorite of the trilogy. Honestly one of my favorite vampire movies really. This was one of the first roles I ever saw Norman Reedus in (instant fan). I wish I still had the soundtrack- it was just one hit after another. I seriously wore that CD out 😊
This one I think is even better than the first,Wesley Snipes is great but to have Ron Perlman and Donnie Yen the villain is played by Luke Goss he used to be in a British boy band with his twin bother called Bros from the 80s.
Fun fact Roxy...the drug scene with the blood not that crazy. Blood meal has been used for plant fertilizer using dried animal blood. And recently universities have been studying drying human blood to store it for longer.
the reason why blade sided with the vampires was because it was going to be easier for him and other vampire hunters to kill regular vampires around the world than nomak's kind who they could only kill with sunlight rather than silver sunlight and stabbing them in the heart like it would be with regular vampires
They thought he said mosquitos when he said damaskinos 😂
Whelp Trinity is up next let’s go 😂
Oh yeah the sequel! Here we go!
OMG!!! Was that not one of the OG VAMPIRES FROM SALEM’S LOT?!?!?!
So when I saw The Strain on FX this same style of Vampire was used. That show was so good but the effects were beyond gross.😩🤢
Nomak was played by Luke Goss, a martial artist. He was in 2 Death Race movies, the second Hellboy and a lot of low budget movies. He is cool.
One of the best comic book movies ever.
The first time I seen the vampire who's whole face basically open up was like "oooh hell to tha nah!"
I always assumed "nipplehead" was a remark making fun of the round bomb stuck to the back of his head.
Vampires in this world don't want to take over....they've already taken over. In fact it was stated in the first movie that they have lived this way for thousands of years, just under the radar, into every aspect of human existence, and in some way having a symbiotic balance to it all.
The reapers were an original concept by Del Toro cause he was already coming up with ideas for The Strain but it wasn't getting picked up so he used his ideas in this first
It’s not a Roxie and John commentary without Roxie’s to go tea 😂 you should get a special mug made 🍵
9:14 "Cirque du SO BLADE" is hands down the best pun I've heard this year! Bahaha
If you like these kind of funky vampires, I recommend watching The Strain.
"Feed me Seymour s**t!" - Roxy 😂😂
I remember seeing this when it first came out in theaters!!!
I normally don't sit through these first time viewings, but you two have absolutely hilarious responses.
The reason blade joined them was the fact the new vampires needed to feed every hour, they would have ravaged the population much more than regular vamps, whilst the normal vampires got blood from various sources, cattle, donors etc, the new vampires just ate everything they could.
I definitely agree with John that Blade follows in the tradition of Aliens (and Terminator 2, come to think of it) when it comes to upping the stakes for action, scope, and effects. Del Toro really has an eye for creepy popcorn flicks.
