1 | * ActorInspiredElement: The scene where Reinhardt asks Blade if he can blush was inspired by a real comment made to Creator/WesleySnipes by a real neo-Nazi. |
2 | * BTeamSequel: Stephen Norrington declined to return as director, as he wanted to move on to other things...but really, how much of a B-Team is it when the replacement director is ''Guillermo del freaking Toro?'' That said, del Toro's only English-language film credit before this movie had been the little-seen ''Mimic''. |
3 | * CreatorBacklash: |
4 | ** Del Toro doesn't have many good things to say about screenwriter David S. Goyer and points out some groan-inducing dialogue in the DVDCommentary, though he admits that such bluntly expository lines as "Now you've got an explosive device stuck to the back of your head!" are beautiful in a way. |
5 | ** Del Toro also points out several CGI shots that he hates, most notably the final sequence of Blade's duel with Nyssa against the God Lights. |
6 | * CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Creator/WesleySnipes has admitted this is his personal favorite movie in the trilogy. |
7 | * TheDanza: Creator/KarelRoden as [[AmoralAttorney Karel Kounen]]. |
8 | * DeletedScene: |
9 | ** An extended opening scene establishing Prague. |
10 | ** A flashback sequence showing Blade's first encounter with Whistler, part of which can be seen in the film's title credits. |
11 | ** An extended version of the ninja fight in the warehouse, with Blade using some fencing tactics to keep Assad at bay. |
12 | ** A scene of Whistler shying away from the growing daylight outside. |
13 | ** An alternate take of Blade's first meeting with Damaskinos, with Damaskinos wearing, according to Creator/GuillermoDelToro, a "Music/MichaelBolton wig". |
14 | ** A scene in which Damaskinos explains the effects vampirism has had on him. |
15 | ** A much longer version of the House of Pain sequence, including a scene with Nyssa finding a room upstairs with a man unpacking human entrails from a box, a scene that was meant for Music/MichaelJackson. |
16 | ** A line by Whistler about "the power of the pussy". |
17 | ** A Bloodpack "meeting" of sorts, with Chupa attempting to urge the others to kill Blade and go after the Reapers on their own. |
18 | ** A scene in a bathroom after the House of Pain sequence of Lighthammer discovering how far his infection with the Reaper strain has gone. |
19 | ** An extended scene of Damaskinos's dinner and blood bath, in which he tells of the fate of his human heart. |
20 | ** An extended scene of Karel's torture of Blade. |
21 | ** A "dirty" version of the final scene, in which semen is streaked on the windows that was digitally removed in the final cut of the film because test audiences complained. |
22 | * DescendedCreator: Creator/DonnieYen (Snowman) was also one of several fight choreographers. |
23 | * DyeingForYourArt: Luke Goss had ten weeks of boxing, UsefulNotes/{{Karate}}, and combat training in preparation for the action sequences and to give him a lean, muscular build. |
24 | * FakeIrish: The Scottish Creator/TonyCurran as Priest. |
25 | * JewsPlayingNazis: Reinhardt was originally written as a Neo-Nazi vampire (though this wasn't made explicit in the final script). His actor Creator/RonPerlman is of Jewish ancestry. |
26 | * PlayingAgainstType: |
27 | ** Seeing Creator/DannyJohnJules play a serious, cornrow-sporting, badass vampire assassin likely came as a surprise to viewers who mainly knew him as the goofy, fun-loving Cat on ''Series/RedDwarf''. |
28 | ** Santiago Segura is primarily known in Spain for his comedic performances, but here he plays a villainous vampire thug. |
29 | * ScrewedByTheLawyers: The early scene in which Scud is watching ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' was originally written with him watching an episode of ''Anime/SpeedRacer''. However, the owners of the domestic rights wouldn't allow it. |
30 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
31 | ** The film was originally set in Moscow, thus picking up directly from the coda of the first film. |
32 | ** Music/MichaelJackson was originally going to have a cameo in the "House of Pain" sequence as a "Vampire Pimp" that Nyssa encounters as she searches the upstairs hall. Jackson had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts and the part was played by a Czech actor. The sequence was ultimately cut out entirely for pacing reasons. |
33 | ** The Bloodpack character Verlaine was originally scripted to be the twin sister of Racquel, the vampire in the first film that was played by Traci Lords, likely as a way to double-dip on the StuntCasting. |
34 | ** Reinhardt was originally scripted to be a literal Nazi who speaks entirely in German. |
35 | ** David S. Goyer's original idea was to use {{ComicBook/Morbius}} as a primary villain, but Marvel decided they wanted to retain the rights to make an entirely separate franchise out of Morbius - i.e. a Morbius film, so the story was changed slightly and Jared Nomak was created to be used as the primary villain instead. |
36 | ** The original script contained a sex scene between Blade and Nyssa. |
37 | ** Professional wrestler [[Wrestling/DavidHeath Gangrel]], whose vampiric gimmick was inspired by the first ''Blade'' film, was considered for a minor role. |
38 | ** Creator/ElenaAnaya, Creator/AsiaArgento, Creator/KristannaLoken, and Creator/RhonaMitra were all considered for the role of Nyssa. |
39 | ** The beginning fight scene was originally going to be a car chase but was scaled down to a street fight. The original idea was reused in ''Film/BladeTrinity''. |
