Per wiki policy, Spoilers Off applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

  • The blood rave in the beginning of the film is one of the best remembered scenes of the series. Vampires lure unsuspecting humans to an underground rave, then pipe blood through the fire sprinklers and devour the humans... until Blade steps in and slaughters them. The vampires' reaction to Blade's appearance is a major establishing character moment. That, my friends, is how you make an entrance.
  • Right after Blade escapes his bonds during the climax and Quinn attacks him, Blade pulls out a garrote wire from his vest and in one clean motion, swipes Quinn's head off and snatches his trademark shades from it in the air. Simple, but incredibly cool.
  • It's a bit too long to be the subject of Memetic Mutation, but: "Some motherfucker's always tryin' to ice skate uphill." BAM!
  • The Sequel Hook:
    Blade: [in Moscow, speaking Russian] Catch you at a bad time... comrade?
