Martial Arts star (or should I say "legend"?) Donnie Yen appears ... no reaction whatsoever?!?! Although I admit that he was criminally underused in this movie!
Blade, Hell Boy, IP Man, Marcus Corvinus & Darryl Dixon all in one film
People forget that Wesley Snipes is actually an accomplished martial artist in real life. He did all of his own fight scenes outside of the CG stuff. 20:43 also how y'all not recognize Donnie Yen?
The hematologist found a cure for vampires that "were turned" in the first movie. Whistler was cured
Fun fact director Guillermo del Toro used this variant of vampire in his FX series The Strain.
I love, on a rewatch, the scene where Blade is talking to Whistler about keeping your enemies close. You are supposed to think it is Whistler he is talking about, but in the shot, Scud is in the middle, out of focus. It's subtle foreshadowing, and Guillermo del Toro is a master at it.
He called him Adolph because he asked him can you blush.. which is a racist joke because of blades skin tone cmon guys

Guillermo admitted that one reason he took this gig was to test out the visual style and colour palette he was developing for the HELLBOY movie. You see the blues, reds and ambers and deep shadows. It's as if Mike Mignola drew every frame of this movie.
Wesley Snipes is also a big wrestling fan, it's why he used the Suplex in this one, and why Triple H appears in Trinity
