Blade II

"The first erotic component is in feeding and sucking and I tried not to deal too much with it because it's always the direction that Vampire films take, so I was interested in taking another direction, to explore another side of vampirism. I wanted to make this film more of a dark fantasy, whether through the colours, the camera movement, the design, and the locations. The first Blade was very stylish and hip and yuppyish but in this one I wanted to show the dark side, the decadent side of their world, almost the despair of the vampire universe. I wanted to have of a wicked sense of humour and a graphic approach like a comic book. I wanted to go crazier and to have a better understanding of Blade's psychology and to understand why he is acting the way he does."

"Thomas Kretschmann - Eli Damaskinos"

"Luke Goss - Jared Nomak"

"Matt Schulze - Chupa"

"Karel Roden - Karel Kounen"

"Well, first we wanted to enhance Blade's romantic life, and get him laid! Also we wanted to make it a different environment. Initially it was going to be Vegas but Prague came up, for various reasons, and that's where we went. Also we wanted to make Blade feel more at ease with what he is."

"In Cronos the Vampire was more about the meditation about time and immortality and here in Blade 2 it's the vampire at a basic level, vampires that are just animals that are greedy for blood, I created a new kind of vampires: the reapers that are designed genetically to be even stronger than the normal vampires. But we tried also to find some moments of empathy with these creatures, and there are moments when the reapers look pathetic, like junkies, and at moments when they have a broken arm or a dislocated head you almost feel sorry for them. So we tried to find beauty in these monsters and that's really horrific because it's almost real."

"Forget what you think you know. Vampires exist. My name is Blade. I was born half human, half vampire. They call me, The Daywalker. I have all their strengths, none of their weaknesses, execpt for the thirst. 20 years ago, I met a man that changed that. Whistler. He taught me how to hold the thirst at bay. Taught me the rules. Gave me the weapons to hunt with: Silver, garlic, sunlight. Two years ago, he was attacked. They took him, and turned him into the thing I hate most. I should have finished him off. Now, I'm hunting him. I will find him. And nothing will stand in my way."

"[To Rush] Take me to him, and I'll consider you a loose end."

"There's an old saying: Keep your friends close, your enemies keep closer."

"You obviously do not know who you are FUCKING WITH!"

"[When he sees the vampire nightclub, which is packed with several hundred partying vampires] You've got to be kidding me."

"[After Scud asks about what Blade thought about his betrayal] Two things: One, I've been onto you since they turned you. And two... [About the "dud" explosive Scud is holding] it's not a dud."

"[To Reinhardt] Can you blush?"

"[To Rush] You didn't think I forgot about you, did you?"

"[After being scolded for turning on the ultraviolet light]] Yeah well some of us can't see in the dark ya fuckin' nipple head, what am I supposed to do?"

"They tortured me almost to death, and then let me heal in a vat of blood so they could go at it again. Sorry sons of bitches could have at least fixed my damn leg while they were at it."

"[After Scud punches him] Why, you little shit."

"[after Scud has just been blown up by a bomb] I was just startin' to like him."

"[To Chupa] I love it when you talk dirty, sweetheart."

"Hey, kid! [Throws Blade his sunglasses]"

"(deleted scene) Never underestimate the power of the pussy, boys. One cunt hair off that thing can drag a freight train a mile uphill."

"[In Vampire tongue] Vampires. I hate vampires."

"Blade. Is the enemy of my enemy my friend... or my enemy?"

"You want me, Blade? Here I am. Why kill me? We want the same thing."

"We need the same thing, Blade."

"After all, it looks like I've finished my father's job!"

"[Last words] It's... strange. It hurts... it hurts no more."

"Nyssa! Put your sword away! Your people shot first."

"We represent the ruling body of the vampire nation."

"[Blade explains his plan to wipe out the Reapers] In broad daylight?"

"[while being overrun by Reapers] You want a bite of me? Well, come on! Come on, motherfucker!"

"[while Blade is trying to activate the bomb] By the way, Blade, did I ever mention the bomb lever is stuck?"

"They want us to to spray on some suckpuppy's nut juice?"

"Well, like my daddy said right before he killed my mom, "You want anything done right, you gotta do it yourself.""

"[To Blade] Hey me & the gang where wondering: Can you blush?"

"Thought you had me on a short leash, didn't you jefe?"

"[Discovering a large group of Reapers] Eat shit, YOU UGLY MOTHERFUCKERS!!"

"[Before shooting Priest; in Vampire tongue] A man without fear."

"[To Whistler] We lost a man. Priest. You want me to carve his fucking name into your chest, old man?"

"We lose a partner, and Blade loses one!"

"[Last words] What are you trying to do? Stink me to death, old man?"

"Look at them. Half of these bastards, they're not even purebloods. I tell you what, why don't we fucking kill everyone just to make sure."

"[Last words, while painfully transforming into a Reaper] Kill me now, Chupa!"

"Scud: Lock up your daughters boys and girls, the dark knight returns."

"Damaskinos: Who do you think God really favors in the web? The spider, or the fly?"

"Rush: Fuck! It's not silver, but it still hurts like hell!"

"Vampire: [After realizing he is several floors above the ground] Fuck this shit!"

"Vampire: [to Jared Nomak] This is a good news, bad news scenario, Jared: Good news for us, bad news for you."

"Know The Mark."
