Born as the survivor of a bitten-pregnancy, a part-vampire “day walker” continues his crusade amidst one of their ranks’ power play for leadership.

A classic movie, before the whole superhero genre got entirely out of hand. It’s an unfortunate rewriting of the original comic book, but it does well with what it has. It’s blunt and stiff, yet entertaining.

It has only a couple of moments of technology which feel old, otherwise it has held up well.

• 9:30 — That’s a lot of daylight.

• 12:00 —

  • Red blood cell
  • By “biconvex” maybe they mean biconcave?
  • Binucleated cells
• 26:00 — Hematology
• 31:00 — While not a Doom sound, that’s standard stock audio.
• 33:30 — Maybe don’t walk around with two bloody spots on your neck.
• 33:45 — Yes, he should have told her about the glyphs.
• 37:30 — She should remember the tattoos on the other two.
• 39:45 — I’m really bothered by his funny over-acting voice.
• 46:45 — Why would he disrespect a vampire by calling her a bitch?
• 54:00 — They established they have hollow point bullets with silver, but those weren’t used with that gun? I would have assumed mostly vampires would be sent after Blade, given that they’d need their best to capture him.
• 1:07:45 — Cancer
• 1:09:30 — So they have retractable claws?
• 1:13:00 — Hemolytic anemia
• 1:14:00 — Her gun has no knockback.
• 1:18:15 — That’s a really heavy gun to give a dying man.
• 1:21:45 — Why would she know about pure bloods?
• 1:22:30 — Why would vampires want a world of vampires and not simply ruled by them? He said that earlier.
• 1:23:45 — That’s a lot of bullets.
• 1:27:15 — How does Frost know about his birth? Wouldn’t they try to make daywalkers?
• 1:32:00 — “Dead by dawn” only reminds me of The Evil Dead – (1981 movie)
• 1:41:30 — That woman killing one of their number has always confused me; don’t they need all of them?
• 1:46:30 — After all this time, now I see it was the bone she crawled out of the pit with. However, I don’t understand why it could kill a vampire.
• 1:49:30 — Casual misandry.

• 1:54:15 — Moscow – Russia

• 0:45 — 1967

• 1:15 — I think that negro’s license has expired:

• 2:15 — Traci Lords. Yes, she did.
• 11:30 — Hematology
• 14:30 — Isn’t that ambulance leaving the hospital?

  • (insert comment about cops shooting black men)
• 15:45 — He’s still fucking holding someone.
• 16:00 — He’s st– oh whatever. Maybe they’re using negro-seeking bull– oh wait.
• 17:45 — Bad Moon Rising – (1969 song), by Creedence Clearwater Revival
• 22:00 — How does anyone get born a vampire?

• 22:45 — I’d kill him for that threat.

  • .. though he did make some good points.
• 29:15 — Well now, that doesn’t answer her question does it? So.. just where is she supposed to go?
• 29:30 — Others?
• 37:30 — So she should immediately point out the other two she saw a moment earlier.
• 37:45 — March of Dimes
• 51:15 — This is obviously vampirephobia and he’s a bigot against the religion of vampires.
• 55:00 — That subway train moment was also found in Underworld – (2003 movie) (@ 8:20).
• 57:00 — How fucking long are these subway trains?

  • EDTA = Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid

• 1:13:00 —

  • Retrovirus
  • Sickle-cell anemia = Sickle-cell disease
• 1:39:15 — After watching this numerous times, this is the first time I’ve heard this as “Then why are you sweating, pureblood?” as opposed to “Then why are you sweating pure-blood?”. Her accent and delivery really sucked for English’s nuance.
• 1:40:45 — Hyperthermia
• 1:42:15 — She tore his shirt open, giving a ripping sound but probably only popping buttons. When he is next seen, his shirt is intact. I guess maybe his bottom buttons got popped off.
