This is NOT a porn movie. This is the vampire movie starring Wesley Snipes, which we already have an article about. A redirect would be inappropriate. RickK 21:10, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep. It was created hours before being listed here and is clearly going to be expanded. Jamesday 13:33, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • What is with all the pron articles lately? And is user: 141 a reincarnation of user:Anticapitalist3?. Delete. Exploding Boy 13:47, Feb 16, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - There are plenty of porn movie review sites - Texture 14:07, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is not a pornopedia. Davidcannon 14:15, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. This would appear to be utterly spurious, as according to the appropriate article, Traci Lords stopped "acting" in porn in 1985. --No-One Jones 14:41, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Insignificant. Sufficient to be listed in a List of porn films or like. Mikkalai 18:30, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Oh. Oh. Yeah. OH! YEAH! Yes! OH! Omigod! YEAH! DELETE! DELETE! DELETE! Ohhhhh, yeah. Wow. You were great. Delete. orthogonal 18:58, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, possibly with every other article this guy has created. This one, at least, is complete nonsense. Traci Lords is in the (non-porn) movie Blade (the Wesley Snipes one). Adam Bishop 20:10, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • In this case, I agree. This is not a porn movie. It's been redirected, but I've listed it on the redirects for deletion as it's incorrect to call it a porn movie. RickK 21:51, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep. This is a real movie. and it is R-rated. For all you people who thought this was porn, please do a little research before voting to delete something. imdb reference. Kingturtle 00:18, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Blade (movie)

I moved this article to Blade (movie) because it is the logical name for the article. To support this logic, the Vampire and Kris Kristofferson articles used this syntax for the movie. Kingturtle 00:16, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

That said, about half of the article is about the comic book, not the movie. -Fuzzy 04:50, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

My comment on this got lost in the edit conflicts. The redirect should be deleted because it's wrong. Blade is not a porn movie. I've listed it on Redirects for Deletion. RickK 00:20, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Sunglasses

I made a minor correction to the "traits" section - while Blade does wear sunglasses in the movies, even in the dark, there is little evidence to suggest that this is a requirement for him. Also added his knowledge of Russian (evidenced at the end of Blade 1)

He most likely keeps his glasses on to hide something or just to show some type of toughness. I doubt his eyes are sensitive to bright light as he did take them off in Frost's brightly lit room when talking to his mother. --DBGFrost 05:05, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vampire language

I'm interested in the vampire language created for the film.--Jondel 00:18, 13 December 2005 (UTC) There are a total of about 6-8 lines of vampire dialogue in "Blade", subtitled in English. (The director though there were more, but the other subtitled lines turned out to be in Krat pruchiri busistampol proto lukchano, Frost. "You are a disgrace to the vampire nation, Frost"

Sika lupala tat kapro Blade? "Don't we have enough trouble with Blade?"

This one is from Pearl though it's kind of hard to makeout due to the noise of the UV light and him burning, but I'll give it a shot: Tranus prototano disgues sanaproto vanu fortasha raka haruka pinoso "La Magra is coming. The Spirits of the Twelve will awaken the Blood God" --DBGFrost 04:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Synopsis?

This article doesn't actually mention anything about the synopsis of the movie, apart from the fact that Blade kills vampires. Lady BlahDeBlah 01:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I've tried to write something of a fuller plotline. It may have some wrong points, but I'd rather people edited it than deleted it outright. Hope it suffices Iwan Berry 16:24, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blade Soundtrack

I've provided my source for the soundtrack that is heard within the film. If you want to post the soundtrack that was marked official, place it in a different header (source recommended) and refrain from deleting the original. This artical is to give out full information on the film, not to show which is official and which isn't. --The Scourge 23:59, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
