Do we have any sources for the Influences part? Also, addressing those points, it is an ancient concept, particulary when it comes to Magneto and the XMen, for two enemies to ally to take down a third, Blade is hardly the first movie where someone breaks in amongst butt-kicking to rescue somebody.

[edit] Claims of Blade influencing the Matrix

There is no actual proof that the fashion in Blade , influenced the fashion in the Matrix. Who ever made those connotations, obviously is assuming here. Nor is the Bullet Time Sequence in the Matrix, influenced by the Bullet Dodge Sequence in the first Blade Movie. That form of Bullet on the Fly SFX Shot, is more inspired by the Bullet on the Fly seen on John Woo's Full Contact, along with various other HKAMs. The Bullet Time sequence in the Matrix, isn't some full-blown over-exaggerated version of said sequence at all. The Blade version doesn't utilize the same degree or anywhere near it, of technical computer imagery wizadry, as the Matrix does. Someone needs to get their facts straight before they say anything. i know this wikipedia, but come on people. user:celestialphoenixreborn

I got to agree, the Matrix comparison is very unlikely, especially with only a year between them there's no way an effects heavy film like the Matrix would have had the time to take the inspiration. They are also very tenous links as well. I'm taking them out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nightjim (talk • contribs) 17:25, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I haven't been paying attention lately but... Blade is Jesus? WTH? Highlandlord 13:32, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

No, he isn't, but the comparison was apparently made between the two, which I can see. Blade being the one person who could save the human race in the face of the vampire threat. Shadowrun 20:01, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
