Blade II	comment	Blade II is the second film in the Blade Trilogy. It was released in 2002 and directed by Guillermo del Toro.Following on from the first film, Blade (Wesley Snipes) continues to hunt down vampires in Central Europe and is reunited with Whistler after the vampires kept him alive on life support and moved him around to evade Blade's pursuit. The vampire leadership contacts Blade to ask for his help to battle an even greater foe. A new breed of supervampires named the Reapers have spawned from Jared Nomak, the original carrier, and have started devouring and turning vampires en masse. Blade teams up with the special vampire unit, the Bloodpack, to destroy the Reapers before they have finished with the vampires and move on to wiping out mankind.

Blade II / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Blade II / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: Nomak is a "carrier" for the Reaper condition, but carriers by definition are not affected by their carried disease/gene defect, yet Nomak clearly has most of the traits of the other Reapers (he has their general appearance, split jaw, heart shield, physical skills, and drug addict-like appetite for blood; the only difference seems to be that he has retained his intelligence). A more correct term would be a "patient zero" or "index case." Pheromones don't come from the adrenal glands, nor are they "nut juice." We can forgive the latter term, however, as it comes from a foulmouthed non-scientist. There is really no way the needle glove the vampires were going to use on Nomak in the opening scene would be useful for getting blood out of the human body, because you can't reach five important veins at the same time with the needles positioned that way... but it does look really cool.

Blade II / int_19df659c	comment	Gone Horribly Wrong: The Reaper strain was engineered to make vampires stronger, harder to kill and immune to all vampire weaknesses. Instead, while partially successful, it also created a vampire variant with almost all of the worst qualities of vampires amplified. In a bit of irony (or poetic justice) Reapers are even more vulnerable to sunlight, tending to burst like fireworks when presented with even the slightest glimmer.

Despite this, she is a member of the Bloodpack, an elite team of vampire warriors trained to hunt Blade. She actually gives him a pretty good run during their first encounter. It is also made clear that her father does not put a lot of stock in family (and therefore wouldn't have given her the job if she wasn't competent).

However, this is never explained or even lampshaded. Similarly, its never revealed whether the Reapers are in some way genetically related to him, given that they share his skin and ears and the patient zero was his own son.

Blade II / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: During the autopsy of the Reaper, Nyssa notes its masseter muscles are "bifurcated and overdeveloped, allowing for a much stronger bite". This sounds absurd given that Reapers' lower jaw is not functional, but merely a container for an internal proboscis, so they shouldn't have any use for masticatory muscles like the masseter. However, when Nomak eventually reunites with Damaskinos, he does bite him, which such force that he takes a good chunk off. It seems the Reaper's can bite after all, with their masseters being probably meant to hold together the lower jaw pieces and compensate for their extra unstability while biting.

Blade II / int_28c1d543	comment	Defrosting Ice Queen: Nyssa gets an enormous amount of character development for a 2-hour film, gradually opening up to Blade about being a pureblood who didn't even get a choice on whether or not to be a vampire and how she's made peace with that (something that even Blade, a half-vampire, hasn't even come to terms with in himself). Best exemplified by her first and last scenes. When she takes off her mask for the first time, she's glaring daggers at her "most feared enemy". In her last, she's calmly accepting her death with a smile while warmly looking up at him.

Nomak and the entire Reaper sub-species were the result of the vampire leadership trying to genetically erase the typical vampire weaknesses. The Reapers are immune to garlic and silver, have a more efficient sucking tool, and their hearts are surrounded by solid bone ("Try and get a stake through THAT!"), but they're still just as vulnerable to sunlight/UV rays, if not more. What they don't expect is that the Reapers can turn humans and regular vampires into Reapers through mere sharing of sweat, let alone blood and vampire bites.

That's just what we see on the outside, and from what Nomak's final words are, just existing is painful for them.

Throughout the first half of the movie, Scud is wearing a T-shirt with the B.P.R.D. logo from the Hellboy series. The catch is that the film came out two years before the first Hellboy movie came out. Apparently, Guillermo del Toro was thinking ahead. A couple to anime. Lighthammer is a whole one to the character of Nolt Marcus from Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. Snowman, being an aloof, katana-wielding Asian vampire with weird eyes who hunts other vampires as part of an international organization, could be considered a gender-flipped version of Saya from the Blood: The Last Vampire franchise.

But after an Alien Autopsy-esque examination, they identify a handful of weakness to exploit. They're still vulnerable to sunlight, and in fact may be even more vulnerable than other vampires. The "sunlight bomb" detonated in the sewers kills dozens of Reapers in an explosive manner yet only manages to give Reinhardt what look like second-degree burns, assuming he avoided the brunt of the light like Nyssa did by going underwater. Their metabolism is so fast that unless they feed regularly they starve to death within a few days, which makes them easier to track because they can't stay still. Their hearts have a bone shell around them, a natural deterrent against stakes, but they did see an exposed opening if stabbed through the armpit. This was utilized by Blade to land a killing blow on Nomak.

After Blade kills Reinhardt, Whistler goes out of his way to destroy the tank, ensuring that Damaskinos' work can't continue and will die with the villains.

Then Damaskinos strangles her to be quiet, telling her the survival and ascension of their race is more important to him than his own family.

Blade II / int_e9856090	comment	Outrunning the Fireball: Blade and Nyssa outrun the "fireball" created by a big box of "light grenades." Quite aside from the question of how these light grenades caused an explosion in the first place (or indeed, how the "blast front" flows round a curve of a tunnel in spite of the fact that light beams travel in straight lines) one wonders how fast Wesley Snipes must have been running, considering that light travels at the speed of - well - light...

Blade II / int_eaf5a1ac	comment	Groin Attack: Blade kills one vampire by staking it in the crotch in the opening scene. A later example is horrifically self-inflicted. Snowman goes up against a Reaper in single combat, eventually pinning it to the wall with his sword. it then crawls up the wall backwards, splitting itself in half from belly to groin.

However, he's mutated far enough that the silver bullets won't do the trick. Then a guy cuts half his head off, which also fails. Blade finally shoots a hole in the ceiling so sunlight will do the job.

Blade II / int_fc225bec	comment	Artistic License â€“ Physics: When Whistler is explaining his anti-vampire arsenal to the Blood Pack, he notes the shotgun-mounted stake gun and claims it has a muzzle velocity of 6000 feet per second. This is comparable to the kinetic penetrator of an M1 Abrams tank gun. And it can apparently do this with compressed air. Forget pinning a vamp to the wall, this would plow through every squishy body in its path, regardless of how superhuman it is.
