| Blade: Trinity / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: In their first confrontation, Drake grabs a baby to keep Blade from attacking him, then tosses it as a distraction to escape. This while making a speech about how they, unlike everyone else, know about honour and dying by the sword. Possibly justified in that Drake was unarmed while Blade was not; Drake does fight Blade on fair terms later on, which would suggest he was waiting for an even match or simply wanted to talk first. | |

| Blade: Trinity / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Nearly everything about Abigail Whistler, but her situational-awareness-killing personal soundtrack is at the top of the list. The UV Laser comes close second, because slicing through things like butter may sound good, but when a UV lamp hurts them and not you, and a normal sword is sufficient to dust them... why risk lightsabering yourself? They never use it more than once, anyway. | |

Everyone Owns a Mac: EVERYONE uses Mac computers, and even features a scene where Jessica Biel's character uses iTunes to create a music playlist for her iPod that she can listen to while fighting vampires (never mind that having music blaring into your ears would be detrimental to your situational awareness in a battle with undead bloodsuckers). More than one reviewer has commented that the film is basically a two-hour-long commercial for Apple products. | |

Sequel Hook: The audience is led to believe that Blade died fighting Drake/Dracula, but just before the credits roll, Drake is still alive, and the audience sees Blade riding away on his motorcycle, set to fight again another day. This actually depends on which cut you're watching. | |

Godzilla Threshold: The act of seeking out Drake is this for the vampires. Apparently, Blade's success in hunting and killing high-level vampires has shaken their world to the point of desperation. So now the plan has become to use Drake's blood to become daywalkers, wipe out the humans entirely and live off of blood farms. | |

Idiot Ball | |

Idiot Ball: Blade is fooled into killing a human familiar disguised as a vampire, despite having the instincts to distinguish between the two! Remember that in the first movie he could smell a vampire from roughly 40 feet away, and can even differentiate vampire and human by the way they move, so there is no way he should have been fooled (unless the familiar was deliberately drenched in vampire scent, something that is never mentioned in the film). | |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad | |
| Blade: Trinity / int_76a5eaf8 | comment |
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Instead of the film focusing on Blade, a group of hunters get the most attention with Blade showing up every now and again. The film suffered a huge backlash from the fans because of this and Wesley Snipes even sued, claiming they were whitewashing him for his own film franchise. However, given the myriad of rumours that Wesley Snipes allegedly couldn't be bothered to show up on set most of the time, leaving his stunt double having to perform most of the filming in his place; if true, then it's not entirely surprising that Blade ultimately doesn't appear much. | |

Villain Decay: The vampires, with the sole exception of Drake, in this movie are...really fucking lame. They're incompetent and immature, and you never really get the sense that they pose a threat to Blade or any of the Nightstalkers. It's a bad sign when the cops are the second most dangerous entity in a film with Dracula. | |

Guilt-Free Extermination War | |
| Blade: Trinity / int_91c651a1 | comment |
Guilt-Free Extermination War: The vampire antagonists of this movie are planning to take over the world and farm all of humanity for blood now that they have Drake, whilst the Nightstalkers in turn are hoping that they can use the Daystar virus to wipe out all vampires on Earth once the virus is completed with Drake's blood. On one hand, the first movie was pretty clear that vampires are Always Chaotic Evil monsters, regardless of who they used to be when they were human; on the other hand, the first movie also showed that some if not most elite vampires are more reasonable and pragmatic than the trilogy's antagonists, willing to maintain the status quo of living alongside humanity without usurping us. The moral and ethical questions about whether or not the Nightstalkers' plan for total vampire extermination is really justified get more disturbing in light of the sequel TV series' introduction of the House of Leichennote A vampire house which strictly swears off killing and whose members subsist on cloned blood, although this is more a matter of spirituality than morality — however, it should also be noted that even the series makes it clear that the only really "good" vampires whose personalities aren't twisted out of shape after turning are ones who've subsisted mainly on Blade's blood-substitute serum more than actual blood since being turned, and there wasn't any such vampire in existence before Krista Starr was turned during the series. | |

Fan Disservice: The extended scene of Abby taking a shower would be straight up Fanservice, except for the focus on her numerous battle wounds and the amount of blood she washes off. | |

Revised Ending | |
| Blade: Trinity / int_d51158ee | comment |
Revised Ending: There are three alternate endings: Theatrical ending: As Blade fought honorably, Drake gives him a "parting gift" by transforming his dying body into a replica of Blade's. The FBI retrieves the body of who they think is Blade and thus calls off their manhunt. Just as they begin the autopsy, Blade's body reverts into that of Drake's. Hannibal's voiceover tells the viewer that Blade is still alive somewhere, finishing the last struggles of the war; having rejected Drake's hopes of prolonging the vampire race, Blade's war will never end. Unrated ending: The body retrieved by the FBI is Blade's, but he's not really dead. Drake's body is nowhere to be seen, hinting at his survival too. At the morgue, Blade sits up abruptly, attacks the FBI agents, and appears ready to bite a nurse on the neck. The ending is ambiguous as to whether Blade has retained his humanity or given in to his vampire thirst as Drake predicted. This is the ending that is seen on the director's cut of the film, and commentary on the DVD indicates it was the ending director Goyer intended. Werewolf ending: The Daystar virus circles the globe and wipes out all vampires. Blade walks off into the sunset, his long battle finally over. The final shot is of the Nightstalkers battling a new enemy: werewolves. This version of the ending was used in the novelization of the film and is included on the DVD as an extra. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade: Blade cuts into a metal pole with his sword, by accident. Also, when Drake swings his sword at Blade and Blade dodges, he cuts through a metal banister. | |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign | |
| Blade: Trinity / int_e3c20140 | comment |
As Long as It Sounds Foreign: The film features nearly subliminal use of Esperanto to make the setting seem a little off and vaguely foreign. This is most noticeable when Hannibal watches the Esperanto language horror film Incubus in his hospital bed, starring William Shatner pre-Star Trek. | |

The Oner: subverted. The scene where Abigail Whistler takes on a whole crowd of mooks, one after the other, was filmed in a single take. In the finished film, it's intercut with other shots. | |

Four Lines, All Waiting | |
| Blade: Trinity / int_e8dcd1c0 | comment |
Four Lines, All Waiting: Is it about vigilante Blade versus human law enforcement, the upcoming blood-farming vampire apocalypse, the Nightstalkers' attempt to create his own apocalypse via The Virus, or the symbolic war of Blade vs. Dracula? Concentrating on any two of these plotlines would have worked, but not four. Wesley Snipes was reportedly very upset that the core character was lost in the plot shuffle. | |

Epic Flail | |
| Blade: Trinity / int_e913fe74 | comment |
Epic Flail: In the opening scene Blade carries a knife that with the push of a button, can launch its blade a short distance (like a ballistic knife). However, the blade is attached to a wire or chain of some sort, allowing it to function as a bladed flail after being launched. After the battle, Blade tells Whistler "This worked real good" (and then never uses it again, presumably because he is stripped of it by the FBI). | |
