Can you blush meaning blade

Del Toro had originally conceptualized the Strigoi, which are the vampire antagonists in The Strain, many years prior to the creation of Blade 2.

He utilized his own original concept and changed certain aspects about it for Blade 2 so that it would still stand somewhat independently of his original work. The Bloodpack character Verlaine was originally scripted to be the twin sister of Racquel, the vampire in Blade that was played by Traci Lords.

Guillermo del Toro doesn't have many good things to say about screenwriter David S. Goyer and points out some groan-inducing dialogue in the DVD Commentary, though he admits that such bluntly expository lines as "Now you've got an explosive device stuck to the back of your head! This also was the second time for Ron and Guillermo del Toro to work together first one was Cronos Due to their strong friendship, Ron and Santiago Segura usually have a place in Del Toro's movies excepting Pan's Labyrinth However, the owners of the domestic rights wouldn't allow it.

Much of Karel Roden's dialogue is dubbed by an uncredited English actor since audiences found his Czech accent too thick. Stephen Norrington of Blade turned down the chance to direct as he wanted to move onto other things. The phrase "a man without fear" is used in this film.

This is another Marvel comic book reference, to Daredevil. As of , this is the only film on Guillermo del Toro's filmography in which he has no writing credit. The clock seen on the back wall of Damaskinos' lair is a reproduction of the Orloj, or astronomical clock of the city of Prague.

It's purpose is not only to tell the time but also to show the Earth's position relative to the sun, moon and the cosmos. The corporate artwork in the Caliban building, which is knocked over in the climactic fight scene, represents a DNA double helix. Scud offers Blade a joint, which he declines. Wesley Snipes would later cause problems on the shoot of Blade: Trinity by, amongst other things, staying in his trailer smoking weed. Frankfurt first met del Toro when Frankfurt's design company, Imaginary Forces, did the title sequences for Mimic Guillermo is such a visual director and has a very strong sense of how he wants a movie to look.

When you sign on with someone like Guillermo you're not going to tell him what the movie should look like, you're going to let him run with it. Del Toro chose not to alter the script too much from the ideas created by Goyer and Snipes.

I dissected most of the dailies from the first movie; I literally grabbed about four boxes of tapes and one by one saw every single tape from beginning to end until I perfectly understood where the language of the first film came from. I studied the style of the first one and I think Norrington used a tremendous narrative style.

His work is very elegant. Novak stands at the top of a staircase that is littered with fallen security guards. Director Guillermo del Toro acknowledges it as an homage to Frank Frazetta in the commentary. Blade himself wears Oakley Four sunglasses, the ninja-style vampires who descend near the start of the film to offer Blade a truce are wearing heavily modified Oakley Overthetops, Reinhardt sunglasses are Oakley Square Wires and a further appearance can be seen fleetingly being worn by the fat, bearded vampire towards the end of the film, he is wearing Oakley Mars.

All these appearance of Oakley sunglasses throughout of the film are apparently down to Wesley Snipes being big fan of the brand though his sunglasses in Blade were a pair of BlackFlyz. Wesley Snipes stated that while such a character is not going to have much emotional depth, he then stated: "there's some acting involved in creating the character and making him believable and palatable.

The lobby of the Caliban building is inspired by the lobby of the Creative Artists Agency in Beverly Hills, designed by renowned architect I. He clearly says "Torrentetres" which is a reference to the Spanish film Torrente 3: El protector which was in production at the time, and which was directed by Santiago Segura actor who portrays Rush. Del Toro also added that idea of them having very translucent skin and seeing all the veins came from his fixation with the mutants from Beneath the Planet of the Apes During the Reaper autopsy, Nyssa muses that they are different from vampires as vampires are from humans.

This implies somewhat early on that The Reaper strain is not a natural mutation, because it conveniently has so many biological defenses to things that commonly kill vampires. While demonstrating the UV light, Whistler points it with the filter on at Priest, who's the first member of the Blood Pack to die via sunlight, no less. The body armor that Whistler is seen wearing in a large amount of the film is actually Blade's body armor from the first movie.

It looks too big on Whistler which gives further meaning behind a line in the first movie where Blade says a UV flashlight is "still heavy" and Whistler replies "But you're so big. Hearing that comment normally, very easy to assume it's racist, but in the context of a vampire movie, you're racking your brain trying to figure out what it means. Post deleted This message has been deleted. Member since January I think it is because he is not a vampire and blood does run through him, and you need to have blood in you to blush.

Maybe they were insulting him because he wasn't a full vampire? Member since February If you listen to the commentary of the DVD with Snipes and Goyer you would understand why Goyer wrote that line in the script. See, you wouldn't probably be able to see a person blush unless he was white. That's why Blade refers to him as Adolf. Reporting in. Well, Asad doesn't seem like the sort of person who lets himself be casually goaded into fights.

I think Del Toro confirmed in the commentary that Reinhardt was supposed to be a neo-Nazi type, so that makes sense. Blushing can be taked as sign of embarrasing. So when he asked "can you blush? I heard that reinhart was a skinhead, so In the blade 2 commentary they actually mention why was the line was implemented. Apparently Snipes was telling the director a story about how some Austrian asked Snipes that very same question "Can you blush? In reference to the scene of the film where it's said, I had always interpreted the line as Rhinehart really trying to say the following: "Hi, Blade!

We're the Bloodpack, the special unit of vampires formed with the sole purpose of taking you out! But wouldn't you know it, because of one bald vampire making it bad for us vamps and our human cattle, we have to work together and stop him before him and his 'friends' turn the world into their clones! How does it make you feel to work with your enemies, especially the fact that we can turn on you at any given time and you'd never know when?

Does it makes you sad or happy? Dual meaning. It's sort of clever in a way, it's more of a bi-racial question normally though rather than just a black thing, so it's humorous that Blade would be asked that as a half-vampire. Presumably vampires can't. It's loaded.
