Line 48:
* [[High Altitude Interrogation]]: A mook is dangled in an attempt to lead the protagonists to the [[Big Bad]], but he refuses to talk. Then his cell rings. Blade answers, tells the mook it's for him, and lets go of the rope.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Blade is fooled into killing a human disguised as a vampire, despite having the instincts to distinguish between the two! Considering in the first movie he could smell a vampire from roughly forty feet away, and can even differentiate vampire and human by the way they move, there is no way he should have been fooled.
* [[In Name Only]].: ▼
* [[In Name Only]]:* Hannibal King. In [[Blade (Comic Book)|the comics]] he is a middle aged (in appearance) [[Vampire Detective|Vampire 50s-style hard-boiled private investigator]]. In the film he is twenty or so year old wise cracking vampire hunter who was cured of vampirism before the film began. Most of the change is probably down to the [[Ryan Reynolds|casting]].
* [[In Name Only]]:* Dracula is a vampire that can infect others with vampirism and has minor shape-shifting powers but that is it. No Romania, no brides, no accent, no gypsies working for him, and no signals that the other characters of the novel ever existed. In fact, Hannibal pulling the Marvel Comics' book [[The Tomb of Dracula]] and Blade being skeptic about him may be a hint that the book itself is fictional but somehow Dracula is still real.▼
* [[Ironic Name]]: A werewolf named [[w:Jack Russell Terrier|"Jack Russell"]].
▲* [[In Name Only]]: Dracula is a vampire that can infect others with vampirism and has minor shape-shifting powers but that is it. No Romania, no brides, no accent, no gypsies working for him, and no signals that the other characters of the novel ever existed. In fact, Hannibal pulling the Marvel Comics' book [[The Tomb of Dracula]] and Blade being skeptic about him may be a hint that the book itself is fictional but somehow Dracula is still real.
* [[Kryptonite-Proof Suit]]: Anti-sun excursion suits.
* [[Les Collaborateurs]]: The vampires' various human "familiars", who knowingly aid the vampires against their own kind.
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
* [[Present Day]]: Set in 2004, the release year of the film.
* [[Product Placement]]: All the computers are Apple brand. The fact that Abigail likes to listen to an iPod while fighting vamps is made into a character trait. There's even a little montage of her putting together a playlist. This inspired quite a few groans. Apple actually didn't pay for the product placement, but it did sold the product with sixty percent discount.
* [[Public Domain Character]]: Dracula, though he is such a deviation of the original character he may as well be [[In Name Only]].
▲[[In Name Only]].
* [[Re Cut]]: The film has an extended cut with an alternate ending.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Drake.
