What GDT Had To Say "I think BLADE kicked butt. And I -personally- got a bigger rush from it than from Matrix. BLADE is not a 'flawless' film. It's rough around the edges and sometimes kinda clunky, but there is so much raw power in it. No matter what the PR machine says, BLADE brought Hong Kong to America first. And it was the FIRST movie to break the 'Marvel curse'."
Notes Made for 54 million US, Blade 2 is considered 'pure -kinda brainless-entertainment and a feast of colour noise and movement' by GDT. The main lesson he took from the film was becoming fluent in staging and shooting fight scenes. He felt the substance of B2 was in the colours, shapes and Wesley kicking butt and changed the script very little from the original by Goyer as he felt it had great rhythm and off the cuff dialogue although, had the script been his, he probably would have added a little more heavy dialogue/content. Wesley's tattoo in the film, took 2 and a half hours to apply unless it was a full body shot, and then it took over 5 hours to complete. As for the actor's in the film, GDT loved Luke Goss's audition and points out that Luke is 'humble, hardworking and talented'. Karel Roden left enough of an impression to be asked to join the Hellboy crew as Rasputin.
