When he starts walking down the street away from the camera, there are newspapers blowing in the wind. I thought was the definition of absolute coolness. What a BAMF! I remember thinking, this is our generation's Shaft. Odd thing was i had only seen Shaft for the first time in '95 or '96.

I was about 20 years old when I saw this in the theaters . I was amazed by the whole new world the movie created . It was so dark and had a real life feel to it . The crowd was cheering after the first scene at the vampire disco dance . Everyone knew the movie was going to be great . I remember the very night I saw Blade because an hour or two later on that night I got into a big accident on my bike and broke my arm . I had a complex fracture . They said I was delirious walking my bike down Main Street , I remember none of this . They told me my arm was broken ,I went to move it and went " Yeah it's broken " and laughed at them . I was I the hospital for 3 days after for observation, even though there was no observation .

Saw it with a buddy when it first opened. I remember being surprised by how good it was, and regarding audience responses, I remember only one thing that stood out: when Blade yelled at the cops for shooting him ("MF, are you out of your damn mind?") and the cops ran off, the audience erupted in laughter.

I remember being skeptical at first. Comic book films were only occasionally good during the height of Burton's Batman success. Actually, Batman was as good as it got for nearly a decade of sh!tty comic book films. Batman & Robin left a huge void, and this had to follow up that travesty. Faith in CBM's were at an all time low. I actually first remember seeing footage of this on a martial arts convention show on some random cable channel. It certainly piqued my interest.
Cut to the first day of release. The first action sequence put all doubts to rest. The visceral nature of it all and the crowd's reaction was off the charts. Marvel is too safe and self aware to produce a film as great as this anymore, and you may as well apply that to most filmmakers these days (DC or Marvel). This film ushered in a new generation, because of how unique it was at the time. The whole thing felt utterly fresh despite what some reviews suggest. The vibe will never be recaptured unless the studio allow some unknown to go completely nuts with the IP.

I saw this at this 1 ghetto theatre on the South Side of Chicago. But everyone there enjoyed the movie, big time.
What made my night more interesting ? I had a blind date, she liked meand well I didn't like back as much. So when action parts came, she'd try to grab my arm and I pulled away, knowing she wanted more (poor me)
After that, 1 of my buddies went to the city and got his hands on a hot cop of this movie. Honestly the cover of the hot cop was way better artwork then the actual release. I watched that tape, tons of times until Video Update released it on VHS. At that moment I had 2 stereo hi-fi VCRs and did what I had to do.
Then I went to another slightly ghetto theatre to check out Blade 2. Luckily my friend knew the staff at the theatre so yes it was kind of them, to let me in. Like he said = Oh you didn't think, I forgot about you ??? So yeah I got the hot cop of this but the soundtrack wasn't as good as thee 1st.
Blade TrinityI'm glad I didn't rent from the Mom-Pop store; when they offered it to be rented early to customers. But that movie was 500% about Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds. Ok and not that great.
So yes Blade left memories.
