Theatrically released 21st August 1998.
The Blade movies were the shit back in the late 90s and early 00s.
I owned the DVD back when players were so expensive that it was better for me to install a DVD-ROM in my computer, which required a separate mpeg-2 decoder PCI card. It had a jumper to pass through the VGA from the graphics card and overlay the DVD video.
Watching on a PC monitor with RGB cables was better resolution and color than a standard TV, which was magical to me. Also the 5.1 channel computer speakers in a home setup seemed like science fiction at the time.
Anyway, DVDs were limited and expensive and this was one of the few I owned. I watched it so many times, not only could I recite the dialog word for word, but I could copy the delivery and inflections of all the characters. Weird times [for me].
Damn, where did all that time go.
Still holds up.
That is insane! I remember going to my local cinema to see it!
shareAside from the CGI as mentioned above I feel this movie & Blade II hold up really well. Trinity was pretty meh but I'll still watch it.
