Continuity mistake: At the end when Reinhardt and Blade face off, Blade grabs hold of the sword, and in one particular shot the sword bends, yet in the following shot, it is straight. (01:33:15)
Revealing mistake: When Blade slices Reinhardt in half, as the sunglasses fly off the two halves of his face you can briefly see that Reinhardt (or more precisely the CGI model of him) has no eyes. (01:37:23)
Other mistake: Towards the end of the film, after Snipes beats up of a lot of vampires, Whistler throws Blade's sunglasses to him. They show him throw them in one shot, then in the next shot they show Snipes catching them. But look in the background at Whistler, he doesn't have the glasses, but is moving his arm like he is throwing them. The glasses must have been computer animated, and bad editing contributed to this mistake. (01:37:34)
Other mistake: At the end of the movie, when Novak bites Nyssa, Nyssa is screaming. You can clearly see mercury-amalgam fillings in her teeth. (01:41:02)
Continuity mistake: Just after Scud gets blown up, Reinhardt's face has no blood on it. Yet when he walks out of the room with Whistler, his face is covered in blood.
Revealing mistake: When Damoscinos is dying, just after being bitten, he stumbles to the ground. As he does so, you can see the tube feeding the green "blood" to his neck on the ground behind him.
Continuity mistake: After Nomak rips into Damaskinos's neck, Damaskinos backs up with no blood on his face, but in the next shot, his mouth is suddenly covered in blood and he is spitting up blood rapidly from his mouth.
Continuity mistake: During the scene where Damaskinos is talking to his lawyer, there is a lot of the jello-like blood substance on his plate. However, when he gets up to go to the pool of blood, there's nothing on the plate.
Continuity mistake: When Blade is fighting the henchmen near the end, he lifts the last surviving one into the air and you can see Blade's hand through the henchman's throat and it is obviously a dummy. Then, when he falls backwards, his hand is not on his throat, it is on the henchman's shoulder.
Continuity mistake: When Scud gets blown up there is only dry pieces of him that go everywhere, surely there would be blood as well.
Revealing mistake: Near the end, when Blade pierces Lomac's heart with the sword and blood comes out of his mouth, he starts wobbling around and they do a wide shot, behind Lomac you can see the tube that feeds the blood on the ground and it comes up under his costume.
Other mistake: If Lighthammer became a reaper and attacked Snowman in the sewers, why didn't Snowman come back as a reaper?
Continuity mistake: When Blade meets the Bloodpack for the first time, everyone is introduced by name. When they introduce Snowman (the swordsman), he does a gesture with his right hand. In the very next shot where they show Chupa, Snowman's hand is already back to the handle of his sword. He may be fast, but he's not that fast.
Chosen answer: Killing Scud with it probably was more satisfying for Blade than Reinhardt, who he easily beat as well. He hates familiars and that moment he used the bomb to have Scud reveal his betrayal, and then kill him, so he won't get away. Reinhardt he knew would not try to run, he was killing him anyway.

Agreed. I saw it as he was waiting for Scud to show his hand. Like Blade said, he knew Scud was a traitor/a familiar the moment they turned him. He was waiting for the perfect time to let Scud know that he was already well informed on his betrayal, and that his azz was now cooked. Doing it that way was way more satisfying for Blade.
