Blade II (2002)

Trivia: Luke Goss plays the villain Nomak. Six year later, he would play the villain Prince Nuada in "Blade II" director Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy II: The Golden Army." Both characters have some notable similarities, including pale skin, the fact they both kill their fathers, and the fact that their sisters team up with the heroes.

Blade II (2002)

Trivia: In the original script by David S. Goyer, the Reapers were much larger, more intricate in design and had many more monstrous features. Director Guillermo del Toro eventually reworked them into being much simpler creatures that were similar to regular vampires save for their pale skin and split jaws. He felt this made them scarier since they could blend in better.

Trivia: The vampire Morbius was originally meant to be the main villain, but Marvel vetoed the idea as they wanted to save him for a solo-film. A Morbius movie is finally set to be released in 2022, exactly twenty years after the release of "Blade II."
