Four years after scoring a box-office touchdown with
Blade (1998), actor
Wesley Snipes returns to portray the
Marvel Comics character again in this sequel that teams him with Mexican
horror director
Guillermo del Toro. A half-vampire, half-human hybrid,
Blade (
Snipes) is a merciless vampire hunter bent on destroying the bloodsuckers that feed on humanity. The keys to
Blade's success are a serum that allows him to resist the urge for blood and an array of inventive, deadly weapons, both of which were once supplied by his mentor,
Whistler (
Kris Kristofferson). Since
Whistler's death,
Blade has relocated to Prague and recruited the pot-smoking slacker
Scud (
Norman Reedus) to take the place of his father figure, but then he discovers that
Whistler's not dead after all: He's been infected with the vampire virus. Reunited with
Whistler,
Blade is dealt an even bigger surprise: His greatest enemy, vampire leader
Damaskinos (
Thomas Kretschmann), wants to make peace with him. It seems that the vampires are facing a greater threat than
Blade and hope to persuade him to fight the Reapers, a mutated super-race of vampires on a rampage of murder, indiscriminately killing both humans and their fellow bloodsuckers while sucking their victims dry.
Blade agrees to a truce and joins the Bloodpack, an elite squad of commandos originally formed to fight
Blade himself. Soon, the vampire soldiers discover that the virus responsible for creating their enemies is spreading rapidly and can be traced back to a mysterious "Patient Zero."
Blade 2 (2002) co-stars
Ron Perlman,
Leonor Varela,
Donnie Yen, and
Matt Schulze.
