Blade Opening Scene

The opening scene of BLADE isn’t perfect. There are shots that aren’t really good and some moments where the lighting continuity is just off, but the atmosphere set by the opening blood rave is amazing. I’m sorry, but the combination of blood coming down from the ceiling, the strobe light and the thumping techno just combine for this ridiculously cohesive moment of pure adrenaline that sets up this dark, sadomasochistic world where a wisecracking Wesley Snipes kicks vampire ass.
