Trivia:

A great many handheld shots were accomplished with a special anamorphic-lens camera that also had single-unit sound - the only one of its kind in the world.
The Vampire Bible is referred to as "The Book of Erebus". Erebus is a god of darkness according to Greek mythology.
Udo Kier played Count Dracula in Blood for Dracula
In the scene where Blade is chased to the subway, and the subway train is passing by, all the passengers are cardboard cutouts with the special FX man among them.
In the last fight scene in the temple, Deacon says "My turn" - this is a reference to The Lost Boys.
