Trivia:

  • 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.
     
  • Donal Logue reinjured his jaw in the scene where he is struggling with N'Bushe Wright in the hospital. He had originally broken his jaw in a motorcycle accident years before.
     
  • The Vampire Bible is referred to as "The Book of Erebus". Erebus is a god of darkness according to Greek mythology.
     
  • The vampires at Frost's party are watching Mortal Kombat.
