Trivia:
When Blade returns to his headquarters early in the movie, Scud remarks, "The Dark Knight Returns" This is a reference to another comic book character that hunts by night, Batman, who was the subject of a classic comic book miniseries.
The corporate artwork in the Caliban building, which is knocked over in the climactic fight scene, represents a DNA double helix.
In the scene when Blade cuts the vampire, Reinhardt, in half, this is a reference to the anime film Vampire Hunter D in which a similar scene occurred.
The lobby of the Caliban building is said to be inspired by the lobby of the offices of Creative Artists Agency in Beverly Hills, which were designed by renowed architect IM Pei.
In the scene where Blade and the bloodpack are walking towards the house of pain, you see briefly through Whistler's thermal-scope that Blade is hot blooded unlike the other vampires.
