Trivia:

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.
The vampires at Frost's party are watching Mortal Kombat.
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.
During the chase with officer Krieger, Stephen Norrington, the director, has a cameo as the vampire on the side of the road biting the girl's neck.
In the last fight scene in the temple, Deacon says "My turn" - this is a reference to The Lost Boys.
