I rented blade yesturday cuz i never saw the ending. But when i saw the whole first part of the movie the matrix didn't come out so i didn't notice it. But yesturday when i saw blade again. I noticed that "The Matrix" copied ALOT of things from it. (matrix came out after blade)

Now they are both from WB so that might be a reason. Even when the movie starts its the same. Blade starts with a RED WB sign, and Matrix copies the different look and has a GREEN WB sign.

Our heros both have trench coats. and sun glasses. all black. "Blade, Neo" And Trinity or morphes can't remember which one. tells neo "theres a world beyond the world u live in" somethign like that. And thats what Blade told that black girl that got bit "theres a world beyond the world u live in."

Both are chosen ones.

But the ending really looked to much the same. At the end blade goes to the vampire lobby. And there a squat guys with machine guns running in the lobby to kill Blade. And it looks like the same lobby only smaller. The polls are the same too. Matrix does the same thing. :Neo and trinity enter the lobby and squat guys enter and fire and all the squat guys get wasted:: haha hell matrix even adds the elevator sound, just like blade did.

And i saw some pictures of Matrix 2. [SPOILER] Neo uses a SWORD! just like BLADE! [/SPOILER]

u will basically be watching another blade movie with matrix 2 but only with a white guy in a computer. whos fighting viruses instead of vampires!

what am i saying. haha i wont be thinking of that. but there are alot of things that matrix did that are from blade. BLADE AND MATRIX RULE!!!!!!

lol. Matrix didn't rip off Blade. The Brothers wrote it in 1995. Blade came out in 1998. The Matrix 2 and 3 were always in mind and they wanted weapons in from the start.

yeah but u got to admit the matrix and blade have lots of things in common. I'm not gonna list all the things i said, but they do. My friend and me were talking today and we were saying how cool it'd be if blade was in matrix 2. (not that he will be) but he wouldn't be much use. since blade fights physically and neo fights with his mind.(IN the matrix) but in fact neo is just sitting in a chair

So are you saying we should watch Blade 2 carefully, cos there may be a lot of similarities between it and Reloaded?

Blade came out before the Matrix.

The Matrix was WRITTEN in 1995.

Blade came out in 1998.

NOT a ripoff.

feelos, I don't think you know enough about the Matrix to assume that. the movies are about 2 totally different things, and judging by your synopsis of the Matrix, I doubt that you've even seen it, or at least paid attention when you saw it.

I think it is more likely that "The Matrix" was ripped off anime. The reason why I come to this conclusion?

The Matrix was what the writers always wanted to see: Live Action Anime.

Written or not how they mader the scences was a rip off... The matrix was WRITTEN in 95... when was Blade written? It cam out in 98... did they write and make it all in the same year?? Didn't think so. Blade was written at least 3 years before it actually made it to the theaters.

well, they were both in production at the same time and yes there are eery similiarities. But besides that nothing else. There are even a few lines that are the same, with Blade being 'The One'. So it's just a coincidence. And if there were a lawsuit each are by WB so......

you're all retarded. but i'm going to side with the Matrix folks here on this one. first off the matrix movie is 20 times better than blade, granted, blade was a great movie but the matrix was brilliant. and to whoever said the matrix 2 will be similar because neo fights viruses instead of vampires like blade you're an idiot every action movie has the hero fighting bad guys and if you think the matrix 2 is going to be "another blade movie" you should be shot in the face. i'll agree with the trench coat thing but it's not like the producers of the matrix sneaked onto the set of blade and wrote things down. nor do i think they went and saw blade and decided to change things in their movie to be like it. it came out less than a year after blade and i gurrentee(sp?) that the matrix had considerably more post production than blade. so the matrix was probably being filmed at the same tiem if not before blade. nuff' said

feelos, you made observasions of small parts of the movie like the way they dress and backround props, but the plots are nothing alike and the thing is you could point out similarities like that between alot of movies, but that doesn't mean they copied each other.

hey prophet maybe if u learned how to read u'd see that i said that even I didn't believe what i said. When i watch matrix 2 i said that i was just joking. Blade and Matix 2 wont be the same. Cuz obviously they aren't. And dont be coming in here and be calling all of us retards and idiots.

and patrix yeah i didn't say the plots were the same. There is like nothing similar between blade and matrix story. Just the little things. bullet time, coats, and i forgot what other things i said.

blade did not have bulletime. the matrix was the first to do this. bulletime is using many many cameras aligned in a path to take pictures a split second between each other. the pictures are then put together and shown in order. when they are shown it looks like you are moving around an object, or however they have it set up. i know it sounds confusing and i'm not good at explaining this but the point is that the matrix was the first to use bulletime and that frost dodging the bullet in blade was just some special effects done on a computer. and by the way - its just my personal opinion that both of these movies are original and neither copied off eachother. sure they're are coincidences - but there are lots of movies like that.

"bullet time" is just slowing down the action so you can see the bullet in flight, the whole deal with the camera being moved in bullet time is a totally different technique "bullet time" has been around for a while, it just wasnt called that

You could say the matrix copies Superman ~
They are both superheroes and now neo can now fly.
Superman & Neo can move fast. They are both based on comics!?! There are thousands of similaities. Yet, it's the story that sets the Matrix out form the rest - "being contemorary to todays tecnological advance"

Alot of characters wear black trenchcoats in movies. Blade wasn't the first to do it. The Crow, Seven (actually most cops movie characters do) The Prophecy, those are just a few. And I'm sure theres more.
Anakin was the One in Star War they ripped off Blade too? How many movies had characters that were the chosen One?

The long black trench coat was worn by many characters in movies long before Blade was released. The crow, The Terminator, The prophecy and most cop movies.All movie came out before blade.

Didnt they use the line "theres a world beyond the one we live in" in the movie swordfish? I'm sure if we watch out for that line we can find it in a few other movies too.
And Terminator wears sunglasses, did they copy blade? I dont think so.

I know what you mean. The animation in that scene was terrible. They could have just attached the actors to ropes and made it a little bit beleivable. Hopefully in the matrix reloaded they'll keep all the action live!
