      [1. WHAT IS BLADE'S REAL NAME?] (B1/B2/B3)
  Blade's real name is Eric Brooks.


    [2. WHAT ARE FAMILIARS?] (B1/B2/B3)
  Humans that assist the vampires, either setting enemies up or, assist
  in blood supply. Generally the slaves to the vampires. The vampires
  generally make them feel as though they are going to turn them eventually
  giving them immortality.


    [3. WHY IS BLADE REFERRED TO AS DAYWALKER?] (B1/B2/B3)
  Blade is a hybrid of human and vampire, he is referred to as the daywalker
  because he has all the strengths of the vampires and the ability to be out
  in daylight..which regular vampires cannot.


    [4. WHY DIDN'T THE GUY AT THE PARTY IN THE BEGINNING OF BLADE I DUST?] (B1)
 At the beginning Blade kills many vampires in the party, finally he stabs 
 (Quinn) up against the wall with apparent silver stakes in the shoulders. The
 only explaination is that the stakes used were not made of silver.


    [5. CAN VAMPIRES FEED OFF OF ONE ANOTHER?] (B1/B2/B3)
 Yes, but they cannot survive like this, as per Blade II. 


    [6. DO CRUCIFIXES WORK AGAINST VAMPIRES IN THIS TRILOGY?]
 No, unlike other vampire movies..crucifixes are ineffective.


    [7. HOW IS BLADE FUNDED?] {B1/B2/B3)
 Well the only pausable theory is getting stuff off of the vampires he kills,
 he has no employer or anything like that.


    [8. HOW IS THE LA MAGRA SEQUENCE COMPLETED IF FROSTS GIRLFRIEND KILLS ONE 
        OF THE PURE BLOOD MEMBERS AT THE END?] (B1)
 She killed one of the twins, so there was still one that was alive, which was
 all that was needed to complete the ritual.


    [9. WHAT ARE REAPERS?] (B2)
Created by the vampires, the reapers were supposed to be a advanced vampire
with no weaknesses that the vampires have now, however they were unable to
control them. Reapers, being uncontrollable, results in the vampires trying
to kill the reapers and vica-versa.


    [10. DO REAPERS FEST ON HUMANS?] (B2)
In the movie, no..but the theory is that after the Reapers were to kill the
vampires they would then go after humans.


    [11. WHY DOES BLADE ASSIST THE VAMPIRES?] (B2)
The Reapers are hunting vampires, if they kill all the vampires they would
then go after humans. This is why blade steps in, to assist the vampires
in killing the Reapers.


    [12. HOW DID WHISTLER SURVIVE IN BLADE II?] (B1/B2/B3)
Blade gave him a overnight treatment, it was designed to "de-vampirize"
Whistler..by locking him in the room at night with windows showing through,
if the next morning it didn't work Whistler would die, if not he'd still
be alive. 

This same cure is believed to be used by Hannibal King in Blade Trinity,
as well as by Karen in Blade 1.


    [13. WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE ENDING IN BLADE III?] (B3)
There are three seperate endings:
- The orignal (theater) ends with Blade on a operating table, fooling
  detectives into thinking they caught him and he is now dead, but then
  he morphs into Drake.
- The Extended version, instead has blade stand up all quick, the workers
  are in fear at the hospital, and it cuts off looking over Blade's
  shoulder.
- The alternative ending shows Abbie and Hannibal in Toyko hunting 
  hybrid vampires/werewolfs. Which is supposed to lead you to believe
  that there will be a spin off from Blade featuring these two.
