BLADE 1.........hands down classic!
Blade 2 was waaay better in my opinion
2 my fav
I agree

Wesley as Blade..... hands down one of the greatest casting choices ever!
Wesley shines in New Jack City as Nino Brown, and Demolition Man as Simon Pheonix. Solid performances still holds up 30ish years later
This dude was my hero growin up. Saw alll his movies. Blade 2 is my favorite.
Agree blade 2 was the best of all
For me the first blade will always be my fav. It just had such a raw 90s feel and that opening scene is iconic
Yes..Blade 2 was 🔥 🔥 🔥! Nomec vs Blade is CLASSIC!
Yep great story line
First Blade to me is the best, 2nd is good though dont get me wrong. Trinity was just...and it wasnt due to Snipes "attitude" it was due to the story getting destroyed.
Is it me or does Snipes have the perfect voice and intelligence level for radio talk
Wesley Snipes Blade films was the trailblazer for the new Marvel cinematic universe films we see today. Thank god for Wesley Snipes as he is one of my favourite actors.
Thank you for saying it. Because A LOT of fans today, don't realize that the studios would not take the chances that they do today, with superhero movies, if it were not for the success of the Blade Trilogy.
Too right.
Also a trail blazer for the matrix, bullet time and fast paced martial arts choreography, black leather, etc the first Blade predates all that too
Blade is better than all of them, but that's just my opinion
Blade and Spawn pushed the envelope and I loved it
Good risings, Daywalker.
😂😂😂
Demolition Man was my introduction to Wesley Snipes
Me too.
Hahaha he carried that film
King of New york then New jack city
New jack for me
Simon Phoenix
There’s no way Blade could have been better. Absolute masterpiece
If it were not for Blade, you would have no Marvel movies.
Weirdly and sadly people forget this fact.
Wow. Never thought about that. 100% agree.
Straight up truth, nuff respect
Have give you a ASE for that rhat one thing that's forgotten
TRUE
Blade 2 is still movie I can watch on repeat and not get boring! Such a gem!
So underrated. I want Blade 4 or a Netflix show WITH SNIPES because we already know what Blade without Snipes does...it lasts one season and gets cancelled.
I assume you mean teh 2006 BLADE: The Series. That was made by SPppi9ke TV and clearly on a low budget which was part of its problem, not b/c it didn't feature Snipes. If a Netflix made BLADE live action series got the budget they gave Resident Evil and it was handled by quality showrunner/writers it wouldn't require Snipes to be successful. Snipes is also getting too old to pull of that role. Blade is a vampire who ages very slowly and Snipes is just too old to pull that off. I imagine he probably is interested into teh training he'd have to do to perform teh role. It has been 20 years since he played Blade.
Me too
Lucky you a Blade movie is coming out, unfortunately not with Wesley Snipes but Mahershela Ali is a great actor. I cant wait honestly
Make sure you go see Deadpool and wolverine!🔥🔥🔥🔥😉
I didn’t know their was a tv show at all
Well spoken gentleman Wesley Snipes...RESPECT!!
Such a badass lol. I think he really is Blade in real life :P
Wesley could easily be a horror movie narrator, or a horror story teller. He has such a unique talent and it’s no surprise that the actor who plays the role Blade has INSANELY HUGE boots to fill. Wesley one of the greatest actors of all time in my opinion. This man came from a cloth of actors who all had a unique flavour unlike today.
I appreciate that Wesley is capable of understanding the value of quality over representation while still wanting to include it, and knowing which one takes priority.
He's had some great classic roles. The Fan is such an underrated gem with Robert De Niro.
Agreed! And don't forget another baseball gem: Willie Mays Hayes!
Andy P Sugar Hill was amazing as well.
I think Disney is waiting for Snipes either die or gets too old to look awfully bad, in order to reboot the franchise. It won't work with another actor. Yes, I know about the TV show.
Can't they just use him for Avengers 4?
was good
Mr Snipes will always be Blade. Bring back W.Snipes as Blade!
Well guess we won't have him as Blade
Wait till you see Deadpool and wolverine.
Wesley snipes is a BADASS , Blade is by far one of my fav movies ever !
I could listen to wesley snipes interviews all day. Straight up genius! just as mentioned in new jack city
Fantastic interview. So glad to hear Wesley is in a good place mentally, emotionally and spiritually. He sounds very upbeat and positive here. Cant wait to see him in future projects. Cheers
Really good interview. Wesley Snipes such a cool person. LOVE his attitude and outlook on life.
"SAY IT, BROTHER!!!" Man, I lost it!! :-D
man I remember seeing this at 6 years old....I was from a small town and it was my first time in Houston with my dad....we saw this movie is the biggest nicest theater I'd ever been in and it was a badass experience.....that last fight seen when he yelled for frost...... I still feel the goosebumps from that day....thank you Snipes!
MAN WESLEY SNIPS I LOVE HIM IN BLADE I HOPE HE MAKES A 4TH BLADE
His opinion about the irrelevance of praising an actor about the color of his skin is so on point. Whether black or white, the only thing that is relevant is their ability to do quality work that draws admiration and intrigue . Real humble man who does not bask in praise given to him as the first black superhero .👏👏👏
Blade speaks for itself for how great it is, but his role in Brooklyn’s finest was so amazing
Wesley is a true OG.
he is going to make a great comback
Talia Price he's one of the most underrated actors, not only action, but drama and comedy
Now that he is doing two movies with Eddie Murphy who is also making a comeback this is definitely very true. Wesley Snipes will shock the world with his come back 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Everyone who has ever made those jokes on him and his past mistakes will eat their words for real 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Apparently he owned all his scenes in Dolemite is My Name
@@adamdalla485 Nope lol
I love his positive outlook on life. Wesley continues to be a trailblazer in his work and for other actors / actresses.
looking like morpheus with those glasses
Is it me or does it feel like the interviewer was rushing the questions? It felt like it could of been slowed down a bit to make it feel more natural. Besides that I thought it was a lot of good information.
I thought the interviewer was rude. I would have liked to hear more of Wesley's deeper thoughts on things.
Read my mind!
@@StephieGilley I
This is one of those interviews where the interviewer would be most effective by allowing the guest to guide them where they want them to go and interject when it's convenient and not forcibly interrupt the flow.
Yeah in the beginning of the video and at 11:00 he basically cut him off, or doesn't let the answer sink in before he immediately interjects the second snipes stops talking, it definitely makes it feel rushed
Wesley seems like such a chill dude.
Miss him on the big screen....Hollywood needs to get it together and bring him back to the forefront!
Wesley Snipes is an Underrated Actor, He’s played Some classic roles and killed all them. Blade, Blade 2, whiteman can’t jump, Newjack city, Demolition Man, The Fan, U.S Marshals,Money Train, Brooklyns Finest, he’s solidified!!
All those are amazing but my favorite movie of his is the Disappearing Act, that Waiting to Exhale are movies where he truly displays his acting chops by being vulnerable. A living legend. 👌🏾
I had never listened to a Wesley Snipes interview until today, and not only does he come off as a really secure, and wise, gentleman… but it’s making me now want to go back to watch Blade along with the rest of his back catalogue.
I love how he says their company would employ those that are marginalised, but not just for the sake of inclusion.
Disappearing Act was a touching film to watch with your girl.
Why does he keep interrupting Snipes?
Hands down one of the most prolific, gifts of talent of all times Mr. Wesley Snipes. Now although Stan Lee did an incredible job diversifying the Marvel realm, he wouldn't of been wrong had he not include different ethnicities. Just saying.
The interviewer..you gotta work on your communication skills buddy, you got blade setting there trying to laugh and have a conversation with you dude, and you don't even react to his words..you gotta have some respect and manners 😏 wesley snipes will always be one of the best actors in hollywood..who didn't have enough time to make more great movies 😌
Man, that recall movie was awesome. It was an excellent story for not being super mainstream. The categories were nice. Wesley's role was a nice good solid movie.
Dang! Wesleys voice is sooooo smooth. Great video...keep rockin.
I would love to work for Wesley Snipes. I'm an actor looking for a break in the industry .
Blade is long overdue for a revamp...
same
I've been told Wesley Snipes is my look alike you and me both :-)
It was an absolute masterpiece!!! He IS BLADE!!! Nobody else can do Blade but Wesley Snipes!!!
Blade 4 needs to happen
My favorite vamp movie ever❤❤❤❤Love him. his awesome as an actor
I'm a big fan,,
Us as well.
Blade1 and 2 has always been my face movie man watched millions of times and it's sad 2019 they reboot it and Westly is not blade but I do hope he plays Whistler and its rated R
Blade started Marvel universe movies and is still the best. But marvel has suffered big time at box office for focusing on checking boxes and dei that story etc suffers majorly. Get a great story, stick with the lore, hire the best for the role, and fan service. Deadpool Wolverine is a great example. Pure fan service, good story, good cgi, and has a variety of races not because of race but best for the roles and for the story. Because of this it’s the highest grossing r rated movie ever
We all love Mr. Snips.
Wesley Snipes is so awesome.
Blade 2 the best have to give it to nomakkk he s a beast in this movie
This dude is my second favorite actor/action hero
I would like to see Wesley snipes in atlease two more blade movies
Wesley in my top 5 actors hands down 💯
Wesley you are one of the greatness and most versatile actor on the planet. I own Blade 1 and 11 and watch them on a regular basis. You are such a warrior and an inspiration. We love you Snipes!
He's blade, the MCU would not have its formula if he did not say yes to blade!!! And you know it!
Wasnt he the producer of that movie and writer?
I mean director*
I have missed this voice!!! i didnt even realize there were some decent action movies coming out with him in it as well. Time to go on a little binge.
You are the man Wesley, thank you for your great work, i love all of your movies!
I really love u wisney snipe from Kenya
Great message from wesley, if it doesn’t exist we can create it
love it when we know the English language. hes right. nobody wants to mourn in the morning or even saying hello to somebody is o hell. haaaaaa gotta watch what u say.
Snipes is at true OG. Im glad Reynolds gave the modern respect he deserves. The first Blade is still the best Marvel film. I said what I said.
Whatever happened to the collaboration with Blade and Underworld? What could have been?
Oh imagine!!
He's my blade too. On another note, what brand are wesley's shades? They are really cool.
wesley underrated definitely a snipes fan hope to see him in a great movie soon
Blade. Greatest superhero movie ever. ❤
This dude is Amazing Broooooo
We need blade, snipes back
Wesley, and rdj are the best marvel casting of all time..for Wesley is blade..
Wesley appreciates good quality work and is not worried about Woke Hollywood.
The water dance was a great movie and Disappearing acts with another great one
I fucken love Wesley snipes
Such an underrated movie blade!!
There are worse things out tonight than vampires, like what? .. Like me! My fav line of all time. Glad he showed it to the man himself.
I want this guy in blade 4. No one has the skills of fighting like this brother does.
Blade and blade two…two of the best movies and I watch them a couple times per year. I try the third one here and there but i really don’t like how they pushed blade aside.
he still make nice movie
He gave Mahershala ali his Props for being cast as Blade
Wesley is the best..Great interview but there were times Wesley was trying to make jokes and you not laughing and rushing to next question made it look awkward and boring.
You left out his first role in MJ Bad video.
Blade 4? Please, cmon! Only Snipes can play Blade! Only him!
In grade school my best friend was a young wesley snipes lookalike the resemblance was uncanny he even had the same eyes and same cry
Just cast him as an older blade for the solo film
Blade is a great Trilogy.
I had no idea blade was a marvel ! yea blade has been one of the reasons I've wanted to get into costume for film!
I hope they make blade 4 with wesley snipes
As cool as a cucumber - much respect to Mr. Snipes !
There is only 1 Blade and his name i
WESTLEY SNIPES
15:36 very intelligent man
He'll always be blade
Best looking costume out of all 3 too
I was watching movies with my nephew and his girlfriend and they said they never saw blade……. After i almost cried. I proceeded to put it on.
Willie Mayes Hayes Here!
Actually Robert Townsend was the first Black Superhero in The Meteor Man (1993).
I thought it was superfly 😂
We need blade 3 movies 😎😎😎
Completely agree! Would you still want to see him as Blade? Or have him make a cameo and have someone else be Blade?
q on cbc yeahhhh still wanna wesley as a blade i miss her action dude 😂😂😂
He should play as a mentor role in the new Blade movie.
14:52 any reason dude starts attacking Wesley?
is this the full interview ?
12:25 LOL that's right
