• Filming took place from February 14 to August 2001 in London (United Kingdom), New York (USA), Prague (Czech Republic), and Toronto (Canada).
• During filming, Wesley Snipes was hospitalized after receiving numerous burns while working with fire and flammable artificial skin.
• Michael Jackson was considered for a cameo role.
• The final scene featuring Blade appearing in the peep show booth instead of a stripper essentially mirrors a similar episode from "The Crow: City of Angels." David S. Goyer was the screenwriter for both films.
• Initially, David S. Goyer wanted to include not one Nomak in the script, but two – twin brothers named Nomak and Starill, but he later abandoned this idea and left only Nomak in the final version.
• The idea of reaper vampires was inspired by Polish folklore, where vampires had a barb or “finger” protruding from their mouth, which they used to suck blood.
• Asia Argento, Kristanna Loken, Elena Anaya, and Rona Mitra were all considered for the role of Nyss.
• In the opening scene of the film, we see tram number 52 emerging from under a viaduct in the Karlín district, followed by an inscription on the screen stating that it is Parisian Street. In reality, it is Sokolovská Street. Parisian Street is located in the Jewish Quarter of the city and is very far from this location.
• When Blade and his team go to the club, it is night outside. When vampires fight a new race of vampires, and when Scud defends himself from the new race of vampires in the car, it is also night outside. But when Blade and Nomak fight, night suddenly gives way to day.
• The final scene featuring Blade appearing in the peep show booth instead of a stripper actually mirrors a similar episode from "The Crow: City of Angels." David S. Goyer was the screenwriter for both films.
