Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Novak is walking down a corridor with a woman, and when she says, "Where did you get that scar on your chin? " Novak puts his hand to his mouth to cover it when he coughs, but in the shot from the security camera and normal view his hand is not at his mouth. (00:01:25)

The-Immortal

Revealing mistake: In the opening scene, Novak attacks and bites a woman, and when the security guard begins to shoot at Novak there are bumps on Novak's back exactly where he gets shot, signifying the explosive squibs. (00:02:50)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, when Blade is chasing the vampires, in one shot two of the vampires are on the right, then one is on the left. Also, when Blade shoots them he runs past the exploding corpses, but in the next shot he's running past them again. (00:05:05)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: When the 3 vampires slide down the fire escape there are 3 motorcycles. When the third vampire lands the 3rd motorcycle is gone. (00:05:45 - 00:06:22)

Continuity mistake: When Blade's giving Whistler an injection, in one shot he has just his left hand on the back of Whistler's head; in the next shot, he has both hands there. (00:13:35)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: Close to the beginning of the film, when Nyssa and the other vampire come to offer a deal, Blade says "take off your masks", watch Nyssa, in one shot she takes the mask off with her left hand, then it switches to the right hand. (00:21:55)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: When we first see Novak in the head vampires's house on the computer, the image we see is not from a security camera perspective. (00:25:25)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: When Blade meets the Bloodpack for the first time, Reinhardt (Ron Perlman) tries to instigate him, and the rest of the Bloodpack draw their weapons on him. When Nyssa motions for them to put their weapons away, we see a shot of the entire group putting their weapons down. Snowman(Donnie Yen) had partially drawn his sword, and resheathes it. Immediately afterwards it shows him doing this again. (00:31:50)

Continuity mistake: Just before the blood pack enter the house of pain, Scud shows Blade the pneumatic wristblades but doesn't actually give them to Blade. Blade can only be seen wearing them when he uses them on Nomak, after which they are gone again. I know they were retractable, but if you look even when retracted they should still have been visible. (00:34:29)

Blade II mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Blade is entering 'the house of pain' where all the vampires are dancing, a crew member is seen at the bottom right hand side of the screen behind a table, pushing a button which makes the door go up for Blade. (00:35:10)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Blade and the Bloodpack go to the club to find reapers, there is a clip where Lighthammer and the girl go into an area by themselves. When it shows the two, the girl has a blue light filter on her gun, but when cuts back to her, there isn't any filter on it. (00:40:02)

Continuity mistake: When Scud is in his van looking to investigate a noise, you see a donut and a cigarette in his right hand, but when he turns on the lights, there is only a cigarette in his hand. (00:41:42)

Continuity mistake: In the house of pain scene, when one of the members of the blood pack, the one with the swords, stabs a reaper, he steps away and puts his hand on his other sword, in the following shot, he doesn't have his hand on the sword. (00:45:35)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: In the House of Pain sequence, Chupa is firing his machine gun at a Reaper who is fleeing across a balcony. As the shot cuts between different angles, Chupa's over-the shoulder angle indicates the Reaper has run over fifty feet. However, the balcony view where the Reaper runs directly towards the camera is the same section of balcony multiple times. Two female extras cower in terror against the wall several times before finally being killed by stray bullets. (00:46:16)

Revealing mistake: This is during the fight between Blade and Nomak at the House of Pain. While Blade is walking across the wooden platform, you can see Nomak readying himself to get launched on the platform. (00:52:20)

Other mistake: When Blade is fighting Nomak in the House of Pain, Nomak pulls a steel bar out of the ground and Blade retaliates by drawing his sword. The way he does this however (Blade grabs hilt and the sword magically detaches from his back) would suggest that either the sword wasn't sheathed or he just cut through both the scabbard and his coat. (00:54:20)

Continuity mistake: In the middle of the film when the Bloodpack gear up ready to go out and into the sewers to find the reapers. Blade and Nyssa are talking at a table, Whistler shouts "hey Blade, give me a hand". In this shot we see Nyssa looking at Blade, but in the following shot she is now looking down and away from Blade. (01:04:35)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: When they are underground and Reinhardt is about to shoot a load of reapers, he is standing with his back to the side of a small tunnel, but in the following shot, he is right in the center of the small tunnel. (01:12:45)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: At the end of the film when Reinhardt and Whistler are in a room together, Reinhardt turns and looks at the monitors and mouths "what the f**k?" he turns his head to the side, yet in the following shot his body is side on, and he is looking right at Whistler ready for the punch. (01:27:00)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: When Whistler shoots the lawyer from under the floor, you can see that the bullets go in at a diagonal angle, (up and to the left), but Whistler is straight under him. Therefore, the bullets would have to go straight up through the lawyer. (01:31:00)

Blade: You're human.
Kounen: Barely. I'm a lawyer.

More quotes from Blade II

Trivia: Whenever you see Scud, he's wearing a t-shirt with the logo of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defence (B.P.R.D.). The B.P.R.D. is the agency that Hellboy, another comic book character, works for. Hellboy was the next movie to be directed by Guillermo del Toro, Blade II's director.

More trivia for Blade II

Question: If Blade knew the bomb on the back of Reinhardt's head wasn't actually a dud like Scud believed it to be, why didn't he detonate it and kill Reinhardt instead of using it to kill Scud? Surely Reinhardt is a bigger threat than Scud. Blade could kill Scud with his bare hands if he wanted to.

Phaneron

Chosen answer: Killing Scud with it probably was more satisfying for Blade than Reinhardt, who he easily beat as well. He hates familiars and that moment he used the bomb to have Scud reveal his betrayal, and then kill him, so he won't get away. Reinhardt he knew would not try to run, he was killing him anyway.

lionhead

Agreed. I saw it as he was waiting for Scud to show his hand. Like Blade said, he knew Scud was a traitor/a familiar the moment they turned him. He was waiting for the perfect time to let Scud know that he was already well informed on his betrayal, and that his azz was now cooked. Doing it that way was way more satisfying for Blade.
