Other mistake: In the opening fight, right before the title card, Blade fights five vampires. He kicks one, who falls onto the ground and starts to crawl away. He then kills the other four vampires with his weapon (sort-of a blade that's on a line he can whip around). After those four vampires "dust," you see the fifth vampire (the one Blade had kicked earlier) on the ground... and he spontaneously "dusts" for no reason whatsoever. Blade did nothing to him... he just dies for no reason.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: He gets hit by the silver knife on a string (whatever it is called) like the others in 1 swing (there are 5 in total BTW). A small touch seems to be enough to dust them.
You are correct there are five (typo), but the last vampire does not get hit by the knife in any way that I can see. Watch this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LkxaihdyRE Blade swings the knife-line above his head (you can see the line in the entire shot), and there's never any point that I can identify where it hits the vampire on the ground. Blade swings it in an upward motion, and you can see the line goes slack after it hits the last vampire on the left side of screen, implying that it stopped and fell to the ground in that direction.
The blade goes around his head at least twice before it hits the last 2 vampires. I admit that it's unlikely but you can't really see where the blade goes unless you go into slowmotion (if that even shows anything as it's all CGI). It could have hit him at any point.
It does go around his head twice and is quite fast, but it is definitely visible throughout the shot (slow mo is not required), and at no point does it go low enough to hit the vampire on the ground. It would need to completely defy all laws of physics to do that.

Trivia: At one point, Blade sarcastically asks the Nightstalkers if they think hunting vampires is like "a sitcom." Both Ryan Reynolds and Patton Oswalt, who play two of the Nightstalkers, starred in sitcoms either before or while this film was made. ("Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place" and "The King of Queens" respectively).

Trivia: According to actress Kate Beckinsale, a few years after the release of "Blade: Trinity," Sony/Screen Gems approached New Line and tried to pitch a crossover movie in which Blade would appear in an "Underworld" film, but New Line declined the offer.

Blade: Trinity (2004)
Trivia: The first major studio film directed by David S. Goyer, whom wrote all three movies. Another director was lined up, but fired early in production, and Goyer was selected as a last-minute replacement. Series star Wesley Snipes, weary of Goyer's lack of experience and wanting a veteran director, protested, which was the start of the behind-the-scenes drama mentioned elsewhere in the trivia.

Blade: Trinity (2004)
Revealing mistake: Throughout the final fight-scene, anytime Wesley Snipes' face is not on camera, you can often tell that Blade is played by a stunt-double. The double is a bit thinner than Snipes, which gives it away.

Blade: Trinity (2004)
Trivia: Despite the production troubles on this film, series star Wesley Snipes has long lobbied to get a fourth film made to redeem the series after this third film was met with a generally lukewarm reception from fans. Though he tried for a number of years, the rights to the character eventually reverted back to Marvel, whom have hinted at a potential reboot as opposed to a fourth film.

Trivia: On the DVD/Blu-Ray, there's an alternate ending featuring a werewolf. In the scene, director David S. Goyer appears in a cameo as the casino-goer that Hannibal King punches and throws onto a table.

Continuity mistake: The Daystar Arrow changes size between shots after Blade stabs Drake with it. When it is first fired by Abbigail, it looks to be about the size of a standard arrow (it looks at least 24" long if not longer), but when Blade later picks it up and stabs him with it, it suddenly shrinks in size quite a bit. In a few shots, including the tip, it looks less than a foot long. Only the tip is buried into Drake's chest as shown in the film, so that can't be an explanation. Also nothing in the movie indicates it might have snapped or broken. (Drake caught it and dropped it right before being stabbed with it, which shouldn't have broken it). It literally just suddenly is about half the size it was.
