Whistler: Some of the legends are true though. Vampires are severely allergic to silver. Feed them garlic, and they go into anaphylactic shock. Then, of course, there's always sunlight, ultraviolet rays.
[Whistler turns on a weapon that produces ultraviolet light and points it at Blade's face.]
Whistler: I got this sucker running. You want to give it a try tonight?
[Blade takes the weapon from Whistler.]
Blade: It's still heavy.
Whistler: Well, you're so big.
The bloody makeup on Whistler's face and neck changes constantly throughout the scene when he gives his last words. See more...

In the Marvel Comic series where the characters originate from, Deacon Frost was actually an elder man, and an alchemist who dabbled in vampirism and - via one of his experiments - turned himself into a unique vampire who could create doppelgangers of his victims.
The original Marvel Comics' Blade was a member of a band of vampire hunters, who mainly fought Dracula (who also was a regular at Marvel). The others included Quincy Harker and Rachel van Helsing (both descendents of Dracula's enemies from Bram Stoker's novel), and Hannibal King (a vampire detective, and a victim of the original Deacon Frost).
During the chase with officer Krieger, the vampire on the side of the road biting the girl's neck is actually director Stephen Norrington.
