I think its both.

This movie had a uniquely shitty cast.

It was as if most of the vampires were actors that were taking a quick break from shooting pornos. And they brought their "boss fucks the secretary" wardrobes along.

hahaha

I've never seen "Blade", but I gather this is like in Zorro films where, when he's about to beat the captain of the guard, Zorro takes off his mask to reveal he's actually foppish Don Diego? "That's right, I've been under your nose as Reddi Motherfucker all this time and you never even suspected!"

Or maybe this is the reveal on a MacBeth-style prophecy: "Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn the power of man, for none that but leave woman shall harm thee". Who doesn't "but leave woman" except someone who re-enters her, a mother-fucker if you will?

that was two, but this one had "cock-juggling thundercunt", so that's something. (also jessica biel running around doing flips and shit)

"Cock-juggling thundercunt" is truly amazing.

All I remember was how monumentally bad the casting was.

That was the second film, and they weren't a totally awful idea. That is, keeping in mind that this is a B-movie comic book series.

Del Toro actually made the second one halfway decent.

Back sheaths are pretty much done for the look. And they're often quite stupid-looking. Some Japanese swords were sheathed like that, but they weren't as long as the ones we see in films, and the idea of Europeans doing the back-sheath thing (other than some of the Celts) is pure myth.

I blame the ridiculously huge Daiklave Swords of Weeaboo +5 that insist on polluting the media, since they'd apparently look even more idiotic strapped to a hip.
