Totally revamped the character...no pun intended.

Nah man...John Woo was doing bullet time in the 80's...

Pretty much anything you see in American action films,he was doing in the 80's...

Kiss of the Dragon
Any thing Bruce Lee
Brother Hood of the wolf
City of violence
Azumi 1&2
Infernal Affairs 1,2,3

Just to name a few....Hong kong Cinema is the best....Also added a couple other foreign productions that are awesome.And a sprinkle of American productions note worthy...

Now granted, some of these were not made before Blade's "98" release..But to say Blade set a standerd for action,is not very accurate...I loved Blade 1 & 2, but its all been done before..American movies IMO have never set the Bar for action movies..Sci-fi I would have to say yes they have,but action no...

Also I watch a lot of anime,so many American movies copy that also...

Sorry a bit off topic,just saying..:-)
