Written by Mr. Mouseburger 13th Jul 2005

Frost has just killed off the leaders of the world's ruling vampire families in some strange antechamber-cum-temple. This ritual starts off La Magra: a fulfilment of an ancient vampire prophecy which brings the vampire god to life. Blade arrives in the chamber but is too late to prevent Frost from being possessed by the blood god, and so he prepares to do battle in the film's showpiece sword fight/martial arts finale.

A few initial sorties show just how futile Blade's efforts are going to be. Blade manages to chop off Frost’s arm, only for it to regrow and he also cuts Frost in twain, only for his body to reattach itself.

In reply, Frost gives Blade the ass-whooping of his life and things begin look grim for our hero as he lies on the ground, bereft of ideas. He looks up and spots his belt full of vials balancing precariously on a rock ledge. One deft throw of his sword dislodges the vials and they fall into his hand.


Frost thinks that the vials are Blade's serum for slowing down the vampiric disease, and so is unperturbed at Blade getting the vials. However, he couldn't have been more wrong. Fortunately for Blade, he has met up with a haematologist who has concocted a liquid which reacts explosively when it comes into contact with vampire blood (that was a handy chance meeting!), and the vials are filled the stuff.

Now, being a blood god, Frost is almost invincible, but his one weakness is the blood in his veins. Blade, through a variety of overly flamboyant martial arts moves, throws/kicks the vials at Frost which stick into his body and inject him with the liquid. This agitates Frost's blood and he starts to blister.


The camera pans out so the audience can see the full effect of Frost's body bloating before it finally explodes, showering the temple with blood and body parts.

[img]null[/img]Deacon was Blades greatest enemy out of the movies...and gave blade one hell of an ass kicking,as for Frost's death...well,it looked like he was a very deformed strawberry before he blew up...rather messed up but it was an effective way to kill the blood god.

Is it possible this might be a rare instance of Head Shot that is not fired by a gun? After all, Blade does shoot/kick one of the vials right into Deacon's head (as exhibted by one of the screen shots)?
Comment 3 by 'Kooshmeister' (reply to this comment)
I think that counts as Projectile and Stabbing, as well.
Comment 4 by 'Matt' (reply to this comment)
Isn't this a One on One? If so, this is now a 9 category wonder...
Comment 5 by 'Nino' (reply to this comment)
this death is so satisfying. i'd probably rank it in the top five most satisfying bad-guy deaths ever.

Umm, Mousebluffer? About the use of aniumated GIFs... winking smiley
Comment 7 by 'MajorBaxter' (reply to this comment)
What about "Revenge"? Blade spent his whole life searching for the thing that killed his mother, then he finds out that thing is Frost, then he finds out Frost turned his mom into a vampire, and then he is forced to kill his mom. That would piss me off.
Comment 8 by 'MajorBaxter' (reply to this comment)
I'm going to suggest "explosion" too. It says it right there in the write-up, Frost explodes.
Comment 9 by 'sharpestlives93' (reply to this comment)
see but its not a blood coagulant, its an anti-coagulant that (sadly) kills frost


yes sadly

stephen dorff portrays a really hotwinking smiley (but evil) vamp

so yeah...


anyway, its an anti-coagulant
Comment 10 by 'TheFinalWarden' (reply to this comment)
I am not going to lie, for such a good movie, the anti-coagulant ruined it for me. It was too cheesy and reminded me of stuff you see on cartoons for kids save for the blood. Everyone in the theater sat confused after the first use of it and I just outright laughed after Frost got hit with it. Leave it to Hollywood to pull a Willy Wonka death scene for an action movie.
