Blade is a 1998 action-horror film directed by Stephen Norrington, based on the Marvel Comics character and starring Wesley Snipes as a vampire hunter.
In our play-through the clips included a young man in a leather jacket in a dim kitchen and a stormy night skyline lit by lightning. The night-time urban mood fits the film's look.
Tip: if the clips are dark, nocturnal and city-bound with a 90s action feel, think of comic-book adaptations from before the 2000s superhero boom.
