Traci Lords should have played Mercury


instead of Arly Jover. She would have been perfect for that character.

Traci Lords is hotter, cooler, and more badass.

This was a great movie but a few things could have been done different to make it perfect.

Regardless, a role was written for her in Blade II. I believe Lighthammer's girlfriend was to be the twin sister of the character she played in this film. Originally, the part was written to be bigger, but she turned it down and they scaled it back.

What do you say, you dumb bitch?

I heard that as well. Blade was supposed to walk up to her and say something like: Didn't I already kill you?

I like Traci Lords but Arly was ultra hot and I'm Glad they gave an unknown a shot.
I just didnt like that she didnt make it big.
