Wow, a new reason for me not to like Blade

"Adding to BLADE'S 'swordid' affair, Marvel and Wesley Snipes threatened lawsuits against the non-threatening actor Jeff Falcon several years ago when Falcon's film THE BLADE had to change the title to SIX-STRING SAMURAI."
- Dr. Craig D. Reid, Kung Fu Magazine

Dude! Six-String doesn't even have vampires in it! Were they worried they'd lose money (to an independant production which only got a limited theater release anyway) if the names were too similar; i.e. did they honestly believe that people might get the movies mixed up? Anyone who's even glanced at the posters will know that there's no way in hell to confuse the two. In fact the only thing they have in common is that both productions have swords in them. What a bunch of dickweeds.

I agree, although I think Six-Stringed Samurai is a cooler name anyway. Good flick!
