Our Movie Madness Cinematic Sixteen started off with a doozy: Jason Bourne versus John McClane. Bourne had an early lead, but after we posted a link about the matchup on the HDD Facebook page, the voting swung into McClane’s favor and never turned back. Bourne made a good run, but the resourceful McClane will be moving on. Today’s battle is one of my favorites, because of how evenly-matched the contestants are: Blade versus Alice. Who’s going to win?
Blade has had a very easy road up until now. The luck of the draw matched him up against the loveable Shrek and the all-too-human Dr. Richard Kimble. However, now Blade faces a formidable opponent. He’s got superpowers, but so does she (depending on which version of Alice we’re discussing). This is going to be a fight for the ages.
Blade – He hacked his way through two easy opponents, but from here on out it’s going to be very tough to get a win. Alice is just as determined as he is, and just as good a fighter as he is. Blade might have breezed through the first two rounds, but his test starts now.
Secret Weapon: His vampire-like abilities seem to give him a slight edge, but not that much. He’s a weapons expert, but like we’ve noted before, many of his weapons are specifically built to kill vampires, not zombie-slaying hotties.
Alice – Perhaps the most miraculous road through the tournament has been Alice’s. She barely got through the first round against fan-favorite Léon. Léon’s lead stayed steady throughout the voting, but then Alice came back with a surge. We had our first and only tie in the tournament. Since Alice’s movies have grossed more box office dollars (as per the rules), she moved on. Alice next easily handled Morpheus, and now has to take on the vampire hunter, Blade.
Secret Weapon: I know different versions of Alice, depending on which movie you’re watching, have different powers. Let’s just say this Alice, fighting Blade today, is the toughest Alice out there. Meaning, not only is she a genius when it comes to firearms and hand-to-hand combat, but she’s also got some killer telekinesis powers. That might just give her an edge in this fight.

Loading ...Here’s what the tournament looks like now. I think we can all agree that the Cinematic Sixteen is a fearsome bunch.

AuthorGirl power! Alice is the only woman left in the tournament.

Another tough battle. I have to give the edge to Alice. She did survive the zombie apocalypse after all. Also, she has telekinesis, and there may still be extra clones of her around who can help out in the fight.
Pedram
Alice may have some zombie killing skills, but I’ll use the same argument used for Blade: Alice is adept at killing zombies (and Umbrella guards), and Blade is much more than a zombie or a security guard.
Besides, most of Blade’s weapons for killing vampires would do a pretty good job of killing a human too.
Josh Zyber
Ah, but Alice has killed much more than just zombies and security guards. She’s also had to fight humongous monsters like the Licker, Nemesis, etc. She always has a “big boss” to overcome at the end of the movie.
Aaron Peck
AuthorGotta agree with that. She’s killed loads of giant monsters and mutations. She’s more than able to take on a human-vampire hybrid.
Luke Hickman
I gave it to Alice too. This one is neck & neck!
