Samurai Swords in movies

2 of my favorite movies.

HighLander and Blade use Katakanas.
The one in High Lander is a Masamune but I don't know about Blade's.

Blade ... combines 2 of my favorite topics. Martial Art fighting and Vampires.

HighLander and Blade use Katakanas.

maybe it was just a mistake, but the japanese word for sword is katana.
