There are many variations of kicks in the many different karate systems, but there are four primary kicks: front kick, round kick, side kick and back kick. These four kicks can be further categorized (eg. thrust vs. snap, high vs. low, spinning vs. straight, etc.). A practitioner can achieve "mastery" in kicking within the system with solely these four kicks .

Which aspects of Tae Kwon Do are distinctly Korean and different from karate?
I believe that because the Koreans are taller than most Japanese, taekwondo was based around kicks as it was easier and kicks have more power than punches. Karate, like-wise, is based on punches because it was harder for most Japanese to kick at the height of a Korean's head. That being said.. taekwondo still has plenty of strikes and blocks as karate has many kicks

What martial arts used in the movie 'Blade'?
Pretty much all the throws, arm locks and head locks (which turn out to be arm and head breaks) are found in Jujutsu. The strikes such as kicks, punches and elbow strikes are from various karate styles (which may also encorporate some of the throws like the style of karate I do called shotokan, which use some throws). The various blocks are found in both karate and jujutsu, but mainly karate. Wesley Snipes is a 5th dan in Shotokan karate along with other Martial Arts, which is why he looks so confident performing moves that take years of practise to master.
What form of karate is based on striking?
The styles you are thinking of are Tae Kwan Do, and Northern Shaolin Kung Fu; Karate emphasizes economy of movement, so it frowns a lot on "fancy kicks." That is one thing all Karate styles are in agreement on, despite the differences of opinion on how to train and what is better to emphasize, Kata or Kumite. All Karate styles pretty much agree, fancy kicks are a big no-no; they waste too much energy, and precious seconds.
