When Lucian stabs Selene from the top of the car, the depth of the stab to her shoulder and the amount of blood on the blade when Lucian retracts it are different. See more...
According to the DVD commentary, the entire budget for Underworld was the same as the highway chase scene in The Matrix Reloaded. See more...

All of the Lycans in the movie were animatronic, only the morphs were CGI. [Not true, the Lycans were portrayed by people in costumes, only the faces were animatronic. If you watch the features on the extended cut it shows how they used leg extenders to make the actors taller and walk more like a wolf.]
Selene is actually the name of the Greek Goddess of the moon, showing possible link to the Lycans (maybe a subject for the future films?) [Prior to overcoming the limitation, the moon was also quite important to vampires, as daytime sun would kill them - so her name is more likely a tribute to her vampire lineage.]

The vampires invent a bullet that contains a silvery metallic liquid - they claim it is silver nitrate. Pure silver nitrate forms white crystals; in solution it is colourless. [They didn't say it was PURE silver nitrate. If someone says they have a gold watch, that doesn't mean it's pure gold.]
During the final fight with Viktor and Michael, there are countless times where Michael slices Viktor, the slicing sound effects indicate that the slashes are hitting Viktor. But there only seems to be one (maybe two) slice marks in Viktor's chest at the end of the fight and it is bleeding, so what about all those slashes (with the connecting noise) that connected with Viktor's face? [When Selene gets stabbed in the shoulder and passes out, she wakes up to find her stab wound fully healed. It makes sense that Viktor's scratches are healing at a fast pace and therefore leaving no mark.]
After Selene shoots through the floor to follow Michael down she should land right where Lucian is meeting Michael at the elevator. However she appears from around the corner, some distance from them. [Michael has gone right down to the ground floor where Lucian is waiting for him. Judging by his flat number 510, he lives on the fifth floor. Selene only goes through one floor, down to the fourth, then uses the stairs to reach the bottom.]
After Viktor throws Michael into the pillar, he hits the ground and a black cable can be seen with him. Is that the wire that was holding him up? There doesn't really seem to be anywhere for it to come from. [On closer inspection, it looks like an electrical cable of some kind, although it's not attached to anything (it is a defunct building, after all).]
How did the Lycans know the exact location of the safe-house that Michael was in? Selene told Michael that they take the Lycans there and remove the silver bullets in order to question them. After questioning they put the bullets back in. Since the vampires would put the silver bullets back into a Lycans body the lycan would eventually die and therefore it would be impossible for any knowledge of the safe-house or any others to be discovered. [Given that Kraven is in league with the Lycans, it's not remotely out of the question that he might have revealed the location of the safe house at some point.]

In the end where we see the werewolf-technician's blood dripping down to Marcus, this would not have any effect as lycans and vampire blood don't mix. Even if he had been human, Marcus would need memories of a very focused mind. Who would that be? [Apparently you didn't understand the "There is a descendent of Korvinus right there". The point is that whatever 'raw' genetic ability there is in the Korvinus bloodline, its both present in Michael (Selena's lover and the newly Hybrid creature) and in Marcus (who slumbers). The werewolf blood -will- mix with Marcus' blood for that very reason. The fact that the memories will be extremely fragmented will likely be part of the storyline of P.2, since Marcus will likely be insane with confusion and rage (since his other Elders are slain).]
Near the end, when Selene quickly jumps with the sword and cuts Victor's head, an awfully long time passes by until his head finally splits. He stands up, turns around, puts his knives out and then his head slips. Plus it seems like his head has no skull. Just flesh and brain. [You make it seem like a much longer time than it actually is.... Plus Victor is a vampire, it goes without question that his body heals, his head was trying to heal it self but the wound proved to be too much. And yes, you can see Victor's skull.]
The scene in which Michael is in the back seat of the police cruiser after jumping out the window - watch his teeth - they change from sharp to not sharp and back again. [This is the result of Michael fighting his transformation.]
When Selene is watching Viktor's tomb for the first time, before the arrival of Amelia's messenger, the shots from within the room she's standing in show that room is pretty dark, but the shots from within the tomb show a bright, well illuminated room. [The glass window set in the tomb wall is heavily tinted on one side. Notice later you can see out of it pretty well, but it looks dark inside.]

Selene discovers the new UV bullets and gives a clip to the weapons master. Given that the technology to build the bullets is brand new and has not been seen before by either vampire, how is it possible for the weapons tech to build large quantities of silver nitrate bullets in the space of the few hours within which the story framework exists? Probably without even the basic munitions components being available. [Considering the resources of the vampires and the obvious experience of the Armorer, it would not take more than a few hours to recreate the new rounds. Bullets with a hollow Lexan nose filled with shot are readily available already. These rounds would not be really any different.]

Selene comes back after being rescued and Kraven comes to speak to her. When he goes to leave, he stops and glances over his shoulder. At this point you can see his microphone wire over his coat on his left side. [They use boom mics, not mics that you hide under your clothes.]
As a trained medical professional, Michael's CPR is a bit off. He doesn't loosen Selene's clothing (a bit tricky I admit, but he could have undone her collar; we see it loose several times). He doesn't perform any checks to see if she IS breathing or has a pulse, then he opts immediately for chest compressions . Assuming she had no signs of life (quite likely; she has just been drowned and is a vampire.) he should have attempted 2 mouth-to-mouth breaths before this. [At first it looks like Michael is performing chest compressions, but it seems more likely that he was performing a variation of the Heimlich maneuver (one that is done on unconscious people, such as Selene was) to force the water out of her lungs.]
In the scene, and most of the movie, when Selene shoots the floor to have it break, and fall to the level below, she only uses two guns. Most automatic weapons of that size only have six bullets. She shoots many more than twelve. [Last time I checked a standard 9 mil pistol (say a glock) could take 15 bullets in a clip and one in the chamber for a total of 16. Add an extension clip and the total can get as high as twenty even most revolvers now come with 8 chambers.]
Kraven tells Selene "Lucian wouldn't be in the slightest bit interested in a human Michael or otherwise", but at this point, we are led to believe Lucian is dead, killed by Kraven. [What Craven did was slip up...we, and Selene, aren't supposed to know that Lucian is still alive. But Craven knows. When he says "Lucian wouldn't..." etc, that is the first indication Selene has that Craven isn't on the up-and-up. It's a mistake made by the character, not the writers.]
Before Selene goes to free Michael there are a few shots of Michael straining to free himself of his chains and break free. In each of those shots the bite and the blood on his neck has disappeared. [Since, at that point, Michael has become a full-blown Lycan, he has adopted their regenerative capabilities. As for the blood, it could have been wiped off by Lucian or one of the others.]

The film is set in an unnamed eastern European city - see the cars' number plates, the street signs and Michael's address on the computer - yet interior scenes have predominantly English signs ("South Terminus", "Exit"). [Whichever city they are supposed to be in, all the characters talk in English, so it's acceptable for all signs and notices to be 'translated' into English too.]

In the first gunfight sequences of the movie that occur on a subway station and that eventually move on to the train itself, Selene ultimately throws herself out the window of the rear door on the last car of the train to quicken her chase after a Lycan; shattered glass flies in every direction, naturally. A short while later, another foot chase ensues by another Vampire/Werewolf pair, and they invariably reach the same area at the rear of the train, and just before they both crash out of that same last door, the glass on the door can be seen still intact. [The glass is still broken when the second pair arrive at the door.]
