Continuity mistake: The scene in which Sonja is executed in front of Lucian is incredibly different from when the same scene was portrayed in the original movie as a flashback. Obviously they had to reshoot it to account for the new actress portraying Sonja, but not only is the basic setting visibly different, but important details of the scenes have been altered as well. Ex. In the flashback scene in "Underworld", there's a giant crowd of slaves in a cage behind Lucian, and Sonja screams and slowly burns up. In this film, the crowd of slaves is not there, and Sonja instantly burns up without screaming - in fact, she's rather calm and trying to calm down Lucian. You can't argue that Lucian's memory of the events have changed over time, as the "Underworld" movies have made it clear that immortals have impeccable and essentially perfect memory (more-or-less genetic memory) that can even be absorbed if their blood is consumed by vampires.
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Patrick Tatopoulos
Starring: Bill Nighy, Michael Sheen, Rhona Mitra, Steven Mackintosh
Sonja (Rhona Mitra) is killed and Lucian (Michael Sheen) is forced to watch. The lycans and werewolves storm the castle and triumph over the vampires and are no longer slaves. Lucian tells his fellow wolves that this is merely the beginning and that the conflict is far from over. Viktor (Bill Nighy) survives the fight against Lucian and enters a hibernation chamber. The last scene is the first scene from the first Underworld film: Selene (Kate Beckinsale) looking below at the city streets. Dialogue from the first film is heard: when Kraven tells Selene that Viktor killed her family and not the lycans; and that Viktor spared her life because she reminded him of his daughter Sonja. Selene replies: "Lies!"

Lucian: I've lived by their rules my entire life. I've protected them. Envied them. And for what? To be treated like an animal. We are not animals! Is this want you want? We can be slaves, or we can be... LYCANS!
Question: Lucian ended up with the pendant. How did Selene's father get it and give it to Selene while William's prison was being built? How did Lucian get it back so that he had it in Underworld 1 when he bit Michael? (04:00:00)

Answer: Sonja's pendant was part of the key to William's prison, which Selene's father was involved in building, and was why she had seen it as a child during the construction. Viktor later killed everyone who built the prison and took the pendant. In the next movie, Rise of the Lycans, Lucian steals the pendant from Viktor, and has it until he is killed by Kraven, and Selene retrieves it.
