Underworld (2003)

Corrected entry: After Michael has been shot with the liquid silver bullets, his shirt and the seat of his pants are stained with the silver residue. When Viktor throws him into the water and he turns over during the transformation the silver is gone from the front of his shirt. In the fight between them, the stain is also gone from his pants. (01:43:50)

Correction: I doubt it's a continuity error, I think a more likely explanation for this would be that the water has washed off the silver residue from his clothes, and that's why there is none on Michael after he has turned over in the water.

Underworld (2003)

Corrected entry: In the beginning when Selene chases the Lycan down the grate, she turns around and shoots him. Going frame by frame, you see that his squib (blood pack used to simulate being shot) goes off before she shoots. (00:08:35)

Donald Jenkins

Correction: Having to use frame by frame invalidates the mistake.

Underworld (2003)

Corrected entry: When Erika turns the power off at the mansion and goes to Selene, Erika throws Selene a pack with a gun and ammo. If you look at the slugs of the ammo, you can see that they are regular copper jacketed rounds. Even if they had silver slugs under the jackets, they wouldn't be very effective against the werewolves. (01:10:00)

Donald Jenkins

Correction: The film makes a point of explaining that the slugs are filled with silver nitrate, and once the lead or copper tip has mushroomed, the silver nitrate is released.

Corrected entry: Throughout the movie, people are in and out of the water, but when they are on deck their clothes are dry. The white shirts that they wear should become clingy and translucent when wet and don't dry very fast. An example of the way they look is when Will and Elizabeth return to the Interceptor. The other scenes in the movie where their shirts are free flowing are of dry shirts. (01:16:08)

Donald Jenkins

Correction: When Jack and Elizabeth are marooned on the island, their shirts are very visibly wet. When Will and Elizabeth return to the Interceptor, they had been out of the water for awhile, and their shirts had time to dry a little.
