    • Trivia
      Days before its U.S. opening, the president of Screen Gems greenlit not only a sequel to the movie Underworld but also a prequel after seeing the number of tickets sold in Canada alone.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 40 mins) When Viktor pushes Michael through the wall, as he lands in the water you can see several large pieces of the broken wall floating on the water behind him, showing them to be polystyrene.
    • Quotes

      Lucian: We were slaves once. The daylight guardians of the vampires. I was born into servitude. Yet I harbored them no ill will. Even took a vampire for my bride. It was forbidden, our union. Viktor feared a blending of the species. Feared it so much he killed her. His own daughter. Burnt alive for loving me. This is his war. Viktor's. And he spent the last 600 years exterminating my species.

    • Crazy credits
      The Lakeshore Entertainment logo is shaded blood red.
    • Alternate versions
      In the original release of the movie, Jázmin Dammak played the part of Sonja, Viktor's daughter, in the flashback scenes, however after the release of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009), a version is available (most notably on U.S. Netflix) where scenes with Rhona Mitra were inserted in place of the original scenes.

    Fantastic film about facing between vampires and werewolves
    The movie deals with vampires and werewolves , each other taking on , vampires led by Kate Beckinsale and wolves ruled by Michael Sheen . There is a third starring Scott Speedman, a human whose blood has a terrible secret .

    Both groups ,vampires and wolves will confront to obtain their purposes , the fighting will be to death.

    The film blends horror ,suspense, struggles , rip-roaring action, thrills, and a little bit of gore and guts.

    Set design is of first class , settings are stylized , Gothic buildings, shading slums , all of them originate a spooky and ghoulish atmosphere.

    Specials effects are breathtaking , part is made by means of computer generator and part by make-up.

    Cinematography is glimmer likeness to stirring soundtrack however has too much rock music and little symphonic music.

    Kate Beckinsale is wonderful , she is a true action warrior women, Scott Speedman is nice but is shaded for her.

    The flick will appeal to emotion buffs and spooky action lovers.

    Rating: 7/10 , good . Well worth seeing.
