Trivia:
While filming this movie, Michael Sheen was asked by Ron Howard if he could record a quick moment of dialog for Frost/Nixon (2008). Sheen, covered in fake blood from the days filming, went to his trailer and recorded the dialog, he asked someone to take a picture of him doing it and sent it to Ron Howard, who had it framed and displayed. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Lucian calls the Lycans from the castle during the big battle scene, he is shown with a full moon behind his head, and it is very dark. Not long after, he is fighting with Viktor in the tunnel, and "threatens" him with the bright sunlight, which is shining through the ceiling, even though not much time has passed. moreQuotes:
Viktor: I wanted to believe your lies, but I knew it could not be true, not my own daughter. How could you?Sonja: Father... I love him.
Viktor: Baa... you have betrayed me! To be with an animal! I loved you more than anything!
[to his guards]
Viktor: She does not leave this room!

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans : In this prequel we get little of Romeo and Juliet and a dash of Spartacus. The vampires have bred themselves a race of Lycan slaves to guard them during the daylight hours, but when Lucian, the favored pet of Viktor the ruling vampire, falls in love with his daughter things go bad rather quickly. The CGI werewolves are leaps and bounds better than their previous incarnations in this series and the only CGI complaint I have is to the occasionally bad CGI blood spray. Rhona Mitra makes for a hot vampire, and Bill Nighy and Michael Sheen return to chew up some nice scenery. After watching the big battle one is forced to ask the question that pops up after watching any of the Underworlds movies, "How did the Lycans lose the war?" Seriously, the vampires in these films are as fragile as a 1978 Ford Pinto.
