• Revealing mistakes: 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.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Just after Viktor is resurrected we see a white car make a right turn. The street sign is in mirror writing showing that the image has been flipped.
  
  
• Continuity: In the security office that looks over Viktor's tomb, the Quickcam jumps from the top of one of the monitors to the desk between shots.
  
  

• Continuity: The men behind Kahn at the door to Viktor's chamber are all different men when they get into the chamber.
  
  
• Factual errors: Silver nitrate is a clear substance and looks nothing like the quicksilvery fluid seen in the movie, even in high concentrations (though it may turn black if stored for long periods).
  
  
• Continuity: Selene throws four throwing-stars at the Lycan "Raze" in the sewers, in the sequence where they are removed one shot is mirrored so that the last star jumps from left to right shoulder and then back again for the final ripout.
  
  
• Continuity: During the assault on the Lycan base, as Den Kahn and his men are cautiously clearing out a tunnel, Kahn is clearly holding his rifle with his right hand on the pistol grip and left hand on the fore-grip. When we see him peer down a dark tunnel, all close-ups of the rifle and tunnel show his hands being reversed with left hand on the pistol grip and right hand on the fore-grip.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Just before the werewolf with stars in him (thrown at him by Selene) gets them removed, he walks in holding someone's body over his shoulder. He is supposed to be naked because of the transformation, but you can see a small pair of black underwear.
  
  
• Continuity: The Beretta 93 series is chambered for the 9mm Parabellum and a double-stack magazine can hold 21 cartridges. In the hallway scene, Selene nearly empties both magazines. Yet, without obviously reloading or reasonable time to do so, Selene empties the equivalent of another magazine from each gun into the floor.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Michael's address shown on the computer is misspelled. It is Laktos Joszef 39 ut. instead of Lakatos József u. 39.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Kahn rolls the grenade down a shaft full of Lycans, the grenade bounces out of the puddle at the bottom. As it does this the explosion begins from within the puddle, underneath the still airborne grenade.
  
  
• Continuity: When Viktor pulls the pendant from his daughter, the cord which it hung on breaks nearly completely off leaving only about 1 or 2 inches on either side. When Lucian snatches it off the dusty floor before leaping through the window, the entire cord is intact, and still attached to the pendant.
  
  
• Continuity: Towards the end, Selene frees Michael from the examination table by shooting off the chains attached to the handcuffs that bind him to the table. In the next few shots, when Michael is yanking off the ropes that had been around his chest, the handcuffs themselves have disappeared from his wrists, including the chains.
  
  
• Continuity: When Lucian's scientist is mixing Michael's blood in the beaker to find out if it is pure, the amount of fluid in the beaker changes between shots.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: There is a shot where Selene picks up a camera that was on the floor. She is seen running with it in hand when she is running inside the subway. But then it is never seen again as she flips out through the rear window. We never see the camera again until back at the Mansion when she is reviewing the pictures taken. Where could anyone possibly conceal a camera of that size?
  
  
• Continuity: When Selene is awakening Viktor his Canines are fangs just like the rest of the vampires, but through the movie both his Lateral Incisors and his Canines are fangs instead.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Viktor throws Michael back for the last time before Michael gets shot by the vampires, you can see the bottoms of Scott Speedman's feet where they did not put the black paint makeup.
  
  
• Continuity: A bald man wearing a green jacket and carrying a blue backpack appears to board the subway train three times during the opening sequence. We see him in front of Michael standing next to the subway train doors; then we see him walking past Raze toward the train; and then a second later we see him walk past Raze toward the train exactly as before.
  
  
• Continuity: The shooting gallery scene: in close-ups of the statue targets, bullets are slamming into them at a high rate, as if from a machine gun. When the shot changes to show Selene, she is actually seen to be using a semi-automatic pistol, and firing at a much slower rate.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: At the beginning of the battle between Victor and Michael, Victor hurls Michael across the water and into a pillar. As soon as the camera changes to show Michael getting up you can clearly see the cord used to pull Michael across the room on the ground leading up to his back.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Micheal is thrown backwards into a pillar, while fighting Victor, the rest of the action is normal, while it appears to be that Micheal is moving in slow motion. Obvious to the fact that he is being dragged into the pillar, and not very hard.
  
  
• Continuity: In the ending sequence, when Selene picks up Sonja's necklace, Selene's eyes are brown when she looks around and at Michael; Selene's eyes are supposed to be icy blue.
  
  

• Plot holes: SPOILER: It is said that vampires and Lycans retain the memories from the blood of the one who bit them. This is even shown when Selene awakens Viktor and when Lucian injects Michael with his blood. If this is the case, then Selene would have already known that Viktor was responsible for the death of her family. He turned her into a vampire therefore she would have his memory of killing her family.
