Trivia
Rhona Mitra auditioned for the role of Selene in Underworld (2003) but lost it to Kate Beckinsale. For this film, when Mitra was thought of as an option, concerns were brought up that there was too much of a physical resemblance between the actresses. Those concerns were quickly dropped when it was mentioned that the very reason Viktor turned Selene into a vampire was due to her resemblance to Sonja. Therefore, the resemblance was not only justified but vital.

Goofs
(at around 18 mins) When Sonja is riding out to greet the human nobles and receives her "sharpened" sword from Lucian, you can see she doesn't know how to properly wear/carry the sword while on horseback and the sword actually falls out of its scabbard. There is a quick cell-change as this happens and the sword magically puts itself back in the scabbard and rights itself.

Quotes
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!

prequel

when I first found out that this was gonna be a prequel,, I didn't quite get how they were gonna do this,, but after watching the film,, I 'm glad that the producers, writers, and director did it the way that they did,, all in all superb acting from the cast.. great direction,, solid camera work,, great special effects,, had lot's of good battle scenes,, especially at the end,,, I like the idea of the story that explains how the Lycans got to rise to their power,, because at first they were the slaves. I'm a big fan of the 1st two movies,, and this one didn't disappoint,, cept save for the abscene of it's star Kate Beckinsale,, but otherwise a pretty decent movie.
