The Underworld series is a set of Action Horror movies revolving around the conflicts of Werewolves and Vampires, complete with an Ancient Conspiracy, an intricate Backstory, plenty of Dark World imagery, great British actors chewing all the scenery in sight and lots of gratuitous gory action.The main plot revolves around the struggle between the Lycans (werewolves) and the vampires. After centuries of conflict, the vampires are able to gain the upper hand when Lucian, the leader of the Lycans, is seemingly killed.In the modern day, Lycans have been "hunted to near extinction", or so the Vampire nobles think, but in reality they are gathering in numbers and planning on wiping out the vampire leadership with a plot to create their own hybrid on the eve of the vampire elders switching power. This is where Michael comes in. He is, among the descendants of the Corvinus clan, the only one with the genetic makeup capable of letting him be turned into a vampire and a werewolf. Normal humans can only be turned into one or the other; trying to "mix" causes death. Selene, a vampire Death Dealer with a personal vendetta against all werewolves, notices the Lycan's botched kidnapping of Michael, and helps him escape capture. Along the way, they begin to fall in love, an issue that gets all the more complicated when he gets bitten and starts turning into a werewolf. Can their love survive their species' natural hatred?The series consists of five movies: Underworld (2003), directed by Len Wiseman. It introduces the basic setting, as well as the main characters: Selene and Michael, who are caught in the conflict between Viktor's vampire court and the rebellious Lycans led by Lucian. Underworld: Evolution (2006), directed by Len Wiseman. Picks up immediately where the first movie ended, with Selene and Michael on the run from Marcus, the father of all vampires. Luckily, they are helped by Marcus's immortal father, who is just as interested in stopping him as they are. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009), directed by Patrick Tatopoulos. Depicts the origin of the Lycan rebellion against their Vampire masters, sparked by the Star-Crossed Lovers Lucian and Sonja, Viktor's vampire daughter. As may be expected from a prequel, especially by viewers of the first film, it has a Downer Ending. Underworld: Awakening (2012), directed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein. It is set approximately 12 years after Evolution and revolves around Selene, fresh out of torpor, trying to find her and Michael's daughter in the midst of the extermination of both Vampires and Lycans at the hands of humanity. Underworld: Blood Wars (2016), directed by Anna Foerster. it is a direct sequel to Awakening and features Selene and David from that film taking on a new threat. Trent Garrett replaces Scott Speedman as Michael Corvin.Underworld: Blood Enemy (2004) is a non-canon novel (it contradicts several details in Evolution and Rise of the Lycans, which were made after it was written) that shows a different take on the origin of the Lycan rebellion. It then continues to the modern day where a vengeful Lycan named Leyba runs afoul of both Lucian and Selene.Underworld: Red in Tooth and Claw (2004) is a non-canon comic (it contradicts Rise of the Lycans) that shows a different take on how Raze became a Lycan and Lucian's right hand man.Underworld: Endless War (2011) is a three part animated film where Selene battles three Lycan brothers in 1890, 1967, and 2012.Not to be confused with Underworld (1927), The Underworld, that underworld, Ultima Underworld, the band Underworld, or a Metro-Specific Underworld, which it may loosely reference.

 Underworld (2003) / int_117b3429
comment
A Taste of the Lash: After capturing Lucian, Viktor subjects him to thirty lashes for betraying his trust, with even one lash being brutal enough to Lucian, and Viktor makes it clear that he wants Lucian to suffer even after the first twenty-one lashes, even forbidding Sonja, his own daughter, from intervening on pain of serious punishment. A Kick the Dog moment if there ever was one. Lucian later gets whipped again by Soren, with Sonja chained to a post and forced to watch before she is put to death via sunlight.

Abnormal Ammo
 Underworld (2003) / int_12c65d9b
comment
Abnormal Ammo: This feature receives a strange treatment in Blood Wars. The Lycans are shown to still have access to UV ammo, yet when actual combat breaks out, they never use anything but bog-standard bullets against the vampires. The only UV rounds we see in action in the whole movie are fired by a vampire of all things ( Varga uses them to slaughter at least two dozen aspiring Death Dealers and pin the blame on Selene) and later by Marius, which is ineffectual because David is immune to sunlight. In a later blink-and-you-miss-it moment during a Lock-and-Load Montage one can glimpse a Death Dealer who's about to fight Lycans load his gun with UV rounds for... reasons.

Marius has no qualms about using his own men as Lycan shields against vampire gunfire. This is incredibly callous considering Marius is immune to silver and can quickly heal from being shot, while his men are not immune to silver and die as a result.

Bloodless Carnage: While the movies don't shy away from gore, William's above-the-jaw decapitation has no blood spatter what-so-ever, just dry meat. This is particularly odd, due to behind-the-scenes interviews with the prop makers noting that they'd used blood pumps.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Underworld (2003) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Vampires were the oppressors of Lycans, who were their slaves in the past, and treated like animals. Love between the species was forbidden and the war was started when Viktor had his daughter put to death for getting pregnant with Lucian's baby, specifically to prevent 'contamination' of the blood. Writer Kevin Grevioux, who is Black, actually based the Star-Crossed Lovers storyline on his own experiences with interracial dating.

Exactly What I Aimed At: During his duel with Semira, David throws a knife at a shutter control to expose the room to sunlight. Semira, having drunk a considerable amount of Selene's blood, is now immune to sunlight, but she's so distracted by the sight that David is able to walk up behind her and stab her through the head.

Immortal Procreation Clause
 Underworld (2003) / int_1be36a63
comment
Immortal Procreation Clause: Thoroughly averted. Alexander Corvinus, the first immortal, sired three sons (two of whom inherited his immortality) after becoming immortal. Two of the three Elders had vampire children with other vampires (Viktor having Sonja with his wife, who died in childbirth, and Amelia having David with Thomas, a leader of the Western Coven; in the non-canon Blood Enemy, Marcus also had a vampire son, Nicolae, who was later killed by Lucian). Selene and Michael had a daughter, Eve. Lena, introduced in Blood Wars, is a pure-born. On the Lycan side, Lucian was born to an enslaved werewolf, though whether she was pregnant before being turned or impregnated afterward is unknown. Lucian later sired a child with Sonja, but the unborn hybrid died with her.

Poor Communication Kills

comment
Poor Communication Kills: Selene's overreliance on her blood memories to inform Viktor about Lucian being alive and Kraven's conspiracy with him nearly gets her judged. In retrospect, her just mentioning the pendant around Lucian's neck would have been all the proof she needed, but she had no way of knowing that at the time.

 Underworld (2003) / int_1f7c89f6
comment
Nigh-Invulnerability: Hybrids are TOUGH. Markus, original vampire, has a magazine emptied into his face (courtesy of Selene) and then crushed between a truck and a cliff-side. He shrugs it off. Selene is only able to kill him after impaling him through the head, with his own razor wing, and throwing him into helicopter blades. Word of God is that while the Helicopter Blender killed him, he would have recovered from the impaled head. Michael is impaled on a pipe, which does seem to kill; only for him to be Only Mostly Dead. Selene, a vampire immortal hybrid, might actually be indestructible. She survived falling through an elevator shaft while the Lycan who tackled her wasn't so fortunate, and she also survived having a grenade go off near her. She also managed to tackle a van with enough force to flip it a couple of times without any long-term damage. Not to mention Eve, the daughter of Selene and Michael, whom Selene flat-out states will grow to become even more powerful than she is.

Aborted Arc
 Underworld (2003) / int_23698fa8
comment
Aborted Arc: A big part of Awakening's story revolved around humanity's genocidal war of extinction against both vampires and werewolves. Come Blood Wars which appears to take place only a few years later, this conflict doesn't get more than the most fleeting mention. Humans merrily go about their daily business in blissful ignorance and the two supernatural species are back to waging their centuries-old war like they did in the first two movies, and with massive numbers to boot. It's possible that they believe the 'Infection' is over - they believed Lycans to be extinct during Awakening and the Vampires may have gotten smarter about keeping their activities hidden. Selene and David are also immune to sunlight and so can blend in very easily the humans.

Anachronism Stew: The animated shorts have Selene using semi-automatic handguns...in 1890. This isn't AS anachronistic as you may think. Many early semiautomatic pistols, such as the Borchard C93 or the Shonberger-Laumann 1892 began production in the 1890s, perhaps the vampires obtained early prototypes. Selene still has apparently infinite ammo though.

Anatomically Impossible Sex
 Underworld (2003) / int_2821d59c
comment
Anatomically Impossible Sex: Selene and Michael's infamously awkward sex scene. The way their bodies are positioned, Michael is basically making love to Selene's stomach, though they were sensible enough to photoshop out his penis. This scene is particularly awkward when you realize that Kate Beckinsale is married to the director, who obviously would have been watching the whole time. To quote Mrs. Beckinsale during an interview about this very scene: "...if they move, then it’s terribly embarrassing, but if it doesn’t move it’s terribly insulting and you think they’re gay. So he lashed it to his leg, tied it in three knots and... I think was in physical torment as well as everything else"

Beauty Equals Goodness: All the sympathetic characters are beautiful, and Lucian is more visually appealing to symbolise he's an Anti-Villain at worst. The least sympathetic characters are presented as unattractive - Singe is a creepy scientist who strings potential Corvinus descendants up for his blood experiments and reacts with glee at Amelia's murder, Kraven is a Dirty Coward who acts entitled to have Selene, manipulates Erika to do his bidding and hits Selene when Michael escapes, and Viktor is a depraved warlord who murdered Selene's family and tricked her into thinking it was the Lycans, as well as killing his own daughter for falling for one.

Mauve Shirt

comment
Surprisingly averted. Twice. For the same mook. To elaborate: Only one of the dozen Lycans Marius tasks with capturing Selene, Gregor, returns to deliver her message. Marius is understandably pissed at their failure, but instead of delivering the usual treatment, he merely manhandles the guy a bit before walking off. The same mook then gets a second chance to apprehend Selene, only to be forced to report that she was already gone when the Lycans arrived. Again, Marius lets him live. This valiant mook later charges David and gets swatted away like a fly, but it's quite likely he survived that, which might well put him into Mauve Shirt territory.

Awesome, but Impractical: Selene's automatic pistols. Apart from the required Bottomless Magazines, pistols are too underpowered to reliably stop mere people, inherently inaccurate even when shot one at a time and in Selene's case, don't even produce particularly good results with the in-universe issue of Lycans extracting or pushing out silver bullets. Notable despite Rule of Cool because EVERYONE else uses at least a heavy magnum pistol or submachine gun. The silver whips used by Soren. In the prequel, he whips Lucian, who can't fight back, and then when Raze - who can fight back, and is significantly larger - confronts him in the first movie... Yeah.

Cleanup Crew: Alexander Corvinus leads a group of men, appropriately called The Cleaners, who cover up the evidence of Lycans and Vampires. They are all killed by Marcus in Evolution, which is what probably led to humans learning of the existence of Lycans and Vampires in Awakening. The novelization explains that all of them come from special forces all over the world.

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: During the movie's climax, the Nordic Coven arrives to save the Eastern vampires from Marius's attack and all of them are wearing helmets and armor, except for Lena. Justified since it was used to demonstrate Lena has become a Daywalking Vampire after drinking Selene's blood, as the vampires were fighting during daytime and really needed protection.

Kick the Dog: Selene just learned that Michael, her lost lover and her daughter's father, was Killed Offscreen by Marius, who then used his blood to turn himself into a quasi-hybrid. Marius mockingly offers her the last phial of blood while quipping that that's everything that remains of Michael. She reaches out to take it, tears in her eyes, only for Marius to pull his hand back and down the phial in one gulp. Cue Heroic BSoD.

Once an Episode: Someone is going to have their head bisected, vertically, diagonally, or horizontally once per film. (In)famously in the first film, with Viktor's belated demise. In the anime Endless Wars, the second of the lycan brothers to Selene's sword Michael rips the top half of William's head off with his bare hands in Evolution Rise of the Lycans uses this twice with random werewolf mooks in the first and last battles. Eve splits an attacking Lycan's head in half vertically with her bare hands, in Awakening much like her father Michael. David gets in on the action in Blood Wars, taking up several notches by just cutting the poor guy in half.

comment
Boring, but Practical: In the 600 years she's had as a Death Dealer, Selene has learned a lot of brutal, efficient ways to deal with her enemies. She's not one for using flashy moves to deal with her enemies, and when she goes for the kill, She goes for the Overkill. She makes sure you're not going to get back up, much less intact to regenerate. She's the polar opposite of Michael in these regards, as Michael; having no previous combat training, fights in a very aggressive, very animalistic manner, with no solid, reliable technique. Of course, this works for him considering his speed and strength.

comment
Foregone Conclusion: If you watched the movies in production order, there's no way you didn't know how Rise of the Lycans was going to end. Watching them in chronological order, however, takes away the first movie's twist that Kraven didn't kill Lucian as Selene claimed in her Opening Monologue, and that in point of fact Lucian isn't actually the villain. Either way, you will be spoiled — though the chronological order can still work okay if you like internal reveals.

 Underworld (2003) / int_3c3f28a5
comment
Blessed with Suck: Of the two immortal species, vampires are by far the weaker. UV radiation is almost instantly deadly, most "normal" physical injuries are still dangerous and Lycan fighting usually results in very high casualties including an Elder and most of the senior Death Dealers in the first movie. Their only edge - and presumably the reason they ultimately won in the first place - is that the Lycan weakness to silver is much more easily weaponized. This edge gets significantly dulled when the lycans invent UV rounds for their guns.

Bad Boss: Marius has no qualms about using his own men as Lycan shields against vampire gunfire.

Semira also has a habit of treating Varga like a mixture of dumb muscle and sex slave despite him being neither. This bites her in the ass later on.

Dropped a Bridge on Him: Michael is shown to have been captured and bled to death by Marius, who then used the hybrid blood to turn himself into something similar. Selene doesn't take the revelation well.

Last-Second Villain Recovery
 Underworld (2003) / int_44106359
comment
Last-Second Villain Recovery: The film concludes with a battle between the vampire elder Viktor and werewolf/vampire hybrid Michael Corvin. At first, Michael looks like he has the old bastard on the ropes, dominating his opponent through raw strength and even pinning Viktor against a wall. Unfortunately, the elder hasn't lived this long without learning some serious fighting skills: one minute in, and Viktor begins turning the tide through the martial arts he's learned over the centuries, until he has Michael in a headlock and is ready to kill him. What finally ends Viktor is a sword to the head courtesy of Selene.

You Have Failed Me
 Underworld (2003) / int_474e3977
comment
You Have Failed Me: Surprisingly averted. Twice. For the same mook. To elaborate: Only one of the dozen Lycans Marius tasks with capturing Selene, Gregor, returns to deliver her message. Marius is understandably pissed at their failure, but instead of delivering the usual treatment, he merely manhandles the guy a bit before walking off. The same mook then gets a second chance to apprehend Selene, only to be forced to report that she was already gone when the Lycans arrived. Again, Marius lets him live. This valiant mook later charges David and gets swatted away like a fly, but it's quite likely he survived that, which might well put him into Mauve Shirt territory. Subverted between Semira and Alexia; Alexia actually does what is asked of her successfully but has been plotting against the Coven, and Semira kills her for it once her purpose is fulfilled, making this more a case of You Have Outlived Your Usefulness.

Hybridization Plot
 Underworld (2003) / int_49dc50a4
comment
Hybridization Plot: A major plot point in the franchise, considering the fact that hybrids there tend to run on Hybrid Power: In the original movie, the major reason why the Lycans want Michael is that being a direct descendant of the common ancestor between the Lycans and Vampires, he is the only person capable of becoming a Lycan-Vampire hybrid, which they intend to weaponize to kill off the vampire leadership. In Evolution, Marcus wanted to turn his werewolf brother William into a hybrid in an attempt to restore his humanity, with plans as well to create a new race of hybrids to rule over alongside his brother, although he is killed before he could do so.

comment
Combat Pragmatist: During the climactic battle, the lycans use a heavy grenade launcher to blast open the vampire fortress' shuttered windows and let the sunlight in. That alone qualifies for this trope, but the individual werewolves take it even further by using their superior strength to grab vampires and force them into the deadly beams instead of wasting any more time or ammo on them.

Shapeshifter Longevity
 Underworld (2003) / int_4a1f2a4e
comment
Shapeshifter Longevity: Lycans are just as immortal as Vampires since both are the result of mutant viruses infecting members of the Corvinus clan; in fact, this longevity is probably the reason why they were chosen as Viktor's daywalking Slave Race rather than humans. For good measure, Selene notes in the intro that the war between the two species has become even more dangerous in recent years is because older lycans are no longer affected by the full moon and can now transform at will.

Single Line of Descent: Subverted, at least partly. Alexander Corvinus, the originator of the virus, had one human son, who did (in fact) produce plenty of modern-day progeny if the wall of Xed-out photos is any indication. But the only one of those people still carries his special genes and happens to also share his last name. Lineage Comes from the Father does seem to ring true, however, as the surnames shown are all variants of "Corvinus", suggesting the Lycans didn't bother tracking the bloodline through any of Alexander's female descendants.

Primal Polymorphs
 Underworld (2003) / int_4fceaf4d
comment
Primal Polymorphs: Downplayed in the case of the Lycans; they're definitely Working-Class Werewolves, occasionally growl in anger, and aren't above the occasional fight for entertainment - prompting Lucian to yell at his underlings for acting like "a pack of rabid dogs" - but otherwise remain largely non-animalistic. They even have a Mad Scientist in their ranks. Most of their true sophistication is ignored by their vampire enemies, who believe that the Lycans aren't smart enough to have developed their own UV bullets and assume that the only reason why Lycans would stalk a human would be for food. By contrast, the original Lycan strain (born from William Corvinus) are little more than animals, rendered entirely feral by the virus that created them, transforming only once before spending the rest of their lives as rampaging monsters.

Invincible Hero: Whether you agree that Selene is the 'hero' in the early parts of the series once you find out she's been doing everything based on disinformation Viktor gave her, she fits the 'invincible character' trope very well, as she rarely takes damage of any kind compared to other characters in the franchise, including Michael, who became superfluous as a character seemingly the very minute after Selene kills Viktor. To the point that he doesn't even appear in the fourth film except in flashback being apparently killed, and then found to be frozen in ice. Selene is pretty much unstoppable to begin with, but then she got upgraded to the point that the concern over a Hybrid might as well have been equivalent to being scared of the boogeyman being in your closet when there's an actual armed serial killer loose in your neighborhood.

The Dragon: Varga to Semira.

He then actually remains loyal to David for the rest of the movie and even manages to survive the final battle despite several close calls.

Daywalking Vampire: What Semira plans to become when she discovers that Selene and David are immune to sunlight. During the near end of the film, she drinks Selene's blood that she had drained from her during Selene's temporary imprisonment, and when she battles David, one of the protective screens on the compound's windows opens and she is bathed in sunlight without any harm. However, she doesn't get to live long enough to enjoy her newfound immunity, as she becomes too distracted in her amazement that David runs his sword through the back of her head. Lena also becomes one when she drinks Selene's blood after reviving her. Somehow, the Nordic Coven are able to walk about during the day with naught but a full coat of armour to protect them, when earlier installments have shown such garb to ineffective protection against the sun's rays.

Super-Speed: If Vampires have one thing that puts them above their Lycan cousins, it's their physical speed. While Lycans are fast, compared to Vampires, they're nowhere near as fleet of foot. In their Human forms, the Lycans are pretty damn quick, but still marginally slower than Vampires. Selene managed to display her Super-Speed abilities by dodging gunfire and quickly reappearing and overpowering her attacker, and she managed to show this off again, in Awakening; by dodging gunfire and slicing the throats of the Antigen Lycan Guards firing at her.

Fantastic Racism: In Underworld and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, the two races of immortals, vampire and werewolf spend entire centuries killing each other over a grudge. The vampires are more typically racist, calling the Lycans (werewolves) animals and vermin and generally hunting them to the brink of extinction. In the feudal era, the vampires kept the Lycans as slaves and pets to guard them during daylight hours. The lead vampire killed his own daughter because she fell in love with a werewolf and carried his child.

Of course, backstabbing ensues.

Plot Hole: The franchise does its best to close these up but they're there if one looks hard enough: William was captured in 1202 A.D. It was nearly 200 years later when his prison was completed and the only person credited with building it was Selene's father; just how did Viktor keep William contained for the better part of two centuries? Markus intended to wipe out all Vampires and Lycans, starting over with William as a super race of hybrids. He has time to bite William and start the transformation but just doesn't.

Replacement Goldfish: Kraven, probably accurately, believes that Viktor only turned Selene because she reminded him of his dead vampire daughter. Which becomes really awkward when its revealed Viktor killed his daughter, and Selene's family. Rise of the Lycans would amplify this by casting a different actress to play Sonja who more specifically resembles Kate Beckinsale.

Hybrid Monster
 Underworld (2003) / int_6700b479
comment
Hybrid Monster: Michael Corvin becomes one, specifically the first Half-vampire-half-Lycan. Later, Marcus also becomes one. There's also Subject 2, the daughter of Michael Corvin and Selene. Lucian and Sonja's child would have been a straight Vampire-Lycan hybrid if it had lived. Michael started out as a Lycan with the dormant Corvinus gene who had the vampire DNA added later. Marcus was the other way around. Subject 2, on the other hand, was born from Michael's already-existent hybrid DNA mixing with Selene's vampire DNA which had already mixed with pure immortal DNA from Alexander Corvinus. These different combinations and scenarios could explain the different appearances of the hybrids.

Girliness Upgrade: Selene in the first few films was rather unconcerned with her appearance, with Boyish Short Hair that was also messy. For the fifth film, her hair is now slightly longer and styled more femininely, especially once she returns from the Northern Order.

Bullying the Dragon: Viktor essentially created his kind's worst enemy by treating the Lycans in general and Lucian in particular like dirt until they couldn't take it anymore, the final straw being Viktor having his own daughter killed via sunlight and forcing Lucian, her lover, to watch the whole thing.

comment
Meaningful Name: Viktor is surprised when putting someone named Kraven in charge of his household doesn't turn out so well. Selene, which means "moon". It would seem unusual on the initial watch of the first film since she hates the Lycans, but a rewatch provides foreshadowing that she will betray her Coven for the love of one. Viktor likes to win, obviously. Lucian, meaning "light". fitting for a daylight guard

comment
Secret War: The Vampires and Lycans have been waging one against each other for centuries, unbeknownst to mankind at large save for the occasional rumor or legend. This is thanks to the Cleaners, human spec-ops hand-picked by Alexander Corvinus to make sure that said war is never exposed to the public. The Cleaners are wiped out in Evolution, soon making it nigh impossible to keep the Secret War hidden.

Alleged Lookalikes: It's said that Selene reminded Viktor so much of his daughter Sonja that he had to make her the Replacement Goldfish. When we see Sonja in a flashback, she's blonde and looks nothing like Selene. Rise of the Lycans would correct this, by casting Rhona Mitra, who is known for her resemblance to Kate Beckinsale.

No Ontological Inertia: As the first Vampire, Marcus managed to convince the other Vampires that killing him would destroy all of them, and killing his brother William (the first Lycan) would destroy all Lycans - thus depriving them of their slaves. When Selene hears about this a thousand years or so later, she immediately sees it for the lie it is, but the one telling it to her notes that Viktor believed it enough to not risk it. By the time killing William would have been a viable way to take care of the Lycans, Viktor no longer had the key to his prison, so he had no way of testing the theory.

They even mention bribing witnesses to keep their mouths shut. The fact that Marcus kills all of them is probably what led to the Broken Masquerade.

Slobs Versus Snobs
 Underworld (2003) / int_76db0ef5
comment
Slobs Versus Snobs: Werewolves are the Slobs, living in a derelict industrial complex, wearing earth tones, long hair, Perma-Stubble, and generally being gritty/dirty. Vampires are all pale, wear almost exclusively blacks and reds, are immaculately groomed, beautiful, and live in a decadent Victorian manor... while being arrogant jerkasses. Regular humanity is shown to be generally somewhere in between, though closer to the Lycans in terms of their conventional, everyman aesthetic. Coincidentally, this also explains how the Lycans were able to embed themselves with some relatively ease into human society in Awakening.

Hybrid Power
 Underworld (2003) / int_7e8a9164
comment
Hybrid Power: The overarching story arc of the series is pretty much driven by this trope, though only the fourth movie features a child inheriting both parents' powers—other hybridization instances are carried out via vampiric blood absorption/transmission. To boot: Michael Corvin becomes a werewolf-vampire hybrid by getting subsequently bitten by Lucian, a werewolf, and Selene, a vampire. Selene becomes a vampire-Immortal hybrid (among other things, rendering her immune to sunlight) by drinking Alexander Corvinus's blood in the second movie. The fourth movie reveals that Selene's and Michael's daughter inherited both her dad's werewolf strength and her mom's vampiric abilities. Since most of Selene's pregnancy occurred after she became an immortal, it is likely that Eve inherited immortality, as well, making her a triple hybrid.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?
 Underworld (2003) / int_8504b817
comment
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: The city that the films are set in not only doesn't conform to any one location but the continent that it's on can't even be conclusively determined. Characters speak with a mix of American, British, and European accents, while the city contains a mix of North American and European characteristics in the vehicles (Mercedes police cruisers alongside large Ford sedans) and architecture. The first movie shows German and Hungarian words in Michael's address, the second movie has Hungarian-speaking cops going after Michael (when he tried to eat normal food) as well as several extras speaking French, and the fourth movie seems to be set up in either a Future American City or an Airstrip One Expy. Notice that in all movies, vehicle license plates resemble those used in European Union countries sans the country indicator. The novels try to claim that everything takes place in Budapest and the surrounding area, but this is contradicted the the presence of large bodies of water in Evolution and Awakening. The Russian truck driver in Evolution was driving home after making a delivery. The fifth film gives some context by having its third act explicitly set in Scandinavia, but otherwise does little to clarify the series's central location. Looking at the filming locations only muddles things up even more. To note, the first film was shot in Budapest, the second and fourth films in Vancouver, the third film in New Zealand, and the fifth film in Prague.

What Happened to the Mouse?: A retro-active example: Kraven was obviously "cleaning up Viktor's messes" during the time of Rise of the Lycans, which takes place literally months before Selene's family is murdered, yet he doesn't appear or even get mentioned at all. Heck, even Soren, who has one of the least prominent roles in the series, appears briefly in the prequel. Apparently Shane Brolly was set to return to play the part of Kraven in the original screenplay. For one reason or another, he was replaced by Tanis.

Upon discovering he had his own daughter executed for carrying a Lycan's child, not to mention slaughtering her family and convincing her the Lycans did so - she realises he's brainwashed her into becoming a killer who continues the oppression he was responsible for.

Black-and-Gray Morality: The whole Vampire/Werewolf conflict is more grey and gray or black and black. Rise of The Lycans and Evolution are the only films where the protagonists can be argued to be the more heroic participants in the conflict, rather than the guys with the correct viewpoint.

Partial Transformation
 Underworld (2003) / int_88fa3225
comment
Partial Transformation: Lucian can give himself fangs to bite someone without fully transforming. Even more practically, the beefed-up lycan in Awakening can transform his hand to acquire sharp claws. Michael also did the same as well, and Marcus liked using his wings to stab people and pin them in place. Selene used her glowing blue eyes to intimidate a truck driver into leaving his truck.

comment
Every Helicopter Is a Huey: Very nearly averted - the helicopter shown in long-shots is a modified SA 360 Dauphin that just happens to sound like a Huey. Unfortunately, sometime between the helicopter landing and The Squad piling out the back, it's turned into a Huey anyway. In an apparent compromise, the prop used after it inevitably crashes and turns into a Helicopter Blender looks like some unholy fusion between the two.

Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: In a stark contrast to the Eastern Coven (who at best depicted as detached and cold and at worst, the epitome of Aristocrats Are Evil), the Nordic Coven is much more friendly. They hide far away from civilization and therefore aren't a threat to mankind, and are actually regarded as "weak" by Semira for their pacifistic ways. When Selene and David arrive seeking sanctuary, they provide a warm welcome and support to the duo.

Villains Blend in Better: Although hybridized Marcus couldn't physically blend in anywhere whatsoever, he manages to adapt to his altered body within seconds of waking up, and needs no more than a few slurps from Kraven and his thugs to go from, at best, 19th-century lifestyles to using a computer in perhaps an hour's time. Contrast this with Michael, who couldn't even get through his first night as a hybrid without completely fucking up.

Immune to Bullets
 Underworld (2003) / int_99db72ee
comment
Immune to Bullets: Not exactly, but they don't seem to be very effective. Older werewolves can just push them out of their flesh (or skull, in Lucian's case), and vampires seem able to survive all sorts of impalements. In the second film, Selene takes a shotgun blast to the torso without visible injury, and Marcus survives five or six such shots in a row and is only slowed down with minor bleeding. Silver bullets do kill Lycans, but they can heal from them. The silver nitrate liquid rounds kill them very quickly; and the UV bullets are similarly effective against vampires. Marcus can shrug them off because he's that tough, and Selene's corset may be bulletproof.The novelizations make mention that even though bullets don't do much harm to Vampires and Lycans under normal circumstances, a lot of bullets will harm and kill them. William would more than likely have died from continuous fire delivered from the machinegun mounted on the Cleaners' helicopter, even with his regenerative abilities and size. As tough as they are and even with their regenerative abilities, they're not impervious to sustained gunfire from either small arms or larger. With this information in mind, it's no wonder humanity was able to nearly drive them to extinction in Awakening.

Crippling Overspecialization
 Underworld (2003) / int_9aaf8eca
comment
Crippling Overspecialization: The vampires never field anything heavier than assault rifles loaded with ammunition that's quite effective against soft targets (like transformed werewolves) but possesses abysmal penetrative power. This bites them in the ass when Marius' werewolf alliance assaults the Eastern Order's compound. All it needs is a bunch of guys carrying large bulletproof riot shields to No-Sell everything the defending vampires throw at them. It's so bad that the vampires get curbstomped despite holding the high ground and the werewolves being forced to attack through a tight bottleneck. A single grenade lobbed into their tightly clustered ranks could've stopped the assault dead, but well...

Greater-Scope Villain: While the Big Bad of Evolution, Marcus Corvinus is this for the series as a whole as he's the first vampire and the one who sired all the rest. Viktor is this to any film which involves the war between vampires and Lycans (including Awakening), as he's the one responsible for setting it off. Blood Wars also features a vampire looking to avenge him as one of the players in its Big Bad Ensemble.

Our Vampires Are Different
 Underworld (2003) / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: The Vampires are stereotypically pale, blood-drinking, almost completely immortal, and highly athletic, and their assassins/soldiers use plenty of Gun Fu, but the entire condition is supposedly just the result of a mutant virus. They're also not undead and do not require special things to kill them. For example, sunlight will cause them to burst into flame. However, a stake through the heart is unnecessary; sufficient bullet wounds and similar gore will kill them. They do breathe, but it looks like they've got a substantially increased lung capacity since Selene was able to hold her breath underwater during their infiltration of William's prison. She was also resuscitated by Michael, during the first movie, and she was shown out of breath. Vampires are also able to reproduce. Similar to Blade, those born of vampire parents are called "purebloods".

Feminist Fantasy: The protagonist is an Action Girl in the traditionally male role of the Byronic Hero and is a One-Woman Army whenever she gets into a fight, while the male lead is in the traditionally female role of the Damsel in Distress. The story is about Selene realising the prison she's been in for most of her life and rebelling to become more independent, rejecting a man who feels Entitled to Have You and defying her father figure to choose the man she loves. The war is likewise revealed to have been started over injustice at how an innocent woman was punished for an affair.

 Underworld (2003) / int_a8c6a317
comment
Super-Strength: The vampiric Death Dealers routinely display incredible levels of strength, whether it's hitting people with enough force to disable them and throw them like rag dolls, to lifting people up by their necks and leaping all over the place and surviving incredible drops, due to being Made of Iron. Compared to their monstrously strong Lycan cousins, the Death Dealers and most Vampires seem weaker by comparison. Elders and Hybrids have been shown to have incredible levels of strength above that. Markus was able to pull a goddamn helicopter out of the sky with a small amount of effort, Michael was able to rip off William's head as if it was attached with tape, and Viktor was able to go toe to toe with Michael, only surpassing him due to experience and tenacity. Selene herself got into the action, killing two random Vampires with blows to the head (and into a wall with one of them), being able to go toe to toe with Markus and winning (due to being infused with blood from Alexander Corvinus) and tackling a moving van like a linebacker. Subject 2/Eve, who's able to rip a Lycan's head apart with her bare hands, all after having gone who knows how long without feeding properly and suffering a gaping wound in her throat, courtesy of the Lycan.

No-Sell: The aforementioned "useless bullets versus riot shields" battle. A bit later, David and Marius blast away at each other with automatic handguns, emptying entire clips into their opponent's body and head at point-blank range. They don't even flinch under the dozens of impacts. Selene and David are completely immune to sunlight, a fact that shocks both vampires and lycans when they witness it for the first time.

Working-Class Werewolves: Lycans were once slaves to the Vampires, living in squalor and wearing rags. After their rebellion, their conditions improved slightly, but they still seem to be stuck living in abandoned buildings or even sewers and have far fewer resources than the vampires, who tend to live in mansions and throw swanky parties. A notable aversion is Underworld: Awakening, where it's revealed that Lycans control Antigen, a wealthy pharmaceutical company.

Bottomless Magazines: Zig-zagged. Selene's automatic pistols must just be magical, usually roaring with one continuous noise as they spew bullets like water out of a hose. Her infamous Bullet Hole Trap Door is only one example. However, her guns will run out and force her to reload or fight hand-to-hand if it's expedient to the plot.

comment
Humans Are Warriors: Almost as soon as humanity at large discovers the existence of vampires and werewolves, they drive both to the brink of extinction. Selene basically spells out that Vampires/Lycans have the options of 'run or die.' Standing and fighting doesn't work because modern humanity has been practically begging for such a foe to unite against. Even the werewolves had to successfully infiltrate humanity and become the ones in charge of the testing, providing negative results for any Lycan 'discovery' to have themselves declared extinct, rather than continue to stand and fight.

Informed Attribute: Due to his nature as a Hybrid, Michael is supposed to be more powerful than Vampire or Lycan regardless of age. While he does get in a minute of smacking Viktor around, he ultimately ends up being nearly killed by him, requiring Selene to save him. He becomes little more than a minion to Selene in Evolutions, and does virtually nothing of note against Markus. He becomes completely irrelevant in the fourth film and is apparently nowhere to be seen whatsoever in the fifth, rendering the Hybrid a completely pointless piece of the lore. Selene quickly overshadows him to the point he's written entirely out of the series.

It Can Think: The first generation Werewolves, unlike the second generation Lycans, are unable to return to human form. Most consider them mindless, feral beasts, but they begin to bide their time, set up ambushes, and even set up crude booby traps like digging pits in the road to trap carriages. After Lucian makes contact with them, he finds they are able to understand orders and work with the Lycans whether or not they are in human form.

Messianic Archetype: Selene is a rather twisted example, as she is viewed as a traitor by fellow Vampires after the first movie. Come Awakening, however, she comes back from being effectively dead, walks in the sunlight, rallies the younger vampires, and goes around resurrecting their dead. Gets eventually exaggerated in Blood Wars.

Markus, original vampire, has a magazine emptied into his face (courtesy of Selene) and then crushed between a truck and a cliff-side. He shrugs it off. Selene is only able to kill him after impaling him through the head, with his own razor wing, and throwing him into helicopter blades. Word of God is that while the Helicopter Blender killed him, he would have recovered from the impaled head. Michael is impaled on a pipe, which does seem to kill; only for him to be Only Mostly Dead.

"Eureka!" Moment: Lucian has an understated one when he sees the connection between Selene and Michael, probably reminding himself of what he once had with Sonja. He then encourages Selene to bite him, thus fulfilling his plan to create a vampire-lycan hybrid.

 Underworld (2003) / int_d41832cc
comment
Written by the Winners: Viktor rewrote vampire history to appear as if he was the original vampire, when, in fact, it was another Elder, Markus. While he is quite willing to acknowledge the legend that Vampires and Werewolves came from the brother Corvinus ("One bit by a bat, the other bit by a wolf"), he makes fun of it, probably to diminish the connection between Lycans and Vampires. On the other hand, he's quite willing to rewrite his murder of Selene's entire family. Selene shows signs of being aware of this. She recognizes that Kraven is not enough of a warrior to have actually killed Lucian but is the only survivor who could claim that he did. She also initially comments that the Lycans started the war but then admits that that is what is said anyway. By the second film, she's (accurately) assumed virtually everything Viktor has said is a lie. This is also true for most of the Selene arc as a whole. There are villains and sympathetic characters among both Vampires and Lycans, but since the main protagonist Selene is a Vampire and the entire story is told (and actually narrated) from her perspective, the vampires invariably get off better than the werewolves. It's especially prevalent in Awakening and Blood Wars, both of which feature lycans as the main villains.

comment
A Taste of Their Own Medicine: the vampires have been trying to hunt the lycans to extinction for hundreds of years by the time of "Underworld". When the humans finally became aware of the existence of the two races, they went of massive purges to get of both species, with the vampires now becoming the prey to humanity's predator, as they did to the lycans. Being so used to high life in mansions and wealth, they were completely unprepared for tsunami of death squad hunters when they were exposed while the lycans were able to thrive from the human purges, ironically pretrained by centuries of merciless persecution from the vampires

Continuity Snarl: Tannis explains that Viktor didn't kill William out fear of losing his Lycan slaves. But Rise of the Lycans establishes that the vampires didn't start using Lycans as slaves/daylight guardians until after Lucian was born. Viktor even outright states that Lucian is the first of the Lycans. Although, the fact that he kept the werewolf that became Lucian's mother in captivity may suggest that he was tying to keep them on chains like guard dogs, as Tannis did in "Evolution" Viktor also lies when it's convenient for him and effortlessly. He obviously thought History is Written by the Winners, meaning him. He never thought Selene would go looking for the actual truth instead of just accepting his version of events. The execution scene of Viktor's daughter seen in flashback in the first Underworld film is very different from what we see in Rise of the Lycans. The former was a public execution in an arena, but the latter has just the two of them alone in a room.

Your Head A-Splode: Selene explodes a Lycan's head above the jaw after wrestling one to the ground and emptying her gun into his face. Kraven meets his end with Markus this way. When William gets his head wrenched apart at the jaws by Michael, the result is basically the same as if it had been asploded. What Subject 2 does to the Lycan assaulting her in the van at the beginning of Awakening fits the bill as well.

Mama Bear: Selene now has a daughter Eve. Selene first meets her daughter when she is awakened by Eve when she damages her cryogenic chamber having been frozen in it for 12 years, carrying Eve to full term while sedated. Though at first Selene seems cold towards her daughter, when Eve's life is threatened by the Lycans/other vampires this mom will go to any length to protect her daughter. Selene is the ultimate mom fighting Lyacans, protecting her daughter, all while trying to figure out Michael's whereabouts. Michael is held in the same Cryogenic lab as Selene and their daughter Eve. Punch Selene, she will think nothing of it; touch Eve and it's your funeral.

I Hate You, Vampire Dad: Played with with Viktor and Marcus, but it has nothing to do with Viktor hating being a vampire. On the contrary, Marcus's bite saved his life, and now Viktor wants all the power of the coven for himself. He even rewrote the vampire history to make himself appear the progenitor and forbade anyone from trying to find the truth. Marcus's hate for his own immortal father has to do with Alexander refusing to accept his sons as they are. Nobody seems to hate being an immortal despite the drawbacks.

Calling the Old Man Out: Eve to Selene, lamenting how she dreamed of this day, only to be met by a cold and distant mother. Selene defends herself by pointing out she just spent 12 years cryogenically frozen, woke up to a world she doesn't know, the only man she loved is gone, and she just discovered a daughter she didn't know she had. She insists her heart isn't cold, it's broken.

Vampire Procreation Limit: Vampirism is transferred virally via a bite, though Selene states that most humans who get bitten just die instead because their bodies can't handle the mutation; anyone who wants to become a vampire is taking a gamble.

Monster Progenitor: William Corvinus is the Progenitor of all Lycans. Marcus Corvinus, his brother, is the progenitor of all Vampires. Unlike other Lycans, William cannot change back to a human. Marcus, unlike other vampires, is capable of changing form to that of a vampire with bat wings, giving him flight; but only after he becomes a hybrid. The strain of Lycans that retain their sentience and are capable of shifting at will appear to all be 'descended' from Lucian.

Good Shapeshifting, Evil Shapeshifting
 Underworld (2003) / int_f4bda58e
comment
Good Shapeshifting, Evil Shapeshifting: Michael Corvin appears mostly human and even handsome when transformed into his hybrid form, his most inhuman features being grey-blue skin, jet-black eyes, fangs, and claws. Marcus Corvinus, the Big Bad and Monster Progenitor of vampires, exhibits claw-tipped wings and a more monstrous face reminiscent of a bat when he transforms into his newly acquired hybrid form. The modern breed of Lycan is contrasted by William Corvinus, their Monster Progenitor. He lacks most of the beneficial mutations developed by later strains, being much bigger, hairier, and more animalistic than modern Lycans; for good measure, he lacks the ability to return to his human form. And the same goes for anyone he infects, hence why the vampires had him imprisoned in the first place.

You Sexy Beast: Vampires are sleek and seductive, dressing in stylish Gothic fashions. Werewolves are brawny, rough-and-tumble men in leather. They have sex. Downplayed with Michael, who's a human-turned-Vampire/Lycan hybrid.

Vampiric Werewolf
 Underworld (2003) / int_f81084e9
comment
Vampiric Werewolf: The Hybrids in the series are created from a combination of Vampire strain and Lycan strain viruses due to sharing their unique heritage from the original immortal. Michael Corvin is the first one seen in the series after being bitten by a Lycan and a Vampire on two separate occasions. Markus Corvinus, the second movie's Big Bad, becomes a Hybrid after unwittingly ingesting Lycan's blood, though he looks more like a Chiroptean monster rather than anything vaguely resembling a Wolf. Eve, Michael's and Selene's daughter who's born a Hybrid. Their appearance seems to depend on what order they were turned in. Michael was bitten by a Lycan first and then a Vampire, and he looks like a wolf-man, although more man-like than the Lycans. Marcus was a Vampire first and then ingested Lycan blood, and he became a winged bat-monster, capable of shape-shifting into a human form. Eve, who was born hybrid, looks even more human than her father Michael, as her Vampire and Immortal heritage (both races had human features) seems to take priority in her physical appearance over her Lycan's.

Our Werewolves Are Different
 Underworld (2003) / int_f8b3fa5d
comment
Downplayed in the case of the Lycans; they're definitely Working-Class Werewolves, occasionally growl in anger, and aren't above the occasional fight for entertainment - prompting Lucian to yell at his underlings for acting like "a pack of rabid dogs" - but otherwise remain largely non-animalistic. They even have a Mad Scientist in their ranks. Most of their true sophistication is ignored by their vampire enemies, who believe that the Lycans aren't smart enough to have developed their own UV bullets and assume that the only reason why Lycans would stalk a human would be for food.

This Is a Drill: Right in the movie's Action Prologue, David gets shot with a tracking device that is shaped like an oversized drill, has an actual rotating tip, and continues to burrow deeper into his body even while Selene is attempting to remove it.

comment
Monogender Monsters: Going by the movies, there was exactly one female Lycan, Lucian's mother, who was infected while pregnant.note However in a Freeze-Frame Bonus when the hideout of Lucian's pack is first shown at least one of the Lycans hanging around the entrance appears to be a woman. Though presumably the virus is just as contagious to both genders, the use of this trope was justified as the vampires wanting only male Lycan slaves. There are a few distinct mentions of female Lycans within the novels of the movies. This is averted in Blood Wars, which shows a couple of females among the Lycans and fighting side by side with them, but they have no lines or real character.

Weakened by the Light: Several Vampires (including one very prominent heroine) meet their maker via this trope throughout the series, especially after the Lycans learned to develop artificial UV light as ammunition.

Forever War: The Lycans and Vampires have been at war for over eight hundred years by the time of "Underworld". it's even occasionally referred to as the 'Eternal War'. The Vampire-Werewolf war two hundred years prior to that also kind of counts as it waged on for six hundred years between the Vampires and the first generation of Werewolves, only ending when William Corvinus, the original and most powerful werewolf, was finally captured.
