=== Subjective tropes for the [[Ultraviolet (film)|film]]: ===
 
* [[Anvilicious]]: The awfulness in the systematic discrimination and rounding up of the hemophages is hammered on in one particular scene where a family of hemophages is seen dressed up as Hasidic Jews, complete with biohazard patches.
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: The Blood Chinois. They are a random Asian gang that randomly appear in the movie, have no apparent motive and backstory besides "You're in our territory", set up a ridiculous action scene, and are never mentioned again.
* [[Fight Scene Failure]]: whilst [[Storming the Castle]], Violet faces one room full of [[Mook|Mooks]]s in pure white NBC gear, which just makes the [[Bloodless Carnage]] all the more blatant. Combined with relatively tame choreography, this fight is a particular low point in the film.
** The duel between Violet and Daxus has its problems too. The ''idea'' is [[So Cool Its Awesome]]--a—a [[Sword Fight]] in total darkness, lit only by the fact that [[Flaming Sword|the swords are on fire]]--but—but, because they actually filmed it straight, ''without'' employing [[Hollywood Darkness]], you can't make much sense of what's going on.
** The final fight with The Blood Chinois is one too. Its more or less the same shot over and over.
* [[Just Here for Godzilla]]: Milla herself is the reason many caught the movie.
Line 14:
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: the CGI was decent for its time, but it doesn't particularly hold up today.

* [[Body Horror]]: In Episode 2, {{spoiler|a girl who had her back completely and utterly broken in a motorcycle accident is turned into a vampire. There is a bloodchilling shot from behind in which you see ''her back is still broken'', even as a vampire.}}
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Angie March.
