Underworld (film): Difference between revisions

* [[Capulet Counterpart]]: Selene.

* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Selene in ''Evolution'' to Alexander Corvinus, in response to his [[Not So Different]] lecture.

* [[Cat Fight]]: Subverted in the second film. Twice. In the span of ''[[Curb Stomp Battle|ten seconds]]''.

* [[Cleanup Crew]]: Alexander Corvinus leads a group of men, appropriately called [[Shaped Like Itself|The Cleaners]], who cover up the evidence of lycans and vampires. {{spoiler|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''.}}

* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: Viktor, letting Selene live and turn her into a vampire, because she reminds him so much of Sonja, only to end up {{spoiler|getting killed by his "daughter"}}. In the second film, {{spoiler|Selene rips off one of Marcus's spiked wings and stabs him with it.}}

** And Viktor again, in ''Rise of the Lycans''. When Lucian is born, he gets the feeling that he should kill the infant, but doesn't, leading to the following exchange:

'''Lucian:''' Yes, you should have. *stabs Viktor through the mouth* But you didn't. }}

** Dr. Lane in ''Awakening'' {{spoiler|has his neck ripped out through his throat by the hybrid he created.}}

** A more likely candidate would be Kraven. From slipping up and dropping Lucian's name in argument with Selene to...just about everything else his ego leads him to do.

* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]:

'''Viktor:''' [[Berserk Button|I loved my daughter! But the abomination growing in her womb was a betrayal of me and the coven!]] I did what was necessary to protect the species! [[Here We Go Again|As I am forced to do yet again!]] }}

* [[I Hate You, Vampire Dad]]: Both Sonja and Selene suffer this.

* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: As the first vampire, Markus 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 [[Subverted Trope|lie it is]], but the one telling it to her notes that Victor believed it enough to not risk it.

* [[Not So Different]]: Alexander Corvinus gives both this and a [[Reason You Suck Speech]] to Selene when she asks him for help killing Markus. For her response, see [[Calling the Old Man Out]].

'''Alexander Corvinus:''' You are asking me to help you kill my son - YOU, a Death Dealer? How many innocents have YOU slain in your six-century quest to avenge your family? Spare me your self-righteous declarations! You are no different from Marcus and even less noble than William - at least HE cannot control his savagery! }}

* [[Of Corsets Sexy]] / [[Spy Catsuit]]: Selene's outfit.
