Line 21:
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: ''Rise of the Lycans'', in which the vampire nobles (the women, at least) seem to be wearing modern evening wear, some even featuring bare midriffs. The date and setting of the film is inexact, but it is clearly supposed to be a medieval setting.
** Based on the first two movies, this takes place roughly 600 years ago, as Selene's family was murdered "the winter of Lucian's escape."
* [[Anatomically
** 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"
** To be fair, that was just for the first few shots of the scene, probably just 'foreplay'. In the last few shots Michael actually looks positioned right.
Line 35:
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Vampires and Lycans both wear them, and they have a noted tendency to catch the breeze.
* [[Badass Normal]]: Raze when still human. First thing he does when confronted with one of the wild and feral Werewolves? Punches the damn thing down.
** Detective Sebastian in ''Awakening''. He may look as if he bought his detective outfit at a Halloween costume store, but when the chips are down he still shoots lycans with some sort of giant gun and survives a [[No
* [[Bat Out of Hell]]: The vampire Elder Marcus, on account of his becoming a hybrid, seems to have grown leathery gray skin and enormous, sycthe-like bat-wings.
* [[Black and Grey Morality]]:The whole vampire werewolf conflict, also ''Rise of The Lycans'' and ''Evolution'' are the only films with the protagonists can be argued to be the more heroic participants in the conflict, rather than the guys with the current viewpoint.
* [[Big Bad]]: Viktor in the first movie and ''Rise of the Lycans'', Marcus in ''Evolution'', Dr. Lane in ''Awakening''.
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: When Selene is escaping in ''Awakening'' a guard shoots her in the head. [[No Sell|It just pisses her off]].
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Selene's automatic pistols must just be magical, roaring with one continuous noise as they spew bullets like water out of a hose. Her infamous [[Bullethole Door|Bullet Hole Trap Door]] is only one example.
* [[Bullethole Door]]: Selene makes one through the floor. With ''silver bullets'', no less. ''[[Myth Busters]]'' attempted to reproduce this specific stunt, and couldn't do it, even with 10 times the ammo.
Line 81:
* [[Genetic Memory]]: Carried in the blood of both werewolves and vampires are the "parent's" memories, which can be accessed by drinking.
* [[The Ghost]]: Marcus in the first movie. He's only mentioned as one of the three vampire elders, who was supposed to take power before Selene awakened Viktor instead. We don't actually see him until ''Evolution'', where we learn how important he really is to the series' backstory.
* [[Gorn]]: There's a scene in ''Evolution'' where an exiled vamp is having a threesome. One of his partners bites him. [[Hemo
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Selene wields almost all her guns, in all three of the films she appears in, in pairs.
* [[Healing Factor]]: Both vampires and lycans (except against silver in the latter's case). Best illustrated in the second film, when Selene suffers severe burns from short-term exposure to the sun, which are gone minutes later.
* [[Helicopter Blender]]: Used at the end of ''Evolution''.
* [[Hell-Bent for Leather]]: Selene. Just look at the poster.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Lycan doctor Singe managed to put behind [[Das Boot|his U-boat experience]].
** Thomas, from Awakening, [[Game of Thrones|still doesn't care for the wolf, and always pays his debts.]]
* [[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.}}
Line 159:
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Selene does this in ''Awakening'' {{spoiler|first to search for Michael and later to rescue Eve.}}
* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: William, in his sarcophagus. {{spoiler|[[Justified]], however, in that it was all a trick by Marcus to make sure that the vampires wouldn't kill his brother.}}
* [[Self
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Raze.
* [[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.
Line 189:
* [[World of Ham]]
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Kraven gives Selene a vicious slap to the face.
* [[
** Selene [[Genre Savvy|shows signs of being aware of this]]. She recognizes that Kraven is not enough of a warrior to have actually killed Lucian, but as the only survivor 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.
* [[You Sexy Beast]]: Vampires are sleek and seductive, dressing in stylish gothic fashions. Werewolves are brawny, rough-and-tumble men in leather. [[They Fight Crime|They have sex]].
** The vampires have plenty of sex, but Lucian is the only Lycan ever shown having sex. Plenty of Lycans brawling naked, though.
* [[Zero
