ahhh. Okay. Makes sense.

As to your question regarding Selene and the knife wound - we have no idea what Lucien had on the blade. With the UV bullets - he could have had his blade coated with something which stopped the regeneration process in a vampire - thus resulting in them bleeding to death. Remember, he gave Michael an enzyme which kept him from transforming into a Werewolf, so that sort of bio-knowledge was obviously not beyond them.

I can't remember what the deal is with vampires and running water.

I do know that part of the vampiric myth changes depending upon who is writing the story. In each retelling people find the need to make their vampires more "unique" than the other myths and so they add their own twists to the myth. That's probably why they could see their reflection? I'm not sure. I do know that the closer you are to the original vampire, the stronger you are because the disease is less diluted and therefore less things effect you.

I think Victor was stronger but he had lived for such a long time (many centuries) Michael had just changed...as for why Victor was killed... I think he wasn't expecting to be attacked that way.. I thought how the head fell apart was pretty corny myself... I give the movie...2 1/2 stars

Actually I watched this the other day with someone who hadn't seen it before and it all made sense.

Selene is an Abomonation after drinking Micheal's blood. She just doesn't change...but Micheal looks normal after the last fight as well.

This is how she has the strength to kill Victor.

Remember she refused to believe that Victor had killed her family or his daughter...but after drinking Micheal's Blood she knew immediately that Victor was bad.

This is because memories are transferred during the blood drain. So she now had all of the memories of the leader of the werewolves.

If you recall earlier in the movie, the werewolf leader just wanted to inject Micheal's blood with a vampire's blood into himself so he could kill Victor.

If you watch it again it does make a little more sense.

I don't know about all that lol...I think Selene stayed the same... I just think he killed Victor when he didn't expect it....
