"One Awake, Two Asleep THAT'S the way of things." Wow even though he was ruthless and cunning in his plans he still respected the chain. He still has that sense of honor and loyalty.
of course he respects it, he created the chain. which is ironic since he broke many other rules that himself established, like feed on humans, since Kraven hinted that Selene's family was not the first.

@ Matthew Jones Viktor has no loyalty to anyone but himself. Anything that threatens his position he disposes of. That's why he killed his daughter because she disgraced him by going with an animal to use his words. He was the cause of the Lycans revolt and the war that started it because he used them, abused them and made them his slaves. Had he not done that the war wouldn't have started. Then to really put the cherry on top he enforced the rule of no feeding on humans but went out and gorged himself on human blood. He stupidly left Kraven in charge because Kraven knew his secrets that he couldn't allow to be public knowledge so he kept Kraven sweet by elevating him to a powerful position and it backfired. If he was smart he would have discretely fed on humans and made sure no one knew about it or just kept to the rule of animal blood only. Viktor was just a tyranical bully and eventually all tyrants are the cause of their own downfall and demise. Had he been intelligent he would have killed Selene, instead he let her live, turned her into a vampire sired by him personally which probably makes her incredibly strong than your average vampire, trained her as a death dealer knowing full well she was so dedicated to it because he lied that lycans killed her family and she made it her mission to wipe them out. He basically handed Selene the tools to take him out. On top of that he never wanted William to be free yet he knew Selene was the map to William's prison and that Tanis knew it as well yet he exiled him which in turn made Tanis develop UV weapons and sell them to lycans and Markus tracked him down to get the truth out of him. Viktor was fucking stupid and careless!
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 The name William Craven is my name since 1967 and handed down from my Grandfather , Which makes me the 3Rd one as my Father and His Father our a sleep ,
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 Yes and no. He was smart but he was also very arrogant. His plans didn't really start unraveling until just before he died. If he had survived he probably would have maintained things for a time but then again Marcus turned into a hybrid so I don't know how that would have gone.
"I love you like a daughter", and in the next breath, "you'll not be shown an ounce of leniency" . Makes sense though he you remember what he did to his own daughter.
@@irage32 He burned his daughter alive because she was seeing a Lycan. I think she was pregnant too. He considers that sort of union as a highest form of abomination. Still was my favorite character. He was awe inspiring
Yeah and he did it even its too hurtful a Leader who follow his on rules and to avoid the abomination of like a bell daugther would married and live with a there Slave
Bill Nighy.. his performance as Victor is simply outstanding. That man's facial character is incredible. The way he goes from love you like a daughter to.. you will not be shown an ounce of leniency.. wow! Guy is awesome.
Viktor is the most exciting character in the Underworld Universe..Hes cruel..precise..a brilliant battle strategist...charismatic beyond compare and yet a most loving father. And he puts the survival of the species above all else. Without him, the species would have extinct..and there would be no Selene, Micheal, Eve..or all those boring characters. Bill Nighy is just an awesome actor.
But he is also a monumental hypocrite, racist, and in the process of putting the species ahead of anything else he murders his own daughter and treats any Lycan like dirt.
Victor was not the first vampire as they were all lead to believe it is Marcus who was the first vampire in history not Viktor and plus they tell u that in underworld evolution when viktor tells Marcus to retreat back to the forest so if Marcus dies the rest all dies with them
@@MrImastinker Oh you brainwashed Trump haters. Calling vampire as racist for being a mortal enemy to werewolves. Guess what snowflake, by that criteria werewolves are racists too for hating the vampires 👍
Bill Nighy is a very talented actor. He played Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean films. And the hilarious washed up singer, Billy Mack, in Love Actually.
+Council13 He'll always be Shaun's step dad from "Shaun of the Dead" to me. I always feel so bad for him because Simon Pegg has this plan to just kill him instantly like he's nothing and then Bill goes on this huge, emotional speech about how he loved Shaun like a real son. So brutally funny.
Sounded like he was sneezing a little within takes. One of the on set guys, was like "Should we do that again"? do a retake. "No" said director Len Wiseman. "Keep rolling".
You can see his internal battle , he loves her but he is loyal to the coven even more! When she bows and he scoff as if there’s no need for the formality, then his voices breaks when he explains, he loves her like a daughter, but his stern tone resumes “ you have broken the covenant “ So many emotions he displayed in such a short scene ! Bravo ! Master class acting !
Viktor really dive headfirst into becoming a brutal vampire. I’m sure that since he was dying when he became one made him see his change as much more of a gift than others. This is probably why he’s so adamant about protecting their way of life
I absolutely LOVE this scene. Has to be my favorite out of all the Underworld's. He's such an outstanding actor. Went from a caring "father" to a hard ruler with an iron fist. And his voice is just perfect too me idk why lol! But I loves it;
I've never really cared about her, she was just a side character staying in backround. The fact that it was supposed to be a powerful vampire she seemed to more like a part of extras.
@@gentleheart7107 you could argue that was one of the issues with this series. they didnt seem to want to show any powerful females who werent kate beckinsale. amelia being an elder and a woman, she must have been twenty times deadly as any death dealer, but we never got to see it.
@@maxplays9187 that was kinda my point. bad writing serving the story and not the rules theyve made for the world. amelia is an elder and no way can a lycan kill an elder, they're too strong and too fast especially since amelia was in her prime when she was coming back to awaken marcus.
Bill Nighy has such a range! At 2:13, Viktor comes off as paternal and warm, well considering, but then at 2:35, he comes off as cold, strict, and domineering giving out punishment. Close your eyes, it's like there's two different people talking!
1:16 Viktor: The chain has never been broken, not once, not in fourteen centuries, not since we Elders first began to leapfrog through time: one awake, two asleep; that's the way of it. It is Markus' turn to reign, not mine! Selene: But I had no choice! The Coven is in danger and Michael is- *Viktor revolts at the name* Viktor: Ah yes. The *lycan* .
They should never allow Marcus to reign because that guy doesnt cares about the vampire species the only thing that matters to him its his brother William.
Leto Atreides I didnt like viktor much well as a character yes but I prefered selene but atleast Viktor wasnt a pansy and weak like the vampires on Twilight
even though marcus is much more powerful than victor he was never a true leader like victor was , despite whither you agree with victor's decisions or not you have to give him that he knew how run those vampires and stay on top of a breed (lykins) which are more powerful than vampires
Viktor was not only the best vampire in any movie, he is actually one of the best characters in any movie. He completely nails it, especially in Rise of the Lycans.
***** Amelia. Her backstory is never really fleshed out, but she seemed like the one most connected to society. Maybe she was turned to influence connections in powerful places.
I really wish Viktor lived. He definitely should have had the fight with her due to differing principles concerning Michael, but I wanted him to stay alive and become a better leader for the coven. Like Vegeta in DBZ. Started out as an absolutely ruthless killing machine with no heart, opened his mind and developed a conscience, but for Lycans. I was really rooting for him.
LEAVE US! Incredible delivery, they really screwed up with the elder vampires in these films, they were always the best part. Like how awesome is Bill Nighy here.
I loved the first few underworld movies , gothic ,stylish and with some superb acting here from Bill Nighy ,def one of my fav scenes . Shame they lost something after the 2nd underworld.
Bill Nighy is one of my favorite Actor he is the best for the rolr of Magnificient Characters in Movies even its a Protagonist or Antagonist I love the way his acting, accent and his passion
Though I don’t like Viktor for how he treated Marcus and took command from him, I have to respect his respect for the chain, knowing it’s Marcus’ turn to rule and not wanting to supersede him because he respects the cycle.
Tbh, I love how he states, that the rules kept them alive this long and literally in like 6 to 15 years' time, human goes Jihad of both races when the rules are broken and the news is out.
Roflmao at this dialogue. Man this is good stuff right here. What an emotional rollercoaster from viktor. Tell her u love her like a daughter and tell her with sympathetic emotion why the covenant survived this long' then immediately flip da switch and tell her she won't be shown an outfit ce of leniency and she must be judged ha ha Ha ha ha . I don't think I've ever witnessed a better script
Well, after watching this part of the movie again, I have come to a realization. This whole debacle could've been avoided altogether had Viktor decided to bite Selene and sort through her memories firsthand. Doing this, he could've confirmed Selene's suspicions were true.
@Johnathon Davis because Marcus was a hybrid at that point so Marcus either drained Tanis at that point or the Lycan strain from that bite killed him or perhaps Tanis was in a state of shock which mirrored death.
I know the Academy never considered it, but Nighy deserved a supporting actor nomination for this role. At the theater when he character was awakened... jaws dropped. His acting was light years ahead of anyone else in the movie and you could feel the change in "gravitas: immediately.
I really wish they delved more into the other Elders' back stories. Lot of questions left unanswered in this franchise. Would love a prequel centered around Alexander Corvinus and how he became the first immortal and how he created the first Vampire Marcus and first Lycan William.
@@vankatalaz6850 True. I wonder if Bill Nighy applied his Viktor cadence to his Davy Jones voice. It isn't outside the realm of possibility given that Bill Nighy played Viktor before he played Davy Jones.
My favorite scene in the whole movie! I find myself sayin this whole scene to myself sometimes, lol. I see that alotta people think that scoff he does when Selene kneels to him (0:06) is random but its not. The look on his face explains it. He did it cuz he didnt want her to kneel to him..like sayin she didnt need to cuz he treated her like his daughter. Well before she (Sonja) decided to betray him with Lucian ;-)
That's interesting because I thought he expected her to show her loyalty. (Thus his stern look before she kneels.) After she does he softens his insistence on protocol to show her his paternal side. Viktor was a noble even before he was turned, so fealty toward status is expected regardless of who you are...
They should have never replaced the guy who played the original Michael in the serie...Fans loved the original Michael and the romantic relation he started to develop with Selene.....
The thing was, Scott Speedman wanted more creative control over the character of Michael but the directors weren't having it hence he abandoned the role after the second film plus he got other opportunities.
Can not get enough of Viktor got all the films on my hard drive but so many clips exist on the internet of all my favourite movies. it is easier to watch youtube for memory then start digging through my terrabyte of HD space.
Viktor may be wise, but without being awoken he would've been dead along with Marcus if the Lycans had attacked during their weaken rule. Also Viktor was very interesting, Bill Nighy your acting will be remembered as the best I seen so far. Pirates of the Caribbean, Under world were my favorite.
@@cautarepvp2079 you got a point about the sealed tomb. But marcus is the son of alexander corvinus, the first immortal. He's not a vampire or lycan tho. Marcus only turned into a vampire cause he was bitten by a bat and mutated his corvinus genes making him the first vampire. Also his brother william got bitten by a wolf which made him a lycan that can never revert back to his human form. They also had a brother who is mortal but still had the mutated genes and was passed on to michael who turned to a hybrid. That's why marcus turned to a hybrid. A direct descendant or someone wo holds the pure gene of the corvinus will garanteed to become a hybrid.

I don't think I've ever witnessed a better script
when viktor owns that werewolf has got to be one of the coolest scenes in any movie ever
Well, after watching this part of the movie again, I have come to a realization. This whole debacle could've been avoided altogether had Viktor decided to bite Selene and sort through her memories firsthand. Doing this, he could've confirmed Selene's suspicions were true.
@Johnathon Davis Lo llego a matar a Tanis?
@Johnathon Davis because Marcus was a hybrid at that point so Marcus either drained Tanis at that point or the Lycan strain from that bite killed him or perhaps Tanis was in a state of shock which mirrored death.
I know the Academy never considered it, but Nighy deserved a supporting actor nomination for this role. At the theater when he character was awakened... jaws dropped. His acting was light years ahead of anyone else in the movie and you could feel the change in "gravitas: immediately.
I really wish they delved more into the other Elders' back stories. Lot of questions left unanswered in this franchise. Would love a prequel centered around Alexander Corvinus and how he became the first immortal and how he created the first Vampire Marcus and first Lycan William.
Bill acting as viktor is mindblowing😐 i come in peace My lord🤷
1:37 I love this idiosyncratic trigger reaction 🤣😂
I love it too 😂
Davy Jones
Mladi Vuk I got a jar of dirt
Viktor’s voice sounds very similar to that of Davy Jones, especially when he says “You must be judged!” at the end.
@@speedracer2008 cause its the same actor lmao
@@vankatalaz6850 True. I wonder if Bill Nighy applied his Viktor cadence to his Davy Jones voice. It isn't outside the realm of possibility given that Bill Nighy played Viktor before he played Davy Jones.
Fuck I love the voice and acting of Bill Nighy in this movie.
The underworld trilogy is my all time favorites. Some better than others , but still good
My favorite scene in the whole movie! I find myself sayin this whole scene to myself sometimes, lol.
I see that alotta people think that scoff he does when Selene kneels to him (0:06) is random but its not. The look on his face explains it. He did it cuz he didnt want her to kneel to him..like sayin she didnt need to cuz he treated her like his daughter. Well before she (Sonja) decided to betray him with Lucian ;-)
That's interesting because I thought he expected her to show her loyalty. (Thus his stern look before she kneels.) After she does he softens his insistence on protocol to show her his paternal side. Viktor was a noble even before he was turned, so fealty toward status is expected regardless of who you are...
She is astonishingly beautiful…
They should have never replaced the guy who played the original Michael in the serie...Fans loved the original Michael and the romantic relation he started to develop with Selene.....
The thing was, Scott Speedman wanted more creative control over the character of Michael but the directors weren't having it hence he abandoned the role after the second film plus he got other opportunities.
@@QilinRider21 ....oh ok, that makes sense....it's unfortunate that happened as his fan base was growing strong
whether its the bookshop or his role here or will ye sarve. bill nighy owns them all. unreal and absolutely brilliant acting
Bill Nighy is outstanding playing Victor in this Underworld Universe.
I found this just to here Viktor's gaspings real vampire sounds. Like why didn't he win an award for this.... 😩
In case anyone missed it ... this is the same guy that played Davey Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
"the Covenant has been broken, YOU MUST BE JUDGED."
" I love you... like a daughter "
Maybe the reason that Selene survive this far is because she is not his daughter..... if you know what I mean.
Yup
Can not get enough of Viktor
got all the films on my hard drive
but so many clips exist on the internet of all my favourite movies.
it is easier to watch youtube for memory then start digging through my terrabyte of HD space.
Viktor may be wise, but without being awoken he would've been dead along with Marcus if the Lycans had attacked during their weaken rule. Also Viktor was very interesting, Bill Nighy your acting will be remembered as the best I seen so far. Pirates of the Caribbean, Under world were my favorite.
Bill should have been in Game of Thrones. Great actor!
My opinion is that Viktor was the most powerfull leader from all the vampires.
Not Marcus .
It was Markus due to him being a hybrid Viktor was more intelligent
Asgaard Norse Marcus is the most powerful as he’s the first vampire. But Viktor is in charge because he was the king of Marcus.
@Johnathon Davis how did marcus become hybrid if the first place?
@@cautarepvp2079 Seriously why don't you just watch the movie it explains all this.
@@cautarepvp2079 you got a point about the sealed tomb. But marcus is the son of alexander corvinus, the first immortal. He's not a vampire or lycan tho. Marcus only turned into a vampire cause he was bitten by a bat and mutated his corvinus genes making him the first vampire. Also his brother william got bitten by a wolf which made him a lycan that can never revert back to his human form. They also had a brother who is mortal but still had the mutated genes and was passed on to michael who turned to a hybrid. That's why marcus turned to a hybrid. A direct descendant or someone wo holds the pure gene of the corvinus will garanteed to become a hybrid.
The way he says 'Judged'.. immediately recognizable from the exaggeration of that mannerism by Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Timo Rutanen literally just thought about that as I was scrolling through the comments and heard him say it
1:37 when youre eating a popeyes biscuit and forgot your soda
[ slurps on soda ] ...yep
Victor is the baddest vampire villian of all times. He makes my skin crawl.
I love the scene where Victor awakes and talks to Craven.
That's how you scoff like a vampire elder. Viktor is a beast.
