* CaliforniaDoubling: For reasons unknown, most of the movie is shot in Hong Kong and Shanghai, even though the setting is supposedly a futuristic version of the United States. This is especially noticeable in the opening panning shot - Shanghai's Pearl Oriental Tower can be seen in the background (on the screen's left side).

* CreatorKiller: ''Ultraviolet'' killed Kurt Wimmer's directing career - and rather unfairly at that, given that he was essentially kicked out of the director's chair before the film was finished. He has since then gone back to writing and writing only.

* CreatorBacklash: Writer-director Kurt Wimmer and star Creator/MillaJovovich disowned the released version of the film, as it was taken out of their hands early in post-production, cut down from 120 minutes to 88 minutes, and neutered from an R rating to a PG-13, with the final cut even featuring unfinished VFX.
* CreatorKiller: ''Ultraviolet'' killed Kurt Wimmer's directing career - and rather unfairly at that, given that he was essentially kicked out of the director's chair before the film was finished. He has since then gone back to writing and writing only.
* DeletedScenes: Over half-an-hour of footage was cut from the final film, only eight minutes of which were included in the unrated, extended edition.
* DuelingMovies: With ''Film/UnderworldEvolution'' and ''Film/BladeTrinity'' (and to a lesser degree with ''Film/ThirtyDaysOfNight'' too), which would explain why the vampire subtext seemed a little buried.
* EnforcedMethodActing: In order to get her all fired up, Wimmer once made Jovovich punch him in the face. He directed for several days with a black eye.
* ExecutiveMeddling:
** Wimmer's initial rough cut of the film ran 120 minutes. Shortly after turning in this assembly cut, Wimmer and Milla were locked out of editing, and the film was edited beyond recognition for being supposedly "too emotional", as well as rushed through editing in order to meet the intended release date. As a result of the latter, the film's extensive visual effects were left incomplete, resulting in loads of SpecialEffectsFailure. The theatrical cut ran 88 minutes, with conspicuously BloodlessCarnage due to the studio's decision to cut the film from Wimmer's intended hard-R to a more widely marketable PG-13.
** A barely extended cut was released on home video, running at 97 minutes, but was not released on Blu-ray due to Sony's then-refused at the time to allow unrated or NC-17 content on the format. The only remnant of Wimmer's original vision can be found in the {{Novelization}}, which was based on an earlier, pre-shooting script.
