Visible crew/equipment: At the end of the truck chase scene, when Marcus is rolling on the ground after being smashed into the cliff, you can see the white of his safety harness. This was pointed out on the director commentary. (00:32:00)
Revealing mistake: When Selene falls into the tunnels of Tanis's lair where the lycans are, you can see the pad she lands on. It's almost passed off as falling snow, but watch how as she lands the 'ground' squeezes like a pillow. This was pointed out in the director's commentary. (00:44:00)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the helicopter is outside the castle, the entry team dons their diving gear to enter the water. They put on gas masks with one viewing panel. When the shot changes to a water view the entry team is wearing scuba masks, which have their viewing panel divided in half by a black line. When the team emerges from the water within the castle in the next shot they are back to wearing masks with one window. (01:16:40)
Continuity mistake: The pendant worn by Lucian in the first film triples in size whenever it is shown in Evolution.
Continuity mistake: After Marcus kills Kraven, we cut back to Selene and Michael. As he talks about her saving his life and that how everything has changed, part of Selene's fringe switches from hanging in front of her face to tucked to the side between shots. In the closeup shots it hangs in front of her face and in the wide shots it is tucked to the side.
Continuity mistake: The glass that Tanis is holding which Selene shoots with a crossbow smashes in his hand twice between shots.
Continuity mistake: After the fight on the barge between Michael and Marcus, Selene tries to revive the impaled and seemingly dead Michael. At one point she rips his shirt open to pour her own blood into his wound, then the shot changes to her face, then changes again, slightly further out. It is in this shot, you can see Michael's shirt is still intact.
Continuity mistake: When Michael is being shot by the police, Selene can hear the shots very clearly, despite being down in the basement off the safe house. She goes out and goes towards the shots. Although she's much closer to the action, and outside the building now, the shots seem a lot further away.
Revealing mistake: During the final battle with William, Selene throws 2 explosives into the roof. The resulting explosion sends debris hurling towards the ground and the water, the rocks however float in the water.
Deliberate mistake: When Selene and Michael are driving a truck, chased by Marcus, at one point in the chase Marcus flies directly ahead of the truck and stays upright in the air with wings outstretched, facing the truck. Given that the truck is travelling at high speed and Marcus is using wings for flying, it is just not possible. It can't be attributed to Marcus' inertia - he stays in front of the truck for a couple of seconds, long enough to lose any speed advantage he had before.
Deliberate mistake: When Marcus attacks the Truck, all the windows get smashed. Michael climbs back in and starts a conversation with Selene. There seems to be hardly any wind, although they're driving at quite a speed without a front window. They both have long hair, it should move.
Revealing mistake: As Selene and Michael infiltrate Tanis's lair of exile, Selene kills both of Tanis's vampire girlfriends. Afterwards, as Tanis is carrying one of the dead girls' body to a dungeon we can plainly see the girl's arm holding onto his shoulders/back of his neck. If she was dead, her arm should have simply hung somewhere - not draped around his shoulders, obviously holding on like she is.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Selene saves Michael from the cops, the first and third cop that she knocks out/kills is in fact the same actor used twice.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Michael was served food, the knife and fork are on his right side but on the next shot the fork suddenly jumps to his left hand.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning it says it's 1200AD and all 3 elders are awake, but in the first film viktor tells Selene that they have been jumping through time, one awake, two asleep for over 1000 years.
Other mistake: When the glass in the Range Rover gets broken, the front window and passenger window shatters as normal automotive safety glass should. However, the driver's side glass gets broken into large jagged shards, instead of smaller pieces as would happen with any kind of auto safety glass, whether tempered, coated, or laminated.
Answer: This could be a confusion over characters. If I remember rightly, the film opens with a scene set somewhere around 1200AD, showing the three vampire elders, Markus, Viktor and Amelia, leading a war party. Possibly your friend has mistaken Amelia, played by Hungarian actress Zita Görög, for Selene, who doesn't appear in the film until after this lengthy flashback sequence has finished.
