Plot hole: Even assuming that creating a manhole underneath your own feet Looney Tunes-style shooting a gazillion bullets around you through the floor is a better battle strategy than using said bullets to shoot at the three remaining wolves charging at you in the small corridor, said creatures don't suddenly stop existing just because you fell down one floor, making their complete disappearance - they do not give chase through the hole or stairs nor even make as much of an angry sound throughout the rest of the scene.

Suggested correction: I think this is more a stupidity than a plot hole. She could have escaped or defeated the wolves in any kind of ways, it's not a plot hole that she escaped by using a tactic that is illogical but not impossible.
I would absolutely agree about the silly tactic itself, but there were pursuing werewolves in that corridor, and for the remainder of the scene she just faces Lucian. There's no explanation why they don't come through the same hole, or take the stairs, or claw a hole through like they seemed to easily do in Michael's apartment.Not even a snarl: she drops one floor and they are...gone? So that part feels like a plot hole to me.

Corrected entry: The film's location - Budapest, Hungary - can be identified from the subway system and some outdoor scenes. When Selene looks up Michael's address on her laptop, we see a street that is an actual Hungarian name: "Laktos Joszef 39 ut" translates to "39 Joseph Locksmith way". Choosing a street that doesn't exist in Budapest was probably deliberate, but they left typos in both parts of that name, and the format is also wrong. Correctly it would look like this: "Lakatos Jozsef ut 39". These typos don't have any benefit, but for a moment they draw the Hungarian-speaking viewer's attention away from the action. (00:23:30)
Correction: I think we have to accept that the city is not actually meant to be anywhere specific. Yes, a lot looks like Budapest. But a lot also looks like Prague. And the police look more American than European. Since the actual location is never specified, this is a case of it being a fantasy nominally set somewhere in Eastern Europe.
The city being precisely Budapest or another one is irrelevant in this case, the language has been identified as Hungarian (also explicitly stated as such in the sequel), and according to the Hungarian language the address "39 ut" is written in the wrong order as it should be "ut 39", this is definitely a valid mistake. To further prove it, they felt the need to fix it in one of the sequels: in Awakening, the troopers have a little Robocop HUD thingy in their helmets and it displays information, including his address being "Lakatos Jozsef ut 39."
