Trivia
Robert Pattinson took a boat driving lesson so he would be able to drive the boat in the honeymoon scenes. Despite taking lessons, he crashed the boat in both the lessons and while filming in Brazil.

Bill Condon chose not to show Edward ripping Bella's body open with his teeth during the childbirth because he felt having the audience experience it via sound effects and having Robert Pattinson slightly out of frame made it more potent. He also felt it made the scene more special for viewers who have read the book.

Goofs

When Bella first decides to drink human blood in order to save herself and her baby, she says the words: "I'll try anything." If you look closely at her mouth when she says these words, you can see that even prior to taking her first sip of blood, there is a red, bloody substance between her teeth.

During Bella's transformation, her hair changes positions, from all behind her, to pulled mostly to one side, to on top of her shoulders.

Jacob Black: Maybe they'll say she was in a car crash. Or tripped and fell off a cliff. At least I'll get one thing out of it.

Edward Cullen: [note to Bella] I've gone to the mainland to hunt. I'll be back before you wake.

Q
Is there anything after the credits?
A
Following the major credits, there is a scene where Bianca, the Volturi's human receptionist, delivers a note from Carlisle to Aro, announcing the changing of Bella into a vampire. After Aro admonishes Bianca for misspelling Carlisle's name, he has her forcibly removed from her service. Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) makes a comment that, at least, their dispute with the Cullens is ended. 'Goodness, no,' Aro replies. 'Our dispute goes far beyond the fate of a mere human. They have something I want.'

What songs were featured in the film?

Q
Why did Aro have the secretary Bianca taken away, presumably to be killed?
A
The three most likely reasons include: 1, they were angry over how everything played out with Cullens and took it out on Bianca (Ali Faulkner); 2, Aro (Michael Sheen) is overly demanding about protocol, evidenced by his statements over the spelling of Carlisle's name and the grammar of the note; and 3, most vampires, especially the Volturi, consider themselves superior to humans and therefore have little to no moral objection over killing one. This scene was meant to be seen in conjunction with a similar scene at the beginning of the movie that failed to make the final cut. In the scene, another secretary delivers Bella and Edward's wedding invitation to Aro and company, which angers them a great deal. In response they take out said anger on the girl and promptly kill her. Bianca certainly would have learned of her death and, therefore, feared for her own life. This is why we see her visually frightened when delivering the note.
