I love that no matter what is happening Umbrella just does whatever sounds like the "evil" thing to do, like they never have a consistent motive, they just love doing "evil" things even if it also sucks for them too.
I actually had a debate with a friend who was a fan of the movies, because I was like: "Umbrella has all the money, and all the monopolies ever, why wipe out humanity? Even if they wanted to transform earth, they could probably do so though many other means". And he just went "I dunno" or something XD
@@McSnezzly In the games, the Racoon City outbreak is unintentional, IIRC. The Mansion was a controlled incident to see how the zombies and other B.O.W.s would function against a small team of well-trained law enforcement, it was a test of sorts. Umbrella didn't really want to take over the world, they wanted to create biological weapons to sell but shit got out of control.
@@kevincola3184 yeah but then they made it so dumb that the B.O.W.s have easy to spot weaknesses and are mostly mindless apart from very few. Soooo not really a good investment tbh.... Idk why they didnt go bancrupt yet lol. Funny how the most dangerous villain Wesker gets killed when he finally mutates.
Possibly or a genderbent Leon, her abilities (minus the stupid psychic bs) are like RE4 Leon's. Her hair color looks like his, especially at the end with the side bang comeover.
@@kenzieuchiha1191 But it couldn't be either! Leon had blonde hair and abilities in RE4 and Ada's dress was also like Alice's in RE4, But RE4 came out in 2005 while the 1st movie where Alice has that appearance came out in 2002
@@maliha3305 I wouldn't be surprised if it was a mix of multiple characters. Because the red dress gives me Ada Wong vibes and you pointed it out that Alice is like Jill Valentine. And there's kinda a little bit of Claire Redfield in her too.
I think paul does not consider what's next for the sequel thats why the sequel keep retconning the previous movie or sometimes completely disregard it. When the 1st movie came out, I always thought it had potential to stand on its own. No character from the game etc, build its own lore or maybe show things that was not shown in the game
@@sunadokei69 I still hold that the first movie was pretty fucking baller. It was what actually got me into Resident Evil. And you're right if it had just kept breaking new ground that was related to the games but not trampling on them (Like they immediately did in the second movie) it had such potential. That said.... man, can we go back to the shitty Alice RE movies now...? That new one.... oh god it's so bad.

Funny enough, the scene where she sprints down the side of the building is 100% possible. When I was in infantry school for the Army we had a drill sergeant who did EXACTLY that on the repel tower. It was super badass.
What I have never figured out is how people could expect her to do that without training. It should have been obvious that she was getting her training implanted, which would have lead to the obvious conclusion that she was a clone all the way back then.
@@roberthicks1612 She had amnesia, so it could be argued that maybe she could have been like a super spy or something. That would explain why she's so good at fighting. But of course they did the psychic powers later.
@@NSFSponsor Possible, but the point is, they never tried to explain how someone could be that well trained. She was suppose to be a security agent guarding the emergency door to the hive. I can not imagine people in that position being trained to the level she would have to have been. The thing is, there are so many things that scream that we did not have the full picture in the first movie. Yet when those things are finally explained in the last movie, critics call it retconning. I believe they were planned that way the entire time. Some slight details might have been changed, but it does not change what the first movie showed. By the time the second movie came out, I totally expected she was a clone. For example, the red queen was suppose to be modeled on a girl who was the same age, YET she had been in control of the facility for longer than the girl had been alive? The man that developed the virus was conveniently in a wheel chair where he could be easily manipulated. The guy in charge even admitted they had been watching him the entire time, meaning that not only were they wanting him to do what he did, they had manipulated him into doing it. UNLESS all three were clones, it did not make sense.
I will always describe these films as the visual version of someone's Resident Evil fanfiction. Where their OC character is the most special person in the world, and all of the characters from the franchise repeatedly acknowledge how special their OC character is.
Not-so-fun fact, the crew member who was crushed by a jeep was an expecting father. And the stuntwoman who was grievously injured was a veteran of the industry, she was Gal Gadot's double in Wonder Woman among many other gigs. To think, a top professional wouldn't be left permanently crippled, unable to work in her field, and a child wouldn't have to grow up fatherless, with both families not having to fight tooth and nail for deserved compensation, and the only thing we'd have to sacrifice for that is Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
I didn't know I could hate RE: the final chapter more than I already am, but here we are. That's truly awful, I'm glad I didn't spend a single cent on this garbage 😭
Well, you cannot blame the movie or the crew itself. Even if they get hurt, that’s what they are getting paid for, they do the dangerous scenes that no one else can do. In this case you’re writing it like it was the movie’s fault, but saying that isn’t valid unless you specify in which context it could be the movie’s fault (example: they had a tight schedule and they rushed them causing injuries. They knew it was too dangerous but they were forced to do it, etc.) my point is that you cannot blame the movie or crew for a stuntman or woman getting hurt, which is just a natural part of their job.
@@petesolorzano6123 are you serious? The natural part of their job is to enact stunts in highly controlled environments, not risk their lives. It's literally just for entertainment, the stuntpersons are supposed to be thoroughly trained, and if anything happens to them that's not a direct result of their mistake, it's the fault of the production. And even if they make mistakes there should be safeguards and rigorous checks, cause again, IT'S JUST A MOVIE. They're not firefighters or soldiers. No one should be getting hurt, let alone seriously maimed or killed to film a shitty zombie movie. But that was just in general. If you want to read the Hollywood Reporter article on it, the Resident Evil franchise is notorious for being a dangerous production. The stuntwoman who lost her arm was slated to film a totally different scene altogether and got to know at the last minute that instead it would be a motorbike scene. She then lost her arm cause the crane operator apparently fucked up. The male crew member who was killed had his lungs crushed by a Humvee that just slid off a platform. And he wasn't even a stuntman, so your excuse doesn't work for this accident at all. There was a different injury on the same set as well, and dozens of people have been injured on set in the previous RE movies. So yeah, I'm blaming the millionaire piece of shit producers who consistently can't make sure the sets for their multi-billion dollar movie franchise are safe enough that people don't lose their limbs, or lives. Crew members have literally spelled out that the production was rushed, and safety precautions ignored. Still think I'm wrong to blame them?
@@ashb7 I think you're wrong to call them "multi billion dollar movies". They're not nearly that popular. The harm to stunt actors is awful, but you can't justify magnifying their value by a factor of 100. That shit is just as reprehensible as the people responsible for the harm done.
@@armouredjester1622 except I didn't say "multi billion dollar movies", did I? If you're gonna use quotes, at least make sure you quote me right. I said multi-billion dollar movie FRANCHISE, and seeing as the worldwide box office for the RE franchise is a bit over $1.2 billion, my mistake was the "multi" part. Still, that's no chump change. I wouldn't want even an indie film with a $1000 budget to place anyone's life in serious danger. Also, holy shit, are you saying me making an error on a YT comment as to how much money the RE franchise made is equally as reprehensible as the gross negligence of millionaire Hollywood producers who got people dismembered and killed? Is that what you're fucking saying lmao?
RIP Clint aka the first Licker, he snarled his way into our hearts while clawing and eating Spence. He lived for the hunt, loved long walks on the beach and enjoyed pina coladas in the rain. He leaves behind 5 little Lickers and his Licker wife Mary. Clint will be missed but not forgotten.
It’s shocking that these were written by the same person, but somehow he always approached each movie almost like a stand-alone, forgetting everything he had already introduced.
It's kind of funny, the Resident Evil games have proved that you can make a nonsense story that's over the top, has characters that just disappear, and sometimes disregards the previous lore and reality as a whole yet still turn out to be amazing. It's like he did all of that but in the worst of ways. Almost kind of amazing how many movies such an awful execution produced.
Man I agree I’m 33 now and when the first one came out it was in a era where it was the better game movie made at the time also such a corny classic now lol I love it
@@Kspice9000 If you're implying that she's too masculine or something similar, then you're very wrong. Eventhough looks are subjective, it can't be denied that she's one of the most beautiful women in the world. Going back to the original comment, at least in RE2 she was the most prepared for the movie. She even nailed the way Jill walks in the games.
I like the Red Queen in the first movie, but also like the look of the one in the last movie. The White Queen also looked decent since she lacked the red filter
One nice detail in the last one is that when they have Red Queen say “you’re all going to die down here” in the final movie they merge audio of all three actresses who played her saying it, really nice little detail for people who watched from the beginning
It's weird. Milla Jovovich can act, but for some reason they never develop her character in six films. She's fine, but they could have given waaaaaaaay more to work with.
I'll always love the 1st Resident Evil movie. It's that claustrophobic horror movie vibe, trying to escape a seemingly inescapable building while the outside world is totally unaware that it's all happening. Like with 13 Ghosts, The Cube.
@Popculturedemon I was making a joke, but I haven't thought of that movie in ages! I think I was playing a game at the time that came out where you are a miner on Mars or something and all the buildings are destructible, since that's all I remember doing is destroying buildings. XD
Never forget in Apocalypse, we see a clipping in Jill’s apartment where if you zoom in and read it says Jill was suspended when she went crazy after her partner Leon Kennedy is murdered…yet Leon doesn’t even acknowledge Jill in Retribution. Lol
Learning that Matt Mercer voiced Leon Kennedy, AND WAS REJECTED THE ROLE IN THE MOVIE, hits as hard as Silent Hills being cancelled which had Junji Ito on board.
Did you also know that George fucking Romero, the grandfather of the zombie movie genre, wrote a script for a Resident Evil movie which was pretty fucking accurate to the first game and it was rejected.
@@kelise001 in terms of “Hollywood” they don’t like to see accuracy as big selling unfortunately hence why they stick to the big flashy stunts, heavy effects etc
The plotholes make this movie even better. There's so many characters with differing agendas, that they give an opening for sabotage or deception to be a key part of the movie. Always keeps me trying to rationalise nonsense moments😂🤦🏾♂️
It's cool that Michelle Rodriguez doesn't mind being typecast for these types of movies. She just legitimately likes making them, the money is probably really good too.
The same similarity also appeared on Operation Raccoon City where Nemesis used a minigun to take down Bravo Six team, the same handheld minigun he used on RE: Apocalypsd
For me the RE movies are like something you watch when you just want to chill: safe, no thrills, no feels. I've watched the third movie so many times by now that at this point it's basically just a flashy noisy thing I leave running in the background just so the room doesn't sound dead and whatever I'm doing doesn't feel as boring.
I love how silly her psychic powers just appearing is, but the pupil dilating when she uses them is actually consistent! while looking closely at the clips of her using them to hold back the flamethrower the camera purposely zooms in on her face and you can see it happen there. it really impresses me how these movies somehow keep but also break continuity so many times.
also another thing i noticed is that you incorrectly placed the timeline. in the directors commentary of the first film they state alice wakes up in the raccoon city facility about 6 months after she was taken
“For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus”- Romans 6:23 “So if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.”- Romans 10:9-10 I share this message with you so you may be saved and have peace for all eternity. Have a good day ✝️❤️
Ultimately, I see the "Resident Evil" movie series as an Alice in Wonderland retelling where the rabbit hole wipes her memory and traps her in a universe where she's a videogame to film protagonist with plot armor stronger than Wesker's Shades 😅
im so happy the stuntman won the lawsuit, i felt so bad for hearing about her accident. they should have been way more knowledgable about doing a stunt like that, WITH NO HELMET AGAINST A CRANE THAT ACTUALLY MALFUNCTIONED. probably one of the sickest IRL stunt fails i have ever heard of.
It feels like after the first movie, this turned into the Alice movies with all the game character cameos only being inserted so the audience remembers it's meant to be a Resident Evil adaptation, since the most consistent thing about the series is how it keeps forgetting it's meant to be a Resident Evil adaptation. And so that the director can show off how much more badass and super special awesome his Original Character is than all the characters you remember from the games.
Yeah but how they did tho in my opinion after the first movie it didn't make sense Jill not infected getting a cure so Albert actually has a reason to mind control her and Claire Redfield kinda make sense because she's related to Chris making good target for Albert but here's the I don't think they even explained what happened to Chris so anyway Leon character was in opinion OK and Ada wong pretty bad Albert though they did him pretty good but his death was garbage
I’m kind of in love with the fact that she shot out a super expensive camera and her first reaction was to laugh. It’s absolutely golden and very representative of how done the actors must have been with the series at that point
I love how every film in the franchise is - All the main characters do things that turn out to be failed attempts, but then Alice does the same and succeeds. It wouldn't have mattered really if there were no characters from the game. Their presence does nothing but poor fan service. RIP Claire, Jill, Leon, Ada, Chris, and Wesker.
Grenades normally don't blow people into pieces. That is why someone can jump on a grenade and save their allies. It has just enough explosive capability to send shrapnel flying. It is not designed to actually blow other things up like C-4.
There are different types of grenades. The ones you mentioned are fragmentation grenades, but high explosive grenades are a thing as well, though they are not as common as far as I'm aware.
@@wsippel Fair enough. But I think the implication of the explosion we saw was that it was obviously a frag grenade - which the TH-camr didn't realize should sort of explode like it did in that situation.
Well a typical frag grenade has a killing radius of 5 meters, which means she definitely would have been killed at the very least injured. Seeing as though she put it in his pocket, there wasn’t much there as far as blocking the blast radius meaning she definitely would have been hit by it.
One thing I found strange...Alice, as far as I know, was never featured in any of the Resident Evil games. Not DLC, skins...nothing. BUT... Milla Jovovich is featured in another Capcom game, Monster Hunter World. Her character from the Monster Hunter movie has a story mission (taking place after the movie) and skin available in the game. Just odd that Capcom never featured Alice in any of the Mercenary modes or their attempt at Resident Evil online modes. If Alice was ever in any of the game no one seem to ever talk about it.
One of my fav things about Jill Valentine’s introduction is when we first see her she’s walking into her house or apartment and it shows a board full of newspaper articles about how she’s a “disgraced police officer” and was fired from the force like.. who keeps those as mementos “oh ya that time I was publicly humiliated and lost my job that was a great time”
@@chuckn4851 you need to look up the word whining cause I don’t think you know what it means. I didn’t say it wasn’t in the games, i didn’t say i didn’t like it or that it upset me, i didn’t say anything bad about it. I said I thought it was a funny thing for a person to do is keep those news articles up on her living room wall like they’re a “live laugh love” decoration instead of in a folder or drawer. Gtfo my comment if you’re gonna be one of those incel video game gatekeepers
@@chuckn4851 Jill should have been star of this movie. The actress even held her side when low on health like in game. She did best with what they gave her. This was Jill's story. Was RE3 only resident evil with single lead? Oh well. Too late now.
So in the 3rd movie Alice says there's hardly any watereft due to the viruses effects. But suddenly in the 4th there's a prison that's lower levels are blocked due to extreme flooding and their safe haven is a ship in the middle of the ocean.
they re-con the movie so many fucking times. in 3 the earth is a desert but uh oh we need a sequel, what do we do?! fuck it just start over, put her in lush watery alaska in the next movie.
@@Parasiteve my guess is each one is set by what game came out at the time so 3 was based on the setting of RE5 and 4 based on..... you know what forget about what I said
@@GOFFBITZH666 he really doesn't have any idea what's going on but he isn't going to stop until he thinks the series is over because of what happened when he left the mortal Kombat series, he promised he wouldn't abandon something he started again
I bought the soundtrack to this movie after I saw it in theaters. I have been using the Red Queen's "You're All Going to Die Down Here" as my text alert for decades.
Fun fact, Kevlar armor is most effective against blunt impact trauma (aka most bullets) as the weave of the material condenses when hit. So it actually does make sense that things like blades are more practical when dealing with such armor because it severs individual threads. Hence the debate about "stab proof vest". Believe it or not it's easier to protect against a standard bullet than an arrow or a knife.
I wouldn't say it's "easier" to protect against a standard bullet. That's only *partly* true after the late 60s (the discovery of kevlar) and for low velocity, round tip bullets like most handgun rounds and shotgun rounds as well as a handful of rifle rounds. *Standard* Nato intermediate 5.56 ball ammo (the cheap plinking stuff used by both the military and civilians) will punch through kevlar weaves that can be reasonably worn by a person. To say nothing of higher velocity full power rifle rounds and actual armor piercing stuff.
I think the original film could easily be remade into a dope modern horror film if they drop the Resident Evil and just make it an evil AI with zombies. Call it 'The Hive'. Would be neat to see.
@@DevilDaRebel I just think they'd have to drop the IP since it's being used for other films, and also because it could thrive with a higher budget and cast as an independent project.
I remember watching the movie Years ago at my friends house with her And my family. And that scene where Alice visualises the lab i thought the cure was made from rabbits. So For some time when i would see a game or a movie about a virus i would think " Just get some rabbits."
Matt Mercer not getting the role of Leon when he voiced the character is like the time Charlie Chaplin lost a Chaplin lookalike contest. Also, small correction, the two SMGs Jill is holding during the NPC joke aren't actually UZIs, but a pair of Skorpions, which are Czech-made SMGs, mostly good for spray-and-praying at close range. Considering she is firing into a building with lots of cover, yeah...she's either a dumbass or hoping for Fortune to favour her shots.
@@xxxhq2805 They also imply they've got a bit of the sticky, with Johnny cage asking LJ if he's got any of the alternative during the convoy scenes I'm pretty sure. It's a joint.

I think the most realistic thing in these movies is how quick Alice is to believe information considering how many times she was knocked out and given amnesia, her brain has to be pretty darn scrambled right?
You can tell Mila was less and less interested in these by looking at the "making of" extras on the DVDs. In the First couple she sounds enthused, then perfunctory, then doesn't even bother appearing in the last 2
The double reload had me in tears 😂 That sums up the entire live action franchise for me its like they straight up saying "we have no idea what we are doing but we are doing it in style!"
It really does help that Milla Jovovich is stunning. There's only so many times you could do shots of her face, mouth open, eyes glaring whilst another character talks.
This is one of my favorite videos ever. I rewatch it at least every few months. Elvis is so funny. His memeified editing style is perfect and him pointing out how ridiculous every moment is gives me life. Keep up the incredible work, my dude.
You can have a magazine with a crappy follower that doesn't engage the slide lock or you can unwillingly depress the slide release button with your left thumb, depending on where you rest it in your grip, i've had both happen and cause the slide to go into battery on an empty magazine.
The thing that gets me is how is Umbrella creating all these underground facilities. It makes no sense from a structure standpoint. You have to dig up a shit ton of earth, place your facility in a way that the surrounding earth doesn't crush it, then cover it up. It'd be more believable if their facilities were underwater or in the sky. Bioshock.
Also, the world was pretty much turned to shit in Extinction so how are they finding the time, people, ressources to be making and upkeeping all thos facilities/new tech makes 0 sense. I understand that the movies were made over a decade spawn but really, the earth population is reduced to 4k but someone is still designing new computer screens and glasses? lmao
Having one big ass base underground would make sense, or some dug into mountains, caves. But having several underwater with some way to connect them would of made alot more sense yeah
As someone who works in a company I can actually explain to you why the red queen was able to kill all the people in the umbrella facility in movie 1. They were not actually employees, but contractors :D
That, or she considered them leaving the facility would endanger the world because they're infected. But that doesn't explain why she was mostly fine with Wesker until he got fired
@@cloroxusthestainlessone4324 it was a joke about bureaucracy XD how even if the red queen was programmed to 'not kill Umbrella EMPLOYEES', contactors would not be employees and thus killable
That was the rage on the mid 2000's, it's called "ricing" and it was made popular by the Fast and Furious franchise. These are rims that contain another hubcap that is almost floating and will look stationary when the car moves, then moves when you hit the brakes. Every car guy hates these 😂
I like how in that novelization they just went "yeah all these iconic characters from the games everybody loves? They're dead lmao fuck you" really makes you feel happy
I can’t believe they didn’t even add some kind of explanation in Final Chapter as to where Jill, Ada, Leon and Chris were. I looked it up and apparently they all just “die offscreen” because *that’s* convenient.

@@youtubeshadowbannedmylasta2629 then you have painfully bad taste, my guy. I know the 'in' thing for you kids to do is to hate on whatever is currently popular or trending, or in this case, Disney, but every single Resident Evil game was the most animefied garbage storytelling there is. So if that's your jam, lol'd. Anime fans do have low bars and non-existent frontal lobes, so checks out. But your taste is trash and you're being disingenuous when you say garbage like Resident Evil is more consistent storytelling than Hollywood. No doubt Hollywood is uncreative and formulaic right now, but nothing will ever be as bad as the stories produced through an anime lense.
I just can't get over how in a resident evil movie, where Alice could have had nearly any kind of superhuman power a B.O.W has had, they give her psychic powers. Psychic powers that (to my knowledge) have never appeared in any resident evil games. Literally why?
The biggest insult was that alice wasnt just a mary sue, she upstaged all the original game characters. Literally none of the game character get to kill the big bads they fight, alice always swoops in and does it for them.
I don't think RE movies were about original characters at all. I watched them without any knowledge of games, and not a single character seemed like a equal level protagonist to alice, just really bad ass side characters. This might be triggering for original fans, but I respect this approach to shoehorning characters at detriment of cohesive plot.
It was the same thing with Mission Impossible, which turned Ethan Hunt, a character who never existed in the source material, into the protagonist, and in the first film he defeats Phelps, the original protag of MI. Alice is the protagonist of the story, and the story naturally revolves her much like it does for Ethan Hunt. People don't wanna see side characters stop the terrorist. They wanna see Ethan Hunt, movie OC, do it.
It’s rumoured that as Wes wrote each movie, he used a combination inspiration system that included having a trusted friend at his side as he wrote who would suddenly and unexpectedly feed him huge, thick lines of cocaine then kick him very hard in his balls before hitting him over the head with a bat then Wes would sit back down at his laptop and continue writing and this would happen multiple times every day and I think the results speak for themselves.
Damn it’s like Alice is some ridiculously perfect Mary Sue character…it’s almost as if the director had some form of romantic relationship with the actress playing Alice so he made her invincible to ensure she had a franchise under her belt 🤔
@@justchilin_ Jill was my fave and Ada. But Alice did grow on me. She just needs to be action hero smart and fight. I forgot she had psychic powers! What happened to that! Lol.
Or maybe she's just not very bright because she's the clone of a child right ? If I followed correctly Alicia grew old because of her disease not really naturally right ? So she was cloned while still having a child's brain ?
Paul Wes Anderson made an entire series of 6 movies with his wife Milla Jovovich, and that's honestly the most heartwarming shit. I love this popcorn entertainment movie stuff and I'm sad to see that they're slowly going away. I grew up watching Milla Jovovich and Kate Beckinsale dominate the cheesy action screen for a generation and I wouldn't regret any of it. I love Apocalypse and Afterlife, I revisit them pretty much every year and they still hold up. Hopefully I'll live long enough to see these movies get a stronger appreciation, if not I'll follow Jovovich's career anywhere.
Not really heartwarming. SHows you how nepotistic Hollywood is. People with talent get completely ignored all the time; it's about who you know, and who you're banging. Milla Jovovich can't act for shit.
These are literally my comfort movies. When I broke up with my ex girlfriend the national Italian TV channel was playing like a marathon of all the Resident Evil movies and I started watching them. They were so campy and gave me the relief I was looking for lmaooo.
These movies are the perfect weapon against the whole “Look how much money this movie made! That means its good” argument. Just like the whole transformer series of movies.
I remember a female friend saying she was a big fan of the series and when I asked her if she knew Alice had never been in any of the video games, she had no clue. It's ludicrous to think a 6 movie franchise based on a video game has a main protagonist that was never in any of the games. While it didn't start as such, It just ended up being action vehicles for Paul WS Anderson's wife and pretty much vanity projects. It's probably why the whole series is so incoherent because the importance was put on making Milla Jovovich a super fighting machine badass rather than any actual plot. She's the female Vin Diesel and this is her Fast and the Furious.
But do people really watch these types of movies for the plot to begin with? Granted it shouldn't be total shit but their main focus is action since it's an action movie. And Mila Jovovich is hot so I don't mind staring at her in pretty much any movie she's in.
Im curious to know behind the scenes…Alice is such a popular character you would think Capcom would magically include/retcon her into the games. But even sill after 20 years they are like “we dont know her” meanwhile the films kill off ever main character from the series save for Claire almost seemingly out of spite. There was no reason why the Final Chapter could have been a battle royal of all the game character in the film to combine together rather than another stand alone glow up film for the directors wife.
At least in the F&F flicks, characters other than Toreto get to do cool things and succeed. In the RE movies, everyone is fucking useless outside of Alice, which is fucking annoying.
You know you picked the right actor for a movie, when they go and play the game so you understand the character. I'd be willing to bet that Jill holding her side like that, wasn't even a directed thing. I bet she did that because she played the game, and knew the character so well. That may not be the case... but with her dedication... it wouldn't surprise me
the same goes to Justin Chatwin, the actor who played Goku in that god awful Dragonball: Evolution. He's a big fan and even revise the manga countless times in preparation for the role, but when he got the script that look nothing like him, he acted either confused, or didn't give a crap.
The third movie raises questions about the costuming budget for Umbrella. How many identical Alice outfits did they have on standby? Are they all tailor-made? Did they buy the entire stock of dresses and boots from two companies?
Claire pretty much gave up getting Leon anyway, even in the lore. It wasn't worth the effort(unless you belong to the NWF gang). What's actually crazy was Leon just casually grabbing Ada's leg. That would have absolutely never happened.
I gotta say how surprised I was at the end of the second movie when I realized that the comic relief black guy was still alive. Truly inspiring stuff lol
The first movie was perfect. Loved it. Sometimes studios need to realize that every movie does not need to become a franchise. Each of the subsequent movies each had there enjoyable moments. I still haven't figured out how the virus dries up the waters of earth.
I’m guessing the resources became dry cuz literally everyone was clamoring for them, 3 years with zombies roaming around earth and supplies running dry faster than ever? Not much of a stretch
@@ninjanibba4259 that’s not how water works especially not oceans, have you heard of the water cycle? Water doesn’t get used up it gets peed out, evaporated, and rained to be used again.
These movies were alot of absurd fun. The level of ridiculousness didn't bother me in the least. A few beers, a few friends, and alot of laughs. Movies were perfect.
These are the kind of movies you watch when you’re drunk and are like “let’s watch something we don’t need to pay attention to” and then it becomes friken hilarious because your drunk ass just somehow sees all the flaws and weird shit, yet it’s still an entertaining movie series to watch. My favourite scene is her using her magic woowoo brain powers to burn a bunch of birds in the sky
@@elenalizabeth the fire effects are one of the stronger CGI elements of the films imo. That scene is actually pretty awesome and looks great; in addition to a little goofy lmao
I love these movies because of how much my Dad loves them. They're sooooo bad, but we have so much fun watching them. I think we even saw the 4th one in the theatres twice, because my brother couldn't make it the first time.
I like to think that all these thousands of umbrella security guards that get moved down in every movie are played by the same 12 dudes through all these films.
The final chapter was so surreal. I actually enjoyed it, but it was like the final chapter to a story that was never told because it ignores almost everything that happens in the previous 5 movies lol
Retribution was basically them going "fuck it lets have some fun" and fun was indeed had, i love it so much, its so stupid and over the top, like using the plagas was just there for that insane chase setpeice and im totally on board lol
@@thejohnnyquartz yeah just fully embrace the madness, its why final chapter pissed me off so much, i wanted a dumb action finale that just threw it all at us but we got so much dumb shit by trying to 'fix' the plot which just fuckin ruined it beyond belief
I tried to embrace it, but it's too fucking stupid to allow me to do it. Plus it completely disrespects the characters of Barry and Leon, so this movie can go fuck itself.
FINALLY, its so good to see somone who understands that the first one isnt THAT bad, like i personally think its decent, and in all honesty the cgi looks fine to me cuz its not so overused like it is in literally every movie after it, i feel like if it wasn't attached to all the garbage sequels, people would warm up to it a lil more
I always thought that maybe Wesker was never the “main” guy and only a clone of him. I like to think the Wesker in Extinction and the one in retribution are two different clones. Also I feel like Wesker knows the Isaac he talks to isn’t the real one. Because of a line of dialogue he says in retribution
Ok, I've finally finished watching the 2 full hours of this amazing review video. This was a great journey, and I enjoyed revisiting the movies with your commentary, critics, and all the details and fails of these movies. Amazing job!!
Ngl seeing the Wesker fight in the movie and knowing it's almost a shot for shot recreation of the same fight in the game, with only one character changed out, was really fun.
You nailed it in the end. With these movies, just switch your brain off, and enjoy the action. They don't follow a cohesive time line, so just treat them as a bunch of short stories, in an overall larger setting. I genuinely like them all.
That weird plot point where Claire is personally offended that Alice would believe the Red Queen- a character she's only possibly heard of but never saw- is such a move from like, a 15 year old's fanfic, where they just assume all the main characters might as well be a hivemind. They're all important, so they'd all be on the same page about everything.
People forget that the first Resident Evil movie revived the zombie genre. Without the first movie, we wouldn't have The Walking Dead, Shaun of the Dead or even Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake.
The Walking Dead- based on the graphic novel The Walking Dead, which was inspired by Night of the Living Dead to the extent that it was published in black and white because Night of the Living Dead was a black and white film- Shaun of the Dead- inspired by Night of the Living Dead- and Dawn of the Dead- based on Dawn of the Dead- all of which have more in common with each other than with Resident Evil were totally brought about because of it. If there is any of these with some connection to Resident Evil, it's Shaun of the Dead, because in Spaced, also written and directed by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, they had an episode with a character playing Resident Evil 2 and hallucinating about zombies because of sleep deprivation and free wine. That episode came out before the Resident Evil film did, in 1999, and is the primary root of Shaun of the Dead, with multiple jokes in Shaun of the Dead calling back to it. We very much would still have all of those things without the film adaptations of Resident Evil. I daresay they would still be as popular as they are without it, too, as they stand easily apart from Resident Evil.
And how The Final Chapter was a shit money and the team still didn't compensate her for injuries. On top of that someone died during filming. Let that sink in.

What an original comment 😐
Right and I’m on the train this is perfect !
With how Alice was dressed in the first film, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she was meant to be Ada Wong or a variation of the character.
Possibly or a genderbent Leon, her abilities (minus the stupid psychic bs) are like RE4 Leon's. Her hair color looks like his, especially at the end with the side bang comeover.
@@kenzieuchiha1191 But it couldn't be either! Leon had blonde hair and abilities in RE4 and Ada's dress was also like Alice's in RE4, But RE4 came out in 2005 while the 1st movie where Alice has that appearance came out in 2002
I always thought she was inspired from Jill Valentine
@@maliha3305 I wouldn't be surprised if it was a mix of multiple characters. Because the red dress gives me Ada Wong vibes and you pointed it out that Alice is like Jill Valentine. And there's kinda a little bit of Claire Redfield in her too.
@@tjjordan4207 Or you all see that she is just a own character and done lmao
One of the funny things about Leon being added into the series is that the first or second movie actually show an easter egg revealing that he's dead.
First time they show Jill in second movie, on newspaper clip you can see it said that her partner Leon. S. Kennedy got killed in action.
Plot twist: he faked his death
I think paul does not consider what's next for the sequel thats why the sequel keep retconning the previous movie or sometimes completely disregard it. When the 1st movie came out, I always thought it had potential to stand on its own. No character from the game etc, build its own lore or maybe show things that was not shown in the game
@@sunadokei69 I still hold that the first movie was pretty fucking baller. It was what actually got me into Resident Evil. And you're right if it had just kept breaking new ground that was related to the games but not trampling on them (Like they immediately did in the second movie) it had such potential. That said.... man, can we go back to the shitty Alice RE movies now...? That new one.... oh god it's so bad.

Funny enough, the scene where she sprints down the side of the building is 100% possible. When I was in infantry school for the Army we had a drill sergeant who did EXACTLY that on the repel tower. It was super badass.
What I have never figured out is how people could expect her to do that without training. It should have been obvious that she was getting her training implanted, which would have lead to the obvious conclusion that she was a clone all the way back then.
I also witnessed it in basic. Supposedly it was called Aussie style.
@@roberthicks1612 She had amnesia, so it could be argued that maybe she could have been like a super spy or something. That would explain why she's so good at fighting.
But of course they did the psychic powers later.
@@NSFSponsor Possible, but the point is, they never tried to explain how someone could be that well trained. She was suppose to be a security agent guarding the emergency door to the hive. I can not imagine people in that position being trained to the level she would have to have been.
The thing is, there are so many things that scream that we did not have the full picture in the first movie. Yet when those things are finally explained in the last movie, critics call it retconning. I believe they were planned that way the entire time. Some slight details might have been changed, but it does not change what the first movie showed. By the time the second movie came out, I totally expected she was a clone.
For example, the red queen was suppose to be modeled on a girl who was the same age, YET she had been in control of the facility for longer than the girl had been alive? The man that developed the virus was conveniently in a wheel chair where he could be easily manipulated. The guy in charge even admitted they had been watching him the entire time, meaning that not only were they wanting him to do what he did, they had manipulated him into doing it. UNLESS all three were clones, it did not make sense.
@@bigbadgammagnome hope you enjoyed the laugh
I will always describe these films as the visual version of someone's Resident Evil fanfiction. Where their OC character is the most special person in the world, and all of the characters from the franchise repeatedly acknowledge how special their OC character is.
Not-so-fun fact, the crew member who was crushed by a jeep was an expecting father. And the stuntwoman who was grievously injured was a veteran of the industry, she was Gal Gadot's double in Wonder Woman among many other gigs.
To think, a top professional wouldn't be left permanently crippled, unable to work in her field, and a child wouldn't have to grow up fatherless, with both families not having to fight tooth and nail for deserved compensation, and the only thing we'd have to sacrifice for that is Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
I didn't know I could hate RE: the final chapter more than I already am, but here we are. That's truly awful, I'm glad I didn't spend a single cent on this garbage 😭
Well, you cannot blame the movie or the crew itself. Even if they get hurt, that’s what they are getting paid for, they do the dangerous scenes that no one else can do. In this case you’re writing it like it was the movie’s fault, but saying that isn’t valid unless you specify in which context it could be the movie’s fault (example: they had a tight schedule and they rushed them causing injuries. They knew it was too dangerous but they were forced to do it, etc.) my point is that you cannot blame the movie or crew for a stuntman or woman getting hurt, which is just a natural part of their job.
@@petesolorzano6123 are you serious? The natural part of their job is to enact stunts in highly controlled environments, not risk their lives. It's literally just for entertainment, the stuntpersons are supposed to be thoroughly trained, and if anything happens to them that's not a direct result of their mistake, it's the fault of the production. And even if they make mistakes there should be safeguards and rigorous checks, cause again, IT'S JUST A MOVIE. They're not firefighters or soldiers. No one should be getting hurt, let alone seriously maimed or killed to film a shitty zombie movie.
But that was just in general. If you want to read the Hollywood Reporter article on it, the Resident Evil franchise is notorious for being a dangerous production. The stuntwoman who lost her arm was slated to film a totally different scene altogether and got to know at the last minute that instead it would be a motorbike scene. She then lost her arm cause the crane operator apparently fucked up. The male crew member who was killed had his lungs crushed by a Humvee that just slid off a platform. And he wasn't even a stuntman, so your excuse doesn't work for this accident at all. There was a different injury on the same set as well, and dozens of people have been injured on set in the previous RE movies.
So yeah, I'm blaming the millionaire piece of shit producers who consistently can't make sure the sets for their multi-billion dollar movie franchise are safe enough that people don't lose their limbs, or lives. Crew members have literally spelled out that the production was rushed, and safety precautions ignored. Still think I'm wrong to blame them?
@@ashb7 I think you're wrong to call them "multi billion dollar movies".
They're not nearly that popular.
The harm to stunt actors is awful, but you can't justify magnifying their value by a factor of 100. That shit is just as reprehensible as the people responsible for the harm done.
@@armouredjester1622 except I didn't say "multi billion dollar movies", did I? If you're gonna use quotes, at least make sure you quote me right. I said multi-billion dollar movie FRANCHISE, and seeing as the worldwide box office for the RE franchise is a bit over $1.2 billion, my mistake was the "multi" part. Still, that's no chump change. I wouldn't want even an indie film with a $1000 budget to place anyone's life in serious danger.
Also, holy shit, are you saying me making an error on a YT comment as to how much money the RE franchise made is equally as reprehensible as the gross negligence of millionaire Hollywood producers who got people dismembered and killed? Is that what you're fucking saying lmao?

Going back to the original comment, at least in RE2 she was the most prepared for the movie. She even nailed the way Jill walks in the games.
Let’s be honest, the original, dead-eyed red queen with the dated cgi was way more affective aesthetically than what we got in the later films
I like the Red Queen in the first movie, but also like the look of the one in the last movie. The White Queen also looked decent since she lacked the red filter
@@TAMAMO-VIRUS the white queen looked more like a ghost but I’m kinda ok with it tbh 😂
The first one will always be epic in my opinion. It was such a great movie
It was perfectly uncanny and it made the overall feel of the AI so much more engaging visually.
One nice detail in the last one is that when they have Red Queen say “you’re all going to die down here” in the final movie they merge audio of all three actresses who played her saying it, really nice little detail for people who watched from the beginning
Wait a second, the zombie dogs were played by real dogs wearing makeup? This whole time, I thought they were CGI!
It's weird. Milla Jovovich can act, but for some reason they never develop her character in six films. She's fine, but they could have given waaaaaaaay more to work with.

That was caused by the corona virus.
As well as characters who survive the last movies just up and disappearing without even a mention on how or why
Yea your right
I'll always love the 1st Resident Evil movie. It's that claustrophobic horror movie vibe, trying to escape a seemingly inescapable building while the outside world is totally unaware that it's all happening. Like with 13 Ghosts, The Cube.
13 Ghosts, The Cube, my mother...
Yeah the first 1 is still definitely the best one. Also the only one where she isn't an unstoppable demi god lol.
Agreed
@Popculturedemon I was making a joke, but I haven't thought of that movie in ages! I think I was playing a game at the time that came out where you are a miner on Mars or something and all the buildings are destructible, since that's all I remember doing is destroying buildings. XD
It feels like movies like that were only made in the late 90s and early 00s and have completely disappeared since.
Never forget in Apocalypse, we see a clipping in Jill’s apartment where if you zoom in and read it says Jill was suspended when she went crazy after her partner Leon Kennedy is murdered…yet Leon doesn’t even acknowledge Jill in Retribution. Lol
Learning that Matt Mercer voiced Leon Kennedy, AND WAS REJECTED THE ROLE IN THE MOVIE, hits as hard as Silent Hills being cancelled which had Junji Ito on board.
NNNOOOO REALLY? I would have watched that movie if they had Matt Mercer!!!!!
I thought for a second you meant Silent Hill f was cancelled and my heart PLUMMETED
Did you also know that George fucking Romero, the grandfather of the zombie movie genre, wrote a script for a Resident Evil movie which was pretty fucking accurate to the first game and it was rejected.

I mean compared to most video game movie these movie at least promise a good time. Besides Capcom themselves haven't always stuck to continuity.
also another thing i noticed is that you incorrectly placed the timeline. in the directors commentary of the first film they state alice wakes up in the raccoon city facility about 6 months after she was taken

It feels like after the first movie, this turned into the Alice movies with all the game character cameos only being inserted so the audience remembers it's meant to be a Resident Evil adaptation, since the most consistent thing about the series is how it keeps forgetting it's meant to be a Resident Evil adaptation. And so that the director can show off how much more badass and super special awesome his Original Character is than all the characters you remember from the games.

@@j.yang7 That's exactly what it is. Movie adaptations are basically licensed fanfiction.

Grenades normally don't blow people into pieces. That is why someone can jump on a grenade and save their allies. It has just enough explosive capability to send shrapnel flying. It is not designed to actually blow other things up like C-4.
There are different types of grenades. The ones you mentioned are fragmentation grenades, but high explosive grenades are a thing as well, though they are not as common as far as I'm aware.
@@wsippel Fair enough. But I think the implication of the explosion we saw was that it was obviously a frag grenade - which the TH-camr didn't realize should sort of explode like it did in that situation.
@@wsippel ohh, so that's why they're called frag grenade

Well a typical frag grenade has a killing radius of 5 meters, which means she definitely would have been killed at the very least injured. Seeing as though she put it in his pocket, there wasn’t much there as far as blocking the blast radius meaning she definitely would have been hit by it.

Fun fact, Kevlar armor is most effective against blunt impact trauma (aka most bullets) as the weave of the material condenses when hit. So it actually does make sense that things like blades are more practical when dealing with such armor because it severs individual threads. Hence the debate about "stab proof vest". Believe it or not it's easier to protect against a standard bullet than an arrow or a knife.
Or you could just use a rifle, as their bullets are sharp and not blunt like pistol ones.
We live in the Dune world, where shields only protect against bullets, not blades.
I can confirm, I once got arrow in the knee.
I wouldn't say it's "easier" to protect against a standard bullet. That's only *partly* true after the late 60s (the discovery of kevlar) and for low velocity, round tip bullets like most handgun rounds and shotgun rounds as well as a handful of rifle rounds.
*Standard* Nato intermediate 5.56 ball ammo (the cheap plinking stuff used by both the military and civilians) will punch through kevlar weaves that can be reasonably worn by a person. To say nothing of higher velocity full power rifle rounds and actual armor piercing stuff.
@@thespectator5259 yeah that's why military uses armor plates and not just kevlar
I think the original film could easily be remade into a dope modern horror film if they drop the Resident Evil and just make it an evil AI with zombies. Call it 'The Hive'. Would be neat to see.

I remember watching the movie Years ago at my friends house with her And my family. And that scene where Alice visualises the lab i thought the cure was made from rabbits. So For some time when i would see a game or a movie about a virus i would think " Just get some rabbits."
Matt Mercer not getting the role of Leon when he voiced the character is like the time Charlie Chaplin lost a Chaplin lookalike contest.
Also, small correction, the two SMGs Jill is holding during the NPC joke aren't actually UZIs, but a pair of Skorpions, which are Czech-made SMGs, mostly good for spray-and-praying at close range. Considering she is firing into a building with lots of cover, yeah...she's either a dumbass or hoping for Fortune to favour her shots.

The thing that gets me is how is Umbrella creating all these underground facilities. It makes no sense from a structure standpoint. You have to dig up a shit ton of earth, place your facility in a way that the surrounding earth doesn't crush it, then cover it up.
It'd be more believable if their facilities were underwater or in the sky.
Bioshock.
Nah nah i hear yuh but the fact you can only go up or down was the goal i guess for the suspense
Also, the world was pretty much turned to shit in Extinction so how are they finding the time, people, ressources to be making and upkeeping all thos facilities/new tech makes 0 sense. I understand that the movies were made over a decade spawn but really, the earth population is reduced to 4k but someone is still designing new computer screens and glasses? lmao
Having one big ass base underground would make sense, or some dug into mountains, caves.
But having several underwater with some way to connect them would of made alot more sense yeah

As someone who works in a company I can actually explain to you why the red queen was able to kill all the people in the umbrella facility in movie 1. They were not actually employees, but contractors :D
That, or she considered them leaving the facility would endanger the world because they're infected. But that doesn't explain why she was mostly fine with Wesker until he got fired
This better be a Clerks reference lol
I thought it was to protect the city and make sure the outbreak didn't escape. An ends justifies the means kind of thing

1:29:48 I like how Alice is so OP that she makes the wheel of her car spin even though she is standing still.
This is normal, it's the style of this wheel, every time the car stops it keeps running.

I just can't get over how in a resident evil movie, where Alice could have had nearly any kind of superhuman power a B.O.W has had, they give her psychic powers. Psychic powers that (to my knowledge) have never appeared in any resident evil games. Literally why?
closest thing to ever come close to this was eveline, but it was way different, since she can only control people infected by mold
That's not entirely true, RE Gaiden exists
Ethan has psychic powers for not being reactive to stuff at all
Because they have literally nothing to do with the Resident Evil games. The name was strictly for marketing.

The biggest insult was that alice wasnt just a mary sue, she upstaged all the original game characters. Literally none of the game character get to kill the big bads they fight, alice always swoops in and does it for them.
Leon and Ada for fucking sure lol. Eaten by a random monster Alice smiles at at the end? I love the movies but finding that out irritates me tbh.
I don't think RE movies were about original characters at all. I watched them without any knowledge of games, and not a single character seemed like a equal level protagonist to alice, just really bad ass side characters. This might be triggering for original fans, but I respect this approach to shoehorning characters at detriment of cohesive plot.
It was the same thing with Mission Impossible, which turned Ethan Hunt, a character who never existed in the source material, into the protagonist, and in the first film he defeats Phelps, the original protag of MI. Alice is the protagonist of the story, and the story naturally revolves her much like it does for Ethan Hunt. People don't wanna see side characters stop the terrorist. They wanna see Ethan Hunt, movie OC, do it.
@@kirathekillernote2173 not to mention the movies are still a guilty pleasure.
It’s rumoured that as Wes wrote each movie, he used a combination inspiration system that included having a trusted friend at his side as he wrote who would suddenly and unexpectedly feed him huge, thick lines of cocaine then kick him very hard in his balls before hitting him over the head with a bat then Wes would sit back down at his laptop and continue writing and this would happen multiple times every day and I think the results speak for themselves.
Damn it’s like Alice is some ridiculously perfect Mary Sue character…it’s almost as if the director had some form of romantic relationship with the actress playing Alice so he made her invincible to ensure she had a franchise under her belt 🤔
Yeaaaaah. Very interesting.🤔
nooooo.... that's farfetched
That's indeed the case.
tHAT IS SO CRAZY imagine your man doing that for you. Giving you an entire movie franchise. damn.
I also remember this being the case.... that's why she was the main character bc the director who was seeing her.

Paul Wes Anderson made an entire series of 6 movies with his wife Milla Jovovich, and that's honestly the most heartwarming shit. I love this popcorn entertainment movie stuff and I'm sad to see that they're slowly going away. I grew up watching Milla Jovovich and Kate Beckinsale dominate the cheesy action screen for a generation and I wouldn't regret any of it. I love Apocalypse and Afterlife, I revisit them pretty much every year and they still hold up. Hopefully I'll live long enough to see these movies get a stronger appreciation, if not I'll follow Jovovich's career anywhere.
Wholesome and groovy :)

At the end of afterlife before you see Luthers alive you can see Weskers parachute. So he apparently made it out before the heliplane exploded
I remember a female friend saying she was a big fan of the series and when I asked her if she knew Alice had never been in any of the video games, she had no clue. It's ludicrous to think a 6 movie franchise based on a video game has a main protagonist that was never in any of the games. While it didn't start as such, It just ended up being action vehicles for Paul WS Anderson's wife and pretty much vanity projects. It's probably why the whole series is so incoherent because the importance was put on making Milla Jovovich a super fighting machine badass rather than any actual plot. She's the female Vin Diesel and this is her Fast and the Furious.
Fair
But do people really watch these types of movies for the plot to begin with? Granted it shouldn't be total shit but their main focus is action since it's an action movie. And Mila Jovovich is hot so I don't mind staring at her in pretty much any movie she's in.
Im curious to know behind the scenes…Alice is such a popular character you would think Capcom would magically include/retcon her into the games. But even sill after 20 years they are like “we dont know her” meanwhile the films kill off ever main character from the series save for Claire almost seemingly out of spite. There was no reason why the Final Chapter could have been a battle royal of all the game character in the film to combine together rather than another stand alone glow up film for the directors wife.
She's a better actress than Vin Diesel though.
At least in the F&F flicks, characters other than Toreto get to do cool things and succeed. In the RE movies, everyone is fucking useless outside of Alice, which is fucking annoying.
I really wanted Mila to be cast as Captain Marvel, her acting and ability to kick the life out of anything is criminally under rated.
I like Milla, but she's getting old and it's starting to show.

You know you picked the right actor for a movie, when they go and play the game so you understand the character. I'd be willing to bet that Jill holding her side like that, wasn't even a directed thing. I bet she did that because she played the game, and knew the character so well. That may not be the case... but with her dedication... it wouldn't surprise me
or when the main protagonist actor marries the director lol
He's she added that herself as she loved jills idle animation
the same goes to Justin Chatwin, the actor who played Goku in that god awful Dragonball: Evolution. He's a big fan and even revise the manga countless times in preparation for the role, but when he got the script that look nothing like him, he acted either confused, or didn't give a crap.

That weird plot point where Claire is personally offended that Alice would believe the Red Queen- a character she's only possibly heard of but never saw- is such a move from like, a 15 year old's fanfic, where they just assume all the main characters might as well be a hivemind. They're all important, so they'd all be on the same page about everything.
People forget that the first Resident Evil movie revived the zombie genre. Without the first movie, we wouldn't have The Walking Dead, Shaun of the Dead or even Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake.
Proof?
@@Partemis sugondese
The Walking Dead- based on the graphic novel The Walking Dead, which was inspired by Night of the Living Dead to the extent that it was published in black and white because Night of the Living Dead was a black and white film- Shaun of the Dead- inspired by Night of the Living Dead- and Dawn of the Dead- based on Dawn of the Dead- all of which have more in common with each other than with Resident Evil were totally brought about because of it. If there is any of these with some connection to Resident Evil, it's Shaun of the Dead, because in Spaced, also written and directed by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, they had an episode with a character playing Resident Evil 2 and hallucinating about zombies because of sleep deprivation and free wine. That episode came out before the Resident Evil film did, in 1999, and is the primary root of Shaun of the Dead, with multiple jokes in Shaun of the Dead calling back to it.
We very much would still have all of those things without the film adaptations of Resident Evil. I daresay they would still be as popular as they are without it, too, as they stand easily apart from Resident Evil.

- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.
- Hear about Frankie?
- Yeah.
- You going to the funeral?
- No, I'm not going.
Everybody knows,
sting someone, you die.
Don't waste it on a squirrel.
Such a hothead.
I guess he could have
just gotten out of the way.
I love this incorporating
an amusement park into our day.
That's why we don't need vacations.
Boy, quite a bit of pomp...
under the circumstances.
- Well, Adam, today we are men.
- We are!
- Bee-men.
- Amen!
Hallelujah!
Students, faculty, distinguished bees,
please welcome Dean Buzzwell.
Welcome, New Hive Oity
graduating class of...
...9:15.
That concludes our ceremonies.
And begins your career
at Honex Industries!
Will we pick ourjob today?
I heard it's just orientation.
Heads up! Here we go.
Keep your hands and antennas
inside the tram at all times.
- Wonder what it'll be like?
- A little scary.
Welcome to Honex,
a division of Honesco
and a part of the Hexagon Group.
This is it!
Wow.
Wow.
We know that you, as a bee,
have worked your whole life
to get to the point where you
can work for your whole life.
Honey begins when our valiant Pollen
Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.
Our top-secret formula
is automatically color-corrected,
scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured
into this soothing sweet syrup
with its distinctive
golden glow you know as...
Honey!
- That girl was hot.
- She's my cousin!
- She is?
- Yes, we're all cousins.
- Right. You're right.
- At Honex, we constantly strive
to improve every aspect
of bee existence.
These bees are stress-testing
a new helmet technology.
- What do you think he makes?
- Not enough.
Here we have our latest advancement,
the Krelman.
- What does that do?
- Oatches that little strand of honey
that hangs after you pour it.
Saves us millions.
Oan anyone work on the Krelman?
Of course. Most bee jobs are
small ones. But bees know
that every small job,
if it's done well, means a lot.
But choose carefully
because you'll stay in the job
you pick for the rest of your life.
The same job the rest of your life?
I didn't know that.
What's the difference?
You'll be happy to know that bees,
as a species, haven't had one day off
in 27 million years.
So you'll just work us to death?
We'll sure try.
Wow! That blew my mind!
"What's the difference?"
How can you say that?
One job forever?
That's an insane choice to have to make.
I'm relieved. Now we only have
to make one decision in life.
But, Adam, how could they
never have told us that?
Why would you question anything?
We're bees.
We're the most perfectly
functioning society on Earth.
You ever think maybe things
work a little too well here?
Like what? Give me one example.
I don't know. But you know
what I'm talking about.
Please clear the gate.
Royal Nectar Force on approach.
Wait a second. Oheck it out.
- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!
- Wow.
I've never seen them this close.
They know what it's like
outside the hive.
Yeah, but some don't come back.
- Hey, Jocks!
- Hi, Jocks!
You guys did great!
You're monsters!
You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!
- I wonder where they were.
- I don't know.
Their day's not planned.
Outside the hive, flying who knows
where, doing who knows what.
You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen
Jock. You have to be bred for that.
Right.
Look. That's more pollen
than you and I will see in a lifetime.
It's just a status symbol.
Bees make too much of it.
Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it
and the ladies see you wearing it.
Those ladies?
Aren't they our cousins too?
Distant. Distant.
Look at these two.
- Oouple of Hive Harrys.
- Let's have fun with them.
It must be dangerous
being a Pollen Jock.
Yeah. Once a bear pinned me
against a mushroom!
He had a paw on my throat,
and with the other, he was slapping me!
- Oh, my!
- I never thought I'd knock him out.
What were you doing during this?
Trying to alert the authorities.
I can autograph that.
A little gusty out there today,
wasn't it, comrades?
Yeah. Gusty.
We're hitting a sunflower patch
six miles from here tomorrow.
- Six miles, huh?
- Barry!
A puddle jump for us,
but maybe you're not up for it.
- Maybe I am.
- You are not!
We're going 0900 at J-Gate.
What do you think, buzzy-boy?
Are you bee enough?
I might be. It all depends
on what 0900 means.
Hey, Honex!
Dad, you surprised me.
You decide what you're interested in?
- Well, there's a lot of choices.
- But you only get one.
Do you ever get bored
doing the same job every day?
Son, let me tell you about stirring.
You grab that stick, and you just
move it around, and you stir it around.
You get yourself into a rhythm.
It's a beautiful thing.
You know, Dad,
the more I think about it,
I didn't know that, but it's nice that they influenced Y2K with modern (non-brain specific hungry) zombies.
From now on, when I see Resident Evil I'll just think about that stunt woman who had the accident. I wish her all the best and to stay strong.
And how The Final Chapter was a shit money and the team still didn't compensate her for injuries. On top of that someone died during filming. Let that sink in.
Afterlife is definitely my favourite in the series, mostly because of the sheer insanity and surprisingly good cinematography at times
I've watched Afterlife the most. The 1st 3 were dope then it got really corny.
Omg mine too! I love afterlife. Love the look of the fillm
i thought afterlife had the best soundtrack out of all the movies, very unique.
@@abbochan4372 For me nothing beats flying through the air, it's just such a vibe
@@abbochan4372 absolutely love the look and sound over the rest. At times it looks like a music video( bathroom fight sequence)
The beast: *Doesn't like light*
The ambient lighting: *Am I a joke to you?*
