    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The makeup department and crew had a hard time dealing with the dogs, who kept licking the zombie makeup, blood and meat off of themselves.
    • Goofs
      (at around 58 mins) The Red Queen tells the survivors that the human body remains active even during death, producing new cells such as hair and nails. This is a common misconception, as the skin of a dead body gradually pulls away from hair and nails as the body dehydrates, giving the appearance of the hair and nails growing. No new cells can be produced by a dead organism. Furthermore, neither hair nor nails are made up of cells; they are made primarily of a protein called keratin from dead epidermal cells.
    • Quotes

      [Matt and Spence are helping Rain]

      Rain: When I get outta here... think I'm gonna get laid.

      Matt: Yeah, you might want to clean up a little bit first.

    • Crazy credits
      Near the end of the credits, we hear a line of dialogue from Michelle Rodriguez: "When we get out of here, I think I'm gonna get laid."
    • Alternate versions
      The version that airs on U.S. television is edited for time. Completely removed from the film is the scene with Milla fighting the dogs.
    • Connections
      Edited into Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)

    Resident Evil
    Exactly the right movie at exactly the right time. The music and atmosphere, the sets and costume design, the special effects, the cast. Everything lined up perfectly for a young shaggy. That kid was a gothy nerd with love for video-games, horror, industrial music and Mila Jovovich. This movie managed to check all the boxes. Watching it now, it still pretty much holds up. Maybe a little cheesy but stylish and entertaining. 6 stars for watchability, one for nostalgia.
