Trivia

(at around 26 mins) Domesticating the Zombie in the beginning of this film is clearly a reference to George A. Romero's Day of the Dead (1985) when "Bub" did virtually the same thing with an older phone.

---

Goofs

(at around 18 mins) When Alice shoots "Stevie" through the head with an arrow, there is blood splatter on the truck after he is hit. After checking the pumps, Alice looks at him a second time and the blood splatter has vanished.

User Reviews

Great Zombie film, Yes - Resident Evil film, No

While this RE3 was a cracking zombie movie, it strayed to far from the original concept and excepted storyline. In my opinion this has rendered the movie pointless in the RE franchise.

Let's not forget that Resident Evil owes it popularity to the game series, so I think it's only right that they try and stick to it, even if it's just a little bit. It seems very much like the director wanted to make an updated version of Day of the Dead, if you've seen DOTD you'll see what I mean in the first 5 minutes of RE3.

If this were a stand alone movie I would have given it 10/10, but it isn't, they've tried to be too creative and the director has tried to make a different movie. By doing this he's make a cracking zombie film. but a Resident Evil film, I think not.

I only hope this isn't the last one, it would be a terrible waste.
