Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez in Resident Evil (2002)

Trivia

Resident Evil

Edit
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.
Michelle Rodriguez had informed her agent that if anyone ever wrote a script about Resident Evil that she wanted to be a part of it. Her agent duly put her in contact with Paul W.S. Anderson when his screenplay was bought.
(at around 50 mins) One of the most popular scenes in the film - when Alice runs up a wall and flings round to kick a zombie dog in the head - took 3 months of training for Milla Jovovich.
All the minor cuts and bruises on Milla Jovovich's character are real. No make-up was applied.
Milla Jovovich did all of her own stunts except the pipe jump in the sewer scene. A stunt double was used because her agent thought she would get strangled by the hanging wires.
