“These money made so much movies.” Technically true

Rags: We get to see Mila Kunis naked.
Mauler: That's Milla Jovovich, not Mila Kunis.
Rags: <searches Mila Kunis naked>

This franchise is the rare case where they took a strong female protagonist, assassinated her character, and replaced it with a weak female character.  This movie was clearly ahead of its time!

Fun fact:
Some promotional material included Raccoon City newspapers, which had two interesting articles.
1. Alice's real name was revealed to be Janis Prospero, and her family had reported her missing.
2. Leon Kennedy is mentioned as not only having died, but was also Jill Valentine's former partner.
Remember these things for later installments of this stupid franchise.

Pimp was hands down the best character. Would have loved for him to be a recurring character as the RE universe descends further into destruction, just reacting to the insanity of it all.

Jill Valentine in the games: An unassuming and mild-mannered girl who becomes a badass when it counts.
Jill Valentine in the movies: An absurd over-the-top badass who wimps out and fucks up when it counts.

I hate that kitchen scene. keep in mind that Alice wasn't even with the group when they arrived to the school so Alice
got to the school and found the kitchen  
saw Jill setting up the gas
somehow knew Jill was going to fail to set it off
grabs a lit cigarette and fire blanket from gods knows where
all so she can steal the spotlight from an actually RE character and it's not the last time this happens.

I love how nobody responds when Jill literally starts shooting people in a police station. Nobody bothers trying to restrain her. Nobody fires back. They just let her shoot the people they’ve taken into custody.

Following on from last week, let’s also keep in mind that this is the most accurate to the games that this series ever got for the simple fact that it takes place in Racoon City and Jill is…there.

And from here, it just gets more and more… interesting. 🥴

7:45 Sad thing is they give Jill that one cool moment then push her aside in favour of Mary Sue-I mean Alice.

The Doctor has his T.A.R.D.I.S., and this movie has its T.A.R.D.I.S.M.
Both defy the laws of physics & time.

The zombies in this movie have evolved. Every time they are on camera, the framerate drops, making it harder for humans to see or shoot them.

At the beginning, when Jill Valentine reloads her pistol in the police station, she reloads it twice. She puts a mag in, says something, and puts another one in lol. (Edit) Also, I just noticed lol, in the exact same scene, before she reloads she has a waist holster, and after she reloads she suddenly has a shoulder holster.

That G.O.T sequence brought a tear to my eye.

I think everyone is funny in EFAP movies but Metal stands out as being the only one to make me laugh as hard as Mauler can. "She gave him the gay" had me laughing so hard my stomach hurts now.

I dunno where Moriarty is getting $288 million from as the budget, everything I've read was saying $44-45 million (whether that includes marketing is unclear so potentially $90 million at most).

But to be fair these films really fuck with your perception of how movies work...


Actually scratch that, they just fuck with your perception of reality in general...

EDIT: Ah nevermind! He addressed it at the end :)

You can tell Paul just watched Equilibrium (2002) before starting on this movie. There are VERY similar fight scenes with motorcycle-helmeted goons, and that sequel bait scene in RE: Apocalypse gives me STRONG vibes to the "Without Incident" scene in the 3rd act of Equilibrium, only done worse. When did he stop making movies and start photocopying them? 😆

Nemesis deadass gets 'beaten' because the power of friendship is stronger than the T-virus. wtf

So the Red Queen was based off of Angie Ashford since she’s the lead researcher’s daughter, as this movie clearly establishes?
That’s an interesting tidbit of information.

In fact, I don’t even know why I’m bringing it up, it’s not like this will possibly become more relevant information in later movies and what they choose to tell us or anything. 🙃🙃🙃

To MauLer regarding the church scene. There's a reason they don't allow you to drive your bike into a church, a bike in the house of God that is on holy ground will literally drive you straight up to heaven....and we can't have people doing that willy nilly now can we?
