Love how Umbrella, at the end, still want's to create perfect bio weapon to gain money. When there's like 5 people left in the world.
Right!!!!!
Even the strippers r zombies at this point
5 very rich people mind you.
@@Three60Mafia 😂 well.... Yea 😂
You gotta chase your dream no matter what.
This series in a nutshell. You get a memory loss and you get a memory loss, everybody gets a memory loss.
And after watching most of them you start to wish for it too
After graduating high school last year I've been getting memory loss just like Alice.
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
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
I like how Leon just goes "The las plagas parasite" when Rain injects herself and anyone in the audience that has never played RE4 HAS NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS.
Yes, but then. How can you watch these movies if you didnt play the games...
I stopped at 3. And I watch it. But also it’s like the Mario movie. If you didn’t play if you wouldn’t understand “ blue shell”
@@thenaberius6081just wait til you find out mcu fans dont read marvel comics.
Ofcourse i know him, hes me.@@JACK-kp8tb
@@JACK-kp8tbspeak for yourself lmao, the rest of us nerds just grabbed for our limited editions in disrespect
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.
In monster hunter and hellboy she proved she can't act
@@yaro42 Main reason her performance worked in Fifth Element was because her character was a human who didn't know how to be human.
Jesus Christ is Lord. Please take your salvation seriously, read, and do what the Bible says. It is all True
@AlexDuran Her character is a boring Mary Sue in these movies.
@@yaro42 wow choosing two bad movies you totally made a point....
Man I love these movies so much, no matter how bad people think they are
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
Guilty pleasures for me. Yes i know they arent great but, i still enjoy them .
Just like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies
Same here mate!
Where robocraft (jk)
Say what you will about these movies, but you simply can’t ignore how cool all the practical sets are.
what blows my mind is the fact that video game developers can write better more consistent stories than hollywood. now that is just amazing.
And Resident Evil games are far from a good example at that, featuring some truly dreadful stories and dialogue.
@@TheJayson8899 I'd rather watch the first RE a hunnit times over than anything disney has made over the last 10 odd years.
@@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.
There are Hollywood directors who can write better and more consistent stories than the Resident Evil In Name Only or Disney Wars stuff. Few in number, but they are there. Denis Villeneuve is my go-to example at the moment.
@@TheJayson8899 key word SOME the movies on the other hand are all awful
A two hour video on all the resident evil movies? Imma grab my popcorn and chill.
I'm doing dishes and cleaning the house from Thanksgiving while watching this. :)
Exactly
Sameeee
What an original comment 😐
Right and I’m on the train this is perfect !
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
@@thaneofwhiterun3562 I mean in the games it’s kinda similar. Crazy villains with bad morals
@@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 100%
@@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.
I feel like these movies could have worked better if they had a clear idea how the movies were going to go from the start
Right!
In the first novelizations, Jill Valentine's miniskirt outfit is attributed to her wanting freedom of movement. The STARS member always splitting up is attributed to them being "trained to watch their own backs". It's so dumb, I love it.
Iirc it also stated it was "an unusually hot august" which is why she wore what she wore.
@@CapcomGod Oh man, I LOVED those books back in middle/high school...I had all five of them (IIRC) and they were so cheesy and fun...for some reason I really liked the...second one? The one where they went to Europe to infiltrate the Umbrella lab that didn't actually follow one of the games...but looking back, the series had the feel of the Wii Umbrella/Darkside Chronicles games...just crank up the cheese and camp and fiddle with the story a bit...
In the game I'm pretty sure she was just wearing that as pyjamas
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.
@@njmfff That's fake news, Leon can't die, he's immortal.
To think that Clint almost made it out alive with his friends, it’s just a shame they accidentally open that floor door in the train and killed him. Saddest accidental death ever.
He had so much more to do, so much character arc wasted.
Yea he was the MVP for sure in that movie. They wouldn't be alive if not for him
I think he just wanted to be a good boy. Poor Clint.
A note on the first movie. In the laser hall, they attach a device to the door to "hack" it. The device is in fact a Accucheck glucometer with some random bits glued to it. I had one back in the day.
Wait a second, the zombie dogs were played by real dogs wearing makeup? This whole time, I thought they were CGI!
The best thing about these movies is how you could watch them in any order and they'd make just as little linear sense.
So true, I actually accidentally started with the forth movie and I didn't even notice it wasn't the first one 🤣🤣 the narration in the begin gives you all the backstory you need and I just thought is was the intro setting up the movie 🤣 it was a strange experience 😅
So true bro. She always provides the background story and wakes up naked on the floor so what order you watch them hardly matters. They are always different settings too like: Nevada, L.A. Alaska, Russia, Washington D.C. so having completely different places makes the movies seem very distanced from each other.
True in other aspects except for the characters part cus theres diff characters in first one and some died in some others so if u watch it at random then some would be alive etc, except for Alice ofc with constant resurrection 🤣q
@@samueljohnson4738 nahnahnah. They take place in research facilities underneath all those cities. Even raccoon city, was secretly an underground research facility.
@@samueljohnson4738 to see
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.
She's better than the other clones because she survived the longest, her body had more time to adjust to the t-virus and enabled her to get ahead of the game. The other clones 'with their minds wiped' literally just woke up in random rooms and were led to the slaughter almost immediately.
The "SHE PULLED THEM OUT OF HER 🐱! " Made me almost spit out my drink 😅😂😂
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
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.
bro caught amnesia in between his own projects lmao
@@RoosterFloydbecause its a "Games"! As long as the gameplay is fun, story is number two.
Maybe he also had memory loss like Alice did
@@danthovict381Depends hugely on the game
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!"
She had 2 guns, not one but he missed that.
1:05:00 her hair not moving AT ALL while she's flying through the air... poetry. 😂😂
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.
@@zackarysullivan9019 why does Hollywood never give us the good stuff? These RE movies were complete dog shit.
@@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
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
can't believe he left us in a carlos-less world, man. He specifically promised not to do that!
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!!
No way. I LITERALLY just finished a Resident Evil movie. They’re so bad but sooo dang entertaining.
I liked the first 2 only
Hah I love the later films for the awful sound design ALONE! It’s like watching cartoons.
I say the games are painfully overated boring trash and the only good thing about them is Albert Wesker in the game where Chris killed him. The movies were so much better.
@@zombiedemon1762 what w wonderful opinion. Wrong, but very interesting
@@anthonyfernandez82 . Alright I'm willing to be proven wrong. What is so great about those games and why does anyone like them? Please know I didn't watch this video. Also what is so wrong with the movies? Atleast the movies have Alice in them and not as another cool villain to be killed by a boring human protagonist.
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.
I love you

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.
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 😅
Here's a fun fact: the scene with the laser security defense program inspired Capcom to do something similar like that in Resident Evil 4.
i thought it was the other way around, seems like the movies aren't so bad after all.
@@Immolator772 First Resident Evil movie came out in 2002. Resident Evil 4 came out in 2005.

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
@@garibaldibritann1240 Yeah but the Nemesis in the original RE3 from 1999 used a Rocket Launcher. The movie just added a minigun.
The actress who played jill really played the game for real. She reloaded without even shooting. Classic shooting game stuff.

@@Slenderslayer351 80% of the world perhaps, she's cute af
@@DKSON1337 She really is cute
@@Slenderslayer351 if you into ladybois. Then I guess.
@@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 seriously appreciate the time and effort you expended to research these movies and find out the behind the scenes info. I felt like, move-wise, the Resident Evil franchise has been beaten to death,. At the same time. I've always wondered how the Umbrella Corporation could do this and get away with it. You did a great job on this and there were times I was reaching the same as you in those "what the heck?!" moments.
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.
May be, but it looks fake as ...@@enenrax
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.
Damn thats kinda sad

My guess is she’s the only “original” clone that got the needed mutation. Then the clones of her didn’t inherit it, but they kept trying.
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😂🤦🏾♂️
Your edits are dope , I just subscribed
This is one of my favourite videos. Well done, Elvis.
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.
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
“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.

The use of Perfect Dark music in the background of this video is such a great fit.
pleasantly surprised that this was a well thought out & hilarious review. 'was never bored for over 2hours.
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.
Not only did it malfunctioned, they change some stunt details last-minute and didn't notify her
*Laughs in Jackie Chan*
Google triple x stunt incident, that is also worse.
How much money did she get when she won the lawsuit?
Yeah that accident is terrible!!!!!
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'm sure they had insurance on the equipment.
Yeah I loved that too lol
when you shoot a camera and there is no one behind the camera it is fun
Alec Baldwin must know that feeling
@@ethan_syloss4912 no points for making the easy joke
I've only seen the first one all the way through so THANK YOU for this wonderful video about all of them!
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.
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?

Found your review vids also very entertaning, almoat as much as the Resident Evil movies thenselves. Tnx! 👍👍👍
Also, it’s quite fun how Alice’s hair becomes gradually darker per sequel.
the darker her hair is the worse the movie becomes 😆
i mean i also had dark blonde/ light brown hair when i was younger and it did darken a lot after being an adult so makes sense kinda
just like leon in the remakes
@@futchleonLeon manages to take time out to take care of his hair, Alice didn't have the time or resources to dye it every month
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.
sounds like what a RE fanfiction with self-insert main character would be lol
@@j.yang7 That's exactly what it is. Movie adaptations are basically licensed fanfiction.
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
Lol Alice is a Mary-Sue.
@DD Another reason I can't get into these movies. My mom will sometimes let me know when it's on and I'm like okay whatever.
I really love the small details in your editing, they really add to how this franchise really is stupidly funny. That nikocado avocado bit got me.
This is my go to video for everytime I need a long video to play in the background, so that it's interesting enough but not too much that I get way too invested to get distracted.
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.
The films are written + directed by the husband of the actor. He made the character to include her
@@dbkwk9 nice to know but the op meant it’s weird she hasn’t been seen in any resi games
Imo it's better they just keep it that way.
@@cuthuluxd5814 agreed
@@baizuo_6246 because she isn't important or needed for the plot of the games.
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.
RIP Clint F. Licker I misunderstood the assignment.
Hey at least they suceed in replicate wesker's assholery.
@@willianditaquera one of the only things they got right
There ARE no characters from the games in the films, just people who coincidentally have the same name!
Resident evil: MARY SUE
Dunno why but I always end with this on in the background while I’m drawing for work - probably watched it 50 times now - it’s become a comfort watch lol
I only ever saw the resident evil movies through clips on youtube and that one like summary video, and that's probably why I loved the idea of the movies as I only saw like the most interesting stuff :P
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 still think it would to dope to remake the same
Why would they drop a household name like "Resident Evil" that makes zero sense.
@@Iberny3 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 think there is a horror movie called The Hive already
@@KhepriX Then we'll make a better one 😤
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
Lol
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.
@@thekyoungin6054 Jill, Leon and Chris. Literally THE protagonists of the Resident Evil Series and they are killed offscreen with no fanfare or even a mention. Claire is still alive but she is literally the protagonist you play as the least out of these 4.
@@freddymcshreddy6586 Also, why even put Ada and Leon in the same movie if you are going to have Ada hang out with your wife and have Leon hang out with Barry?
Check out the new one. Really good and follows the actual games which the others failed to do.
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
Amazing video! I only watched the first 2 movies, the first one being the best. I didn´t mind to watch the rest, thankfully I found this video so I don´t have to. Thank you very much!
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 KZheadr didn't realize should sort of explode like it did in that situation.
@@wsippel ohh, so that's why they're called frag grenade
in soviet russia u sont shoot zombies zombies shhot u
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.
I’ll admit that Carlos lighting a joint just before the explosion was pretty badass.
Wasn't a joint, it was a rolled cigarette cuz earlier in the movie he asked the black guy if he had any smokes left n he said no
@@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.
@@xxxhq2805 it was literally a joint. Its a fat stubby with the little twist on the end.
Maybe to a 13 year old.
@@tucker8951 so ur saying u can't roll tobacco into that shape? Plus giving the situation, if they did had a joint they would've smoked it long ago n a joint its something u share sucks smoking alone N fyi, weed don't burn that fast if anyone know anything aboit weed n tobacco knkws what I'm talking about clearly ur not
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.
ok the last movies are kinda goofy but one specific thing about them is consistently awesome to me. the intros . i just love the intros a lot
As a young dumb naive kid, these movies filled every fantasies I had of fighting the apocalypse and looking back at them as an adult they were just badly executed films that had a ton of potential. I may not appreciate them now as I did before, but it made my childhood fantasies fucking awesome and thats all that matters
BROSKI SAME!!!! Like I literally couldn’t have worded it better. I still really love them though
Agreed, this also inspired me to write a short post-apocalyptic story as a work for screening class in my University
@@lucaxtshotting2378 once upon a time was pretty shit that is correct.
@@lucaxtshotting2378 What the hell?
Please tell me you've played Resident Evil: 4. That was honestly the greatest, scariest, most fun video game I've ever played. Ada Wong is the greatest female video game character of all time and she would've beat Alice's ass in stilettos and a ballgown 😂
The fact that they are so bad is exactly what makes them all so good.
Right! After Extinction I swore I was done but I still had 2 see each film
But these are not good though…
@@Barry80Elms that's the reason why we love the movies
@@Barry80Elms Speak for yourself. They're so bad they're good.
@@snazzyjovialwyrm3314 - Don’t know what to say to that comment lol…
Video been out for a year, been watching it almost every night before bed because its great video to watch.
I looooved the Perfect Dark soundtrack on the video. ❤
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?
Shoe don't have an amnesia she's just a clone that's why she can't remember anything
@@Lucretia19 yeah that’s definitely something they thought of last minute
@@Eldergodconsultant Everything about the last movie was thought of last minute 😂
We like watching hot women shoot guns we dont care about plot
@@worsethanhitlerpt.2539 You'd like the Dead or Alive games Cx
The first movie was hard carried by the atmosphere and sound design. That is truly a piece of art.
You notice this too? I feel the first Movie actually attempted something unique
Hard on attempt
Loved the main theme, made by Marilyn Manson. Had it on my Ipod.... Still a classic movie for me.
@@jessicaferrari3987 one of the reasons that movie was unique, Theme is a banger
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."
19:50 ish the bullets have an umbrella logo on the back, so maybe it's special ammo and that's why the tank blew when she shot at it
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
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
@@vagamer522 Bruh, not even Anderson knows what the fuck’s happening, and he’s mostly been hands-on with this series lmao
I mean does she actually know there's no water left? Lots of water is where you cant actually see.
@@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
16:25 Jill reloads twice because she has two guns you can see the holster later in the scene
Thank you
Soooo she shot like 3 times and had to reload both of her guns? Was she just carrying around an unloaded gun? Dont defend this fucking garbage.
21:59 Hand him a shotgun also those were RPD STARS members not umbrella troops
There's a lot of mistakes in Elvis's movie breakdown here. Feels like he barely watched them
Great video man thanks
I'm years late on this video but man that Perfect Dark music during the Retribution breakdown is nostalgic
It’s crazy how Wesker looks like a video game character throughout all the movies.
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.
I guess you could argue that Isaacs and Spencer had different intentions that had the same starting point. My theory is that Isaacs makes the announcement to kickstart the apocalypse, but Spencer actually ends up doing it himself for his own selfish reasons. The events are completely disconnected, but is the starting point for both of them. Isaacs just sees Spencer's act as an opportunity to start his plan. But that's just a theory that would be really cool that probably isn't the case
I kinda wanted to watch a movie of project Alice like seeing what they made her do while they had control over her and how she broke into the facility to gain back control
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”
Evidence from the cover up.
@@MichaelAChristian1 yeah ironically what this dude's whining about is one of the only lore-accurate things the movies used lol
@@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
She was used as a scapegoat and took the fall in the games so I don't see a problem.
@@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.
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
I want to point out that the Wesker Vs Chris and Claire was very inspired on a scene from RE5 where Sheeva is there instead of Claire, you can actually find videos side by side with the 2 moments, think it was something worth to mention in your video.
Idc what others say these movies were banger watching them growing up. Alice played by Milla Javovich was phenomenally one of the most badass woman character ever!
Theory: Alice isn't very bright and doesn't question things because she's a clone that was made to take orders
She doesn't have to be bright. She is the hero.
@@MichaelAChristian1 agreed! Just putting out a theory in regards to a statement made in the video
@@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 ?
@@ArturGlass.C ooo I didn't think about that!
"Jill definitely has at least have one shot left" During a zombie apocalypse I'd also save at least one bullet for myself.
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.
1:03:31 for the why you don't need to shoot them in the head thing I always like to see it from a biological point of view: if you shoot them in the spine, they might not die, bit they sure as hell won't be able to run towards you. You maybe can only kill a zombie with a shot to the head, but they still need for example muscles to move, they don't move through magic. So severing a muscle or destroying bones might not kill them, but it can render them harmless/practically neutralised
This looks like this was made for the writer's wife
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.
is that even an argument?
@@Scripzure not really, but it still gets used quite a bit. Primarily by defenders of the Disney Star Wars trilogy.
@@jsb6975.ah.crapbaskets and bad marvel movies and so on.
Uhummm…. fast and furious!
The first movie was fine, Red Queen actually got a cult following theres people still make Alice mod, if it's so bad why would people bother with it?
Fun fact: The grid laser scene was so iconic in the first movie that they recreated it in Resident Evil 4 with Leon dodging lasers in a hallway. Also it makes sense why they combined RE2 and RE3 together for Apocalypse since they happened hours apart with RE3 technically being a prequel. Damn shame they didn't get Claire in though.
that's actually crazy, I thought the movie was copying re4 with that scene
Combining RE2 and RE3 for an adaptation certainly makes more sense than combining RE1 and RE2 for an adaption like they did with WTRC. Those games are two months apart and both take place in vastly different locations from each other.
I actually noticed as it slowed for the bullet time it actually shows the umbrella logo on the backs of the slugs
@@zackarysullivan9019 yeah.. i dont mind when they do stuff like that but holy shit, the last movie KILLED Leon's character and it was way too woke with Claire being some badass that does everything perfect when in reality, in the game she was more like Leon in the movie. And Jill too, the way they made her some kind of alpha male jock but in the body of a tiny woman was stupid. Also the casting... But I didn't care about the movie being split between re1 and RE2 even if it's chronologically wrong. It honestly doesnt even matter. Re3 is irrelevant anyways.
Laser grid is iconic. Did anyone else noticed 1st. that in first movie after red Queen locked them made umbrella squad to minced meat, then all their gear, backbag and AR-s were fine. 2nd. Laser didn't went wall to wall. In first and any movie. Easiest way to dodge, is just step few steps back and wait till program ends and doors are open again. I dubt Alice clone helped her anyway.
i had so much fun watching this video. loved it
