Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaStuntwoman Olivia Jackson was involved in a motorcycle crash during filming. The dangerous stunt involved her driving a motorcycle towards a camera mounted on a crane, while she wore no helmet as the shot required her not to. The crane malfunctioned and didn't move out of the way in time. Noticing this, she tried (and failed) to block it with her arm. She received several serious life threatening injuries including a twisted spine, broken discs, brain bleeding, shattered scapula, nerves torn, leaking cerebral fluid, degloved face (which is when facial skin is ripped off to reveal muscle tissue and teeth), shattered eye socket which had to be put together with tweezers, cheekbone shard stabbing her ear drum, fingers torn from her hand, an entire bone ripped out of her arm. Her left arm, which suffered these injuries, was injured so badly it had to be amputated. She was put into a medically induced coma for 17 days to perform all of the surgeries. Paul W.S. Anderson was so devastated by the accident that he nearly quit the project, while Milla Jovovich visited Jackson in the hospital and brought her flowers. Jackson sued (and won) the production company for the workplace injuries, as she was initially only compensated $33,000 for the injuries.
- GoofsAt the beginning of the movie, Alice gives a history of the Umbrella Corporation. She says that the T-Virus was created by a Dr. Marcus for his daughter Alicia to prevent her rapid aging. This completely contradicts the story of Resident Evil: Apocalypse as this movie establishes the T-Virus as being created by Dr. Ashford for his daughter Angie. While the novelization explains that Dr. Ashford created the Virus at the behest of Dr. Marcus, this is never made clear in the film.
- Quotes
Dr. Isaacs: Ah, how touching. The trinity of bitches, united in their hatred.
- Crazy creditsAfter the film credits finish rolling, there will be a black screen and the Red Queen's voice saying: "You're all going to die down here".
- Alternate versionsThree versions are available, depending on your location, the main, worldwide theatrical release ("1h 47m (107 min)", an eight minute shorter version for Taiwan ("1h 39m (99 min) (China)") and another edited cut for the Peoples Republic of China ("1h 39m (99 min) (Mainland China Censored Version) (China)"). The main cuts are shots of the zombies, especially close-ups.

Featured review
You are probably not going to see this film for riveting story-lines and in depth character studies. The RE series has about action and fun sequences. Leaving aside all the ridiculous plot points and lazy screen writing, the editing of this movie is going to become legendary for it's awfulness.
I've never seen a full budgeted movie get hacked up so poorly that the expensive action scenes are pretty much butchered to the max. This movie needs to be studied in film school for how NOT to edit a movie. Every single action is shot with countless shakes, moves, and camera switches. A simple action of, say, putting away your knife, takes 3- 4 camera edits. I was counting them by 15 minutes in per shot. It was insane. A fight sequence will be nothing but a countless series of quick edits form close up, medium and far away shots mashed together so it's impossible to follow what's going on. Shaky cam is one thing, but this is shaky cam plus strobe effect editing. Every single punch or shot requires 4-6 edits and quick cuts. It will give you a headache to figure out what's happening in any fight or sequence. Even mundane actions like people standing on top of a building looking down takes 5-6 edits and quick cuts?
Bring the puke bag.
I guess they tried to film some neat locations and the costumes are pretty and sets, but you wont even notice with the multiple edits jarring your eyes.
