[edit] DVD Cover

[edit] Alice's character?

Should they mention that the whole Alice character doesn't appear in any of the videogames?!--200.76.103.97 (talk) 06:54, 5 January 2008 (UTC)Surten

[edit] 'Nationality' of Film

its not an american movie... it is an european production

• More specifically, it was filmed in Germany. But the film was an american production.

Lindsey8417 23:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

• • WRONG!!!: It's a : British/German/French/American production. (AFAIK the production is mainly british and german)

• • After some research I've found this information: An American production company tried to get the rights for a film version of Resident Evil, but finally the European competitors got the rights. At first the movie started as a co-production of Constantin Film (German) and New Legacy (British). When the picturisation was in delay the French production company Davis Films joined Constantin Film. Later Impact Films (American?) joined the project and had a hand in the screenplay. Therefore the movie is officially declared as a European production(British/German coproduction), although French and American production companies participated.

If you still believe it is an American movie, then google and you will find out that on many sites only UK and Germany are mentioned as production countries.

• • At amazon.com I found out that the production companies are: Constantin Film Produktion GmbH (German), Davis-Films, Impact Pictures, New Legacy

anyone know were i can get a copy of romeros origanal draft? i found it before online but i lost it now

• I got mine at: [1]

[edit] Removed sections of Trivia

I removed the first piece of trivia as redundant and possibly errorous. The way I understood it, there were only two entires in to the hive. Through the underground train-station as seen in the first film, and through a large "back-door" under Raccoon City as seen in Apocalypse. As far as I can tell there are no multiple mansions in the movie or the games. Also referring to the game is redundant since the films and the games take place in separate universes (see the Films-section of the main article). I also removed the part which claims that Capcom executives cameod as zombies. Either this piece of trivia must be moved to the Zombies section or somebody needs to cite their sources (the other zombie-appearances were refered to in the DVD commentary). (HM)

I've removed the section about character deaths. There're spoilers, and then there are pointless spoilers, and I think this list of three characters' deaths was redundant. It had the air of having been written by someone who just wanted to say as much as they could think of to say about the film and I don't think it really added anything to the article. - Shrivenzale 16:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tunnel

"laser grid protection system that slices about twenty of the "super team" members into little pieces." - more like 4-6 people in the version I saw? Ojw 22:52, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Bang on. Also, only one is sliced into little pieces. The rest are cut into two big pieces (excepting the guy who lost some fingers; two big pieces and a couple of little ones). Hey, did you just watch it on the TV as well? Jcb 00:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, was on UK television. I couldn't believe how dumb the film was (just loads of zombies popping up), until I looked on wikipedia and saw it was based on a computer game. Ojw 20:00, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm surprised that anyone wasn't aware this was based on a game. The storyline behind this film gets flesh out more (pun intended) in the sequel. 23skidoo 22:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor fix

The film's age-rating in Finland is 15 not 18. I happen to own both a VHS and a DVD, both are rated 15, so unless someone can prove that the rating was different in theatres then I believe this to be correct. (user:HannuMakinen)

[edit] Plot Summary

It seems to me that the plot summary for this film is a little long... vote for abridging it? Crisco 1492 19:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh ya, the list of major characters should be included with the main article... i think at least. Crisco 1492 19:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE2 Contest

Anyone remember the contest that was announced in the back of the instruction booklet for Resident Evil 2 that was supposed to give the winner a walk-on role in the RE movie? Should this be noted in the trivia section? --Jazz Remington 03:36, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Except for Trivia sections are frowned upon. Lots42 21:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalization edits

Whats with all the capitalization?

"Outbreak"

"Zombies" (multiple times)

"Halon" (a chemical)

"Hazmat" (a conjoined abbreviation) - maybe a proper name?

"Super Computer"

"Martial Arts and Weapons use"

There are so many I'm beginning to wonder if I'm just forgetting my english. Only nouns and proper names are capitalized, right? Hexrei 21:14, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

You're right, yes. Some people can go a bit mad with capitals. On the other hand, too little capitalisation can be a problem, too. What you were forgetting was your English. :o)

- Shrivenzale 16:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Game and Movie Differences error

In the movie column, it states the "Many miles beneath the mansion is an Umbrella research facility" while the research facility or "The Hive" is in fact, not under the mansion, but under Raccoon city instead. The thing that's under the mansion is a transportation leading to the "The Hive" a few miles away from the mansion and miles under Raccoon city. 210.213.174.223 14:44, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

This addition is a no-brainer, but in the games the zombies and other enemies COULD be killed by shooting them anywhere (eventually), but in the movie they could only be killed by shooting them in the head (except for the Licker, which still lived after being shot in the head) or destroying them completely. Also, though it took less bullets to kill them, the enemies wouldn't die after being shot in the head until their heads exploded (Ex: the dining room scene in the first game).24.118.227.213 19:23, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

"in the games the zombies COULD be killed by shooting them anywhere" Though normal Zombies would come back as [Crimson Head] zombies in the [Resident Evil REmake] on GameCube, unless "destroyed completely"!?  Doktor  Wilhelm  01:17, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

The Gamecube remake isn't very consistent with the rest of the series, including the game it remakes, and I don't know if this has anything to do with trying to make it like the movies or not. Zombies could also be killed for good in the remake by burning their bodies, and in other games zombies would sometimes attack while on fire, but fire wasn't an issue in the movies so much, I presume because it would be difficult for the actors.24.131.170.13 (talk) 06:18, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot summary

Plot summary was said to be too long so I wrote a new version. Hope you like it. -TheHande 23:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'Works of' problem

I can't do it myself, but the other works of at the bottom of the page says 'alice in wonderland'... can someone fix that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slaschnikoff (talk • contribs)

Yeah seroiusly what the hell is that all about? -someone else —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.101.72.59 (talk • contribs)

I think the link between this film and Alice in Wonderland is superficial at best, so I'll remove the template. -- MisterHand 16:44, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dancers

I find it hard to believe professional dancers could screw up so -badly-, in that they all imitate random zombies identically. I get the impression someone got misinformed. But if this is what did happen, the section needs to be rewritten anyway, for general grammar and clarity. Lots42 21:42, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to ignore your obvious negative opinion of the film and simply say that your request would not add to the information content of the page. The references to professional dancers is clearly on the DVD commentary and if you need a source go watch it. There is nothing wrong with the section and if you intend to remove informative content or replace it with uninformative content I most likely will undo your changes. -TheHande 15:28, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Dude, what? Slow down. It seems to me that something indicating the 'dancers goof' is in the DVD commentary should be inserted into the article. Since it was in the commenrary -I- am wrong. I will not be deleting anything. I don't think anything in my comment indicated I would be. In conclusion, a rewrite for grammar and clarity and to add in the 'in the commentary' fact should be applied. That's all. Lots42 04:10, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. Invisble?

The added twice by Special:Contributions/212.127.228.36, reverted once, cast entry of Henk Baker as Dr. Invisble(sic) looks awfully dubious to me, as IMDB entry has no such character or actor, and Google finds nothing. However, since uncredited actors and roles are not uncommon in films, I'll leave it for the Resident Evil experts here to decide. --Michael Devore (talk) 02:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm not the biggest RE fan ever, but I've read the books and played the N64 game like crazy; I never heard of a Dr. Invisible. Lots42 (talk) 03:06, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

• The size of the image Image:Re1dvd.jpg needs to be reduced to or less than 300x300, same with Image:Resident Evil movie.jpg, and Image:Aliceresidentevil.jpg

• Image:Deadwalk.jpg needs a fair use rationale

• Something that will probably be brought up at FAC is that the image Image:Aliceresidentevil.jpg can be replaced with a free picture of Milla and say the exact same thing as the current picture does not reference the film.

• The wikiquote box messes up the references, it's currently reflist|2 but it looks like reflist|3 because the wikiquote box is in the reference section

• Reference 30 needs formatting

• Reference 38 to the IMDB trivia page is not reliable as it is a wiki. Same with 21

Should of been more clear on the images. The uploaded version of the images are too big, not the size of them in this article. Just resize them and re upload. M3tal H3ad (talk) 08:26, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Cool, pass. Make sure to try and get other editors experienced with film articles if you want to get it to featured status. M3tal H3ad (talk) 05:59, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "The creatures"

The section labeled The Creatures makes it seem unique to this film that production crew played parts due to budget problems...in any case the whole section is full of odd grammar I'm not too sure how to fix. Lots42 (talk) 17:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

• I fixed the section and moved it up, although im not to sure about the grammar itself. Empty2005 (talk) 00:13, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Error in Marking and release

it say here that Paul W.S Anderson wanted the film to be a pg-13. This is wrong. On the DVD making of. Anderson clearly says that he didn't want the film to be a pg-13 and always had in mind the film to be R rated. Someone can you please change as this is fault information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amg4ever (talk • contribs) 19:12, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Certificate ratings box

Is it absolutely necessary to have a Ratings box - in the Production section - which includes every single rating in the world? It looks too much like fancruft. Nreive (talk) 12:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Movie Has Nothing To Do With The Games!

The R.E movies have nothing to do with the games other than the people. and in the last one they people everyone in it!? Leon, Alice,redfield,Wesker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.139.224.188 (talk) 12:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Virus makes zombies. Check. Big fleshy monsters. Check. Evil corporation attempting a cover up. Check. I'd say the plot is a dead-ringer for the real thing. The only difference being that instead of bland computer-generated characters we have bland characters played by real actors. Wikipedia is not a forum for discussing your dissappointment of the film. If you have to complain, start a blog or go to IMDb though at the latter you will not be the first one to complain. -TheHande (talk) 06:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The protagonist, Alice.

In the film, Alice's name is never mentioned and you do not find that out until the seconded installment in the film, it is not in the place for the article to mention her name.--Cooljuno411 (talk) 05:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
