Fun fact: The actor who plays Chris Redfield in this was known for a show called Prison Break. When he was handed the script and saw that his first line was "I know a way out of this place" he thought someone was playing a joke with him.
I swear there is no way he read his own scripts while making these "films". I'm actually kind of surprised he never made Alice fight space aliens with dinosaurs or giant mechs at some point! You know he'd find a way to do it!
@@zonbichaos5844 Excellent point, I mean why try when you can blatantly take from those who came before you and brag about it all being your plan? Honestly I'm surprised he didn't steal from Dino Crisis since the people who made Resident Evil made that!
Extinction introduced telekinesis, a thousand clones and the end of the fucking world. No big deal, I can see how they accidentally forgot something so miniscule. Honest mistake.
I remember watching Afterlife about six years after the first one, skipping all the others. The incessant slo-mo, 3D effects, meme Wesker, clones and force push were VERY confusing, as you'd imagine!
Me too, my pal bought a 3D tv and that was the first movie he got. I was quite drunk so I didn't appreciate the 3D aspect of neither the film or the new tv
The only one that I had ever seen before EFAP was Extinction because a friend convinced me to go see it in theaters. Having been a fan of the games, I was extremely confused.
You know what I love? I love protagonists that are essentially demigods, yet want so desperately to be a normal human again. I could understand the desire to be human if they lost their emotions, imagination, or curiosity. However, these guys are basically human, but better, yet they always want to be a normal person again for some unfathomable reason. "Thank you for making me human again." Bitch, you were human 2.0. *You had telekinesis!*
Yeah, the writers think it's appealing to general audiences to want to "fit in". However, I can see the average person not wanting Alice-powers since they'd be held to a ridiculously high standard if they didn't use their powers absolutely 100% responsibly. But I don't think the writers think that far ahead, they just assume "normal=good;that's what the sheeple who watch this garbage think, right?" and then write it. If their powers had dire consequences like Psykers in 40k then I can see wanting to be normal. But writers don't have the balls to write flaws into that sort of thing either.
Wait, I'm confused. They flew from the California desert to Alaska in a helicopter only to get captured by the bad guys on the coast who took them all the way back to California just to keep them on a boat?
Yes, Wesker is Social Darwinist and the goal was to gather all of the hardcore survivalist who could manage to get ot the end of the Earth to harvest them there periodically for their supreme genes.
The additionally weird part about Chris’ casting is that the _other_ protagonist of Prison Break is still an active actor and waaaaaaaay beefier. They’re even both minor recurring characters in the Arrowverse shows, because apparently it all comes back to Batwoman.
Train to Busan-father saves his daughter on a train full of zombies in Korea sacrificing himself in the process. Train to Busan:Apocalypse- company finds fathers body and makes it into a monstrosity called project main character. He is unleashed upon Busan which is under military occupation lead by a German guy, eventually Busan is overrun and project main character has to fight his daughter who has also been experimented on and given super powers. Train to Busan: Extinction: Korea is now a desert for some reason…… I give up.
=== Train to Busan, by Paul W.S. Anderson === The father ends up sacrificing himself in a scene to save his daughter But he ends up coming back as a zombie anyway to try and eat her so the OC, Alice, has to step in and kill him to finish the job
I love how the shitty boss battle is ironically accompanied by a really great song: The Outsider by A Perfect Circle, and interestingly enough, the singer of A Perfect Circle (who is also the singer for TOOL), has another band, called Puscifer, and Milla Jovovich sings on one of their songs; The Mission "M is for Milla Mix"
The following can be found in this film: Retcons Disappearing sources of dripping water Too much 3D and slo-mo "Alice" becoming a true Mary Sue Chris "Prison Break" Redfield Shitty implementations of RE5 elements And more...
Using the executioner was the most blatant case of "We gotta tie it into the games". Possibly ever. "Isn't this one big family reunion" has literally no history with Chris or Claire.
42:49 MauLer: "You could've put the shower off while you were searching for zombies." The sound included the water running constantly, but depending on the camera angle, the shower is running or not running. You can see it clearly on the cut at 42:28 / 42:29.
56:38 this was something that really annoyed me with the Resident Evil movies. Paul WS Anderson not only went out of his way to force his OC into the Resident Evil franchise, but he intentionally sets up these situations where Alice will flex in front of the original characters. She does the exact same thing in the second movie when Jill fills a room full of gas to kill zombie dogs inside, but she fails to cause it to explode, so Alice steps in to do it for her.
That's the greatest sin these movies commit. Sidelining all the cool characters from the games, so the director's wife can steal the spotlight. These are not Resident Evil movies, these films are just OC-Insert fan fiction.
I'm seriously impressed by Metal noticing the high heels switching out. I have to wonder how that would even be a decision/foul-up made behind the scenes... like, wouldn't you just wear one pair of boots? They go with this one outfit, you just wear those ones again. It's simple.
Well, it's not that rare for ladies to wear boots with high heels in movies to look cool/sexy which got sneakily replaced by more comfortable boots in action scenes to make sure that an actress/stuntwoman won't injure herself doing stunts. But, I guess, usually the boots are not switched back and forth so often in one scene.
@@kylefrank638 it’s not the heel itself. High heels force your body to reposition itself for balance, and with women, the high heel is designed to emphasize the curves. This is why wearing heels for extended periods like you used to have to as a waitress or flight attendant would permanently screw up your back. But anyway yeah. The shoes themselves ARE sexy to uh... certain people. But their function as “sexy” is to do with the female body as a whole. I learned all this from some documentary about Vegas cigarette girls and how the ones who were forced to wear heels in the 60s and 70s have had to have toes amputated now that they’re older.
I haven't stopped thinking about The Last Jedi and why people hate it. I wish you could see what I see. Oh, and you're watching movies wrong. - Patrick Willams.
Fun fact about the Pimp character in Extinction. He was originally supposed to survive and would have joined Alice going to down to the base. He was supposed to be the one to activate the laser grid and kill Ian Glenn's character
I like to imagine that after people kept asking Anderson if he had actually played the games or just look at the wiki, that he and Milla sat down and played RE5 and were like " Wow that's Resident evil, there's so much we can do with this" and proceeded to just copy/paste.
A wise man once said; “the smaller the breasts, the closer you are to their hearts!” A wiser man once said; “bigger breasts are the expansion of the heart!” And the wisest man once said; “you must cherish the entire woman, as she’s the only doorway to her heart!”
20:22 From the 3rd film onwards Anderson never follows through with the cliffhangers of previous films. He sets up Alice and a bunch of clones going after Wesker at the end of Extinction only to kill off the clones at the start of Afterlife, ends Afterlife with the survivors getting ready to fight Umbrella soldiers on the ship but Retribution begins with the fight already over and Retribution ends with everyone getting to fight the monster hordes on top of the White House but Final Chapter starts with most of them kidnapped and brainwashed or dead.
Loving his wife is fine by me. He made a bunch of increasingly terrible movies based around a character that doesnt exist in the franchise hes ruining which isnt as cool. I dont love his wife, i love resident evil. I didnt want to see his wife, i wanted to see resident evil.
Pardon my ignorance, I've only been watching EFAP for like a month or 2 now and I was just wondering what the significance of "what dja bring me"? I noticed they put it on the end of the Home Alone video last week too and I have to say it was HILARIOUS!!! Those magpies get me every time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@soyuzdavillan721 It's a reference to the show Batwoman. There's a character named Jacob who said that. They've been watching Batwoman and constantly criticizing and making fun of its problems. I'm not sure why that line in particular became such a big joke -- but it's from Batwoman.
Stupid big Pryamid-head knockoff lightly tapping the gate with his hammer is comedy gold. I especially love it that they just drop the plaga strain here and never explain it, nor how that thing is smart enough to use weapons.
I'll never forget how upset I was when I found out the first one of these movies to feature 3d was also the first one to not include Milla Jovovich naked. What a shame 😔
oh man, the wesker fight might break rags. Also there are a lot of guns and transition errors in this movie. If rags doesnt notice the showers, i am done with the bad shiba
Truly a series on par with The Godfather, Lord of the Rings and so many other amazing films! The contradictions and non coherent plot from movie to movie has truly proven how talented Anderson is, the shoving of his wife into the films as a fanfiction Mary Sue surrounded by a mix of decent to abhorrent acting and bizarre clone fetish just adds to the masterful techniques on display. Why I dare say the nonsensical action scenes, ass chewing CGI, overuse of slow motion and seizure inducing editing in the final chapter are some of the greatest... effects ever brought to the big screen! I love how it goes against the norm and makes no fucking sense whatsoever after the butchering of the first three games plots and proudly embraces this all the way to the end, the random hollow references to the games, the absolute waste of the original beloved characters is just so good I gotta say I love how much they absolutely ruined Wesker especially! This series was definitely snubbed at the Oscars! Gotta love Resident Alice!
I remember I used to think Afterbirth was where the series went downhill but on closer inspection that third movie really did screw everything up first.
He'll become Wazzkler by the end of the series, a being who doesn't even come close to the over the top loveable Albert Wesker, doesn't even keep his matrix fashion fetish beyond this film beyond sunglasses 😎😂
57:05...I like how Rags points out that sort of attention to detail of "but there's no poop in the sewer, it's been 4 1/2 years since the apocalypse"...and yet didn't mention that there's still somehow running-water in the water mains (with all the broken pipes spraying it everywhere). XD
When I was a kid, my best friends' house, I sht you not, had a bathroom at a three way intersection. I loved the feeling of being there, but the room placement made negative sense.
Kmart’s actual name was Daliah Julia Mancini…. At least it was in the movie tie-in novels. A lot of people, including myself, wanted her to turn out to be Sherry Birkin.
@@azh698 yeah I was sad that Jason Isaacs couldn’t come back. I kept hoping he would finally reappear after Harry Potter ended, especially for the last film for a bookend, but nothing, and then Kmart didn’t come back for either of the last two films either.
@@jackobrien47 not the first three. Keith R. A. Decandido was actually trying. Afterlife didn’t have a book and then the other two were done by different writers. I refer to the first three as the Decandidoverse, cause he actually had a plan that didn’t get to be fulfilled for some reason.
