My favorite thing about this movie is that the evil ai is actually not evil. it's trying to save the most people it can.

[@pete_lind]

Fellow Canadian Phelan “Phelous” Porteous has best reviews of the movies and games, and whats wrong with them . This movie is just like game , from point A to point B , and avoid some monsters. Rest movies in series do no match games and they have some amnesia problem with director .

[@citisoccer]

Yep. To everyone above ground, the AI is a hero.

[@ge2719]

except the easiest way to save everyone/the most people would be to lock the place down and tell them where the antidote is, and not let them out until they all take some. murdering everyone just in case is not a very moral first plan for an AI.

[@rastallano]

@bryanneal939 same, I was around 8 or 9 but my dad played resident evil religiously so me and my siblings all loved it. I remember having to leave the theater for a few min at the scene where she kills the security guard zombie & dogs. I was too freaked out, had to take a breather 😂

This has one of the best commentary tracks from the cast showing up hungover to Mila talking about The Simpsons and criticizing the soundtrack It's so funny

[@TheScienceBoy]

Funny because I think the soundtrack is awesome. I don't think this movie would be 50% as good without Marilyn Manson's music. Top 5 soundtracks for me, up there with Tron: Legacy.

[@tehawfulestface1337]

I’m with George. I don’t feel guilty. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen the first one. I’ve shown this to every member of the family. You just have to ‘survive’ that hallway, and the fun ride begins. Good or bad, I have every sequel in my film library. I also love the animated series.

The Red Queen did nothing wrong really, i mean she did her best to contain the infection, and only acted logically to stop the virus escaping.

[@MrDandyMoustachu]

She's a bit sadistic playing with the human in the elevator, and in the lazer hallway

[@LiberPater777]

_"You're all going to (I'd get censored for using the word that goes here) down here, _*_dorks."_*

[@Duffman69able]

That’s why we have human beings in charge of things like this, not robots

[@scorpiongurlz89]

​@@MrDandyMoustachuThis just my own personal thought, I don't think the Red Queen was being sadistic. It didn't seem it had camera in the elevator, so it didn't realize that there's humans still alive until that woman squeezing through that open door. Red Queen probably want to drop the elevator right away, then realized they won't all die with that height, so it pull the elevator higher so they all die on impact. And about the lazer, rather than sadistic, I just think it probably just wanted to kill them with the first attack, but the kept dodging. It also remind me the increase difficulties in games.

[@theduckfromthejoke152]

​@@scorpiongurlz89I mean it all fairness... All these people are really the bad guys.They all worked for the corporation that made this nonsense... The the red queen is their creation... It really doesn't matter what she does it represents. The p the people who made this whole situation which is the same people they work for... She's the same as them.They're all pawns in the game, But The computer? Doesn't have the free will to choose to do something differently.Of course, she didn't do anything bad because that's not a thing.She can do.She just does what they wanted her to the rest of them are kind of getting what they deserve, including the zombie people and the company.And even the security... The problem with personifying the a I computer is that it takes responsibility away from the creators and the profits that drove them.. It's definitely not the computer.That's the problem

[@majimasmajimemes1156]

I love how unnecessarily metal so much of this movie is.

[@NightwingTV]

[@AnimalAlmighty]

Hahhaaa😂

[@reconsoldier135]

More metal 🤘🏻 is always necessary

[@usafa2000]

I could be wrong but this is the first movie that uses that crazy alarm/alert tone. It's totally alien to any other alert sound at the time and really adds to the sound design of the movie.

[@krognak]

I always remembered it as the multiplayer alarm from Perfect Dark on the N64! It was surreal hearing it in a film.

[@jagdtony]

I think it’s also the countdown sound for the Nuke kill streak on MW2 lol

[@Enigma1788]

Nowadays, it's considered to be a stock sound effect, but it had been used previously in several video games. The first time I remember hearing it was in the N64 version of Mission: Impossible. I believe it was also used in one of the Duke Nukem games, but one of the most prominent uses was in the original Perfect Dark. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it was picked for this film specifically BECAUSE of the fact that at the time it was a little used stock sound effect that was used in several video games.

[@vighneshpillai7996]

I know the dialogues of these films like the back of my hand. It's so cheeky and fun.

[@gab2v7]

The games also took some stuff from the movies, like the room with lasers appearing in RE4 and the character Alyssa Ashcroft from Outbreak being very reminiscent of Alice, which we never learn her name in the first movie.

[@verygooster]

I saw this as a teen in theaters and remember being hung up about not being accurate to the games and we were "denied" George Romero's possible take on it. But over the years I came to appreciate it as a solid action movie in its own right. 2002 also gave us the much beloved Gamecube remake of the original Resident Evil, a game that still mostly holds up 20+ years later, and Resident Evil Zero.

[@Enigma1788]

All things considered, you COULD have potentially made this film work with the original game with some very minor retcons that don't disturb the flow of the original game too much. It actually would have been very easy to slot it in as a prequel film, and up until the second film was released and went wild with its own continuity, I really don't think anyone would have batted an eye if Capcom turned around and said this was canon to the main continuity. Key things with the films: you have to approach them as their own continuity and throw your knowledge of the games out the window. I know that's sometimes far easier said than done, but I feel the film series is actually fairly enjoyable for the most part if you can do that.

[@uburton]

I think the first film was deliberately made as essentially a sub-plot to the games. That approach only lasted until the second film, though. That's probably one of the reasons that this one's my favourite of the films.

[@Beforezzz]

The remake is another reason why it made more sense for the movie not to be a direct copy & paste of RE1.

[@Tommieboy2009]

Filmed at an old subway station in Berlin btw...

[@SpeedColt]

Not a old subway station. It is the central station of berlin befor he was opened. So, he was at this time under construction.

[@IgorCamilo]

@SpeedColt Missed by 1 station. That’s actually U5 Bundestag. I also read that the exterior part of the mansion is in Potsdam but I can’t confirm.

[@SpeedColt]

@IgorCamilo I think you are right. Somehow is was in my mind with the central station. But from the size of the station it must be subway station Bundestag. My fault i think the mansion and the Cemetery are in potsdam or near by. 🧟🧟‍♂

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

Good to know.

[@Tremain]

That laser going into a checkered pattern is one of those movie moments that stays with you forever, like the wood carrying truck in final destination.

[@mctown972]

The soundtrack for this movie is so good

[@parker469a]

Yeah, Marilyn Manson did a great job on this and his former band mate Trent Reznor tends to also do a great job on movie soundtracks he works on as well such as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, and Watchmen.

George: "I know it's not a great work of art." It is. This is a genuinely great piece of film-making, with a stellar cast, writing, direction, production design and plot. It's a great work of art.

​@@christopherb501 Oh god yes, RE2 has a couple of enjoyable scenes, then there is a serious dip, and then we are firmliy into "So bad it's hilarious" territory. The thing that gets me is the production quality never drops, so they must be making their money back somehow.

Infodump time: They filmed the ending sequence outside my work on a Sunday, I can still see myself in one of the windows on the right as I was trying to figure out why the street was totalled. (Was alone working in a call centre that day.) I was so happy when I realized what movie it was for. They also filmed parts of Death to Smoochy across the street (I ran into Danny DeVito while out on a smoke break, he was directing), as well as 2005's Fantastic Four (the same door Mila exits was the entrance to the "Baxter Building" when Stan Lee is there as a mailman). That area is Adelaide St East in downtown Toronto. Loved your reaction as always, keep up the great work!

[@santiagorincon8579]

That's so great

[@theflaxxensaxxentake1874]

The most horrifying part of this movie for me, is realizing that the red queen killed everyone using Halon.

[@markcarpenter6020]

Fun fact. When this movie came out I was working in a laboratory and it had a Halon system. Still remember them explaining my first day of work that if the system ever went off I had roughly 30 seconds to get out of the lab or to the emergency oxygen before I would suffocate.

Treasure memories like that. I lost my Dad back in 2018. The happy memory of me and him driving a steam locomotive at a rail museum day out for his 60th b'day is what helps me cope with losing him. He drove and I shovelled coal, then vice versa...

[@richiecabral3602]

If you want to see a couple earlier roles from Milla Jovovich, I don't think you guys have seen Richard Linklater's "Dazed And Confused" yet. Honestly, that might've been the first thing she'd been in as she was transitioning from being a model into an actor, and she's basically a glorified extra in it, that is mainly there to look hot, but it's still a now classic comedy about 70s era Texas high-school, from the 90s, that you should see anyway. The other one is "Kuffs", which is a 90s action/comedy cop movie with Christian Slater, that's probably been largely forgotten, but I think is funny, and is just a real fun watch! She plays the love interest in that one, so still not like it's her movie, but it was a much bigger role for her at the time.

[@thoriated]

First time I saw her was on an episode of "Married with Children". She played a foreign exchange student hosted by the Bundy's who usurped Kelly's spot as the hot girl at school. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKe0iHiql6aFkLM (she was 13 when this was recorded)

[@richiecabral3602]

@thoriated oh! You know what? I probably did see that back in the day, but forgot about it, and probably still didn't really know who she was when I did, so good one, but you got me curious, so I looked it up, and I completely forgot that she was in "Return To The Blue Lagoon", which with maybe the exception of that "Married With Children" episode, is totally how I first was aware of her! Can't believe I forgot that one! That's crazy how young she was! I had this idea that she was like a big model turned actress, but apparently her mother was a failed actress, and started trying to make her one, very young.

[@Elmarby]

I remember Kuffs. And I totally agree, that was a fun movie. Strange how it seems to have totally disappeared.

Resident Trivia: When Marylin Manson was writing the score, he added sound effects in some parts because he felt the film needed it there. They ended up leaving those in because they fit so well.

20:50 Yes they are referred to as 'lickers'. Their lance like tongues are said to be sharp enough to pierce through flesh and bone. They were first introduced in the original second game, where you had to engage them rather than elude them, even though their appearance suggested that the latter option is feasible. In later instalments of the game franchise (cgi movies included) and in the remake of Resident Evil 2, it has since been established that lickers could be evaded successfully, provided you don't make a racket of course.

I used to work in a tower building on the upper floors. Our elevator bank would go up and down pretty fast. On the top floor was the observation floor. You would hear screaming when a bunch of kids were riding down from the Observation floor, because they weren't used to fast elevators. Milla's oldest daughter looks a lot like her.

Okay… this is literally my childhood-adulthood series. I love them so much, despite how insane they get later. For sure a guilty pleasure in the sense of telling people gets a reaction, but like George i love these movies!

I wouldn't necessarily call it an "adaptation". Sure, they took some ideas from the games, but that's about it.

3:59 "who here has been trapped in an elevator before?" so I actually check the inspection certificates on elevators and it’s shocking how often the posted cert is expired. It is still possible the building has current certificates on file but also I’m not gonna go check that before deciding to take the stairs instead.

[@wampa25]

4:06 - I get trapped in an elevator every time I'm in one. I just can't get out until those doors open.

[@CJSanta]

So excited to see you guys react to this! A huge favorite of mine, you two need to react to the WHOLE series, its super fun and entertaining. 😊

[@daveemerson6549]

I used to work nights in a hospital with poorly maintained freight elevators. I was trapped in one for 4 hours one night with a corpse on it's way to the morgue.

[@Johnny_Socko]

Well THAT'S awful. But I hope you share that story as often as humanly possible, because I would!

[@kirstonemmm1423]

The soundtrack and score for this movie is freakin' awesome.

[@robertczar3060]

i want to reinforce George on this: when this movie came out this was the best video game adaptation so far

[@DrummingOtaku]

I still think it is one of the best.

[@alexanderchalk6197]

The first mortal Kombat was fun and street fighter was so bad it was good. But I'll have to agree with you

[@charmnasesusnajero3377]

I'm so happy with this. I have actually been wondering why not a lot of reaction channels react to this franchise..

[@michelle6337]

As an avid lover of the games, I remember being disappointed when the movies came out because they were so different from the games. But 20 years later I actually own the box set of all the movies. They definitely won't win any awards but they're a fun time.

[@wethepeople6642]

1 and 2 are definitely my favorite movies. Milla Jovovich gas always been my screen crush. Amazing Reaction Guys 😎

[@kevinkuptz7397]

the elevator death is your favorite death??? really?? I cant even think of this movie without thinking of the laser grid death

[@lexpresley7094]

For the bodies in the hallway as to why they disappeared was supposed to be a reference to the game. As you die in games, your body disappears.

RE 2, 4 & 5 were filmed in Toronto. Welcome to Racoon City was filmed in Sudbury.

[@CineRam]

It's funny that this movie came out the same year as the first Jason Bourne movie. You wake up, you don't know who you are...but you have skills in hand-to-hand and weapons! There's a Liam Neeson movie called "Unknown" that's similar in some ways. When you guys watched the first Fast And Furious, you seemed surprised that Michelle Rodriguez had so little to do. I guess Resident Evil (which came out the following year) was what made her an action star. She's been in at least fifteen, by my count. MIlla Jovovich has also been in several outside of this franchise. I consider them to be the two most prolific female actions stars working today. Scarlett Johanssen has only been in three action-hero roles outside of Marvel.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

Charlize Theron has 4 or 5 (including the Furiosa roles).

[@CineRam]

@@Deathbird_Mitch I forgot about her, good call.

Most of the Resident Evil movies surprise me how good they are... every single time I watch them Especially the first one.

[@coreyhendricks9490]

Milla Jovovich was great in The Fifth Element and now she's great in this film and also the franchise as well, cool reaction as always Simone & George, you both take care and have a nice day

[@AtelierOfWeebs]

38:29 another fun fact: That’s Jason Isaacs right there (Lucius Malfoy) he was supposed to play William Birkin in the second movie, also that was his voice narrating the beginning of the movie. But he couldn’t film the sequel, so they created a new character called Alexander Isaacs (in his honor) played by Iain Glein

[@theluckytwig]

In this reaction: Simone asks a question and god delivers an immediate answer through the film.

[@Enthymene]

That’s just good filmmaking. Similarly, I once saw a reaction to Jurassic Park where no less than three times the reactor asked a pertinent question and the film *immediately* showed them the answer.

[@zotharr]

Its just like in real life xD

[@Scallycowell]

The laser trap scene is like Paul W.S. Anderson saw the movie ‘Cube’ and said, “Yes, but Rectangle.”

[@Johnny_Socko]

The second movie is...not great, but at least it finally introduces some actual [human] characters from the games. I actually think the third movie is the next best one, primarily because of Russel Mulcahy's directing. Paul W.S. Anderson returned for the 4th through 6th movies, but the plots just became more and more bonkers. They did have some cool individual scenes though. And I'm not sure how I feel about Albert Wesker in the films. The portrayal is accurate to the games, but the game character was ridiculous, so...

[@feezus]

And while we're at it, I remember the Silent Hill film being pretty rad.

[@kagutsuchi969]

Fun fact, the canon of the movies was a deliberate choice by the game studios who thought that people who watched the movie wouldn’t want to play the game and vice versa if they knew the story.

[@LudusAurea]

No, it wasn’t. Capcom had literally nothing to do with this movie or the next 5 except granting copyright permission.

[@TheLegendOfRandy]

Obviously the games came first, but the laser room was so iconic that they actually added it to Resident Evil 4.

[@robertstuart480]

I think "Resident Evil" and "Silent Hill" were clearly the best videogame adaptations until the 2010s.

I had to stop playing this game while playing Resident Evil 3 because it was giving me nightmares. Having said that, it's one of the great video games of all-time for that very reason, and they did a great job with the movies.

[@danielburns8199]

Just a note. Along with the 7 live action films, there are 4 CGI full length films. Resident Evil: Degeneraton (2008) / Resident Evil: Damnation (2011 / Resident Evil: Vendetta (2017) / Resident Evil: Death Island (2023). All fit into the Lore/Cannon somewhere. Some incorporate a lot more of the video game characters. The CGI films are all fun watches and targeted at Adults.

I love your comment in the beginning about seeing the high level weapon and not able to use it. I remember being so pissed off in the Resident Evil 2 game when you go into the gun shop and there are literally dozens of guns, assault rifles, shotguns, accessories, ammo... and you only find a little bit when you search the place. Classic Square Soft, man.

[@Cadinho93]

Fun Fact: The laser hallway scene was so loved by the creator of Resident Evil 4 that he had to put it in the game. It's one of the few times I can think of a movie inspired the game to do it. Also, the fact there are 6 movies this franchise will forever remain the biggest movie franchise based off a video game.

[@jaredfalk7701]

Call of duty used a sniping scene right out of the movie Behind Enemy lines. Where you snipe Nazi officers in a town center fountain, only firing when explosions go off. Another good adaption from film to game.

[@Rocket1377]

The Red Queen computer was also added to the RE games after the movie came out.

[@ArienRiley]

If you can get a physical copy I suggest listening to the commentary track. It is hilarious with the actors cutting up and having fun. Most commentaries are boring with long pauses and the director pointing out technical issues. There would be an interesting tidbit occasionally. But the Resident Evil commentaries (at least the first three) were great. Also the commentaries for Armageddon, The Mummy, and The Mummy Returns.
