Are you guys going to sell a best of on physical vhs?

11:23 😬😬😬 No wonder the fan base is a mess I love RE and noooo none of the movies came close.

[@kurtadams9740]

A good idea would be Tony and keiran talking about the resident evil games a bit more in depth with game footage. I'm sure keiran has a lot more to say about the series than he got to cover here.

[@darwinespinoza3440]

I’m so glad you guys mentioned the scene where it’s implied that something got out. I’ve theorized that scene for years. And nobody seemed to remember it until you guys.

[@bhumibolrushing7830]

This movie is a masterpiece compared to the others. It was more of a horror movie and less of an action movie

[@manoo2056]

Same as First Blood then. It is very difficult to escape that trend in sequels.

[@alexives9274]

@@manoo2056 first blood was a horror movie? 😳

[@ivanelgharbi5861]

I think that the others movies made the first one to fade onto obscurity, if the saga ended in like 2 or 3 movies, I think the first one would be remembered better. And no "one of those terrible resident evil movies"

[@perrymehta6438]

@bbum The first two are my fav. Apoclypase is my fav and the best of the series

I agree with Keiran on literally everything he says from the games to the movies. Good taste bro

[@robk.6591]

RIP James "One" Shade. He was my favorite character.

[@Amber_xo_133]

All the minor cuts and bruises on Milla Jovovich's character are real. No make-up was applied. Milla Jovovich said the real reason she did this movie was because her brother Marko was a huge fan of the video games. The presidents of Capcom Japan and America have cameos as zombies. Capcom created the Resident Evil series. The main actors were told to prepare for the film by getting copies of the games and playing them through. Some of them didn't know if they could complete them in time so they had to get video copies of other people beating the games and then watch it. (at around 1h 30 mins) There is a shot of Alice's eye close up near the end of the film. This is a direct reference to the first game in the series Milla Jovovich's character's name, Alice, is only revealed during the credits. (at around 11 mins) The wedding picture of Alice and Spencer looks similar to the pictures from Resident Evil (1996) and Resident Evil 2 (1998) (with the subjects up close and spliced onto the background image, and always in black and white). Even though they're everywhere, the word "zombie" is never spoken in this film. (at around 1h 27 mins) Near the end, when the underground tram pulls back to the Mansion station, the serial number on the front of the lead car reads "ALEXIA" followed by a string of digits. Alexia Ashford is the final antagonist of Resident Evil Code: Veronica. Also, Underground Trams are a recurring mode of transportation in the Resident Evil games. In the movie, Alice's fake husband is named Spence. This is a reference to the first game which took place in a mansion named the Spencer Estate. Also, one of the three founders of Umbrella Corporation in the game series is named Ozwell Spencer. The makeup department and crew had a hard time dealing with the dogs, who kept licking the zombie makeup, blood and meat off of themselves. The studio, Sony Pictures, had hoped at one time to make the film PG-13 so as to make the film more marketable to the younger video game fans, but director Paul W.S Anderson insisted that to be true to the game, the film must be rated R. Milla Jovovich and Paul W.S. Anderson, who met on the set of "Resident Evil", were married on 22nd August 2009 and (as of January 2019) have two children. Like in the games, after something is switched on/off, something else happens elsewhere. When the Red Queen is deactivated for the first time, all doors elsewhere are opened.

I love that Kieran was genuinely concerned that his mom would watch this and that this would be the moment she was disappointed or upset with him.

[@paulnicholas7798]

Tony is insufferable with his fake laff waiting to switch topic to stay on script....he needs to learn how to make it more Natural .....I came cuz Newt was not here. And I remember how bad Tony is. Dude....you edit these... why act so muchblile you want your guest to "move on".....edit it later bud. Be cool

[@paulnicholas7798]

I take back . I .made that comment early. And . Well. It was better. I want Tony to do well. Because I enjoy watching Tony movie content. I was just being a dick. Have Keiran back like this. With Crystal maybe she would be so fun in this combo

[@kurtfranklin2680]

When I saw this in the theatre I thought it was okay. Strange because it didn’t have the characters you’d expect. Instead you had milla playing an anime portag. I was a big milla fan so that was okay by me. But the movie was definite b grade schlock. Good actors, but bad direction and editing. Aliens ripoff in plot, Matrix ripoff in style. Early 2000’s to the max. Right down to M Rod in the part she always plays. I’d say the sequel apocalypse is both better and worse. Always great to see Kieran!👍

[@wstine79]

I remember reading about this in fangoria magazine. After watching it at a midnight screening, I thought it was great but it could have used more blood and gore. The score to the movie was awesome.

[@HellKnight20]

Halon stopped being used mostly in the early 90s, due to it being a very high ozone depleting substance. Less to do with how deadly it can be, it’s not banned outright however. It’s banned and illegal to manufacture. High level government/military can still use it, along with aircraft. I work in the industry, so I have a little understanding

[@kaijudude_]

Can confirm, I'm in the Navy and we still use halon on the ships in the main engine spaces and aux spaces. We have to use EBDs to escape a space that halon was set off in typically we only have 10 mins tops.

50:00 The group was separated when the explosion happened from the tanks. Matt and Alice were grouped and the rest were over by the doors. Alice loses Matt because he is uncuffed and can now go off to find his sister. The others end up in that middle room with multiple doors connected to the red queens chamber. There are zombies outside the door into that room in the 'dining hall', so Alice isn't going to make her way through that crowd, she goes off to find another way. She finds Matt and they are chased by zombies back to the group through another door leading into that room they all were hiding in. I think it all makes sense, I do wish we seen the zombie chase from the beginning tho.

[@Assimandeli]

The laser hallway scene was done better in the Cube. In the Cube it just wasn't laser, though, but I think sharp wire or something if I remember correctly. That would be a good film for Hack the Movies btw

Fun fact: I rented this film from Blockbuster back in the day. I was in high school, so some time between 2002-2006. To take advantage of my limited time with the rental, this was the first film that I ever sat and watched with the commentary on. I don't remember any of the commentary, but I'm mentioning it because y'all mentioned it.

[@thefatmanbatman9822]

[@mmickle6191]

I think you guys are right, Resident Evil did probably trigger the slow rise of zombie popularity that gave us this movie and then Shaun of the Dead, triggering all sorts of zombie movies and the Walking Dead. (tho' I feel The Walking Dead could also perhaps be the cause of exhausting the scene too)

[@Ambichan]

I miss Newt. Hope he's doing ok.

[@alansmithee3336]

I don't buy the film being underrated (for me it badly lacked atmosphere & genuine scares) but the games are great. The first one in particular is a work of genius IMO. Many modern games are so sprawling & convoluted that i find them off-putting but the construction of RE1's narrative and gameplay mechanics were pitch-perfect with barely an ounce of flab. The outstanding remake on the Gamecube is still one of my all-time-favourite gaming experiences. Great video, guys.

[@seraphim_hawkk]

I like Resident Evil 5, it’s a weird guilty pleasure for me. I wish they didn’t hack it to death

Similar to the Fast and/or Furious series, I think a big part of whether or not you enjoy these movies hinges on if you think the lead character is as cool as THEY think they are.

I saw this one in theater. I remember coming away thinking it was a cool movie, but at the same time I didn't like all the CG monster/mutants. I wanted it to be more horror than action, but it was still enjoyable. I was hoping the following movies would get gradually better as their budgets got better but that never happened. I also wanted to see the main characters from the games but that never happened either. It was like a version of Resident Evil set in another dimension where they didn't exist.

Funny thing about the cemetery scene in the 2nd RE movie is there is a deleted scene where the characters acknowledge how dumb it is going through a cemetery haha. I always find some dumb fun with the sequels, but they have issues. I think 4 was the worst, though. Like almost unwatchable bad. The shoehorning of random RE alumni without introduction is really stupid, though, and just bad writing (or lack thereof). RE6 game is pretty terrible. Definitely worst RE game. Only way I made it through was with a friend to suffer along playing through it online.

[@kidcrossfire3489]

I think the SECOND movie is maybe the worst movie I’ve ever seen in a theater. It’s a toss-up between that and MK Annihilation, and both are sequels to movies directed by…Paul WS Anderson! One of my favorite parts of the terrible RE sequels is how when it came time to market the next one, Jovovich was always like “THIS one is for the fans!”, which just makes it sound like NONE of them were for anyone.

[@drownthepoor]

Resident Evil 2 was the first Playstation game I ever saw. I was like 7 and already obsessed with horror films, and when I saw that game it changed everything I knew about video games. Before that, video games to me were just Sonic and Mario/Duck Hunt. At 8 or 9 playing Resident Evil 1, 2, and 3 (I was prolly 13 by then) it seriously stressed me out. My ears would get hot and red and my mother showed concern(something she wasn't noted for). Resident Evil 4 was great, but it didn't have the same feel at all. Resident Evil 5 was terrible, fun as an arcade game though. I skipped 6 altogether, tried the demo and wasn't impressed. The remake of the original is one of the best games ever made, and Resident Evil 0 is also pretty great. I didn't have Gamecube so I didn't get to play those two until I had a good PC. Recently I got a PS5, and got the remake of 2. Very impressed with it so far, haven't finished it. And then I got 7, and I'm about 70% through it. It's excellent, and it doesn't feel like the originals or 4. Can't sleep on Silent Hill though. Silent Hill 1 & 2 are truly unique and creepy games. Dead Space is a masterpiece too. When I saw the first Resident Evil in theaters I was fully disappointed by it, but yeah today it's the best of the series. Raccoon City was NOT supposed to be a 1 million person city. It was a rural small town originally. I'd compare it to Lancaster Pennsylvania. In the movies and the REmake of 2 they've expanded the city by a lot. Also in the movie I hated that the lab was a huge complex. In the games is large, but it's not a city.

[@sicknsaneofficial8646]

Of the Resident Evil(Not Animated) Movies. The first one was actually not bad. I didn't even mind it not being based on a game character and I thought Alice just being sort of a badass martial artist was cool. After that though... Sooo bad. Fun popcorn Movies. but, LOUSY Resident Evil movies.

RE5 is good. If people like 4 then why not 5? 4 already ruined the story so gameplay was all I cared about at that point and the gameplay in 5 is solid. Especially co-op campaign. It's the 1st in the series and it works great.

My concern at the time of this film's original release was I found out early on that basically nobody from the games was represented here and that originally soured me to wanting to see it. My brother and I played RE: Director's Cut to death, beat RE2 a few times, and I beat RE: Code Veronica a few times by the time we had an opportunity to watch this film the first time, and I just couldn't get past the absences of Jill, Chris, AND Wesker in this first entry at the time. I was stuck in this mindset of "who is this random chick Alice who was never in any of the games" and that very much colored my ability to enjoy it as an "adaptation" of the series.
