Revisiting Resident Evil 2 Commercials

[@KHaskins23]

The commercials George A. Romero made were unbelievably awesome plus he should've did a tied & true RE movie.

[@billzco6137]

R.I.P. George A. Romero

[@razieltalos]

His script for RE was fn awesome. So much better than what we got

[@comedygeneration1984]

I wish he would have made the film... i bet he would have built his own Spencer mansion haha

[@TheTrutherFiles]

That wanted him to make it, it got canceled

[@spideymatt93]

@@comedygeneration1984 Honestly, I would've loved an adaptation of S.D. Perry's novels! Starting of course with Zero Hour!

[@BiohazardQueen]

I still wish Romero had made the Resident Evil live action movies. When I was a kid his old zombie movies use to scare me .

[@benedictbaawa3463]

Yeah George Romero is a great director , but why are you guys not mentioning Zack Snyder ? His Dawn of the Dead movie is fucking scary

[@StillTheVoid]

Because fuck his batman v superman bullshit movie. Im sure god hated the film like we did...thats why he took his daughter away.

[@StillTheVoid]

and now its too late. RIP George! :(

[@BiohazardQueen]

@@benedictbaawa3463 because I was already over my fear of zombies by then . I dont dislike the remake. I just like old zombie movies better . Something about them creeping up on you at night and you can't hear them . I dont know i just find that what you cant see is scary. But everyone has a different opinion of what is scary to them .

[@BiohazardQueen]

@Joe Black that was scary as hell in my opinion too . I didnt go into a grave yard for years but yet Freddy, jason, chuck, etc never scared me and I been watching horror movies since I was 12 days old literally. But I got over the fear of zombies when I was 10 . Now I just laugh at horror movies . And when I go to haunted attractions in October I just can't find it scary .

Man, imagine a Resident Evil movie directed by George Romero. I'd have loved to see that.

[@AJadedLizard]

You can actually read his script online. It's...on par for most of his other films. I fucking hated it (I generally dislike Romero's bone-stupid characters) but if you're a fan of his work it's worth checking out.

What about Claire, who casted as her in the live action George Romero commercials?

[@TheDegradingSeeker]

The actor from Romeros trailer, Brad Renfro, sadly died some time ago, as far as Claire goes i can only assume she doesnt act anymore or is too old for the character

[@ricardobelmont5984]

Commercials back in the day got you so hyped for anything. Regardless of how goofy abd cheesy they were. Crossfire!!!!! Anyway another fantastic video abd glad to be a supporter. You kmow any time I hear algorithm it reminds me of the entity called the arbitrator in madness combat.

[@ScorePN]

Yea, they did such a great job they literally got me and my older brother to spend over $40 or $50 bucks on Superman 64. I think that was the first time I ever experienced complete disappointment after spending too much money on a game lol

[@MrBillgonzo]

YOU'LL GET CAUGHT UP IN IT! HOO!

[@InkRibbon]

Omg the 90s were amazing. I feel like I NEVER saw videogame commercials on TV though. Maybe I was watching the wrong channel as a kid

[@MickieTarot]

Or maybe the right chanel 😏

[@WarlockX4]

The one thing I remember from all these resident evil commercials is this: "Everyone's going to die!!!"

[@wwe_nodq]

CHIEF IRONS: “EVERYONE IS GONNA DIE!” 4:49

[@muccmaster]

That's the one I remember as a kid. Always loved that line. RE2make was great but I was bummed Irons didn't have that line and his death was weak compared to the original.

[@umbrellacorporationwuhanfa3731]

That's the ONLY commercial for R.E i remembered as a teen and the reason I'm here looking for it. 90's where sum strange times as a teen. Thanks bro! I remember the line being a bit more dramatic though...🤔

[@j0hn643]

Game company's should really go back to making live action commercials

[@amyhoard1222]

EA prob could have sold Anthem if they would have done live action commercials, cause you can sell anything that way, if done right. Luckily EA didn't.

[@Altegore]

Nah, these are cool but i prefer trailers, especially gameplay trailers as you really see what's up... These do not show you what you are getting, hence why they were able to sell trash like gun survivor...

[@Menaceblue3]

@@Altegore different strokes but I see your opinion!

[@DirdyJoker]

I think it depends on the game. Like the CGI/acting for Overkill's The Walking Dead, it gave everyone high hopes. It should've been a mix of CGI and actual gameplay like these old school trailers use.

[@ivanchomwrcado8865]

No

[@toratio8547]

It’s worth remembering that Romero made commercials before he became a filmmaker, so it’s not a surprise he did a great job

[@randominternetweirdo5479]

I love how the first ad in this video has wallpaper similar to an area in the second floor of the Spencer Mansion. The guy shaving in that one kinda looks like Jon Bernthal.

[@stompinromos]

This account is incredible. Thanks for all this content!

[@ReonMagnum]

Gotta love how Leon has his Desert Eagle here, and clutching several .50 AE cartridges. A magnum might be overkill for normal zombies, but is perfect for the BOWs he'll face later (assuming he doesn't run out of ammo first). The Remake trailer has Leon wielding his Desert Eagle again, which is great.

[@amyhoard1222]

A magnum was an overkill on the original re2 zombies, yet not as much an overkill on re2 remake zombies that won't stay down even after emptying the handgun's clip in it : /

[@ReonMagnum]

[@megalodonscortex7578]

Everyone who is wondering what happen to original actors for Ramero’s RE2 commercial. I am only aware of one the actors fates. From what I heard the man who played Leon died at a young age during his early 20’s from a overdose. The woman who played Claire I am not sure about her. last I heard she just went off the radar doing something else with her life is last thing read about it from someone up loading the Ramero RE2 commercials on KZbin. This was years ago so this pretty old info from what I can remember. If anyone knows more about the 2 actors please speak up about it. It would be cool to see interviews for everyone that was involved with RE series that became a giant success for all these years. Score PN you should do interviews from all games you talk about. You consider bit chute as an option to look into. Just saying.

[@average_joe9481]

The actor who played Leon was the late great Brad Renfro (he unfortunately passed away due to a Heroin overdose in January of 2008).

[@X4MaT1T]

The actress of Claire Redfield in Romero commercial is Adrienne Frantz, the actress who portrayed “Amber Moore” in the soap opera series of “Beautiful”...

[@GoreyBits]

This just makes me miss George Romero even more

[@oohweerick8326]

The remake commercial Leon is using a desert eagle or lightning hawk which is a one shot headshot kill

[@johnrandolph1989]

These two Resident Evil 2 commercials by the late George Romero is way better than World War Z. KZbin cencorship can bite my hairy ass. Keep doing what you're doing and have an awesome day.

[@BlackVulcan22]

The PS1 RE2 commerical was AMAZING. I remember, at the end of the clip, it was supposed to show Leon emptying a clip from the submachine gun into the dog kennels. I guess they edited the clip. It was literally after Irons yells, "Everyone's gonna die!"

All the 90's Capcom commercials were nostalgia, you should make a video showing them some are actually funny and cool just like the Romero one

[@smithwesson1896]

The guy that played live action Leon died. That's why they couldn't get him. They couldn't even have gotten the mo-cap actors.

[@ashes2ashes20]

Hats off to you for not giving up. Even after YT decided to make creating content a fruitless endeavor for anyone who doesn't immediately make them tons of $$$. Its almost like they dont realize that what's popular is also fleeting. What's not popular today could possibly be the biggest channel tomorrow if only given an opportunity.

[@ScorePN]

Well said Joshua, I have been waiting for so long for that opportunity to kick in, I've always believed that if you work really hard then you SHOULD have great results, Specially if you're very passionate with what you do. But then I see content like lazy vlogs, people flexing or sitting there "reacting" to trending videos and they're rising to the top? The world is so upside down these days..and I feel very tired lol

He meant the models whose faces they scanned for the remake. But it's obvious why they didn't use them, because they're models and not actors.

[@Lauren_Tyler]

The reason they didn't use the original actors in the commercial for REmake 2 is because Brad Renfro, the actor who played Leon in the original commercial, died in 2008.

[@rodgomez4424]

That actor that portrayed Leon in the re2 Romero commercial, died some time ago, I remember him as the kid who witnessed a man commit suicide in that 90's Susan sarandon movie.

“THIS is how you sell a Resident Evil title!” I couldn’t agree more with ya, man! Back then, people really knew how to make a commercial that sells a product. And the idea that this commercial was directed by the King of the Living Dead himself, just makes it more awesome. I wish we could make more epic commercials like these, again. Because these days, we really forgot how to sell a product.
