Changed the DVD picture to a better quality one. (Cipher Destiny 16:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC))

[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.

• • 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

[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)

[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)

[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)

[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)

[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)
