Goofs
When the zombie lab tech attacks Spence in the water filled laboratory, he fires several rounds from a large caliber semi-automatic handgun without a silencer. The weapon appears to be a .45-caliber Colt 1911. It should make a resounding "boom" when fired, especially in that small space. Although there is a subdued "boom," the shots sound much more like those of silenced weapon.

When the lab at the beginning of the movie is filling with water, the camera scans the female scientist and her name shows up as Dr. Anna Bolt. Anna Bolt is the actress' name while her character is Dr. Green.

At the beginning of the movie, you can see the floor outside the elevator bending under the woman's weight as she tries to escape the elevator.

Q
Is there a novelization of "Resident Evil"?
A
Yes. Resident Evil: Genesis (2004) by Keith R.A. DeCandido is a novelization of Resident Evil (the first movie). DeCandido has also written novelizations of the other two movies: Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), and Resident Evil: Extinction (2007). There is also a Japanese novelization of the first Resident Evil film by Japanese writer Osamu Makino titled Biohazard (2002). Makino's novel is unrelated to DeCandido's version. There are also a number of novelizations of the videogame series, writen by S.D. Perry, but these are unrelated to the movies.
Q
Why don't the movies have the same storyline as the games?
A
One theory is that CAPCOM (the game creators) were afraid that people wouldn't buy the games when they could just watch the movies, so they fired director George A. Romero because his script was too similar to the games, and they hired Paul W.S. Anderson to keep the atmosphere of the games but come up with a different story. However, CAPCOM Public Relations Personnel deny that Romero was ever attached to the project and that CAPCOM had no direct influence over the movie. CAPCOM claims that it was Anderson who did not want the movie to match the game because he feared that, if viewers played the game, they would not be scared watching the movie, since they would know what is going to happen.
Q
How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?
A
For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDbs Parents Guide for this movie.
