If it wasnt for Mila, Anderson wouldnt sell a single one of his movies...
-
I facepalmed when my wife said "which game is Alice in?"
-
Anderson: "Ladies and gentlements, my beautiful wife, the goddess of apocalypse"
-
We didn't deserve Sienna. They didn't deserve Sienna. The best Jill depiction ever.
-
I accidentally watched the Monster Hunter movie (stuck around for Tony Jaa), I’ve never played the games, but I remember thinking “why the hell is Milla Jovovich always the post apocalyptic Billy badass?” Then I learned who directed it, and it all made sense lol
-
Biggest sin of Apocalypse was how much they made Jill look like a geek next to Alice.
-
What's so striking to me is how the stories come off as so incoherent considering Paul W. S. Anderson directed 4 of the 6 films and produced and wrote ALL 6 films. Like, it's entirely on him, he couldn't keep the story straight.
-
Dude what they did with Luthor was absolutely foul, like legit no secondary character can live one movie without dying or being absent and come back just to die.
-
5:44 Poor Jill only gets one cool scene of headshotting a few zombies then Alice upstages her for the rest of the film.
-
My favorite theory as to why the movies kept coming out, going off base with lore breaks and ruining canon, was because Paul W. S. Anderson was writing RE fan fiction for his girlfriend/wife/main star Milla Jovovich.
-
"i was 9 when the second movie came out" uuurgh...be still, old beating heart.
-
4:56 that guy stumbling on the right gets me every time😂
-
Fun fact, each movie also has a novel tie in and those novels have the Herculean task of filling in the gaps between each movie. In particular the penultimate one actually details the entire battle at the White House (which it turns out IS against a rouge AI called the black queen) and details how Leon and Ada get eaten alive by a plant monster
-
It still blows me away. How ridiculous this movie series is. And how much more sense the video games make when you dig into lore.
-
Alien and Terminator has only two movies. The rest can be eliminated.
-
Here, let me explain the creative process, which should illuminate things for you a bit: Anderson: slams face down into a pile of suspicious white powder and INHALES deeply "WAHT IF I PUT MY HOT WIFE IN A MOVIE!!!!???" The End.
-
I've always thought it was hilarious that they spent 3 movies setting up the superpowered clones plot, then the 4th movie starts with them blowing up all the clones and taking away Alice's powers. It's like once they got it all set up even Paul W. Anderson realized how stupid that idea was for the RE franchise and had to quickly hit undo in the opening of the next movie.
-
I am convinced that Paul W.S. Anderson wrote the scripts for these movies without even rewatching his own movies. The fact that they not only shit all over the game lore, but can't even be consistent amongst themselves is just astonishing. Resident Evil deserves better, goddamn it!
-
I remember when 1 of my friends came to school excited to tell us he saw Resident Evil. Quickly another friend asked if you really do get to see Milla Jovovichs bush. He answered yes and it was lovely
-
Every single Resident Evil movie was made in the hopes that everyone who watched the last movie had severe brain damage or got zapped by a neuralyzer.
