As we all know, according to the Red Queen the human brain still has energy in it after death, sometimes it takes months to die out. The T Virus gives the brain a jolt and as a result: Zombies. In Apocolypse as they are walking through the cemetery they are attacked by zombies rising from the grave. The final zombie shown is one that is almost completly decomposed which would mean that there would not be a brain to receive a jolt from the T-Virus. How were these zombies created? Editing errors, a new virus, or just a play on a classic zombie attack?

I think the cemetary fight scene is purely down to pacing, as, biologically speaking, there's no reason why decomposed matter should be affected by the T-Virus. Much the same as the cemetary scene in Zombie Flesheaters, with the centuries-old conquistador corpses returning to life, it's purely for cinematic effect.

I think it's also like a shout out to Romero's work. Real classic grave rising stuff.

I felt that the biggest inconsistency in the original Resident Evil was how intact JD was when Alice met him in his zombified form. For a guy who got swarmed by a mob of flesh-eating zombies in an elevator, he didn't seem to have much eaten off him. Were they on a diet or something?

....except none of Romero's zombies ever rose from the grave. Even the 'cemetery ghoul' in the original Night wasn't actually buried when it reanimated (if you consider Russo's 30th Anniversary Edition to be remotely canon).

I'm gald someone else noticed that. When I first viewed RE: Apocolypse I wondered the very same thing, and to me it is an inconsistency in the story line, but I think that the cemetery zombies were used more for effect of how wide spread the T-Virus had become.

Hey, we never said that the RE movies were high art. Let's face it, 80% of films suffer from plot holes of some sort. You're absolutely correct that there's no reason, based on the physics of the film that mouldering corpses should bust out of their graves, mostly I think it was in homage to RE 3: Nemesis, the game. There's a really kick ass sequence in a graveyard where the zombies pop up out of the ground at Jill.

I called "bullsh!t" on the grave scene when I first saw it. But I just let it slide, because I'm one of those guys that watches movies for what they are, and I don't get too critical.

The only reasoning behind this that I can find is that the zombies attack as a form of procreation, as opposed to a form of consumption.

The whole reason this happened is because Paul W.S. Anderson is the one responsible for writing the movie. Nuff said. He's a moron and has proven time and time again he does not know anything of what he is doing.

Redneck Zombies is a TERRIBLE POS in case you haven't seen it. Although, it is the first film that I know of where a person attempts to imitate the zombies to get by them like they did in Shaun.

Man how many P. Anderson bashing movies have there been.... Haven't you all gotten it out of your system... Look no matter how you you view it, his movies have helped bring a rebirth into the genre... whether you like his movies or think they are shite so be it, his movies are purely action driven loosely based on a video game..... what do you expect!

Just because the movie had inconsistencies doesn't mean that it was written and directed badly. That falls upon the continuity supervisor. I started the thread to address inconsistencies only and not to bash the director/writer. You could start a new thread and place it under the anti-snyder thread. :)

Someone brought up zombies coming from graves, that was WRITTEN by P. Anderson for the movie, not an inconsistancy. And I'm sorry, 28 Days Later is what really pulled a revival for zombie movies (even though not zombies yada yada yada). Resident Evil was a tasteless piece of poop that has done a HUGE disservice to fans. There were enough people already playing the games that the movies did not draw in new people.

Same thing with AVP. Ruined another franchise that had SOOOOO much potential and we will never ever get the movie we've been waiting for. Another P. Anderson movie by coincidence. I don't go anywhere planning on bashing the guy and his work, it just turns out to always be him in the writer/director's chair when sh!t goes bad when discussing movies.

And if it's loosely based on a video game, it need not bear the same title. A zombie movie doesn't need to be Resident Evil. A zombie movie in a mall does not have to be a Dawn remake. They choose to use the name, so they need to back it up with some quality. That's what real fans expect, not those 13 year olds who think explosions are what make a movie cool.

I am a huge fan of the resident evil games as well as the movies. The movies were done wonderfully and gave a new perspective to the story. I for one am thankful that someone presented something new rather than showing us something that we have already played time after time. I read Romero's script for his version of Resident Evil and although it was good, it would've done a greater disservice to fans. (i.e. Barry died) So, in closing, I would like to state that everyone is entitled to their opinion. That is the great thing about America. But when I mentioned inconsistencies, I did not mean to open the floodgates in order for a director to be bashed. I was hoping for some funny anecdotes and stories that could be discussed rather than degrading a man and his work. There's a big difference there.

OK! OK! I was wrong. I will be man enough to admit it. I went to check his filmography and to my horror found out that Anderson was responsible for two extremely sucky movies: The second Mortal Kombat and Soldier. :puke: I was hoping to find strong movies that could go in my favor...but I couldn't. Have fun with the thread I'll sit the rest of this one out. :x

If we're talking like in one shot a glass is in your right hand then in your left the next, then I'm not up to the challenge. But, I was looking at it like an inconsistency within the story. Zombies coming from within a casket a la Kill Bill style is an inconsistancy in my book. But, as you'll learn, I attribute all of it to the writer who is also the director. I wasn't out to start a bashing, but those are the reasons we find these inconsistancies. No hard feelings to anyone, I just feel really strongly about certain subjects (film from a behind the camera POV, video games, politics) and say what needs to be said to let someone fully understand where I'm coming from.

Case in point for all this, the movies were okay (I actually enjoy them since I'm a RE fanboy), but SHOULD (not could) have been better. The books are amazing, as were the AVP books that Anderson took most of the story from (at least the good parts). Same for Mortal Kombat, good, but should have been better. You can't take a HUGELY successful franchise and make something only good or mediocre out of it. And Soldier, exactly.

But it may all come down to how much you've seen of the guy. Watch all his interviews and whatnot, hear him talk about his stuff and you'll feel like you're watching Uwe Boll. He says one thing and does the complete opposite every time. That's why I don't like him as a professional, not to mention his work he produces.

I could bash all day (even though it's only bashing when you sound like an idiot with no factual backup or any real argument), but I guess that's not the point of this thread. But, the thread topic sort of went hand and hand with why I said what I did. So, resume topic, all's said and done.

We cool, Capn. I liked the RE books too. The only thing I didn't like is when she had to have the disclaimer in the front because the games deviated from her original stories. And I apologize for accusing you of bashing. You are correct in saying that bashing is when you no factual backup or a real argument. Back to the topic at hand...

Why is that the only licker in RE1 was able to mutate into a stronger and more aggressive hunter, yet the three in RE2 remained the same? Did they not have fresh DNA to use when they killed the civilian with the revolver?

Mazdak
06-21-2005, 06:06 PM
another inaccuracy- there was a corpse in the graveyard that they shoved covered in arthropods (obviously for gross out effects, like fulci's worm-faced zombie). Except the arthropods on the body were MADAGASCAR HISSING ROACHES, Whip scorpions, and other exotic insects that likely aren't going to be found in the midwest, and even less likely in a city environment, and... EVEN LESS LIKELY, feasting on a corpse. Mealworms were also on the corpse. I am not sure where to find them in the wild, but eating corpses is the last place. The odd thing is.. why go out of your way to get exotic insects that aren't particularly disgusting to look at (compared to maggots). Maggots are probably the ugliest form of life on earth aside from humans, hagfish, and centipedes. and they are certianly much easier to come by then a hissing roach or a whip scorpion (especially the latter, which would require some effort to get a hold of).

MADMAN
06-21-2005, 08:46 PM
I have to reiterate. I like the direction that the RE films have taken the genre. And I'm not just some snot nosed 13 year old punk who gets off on explosions. And I also like Soldier. Sure Anderson is less than stellar, but he may also have been the only one willing to take on these films. I don't know enough about the back story on his movies to be sure. (I know Romero wanted to do ResEvil and after careful consideration, I think he might have been the wrong choice, so him not doing it was okay). All in all the films were a decent homage to the games. I'm not saying they couldn't have been better, but, let's face it, the dialogue in the games is pretty bad too. Honestly, I would have liked to have seen a more faithful adaptation of the games in the films, but oh well. One takes what one gets. As for the novels, which are also excellent, that much is true as well.

I believe that the arthropods were meant also to hearken to the game, where there have been lots of mutated little buggers and such. Remember that Jill has to fight a gigantic worm of some sort that has been mutated by the T-Virus in RE3. Hell even the plants get mutated by the damn thing. For the most part, we here at ATZ know a hell of a lot more about the genre and have spent countless hours speculating on these things, the mainstream film audiences, on the other hand, don't usually catch these things.

On a final note, Anderson only wrote Apocalypse, he didn't direct it. I liked AVP. And Uwe Boll is a douche, how does he keep getting work? Alone in de Dark is a creepy, dark, suspense action movie. And I like men. Did you see Christian Zlater in dat tank top, oh sexy, yah.

Captain Boosh
06-22-2005, 03:16 AM
Sorry, one more time. Anderson only got the rights to these movies because he works for smaller budgets and demands less (making a less quality picture in the end). James Cameron (Aliens) wanted to do AVP, but wanted $150 million. Yeah, that sure is a hell of a lot, but I think we learned last time he knows what he's doing in the Alien universe. He would have easily made the money back (and put it in IMAX). On AVP, Anderson was buddy buddy with one of the guys who wrote the first draft the studio was interested in and someone knew him and asked him to do it (re-write and shoot). This movie is basically 10 years in the making with Anderson picking it up in the last year. He's said he's been waiting his whole life to make this movie and that's why he dropped everything he was doing on Apocolypse, but was still there on set a lot as producer.

Good inconsistancies though with the bugs and whatnot. And the licker thing, good catch.

And I'm not just some snot nosed 13 year old punk who gets off on explosions.

You totally get it. Just one of the few types that I hate. I think we see eye to eye on some things here.

Mazdak

Madman- " mutated bugs" is one thing. Giant roaches and flesh eating moths. But i can't see how normal roaches would "morph" into exotic roaches or some pseudoscorpion could transform into a whip scorpion. I know this may sound like nitpicking but it was extremely obvious. I mean it was good for gross out yes but it is like they went out of their way to get these then just sticking to good old maggots and grubs (which are most of the time, extremely easy to find ANYWHERE for FREE).

This all said, i liked both REs. I think the first especially is an excellent zombie film and the second.. i am not sure. i saw it once and i recall being somewhat dissappointed but it was because i like seeing the helpless humans running away from zombies and Alice was able to kick everyone's ass with no problem. The scene with the Stars guys sniping zombies from the roof was pretty cool.

I enjoyed the tyrants from the second RE game and wish they had used them. Those long trenchcoats and the fact that it used its bare hands to break everything made it extremely bad ass.

MADMAN
06-29-2005, 10:17 PM
Boosh,
You're absolutely right that in the past Cameron has shown that he knows what he's doing. But why does he need 150 mil? He made Aliens on something like 16. Sure, sure, there's inflation, but ten times the amout? I don't think so. Plus, Cameron is getting little big for his britches, I think. Besides, that whole thing with the Predator bumrushing the Alien was hardcore, I loved that scene.

Mazdak,
As for the bugs, I think they went exotic to show a mutated look, plus, like you said, it had the gross out effect.

Funny thing though, since when did Jill smoke and how did they get it past the ratings board.

Also, for my fellow pervs out there. In Apocalypse in the early shots of the girl fleeing up the stairs, I don't think she was initially wearing panties. I think they drew those in later. If you look closely at the black in that upskirt shot, it looks fake. I thought it was kind of funny to have a blatant upskirt and then try to cover it up.

Aliens was on roughly $18-19 mil. Yeah, $150 mil is extreme, but it may have been a bit inflated from the original, I'm guessing around $120 mil. Just think, War of the Worlds cost $132 mil. I'm sure Cameron would have gone all out with special effects and putting thousands of Aliens on screen at a time. Not to mention, probably a lot more predators as well.

But, he would try to actually keep men in suits as much as possible since he knows what looks best. The more men in suits and longer shooting times would shoot up the budget. CGI, you shoot for a day and take care of it later. Men in suits means more days on set and more precise action choreography (not to mention real explosions and guns).

MADMAN
07-01-2005, 04:14 AM
I suppose that's true. Too many directors are going for CG today. And everybody want's more money so yeah, the cost of actors in costumes would be insane. Hell, I was reading an article in Game Informer about voice actors for video games wanting back end deals. WTF?!?!?!

Stash Horak
07-01-2005, 04:38 AM
The budget on Aliens was about 18.5. And they used six suits.

But there's a few things folks need to understand about Cameron's epic. First off...it was based on an Alien rip-off script called MOTHER that he wrote intending to make with Roger Corman.

Secondly...you can thank Gale Anne Hurd for both Aliens and The Terminator, plus The Abyss. After they split up is when Cameron started spending 50 million more on each subsequent film just to see if he could get away with it.

Hurd was the one that reigned him in and tightened the scripts. When she was around they made do with models and rear-projection. Then she goes her own way and suddenly Jimmy's blowing up real bridges with real missles and building his own Titanic.

So in all honesty...no, I don't want to see him come back with another film.

I mean say what you will about the final film (I actually love it)...but Paul Anderson did a much better job with AVP and the 35.5 million he had to spend than people give him credit for.

See what I did there? I went by way of spokehand and brought this back to Resident Evil.

And the only crotch I'm looking at in a Resident Evil movie is Milla's. Cause that's all the films are really good for...

Stash Horak

Yes. Milla's hair was darker in the first. And I think her boobs were bigger.

Now that I think about it...I believe Eric Mabius played the character Matt before the rubber suit monster replaced him. And I do agree with the CGI panties theory. But having seen her in Helen of Troy, I can tell you that you're not missing much.

Unlike in Apocalypse where I miss the creepy British chick saying 'You're all going to die down here...'

Hey, Captain! I gotta say that I saw AVP for the first time since the theater the other night. It's a good movie. Not a good translation of the comic, but a good movie. Meaningless action? Meaningless action is Schwarzenegger's Commando. Now that's meaningless. I wish I could think up some more RE inconsistencies.

AVP was exactly the film it should have been. I mean...how great can any movie be where aliens and predators throw down on each other? The comic is vastly overrated plot wise.

At least there was plenty of aliens on predator action. Most people who complain do so because they hate Anderson over the whole Resident Evil debacle, which wasn't his fault as it was CAPCOM who fired Romero.

Which was the right thing to do. I say that having read the Romero script.

And Anderson's worst film is still Soldier.

Why is Commando meaningless action? I personally liked it. Sure, it was 80's popcorn, but there's nothing wrong with that. Furthermore, he's going in to rescue his daughter, what's more noble than that?

I loved both RE movies but AVP freakin' sucked!! It had only one very short actual fight between the two and then all that crap in the end about the predator needing help from a human. BALDERDASH!!! I should think that predator would have been destroyed by his own or done himself in after that kind of dishonor.

It's ironic the his worst film can still be good. Now, I will admit that Soldier is certainly one of Anderson's weaker films, IMO it was still very good. I think that is mostly due to Kurt Russel's performance. I think that Soldier did a good job of portraying the kind of things that would happen to a character like Russel's, and much like Castaway, I think it hinged on something comepletely unorthodox. A character with very few lines. Kudos to Anderson, at least, for taking a chance and experimenting a little.

Stash Horak
07-05-2005, 01:55 AM
Have you ever read the comic? Cause the team-up happens there too. Even worse.

And where do you get ONE Alien versus Predator fight? Cause I saw at least four of them in an eighty minute movie.

As for Commando...I'd blow up half of South America to rescue Alyssa Milano.

This is turned into a total hijack, but oh well, let's make some good discussion.

What is actually good about AVP then? Yeah, there was some action that was nice, but as an overall movie, with CGI, plot, characters, etc. what was good about it?

I'll say one thing, like how much he changed the predators? Wrist blades way too long. Masks are all different. Even the face looks like a shriveled up vagina. This didn't take place in the future, it's not too far after the original with Arnold and then the sequal with Danny Glover. What warrants such huge changes? They look nothing like the predators we all grew up with. Sounds like someone who doesn't know what he doing behind the camera and pen (writing).

And like it was said, Commando was popcorn movie. Nothing more. That's why it is good. "You said you'd kill me last. I lied." You can't beat lines like that. That doesn't fly in today's cinema.

As we all know, according to the Red Queen the human brain still has energy in it after death, sometimes it takes months to die out. The T Virus gives the brain a jolt and as a result: Zombies. In Apocolypse as they are walking through the cemetery they are attacked by zombies rising from the grave. The final zombie shown is one that is almost completly decomposed which would mean that there would not be a brain to receive a jolt from the T-Virus. How were these zombies created? Editing errors, a new virus, or just a play on a classic zombie attack?
it was just a play on a classic zombie attack, or a look back on it. OR! The zombies could've buried themselves there or something, but most likely a lookback at the old look ofzombies, burierd dead crawling out of there graves.

The only thing that was lacking in AVP was Milla Jovovich. Conversely the only good thing about RE: Apocalypse was Milla Jovovich.

Cinemax seems to replaced their required every 12 hour airings of Cabin Fever (Yay!) with Apocalypse...and damned if I still can't watch the thing in its entirety a second time.

I do not have a problem with watching the last ten minutes with the sound off and my head phones on. I have no idea why that is.

Oh wait. Yes I do...

I'm thinking it's because he used the the T-Virus on himself just as he used it on his daughter to cure her disease. So when he died the virus more than likely reanimated him. Just a guess.
