A clue perhaps to the 3rd Resident Evil movie plus a game reference. The Ashford family is mentioned and seen in Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Dr. Ashford created a different strand of the T-Virus for his daughter and titled it the Veronica Project. Even at the end of the movie, the way Alice is suspended in the green nutrient water mimics alot of how you meet Alixia Ashford (the Veronica Project) in Code Veronica. She even shares Alixia's psychic powers. [In the game Code Veronica, Dr. Ashford did not create a virus for his daughter, Alexia. Alexia was the one who created the virus, then tested it on herself. She also created a virus which she tested on her father, which turned him into a monster.]

Near the end of the film the wheelchair-bound scientist is shot and killed. He then comes back as a zombie and moves around by dragging himself by his arms. He created the T virus for his daughter to heal her legs so she would be able to walk, so surely as an infected zombie he would have been able to walk as well? Also I'm pretty sure he got shot in the head when he died (I may be wrong), so then how did he became a zombie, since the way to kill a zombie is apparently to destroy the brain, eg. by shooting them in the head? [Just like any other medical treatment, if the T-virus is not properly administered it won't have any beneficial effects, certainly not over the course of only a few minutes. Also, he wasn't shot in the head but in the torso.]

Towards the end of the film when it shows you the news, it states the videotape footage shot was a hoax. Surely the residents of Raccoon City who got through the gates before they were closed at the beginning of the outbreak would say otherwise. [Whatever they say will be suppressed and may become part of an underground conspiracy media that is never taken seriously. Umbrella can marshall the testimony of most of its employees, plus anyone it wants to bribe (including politicians and law enforcement) and will have a great deal more credibility than people claiming that the dead rose and walked among us.]

Angela has to keep taking the anti virus so she won't mutate, but at the end she's been without her father or the Umbrella Corporation for three weeks. Wouldn't she be highly contagious? Even if she hadn't used all of her anti virus yet, where exactly did the group think they were going to get more? Before long Angela will be a flesh eating zombie. [As we saw in the first Resident Evil movie, a small injection of antivirus is enough. We also saw that Angela had a little case with at least 2 containers filled with antivirus that would last her a long time - at least 3 weeks. Everything happening after that has to deal with the third movie.]

In the end, when Valentine and Olivera show up to pick up Alice, none of the Umbrella guards recognize them. Earlier we see their faces plastered on TV. There should have been someone among all those guards to recognize them. [They were recognized by the guards at the checkpoint on their way in. The guards there called for orders and were instructed to allow Valentine and Olivera to enter unhindered. The upper management of Umbrella knew about them and wanted to let them come closer, either to capture them or send Alice out with them for a field test. The guards at the building have the same instructions, though they don't know why.]

In both movies after watching the dead get up and shamble around people always call them "those...things." Hardly anyone uses the term "zombie," though just about most people alive has seen a zombie film in their lives. [A discussion in "Shaun of the Dead" explains this perfectly. Shaun's friend asks "any zombies out there?", and Shaun says "don't use the Z word - it's ridiculous!" Despite the evidence of their own eyes, people are loathe to admit that something previously only used in fiction might exist in reality.]

After the Nemesis creature kills the 12 STARS agents, the one wearing the white t-shirt (laying to the right of LJ) is riddled with bullet holes but still breathing in two camera shots. [Perhaps he is not quite dead yet. Depending on what the bullets hit he could still be alive (just not for very long).]

At the beginning, the city is being evacuated. We see a helicopter flying around the city. The lights in the buildings are on - why would they be, given that everyone in the city is on the bridge being evacuated? (It's not because they're automatic, because in several of the buildings some are on and some are off.). [Some automatic lights have motion sensors to turn them off if no one is there, but many don't (or are disabled) even in the same building. I used to work in a building where the motion sensors would start to work only after a certain time at night which would be adjusted according to the work habits of each department, i.e. some could start turning off at 5pm, some 8pm, some 24/7, etc.]

In first film, after a Licker attacked someone and absorbed their DNA, it mutated. But in this film after the man in the church is killed by the Licker, it doesn't. [It's a non-evolving breed of Licker; there are also 2 types in Resident Evil 2. Umbrella knew that there would be too much human DNA for the Lickers to feed on and they would quickly become totally uncontrollable, so they used a second, weaker variety.]

After Carlos is infected, he and Nicholai find an empty-looking building to hide in. As they enter, there's a ton of blue mist in the background where a woman is casually walking. [She's a zombie.]

In the school building, Nikolai is mauled by the police dogs that were affected by the T-virus. We see him lying dead on the ground several minutes after the attack and he still hasn't become a zombie. However, when someone dies they almost instantly come back. [Nikolai was killed far to quickly for the virus to infect him. Only people who are infected for some time and then die turn into zombies.]

If the T-Virus is a virus spread through person to person by bite, and then it becomes an airborne virus, how do the people underground in a graveyard get infected to become zombies? [Umbrella obviously wants no survivors. With the technology that Umbrella has it's not too far fetched to assume that the whole graveyard was simply a trap. There are cameras all over Racoon city and they were closely monitoring Alice. They could've just "released" these zombies somehow to either kill survivors or test Alice.]

At the end, why does the scientist in the wheelchair that was only shot turn into a zombie and try to eat the man who shot him after he was thrown from the helicopter? [He was infected with the T-Virus from an injection he had, but did not receive the antidote for (He wasn't bitten). Remember the marks on Alice and the scientist's daughter's arms? He had the same injections.]

The "freelance" fighter Nicholai's name is being mispronounced throughout the movie. The right way to say it is nicholAi, not nIcholai. Judging by his accent, he is from Russia, yet he mispronounces his own name when he introduces himself to Alice. [However a character pronouces their own name should be considered correct if it is consistent throughout the film.]

Before the group enters the school, the camera shows a police K9 unit vehicle with its back doors open to expose several cages that dogs had broken out of. Later, inside the school, the group is attacked by the zombie dobermans. Now, it would be understandable if these where the experimental dogs from the first movie, but they were police dogs. Police dogs are almost always German shepherds. The only exception might be a golden retriever, which are usually used for detecting narcotics. [These aren't really police dogs. They are dogs used by the Raccoon City police department, who is owned by the Umbrella Corporation. This heartless corporation would not have the slightest qualms about using a far more deadly, but less efficient dog.]
