Resident Evil: Afterlife mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Wesker arrives at the command post to get a report. Note where he is stood however as his position in relation to the black lines on the floor is constantly changing. (00:06:20)

Audio problem: Near the beginning of the film when Alice and her clones break into the Umbrella building, she comes down in an elevator. The numbers above the elevator showing what floor she is on beep every time they change, but some of the beeps are out of sync. A beep is heard for floor 6 before the number 7 has even changed and a beep is also heard a fraction of a second before the number 3 fully appears. (00:07:05)

Revealing mistake: When the Umbrella guards are lining up in front of the elevator, we get a few close-up shot of the level counter. During those close-ups, you can see the ribbed rear wall of the elevator when the dial is still only at level 3. Compare the wall to when the doors open, it is exactly the same. This means that the elevator isn't moving at all, and that it is just the dial. (00:07:05)

Continuity mistake: Before the opening fight scene, we can see the guards running towards the entrance past a row of Hummer H2's. But after Alice blows the second group away and takes out those cars, they all of a sudden change to H1's. Also it can't be one from the opposite end, because those have a pick-up truck rear end, and the one lying on its side has a slanted back end. (00:07:15)

Continuity mistake: Right before the Needle Dive, the two Alice clones can be seen wearing high heels when they are standing still shooting the Umbrella soldiers and flats when they run towards the window and jump through it. (00:07:45)

Continuity mistake: During the first fight, the boots of Alice change from high heels to no heels and back to high heels several times. (00:08:10)

Continuity mistake: Wesker shoots the supervisor in the head for questioning an order, The guard falls to floor and his position changes several times depending on the shot. Note his head and pool of blood in relation to the lines on the floor. (00:10:30)

Continuity mistake: During the initial fight scene, one of the Alice clones takes cover behind a pillar, which is fully intact. When the shot cuts to show her and the other clone, there are three bullet holes that have mysteriously appeared in the pillar. (00:11:10)

Continuity mistake: During the initial fight scene, the clone who survives the Needle Dive is later on shot by Wesker, upon which she drops two grenades. Where did she pull those grenades from? Right before she jumps out of the window, you can see that there are no grenades dangling from a belt, and there isn't much room to hide something like that in a skintight catsuit. (00:12:00)

Continuity mistake: After the Needle dive, Alice lands on a table. When she is shot by Wesker, the table is covered in blood. In the overhead shot afterwards, the amount of blood changes drastically. (00:12:05)

Henkie36

Other mistake: When we see a shot of the plane flying away from under the camera through the mountains, the 2:40 crop (letterbox) is drastically warped in the upper right half of the image. Spotted on the Australian Blu-Ray release. The DVD copy does not have this error. (00:19:20)

Continuity mistake: When Luther ducks to avoid getting hit by Alice's plane, his gun falls out of his pants. He then picks it up again just before he runs off to clear the roof. But in the shot where Angel runs away, his gun is still lying in the middle of the "E." (00:30:20)

Continuity mistake: Alice does her pass of the prison and Kim-Yong can be seen hitting the deck away from the white lines of the help us sign. However in the wide shot he is on a white line. (00:30:50)

Ssiscool

Factual error: In the scene where Alice lands the plane on the roof of the prison the length of the roof is far too short to have landed in that distance at the speed they were traveling. The wings also impact several solid objects during the landing which would have damaged them, if not severed them completely. At the end of the landing the nose smashes through a solid concrete ledge at the end of the run. The propeller is too fragile and should have shattered in an impact that forceful but instead remains completely unscratched. (00:31:00)

alimination602

Revealing mistake: When ripping the cables up on the roof to make an improvised brake for the plane, he tugs the cables so hard they actually hit the camera resulting in it wobbling before cutting away. (00:31:00)

Continuity mistake: When Alice makes the first approach to land on the roof of the prison, Luther shouts "Down!", and they all duck. In the close up shot of the group, you can see that Angel and Bennett are facing the same way as Luther and Kim. But in the wide shot, they are facing in the opposite direction. (00:31:30)

Henkie36

Revealing mistake: When Alice and Claire land on top of the prison in the plane, Angel pulls a cable across the roof to help the plane slow down. As he pulls it tight the angle at which the camera is at wobbles due to the cable knocking it. (00:31:50)

Continuity mistake: Right after Alice lands on top of the prison, she makes three skid-marks on the roof: one with each wheel. These are seen best in the shots which show the front of the plane. But in the overhead shots, the skid-marks are gone. This can be best seen in the shot where Luther grabs hold of the tail wing. (00:32:50)

Albert Wesker: I'm what you used to be... Only better.

Question: I've seen the movie several times now but I still don't know the answer to this: in the beginning of the movie, who kills the two Japanese snipers - zombies or some clones of Alice?

Answer: Based on the sounds to go with the scene, I'd say it is zombies taking the guards out. However, considering following events it is more likely that Alice and her friends have something to do with it.
