Resident Evil: Retribution

Revealing mistake: When Alice shoots the zombie in the blue dress, we get a frontal shot of the gun. Pay close attention to her trigger finger: it doesn't move at all, while the gun does fire.

Revealing mistake: When Ada Wong kills three officers in the Umbrella Central Control Room, you can see she shot them from the front. They are sitting behind glass panels. Later, we can see the blood splatter sitting on their side of the glass, indicating that they were shot from behind. The glass is also intact, despite a bullet supposedly passing through it. (00:27:30)

Revealing mistake: Alice throws a new magazine for her gun up, and it stays in the air for a good ten seconds (adjusted for slow-mo). For something to stay up in the air, you would need to throw it a good hundred feet, and the hallway simply isn't that high. (00:22:40)

Revealing mistake: At the start during the rewinding segment we see a net return to an Umbrella soldier's gun, and a guy get up on the screen left with a bullet wound in the back. (This whole part is in reverse at this point of the film) The guy that gets up you can see the outline of the squib pack that was used for the effect. (00:03:18)

Revealing mistake: When we see the Kremlin in the Rolls Royce chase, there is an overhead shot of the car skidding with tyre marks in front of the car from previous takes. (00:51:10)

Revealing mistake: When we see the Axeman slice the roof off the police car, the lights on top spark and break before the axe reaches them. (00:36:20)

Continuity mistake: When Alice knocks over the giant Licker in the Rolls-Royce, the driver's side of the car remains completely undamaged. Unlikely, but for the rest of the chase there are four giant scratches across the rear of the car. (00:51:10 - 00:52:05)

Question: Why in Resident Evil 4 when Alice takes the robotic bug off of Claire's chest it takes her days to remember who she is but when Jill has the same thing done to her she knows who Alice is in under 5 minutes.

Chosen answer: Jill was unconscious at the time, while Claire was awake, therefore the loss of memory may differ by state of mind, or vary from person to person.
