Corrected entry: Because this movie was shot in 3D, all of the kicks and punches are real. For instance, the scene in which Alice kicks Bennett's gun away had to be done over and over again. So much so that his hand was black and blue when the final take was made. Ali Larter even broke a finger during the shooting of the film.

Corrected entry: Bennett holds Alice at gunpoint when she confronts Wesker, well out of range. But after she kicks the knives towards Wesker, he moves a lot closer since she is able to kick the gun out of his hand immediately.
Correction: This was moat likely done deliberately for the sake of 3D, plus Bennett could have suddenly moved closer to Alice as she kicks the knives towards Wesker because it startles him. He's working for Wesker and someone has suddenly launched some knives at him, it's obviously going to make him a bit nervous.

Corrected entry: When the group plummets down into the elevator, they are stopped by the water, and everybody gets soaking wet. But when they stand in the shower, all of them are completely dry.
Correction: The group were not completely submerged in the water; it was only waist-high. These two scenes also take place before and after the Tower Swing scene, giving them time to squeeze the water out of their clothes and hair.

Corrected entry: In the scene just after Bennett had left the group, they are standing on the edge of the roof. When the infected start coming onto the roof via the stairwell, Alice starts firing at them. Note the sparks on the barrels. Alice has been proven to be an very capable marksman in previous movies, so these sparks are just for effects, rather then something that makes actual sense. (01:01:20)
Correction: Even master marksmen miss on occasion. I've been at target shooting competitions where the winner missed the target completely on a couple of shots.

Corrected entry: During the aerial shots of L.A., we can see how the building are badly damaged because of fires raging inside of them. But when a building rests on a concrete elevator shaft, the concrete would turn into sand because of the heat, and if it was a steel structure, that would lose all of its strength and collapse anyway.
Correction: Buildings don't always collapse in a fire no matter the structure. See Madrid skyscraper fire pictures which show a skyscraper burned out, but still standing. (If you can get past all the conspiracy theories.).

Corrected entry: During the opening fight scene, Alice tosses her katana in to the head of one of the security guards. It sticks out of the head very. However, the tip of the sword isn't visible at the back of his head, while it's very clear that the sword is long enough to come out the back. This means that they just taped half a sword to his helmet.

Correction: The punches and kicks are not "real". As Ali herself said in an interview, "...learning how to do the stunts, because you can't cheat anymore. You have to come within an inch of someone." Note within an inch, not hitting the other person. Ali sprained her finger, not broke it. If anyone's getting hit for real in the stunts, it's because they misjudged the distance to come close to hitting the other person. Paul Anderson also confirmed that the stunt people have to come closer to hitting the other person than with conventional 2D movies, but any hitting of the other person was accidental.
