Corrected entry: When Nemesis kills the STARS members in the theater, why doesn't the roof cave in when Nemesis blows it up? With the large frame holding up the theater sign, it would be almost impossible for the roof not to fall in.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Corrected entry: When the Nemesis first acquires the S.T.A.R.S soldiers in their base camp, he is able to instantaneously count them in a single glance. The problem is that some of them weren't directly in his line of sight. Even if he had equipment to scan through walls, he then should have been able to acquire the rooftop sniper.
Correction: He has equipment to scan through walls, possibly infrared. He doesn't see the sniper because he's looking forward and level when he does the target scan, not up. If he had done the target scan from farther back the sniper would have been in his field of vision and he would have seen it, but the scan occurs at a single time and not continuously.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Corrected entry: Towards the beginning, a massive crowd of zombies chase a blonde girl up the stairway of a building and all of them end up on the roof. She is saved by the cops in the helicopter, who shoot many of the zombies. But, when the scene is over, there are only about 20 dead zombies on the roof. Where did the rest of them go? They didn't retreat back down the stairs nor did they jump off the building.
Correction: I paused the movie at every point showing the zombies and never counted more than 12 chasing her. That's more than enough people to choke a stairwell.

Corrected entry: Pay attention to the actions of the cowboy sniper on the roof. He shoots a zombie, reloads, shoots the zombie again and reloads. Before he saves LJ he reloads again. Why did he reload when he had a round ready to be fired?
Correction: The sniper shoots, reloads, and shoots again for the kill. Then he empties the chamber (we hear the shell being ejected) and takes a swig of beer, but doesn't reload (no targets). Therefore the chamber is empty when he reloads to save LJ.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Corrected entry: 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?
Correction: 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.

Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: 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.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Corrected entry: 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.
Correction: 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.

Correction: The rocket doesn't blow up the roof, it blows up the sign. The explosive force escapes upward rather than exerting itself downward - path of least resistance.
