Resident Evil: Afterlife

Continuity mistake: Right after Bennett takes off in the plane, Claire throws a gun to Alice. Between the slow-motion shots, the gun switches position in mid-air before Alice catches it. In the shot of Claire throwing it, the barrel is facing to the right, meaning that it should be facing to the left in the shot of Alice catching it. But it still faces the right when she does. (00:58:30)

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)

THGhost

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)

Henkie36

Other mistake: Pretty much everyone in the film, especially Alice, seems to be able to fire their weapons without reloading at all.

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)

Continuity mistake: When K-Mart throws Alice's shotgun to her right before she shoots Wesker in the mouth, between the slow-motion shots, the gun switches position in mid-air before Alice catches it. K-Mart throws it with the barrel facing towards Alice but when she catches it its barrel is facing away from her. (01:24:15)

Continuity mistake: When they enter the "cargo hold" on the Arcadia and the light turns on, the camera shows the room is empty and completely white. When Alice reaches the other end a few min later there is a blood trail along the floor into another room.

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)

Other mistake: Wesker's chamber on the Arcadia has only one entrance, a big blast door which Alice walks through. Yet Chris and Claire manage to appear behind Wesker without the blast door ever being opened. (01:18:00)

Continuity mistake: When Bennett bends over to pick up Alice's shotgun, you can see that the floor on which it rests is covered in glass. But when K-Mart picks it up moments laters, the glass is gone. (01:20:30)

Henkie36

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Bennett takes off in the plane, the concrete edge suddenly disappears. He hadn't already taken off, because he makes a huge dive directly after leaving the roof, and even if he did use it as a ramp, then it makes no sense why Alice did smash through the edge. (00:58:00)

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)

THGhost

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)

THGhost

Factual error: Alice isn't superhuman in the scene of the Tower Swing. But at the rate she is falling, she would both hit the ground before the cable would be under tension, and even if the prison was high enough, it would probably shatter every bone in her shoulder when it does become tensioned. (01:01:00)

Henkie36

Continuity mistake: During the scene on the rooftop, after shooting some approaching zombies, the group run into the lift while shooting a bunch more zombies. The bomb then explodes, sending the lift down. The scene goes back to Alice fastening herself on a sling. When the camera moves to show the zombies, all of the zombies have moved back some 25 feet away and all of them are standing still, waiting patiently for Alice to make the next move. Alice turns around to run to the edge of the building, and we can see that the zombies who had been shot earlier and should still be lying around have magically disappeared.

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)

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)

Friso94

Resident Evil: Afterlife mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Alice is knocked out by the Axeman, she lands on her back with a few broken tiles on her chest. When we get the far shot with the Axeman, there are suddenly a lot more tiles. (01:05:20)

Henkie36

Revealing mistake: When fighting the Executioner, Alice is thrown into a wall by its axe and drops one of her shotguns. Upon impact you can see the entire wall wobble. (01:02:30)

THGhost

Deliberate mistake: When Alice jumps from the rooftop, the entire roof explodes, but the wire she is on is still intact. (01:00:50)

Alice: Day 6,1800 hours, Los Angeles. No signs of life, not even the undead. They must have burned with the city. But what about the rest?

Question: Why did the crew of the Arcadia abandon ship?

Answer: Wesker needed to consume fresh DNA to help control the T-virus. He was eating people who had been captured. This scared the crew enough to abandon ship.
