Resident Evil: Retribution

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)

Friso94

Continuity mistake: Outside of the corridor of light sequence, nobody ever seems to run out of ammo, or bother to reload, most notably Ada and Alice.

Friso94

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Ada Wong walks into the Umbrella control room and kills all the agents, she stands in the middle of the room. She uses a gun to kill all the agents, who are sitting behind glass computers. In that scene, and in later shots, we can see that the glass is intact and has no bullet holes in it.

Continuity mistake: When Alice is being chased in the corridor of the Tokyo simulation, the woman in the blue dress is a good distance away from her. However in the following shots she is much closer. (00:21:15)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: Ada Wong seems to never run out of ammo. She never reloads and she doesn't carry any magazines with her. Alice's Kriss Vectors should only hold 13-33 rounds but she fires more than the rounds. She doesn't hold any mags.

Continuity mistake: During the fight in the corridor of light, Alice shots everybody and there are a lot of blood splattering, but the corridor continues to be clean until the very end, and the stains of blood that are there are not compatible with the splatters. (00:21:50)

Continuity mistake: When housewife Alice is trying to escape with her daughter in the laundry room, she slams a mop through the ceiling. When she slams the mophead through the ceiling the last time and pulls it out, the hole left behind is maybe one foot across. When she lifts her daughter up into the hole it is now a good two or three feet across and reaches from ceiling support beam to support beam. (00:09:20)

Continuity mistake: One of the zombies fires an RPG into a yellow van. The van then moves forward and bumps into another car in front of it. When Alice jumps through the van, they have moved apart again. (00:50:45)

Friso94

Continuity mistake: Alice ejects the magazine during the corridor sequence and it drops pretty much straight down to the floor. When the camera changes to her kicking the magazine away, its falling down and out. (00:22:15)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When the Tokyo sequence is started, Gill's hair is untucked from her ear. When the rain starts however her hair is tucked behind her ear. (00:19:00)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When housewife Alice is hiding in the closet, the Majini has his tentacles in the slats of the door. When Alice bursts out he is much further away. (00:14:00)

Continuity mistake: When the car comes to a stop after killing the licker, the front wheels are straight and flush with the body of the car. When the camera changes the wheels are turned over to the left and sticking out. (00:52:20)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: In the opening sequence, while Valentine and her goons shoot the people on the boat, only the exit hole of the bullets is visible, but no entry hole on the white shirts. (00:03:00)

Continuity mistake: When the Rolls Royce jumps through the yellow van, the Spirit of Ecstacy (the emblem of Rolls Royce) breaks off, but at the end of the chase, it's still in place. (00:52:55 - 00:55:50)

Friso94

Continuity mistake: In the 3D map scene both of the teams are heading to the central suburbia section to rendezvous; however when it shows their movements on the map both teams are walking away from this area, back the way they just came from. (00:37:15)

Continuity mistake: At one point during the chase, a zombie pulls up and shoots the driver side window, during an inside shot. The shot then briefly cuts back outside, and look closely: the driver side window is still there.

Friso94

Continuity mistake: In the corridor fight scene, the camera shows Alice shoot a zombie in the head, and very shows a bullet entry and exit point. In the next show however, the wound has disappeared. (00:23:15)

Factual error: Semi-automatic guns don't just click empty, like they do in a lot of movies. The slide would lock back until you manually cock the gun. Yet in the corridor of light scene, this is exactly what happens: Alice's gun just clicks when it's empty.

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.
