Quotes:

  • [Rain and J.D. have just fought off a zombie]
    J.D.: I shot her five times! How was she still standing?
    Rain: Bitch isn't standin' now.
     
  • Rain: Don't keep me around without a soul
     
  • [Matt and Kaplan are helping Rain]
    Rain: When I get outta here...I'm gonna get laid.
    Kaplan: You might wanna take a wash first.
     
  • Rain: She bit me man, she took a chunk clean right outta me!"
     
  • [Alice points a gun at Rain unsure if she's a zombie.]
    Rain: [grabs the gun] I'm not dead yet.
    Alice: [relieved] I could just kiss you, you bitch!
     

Trivia:

  • Like in the games, after something is switched on/off, something else happens elsewhere. When the Red Queen is deactivated for the first time, all doors elsewhere are opened. -The wedding picture of Alice and Spencer looks similar to the pictures from the first two games (with the subjects up close and spliced onto the background image, and always in black and white).
     
  • References to the each of the Resident Evil Games: Resident Evil Survivor: Some one loses their memory and at the end it returns to them. Resident Evil Code Veronica: Matt runs into his sister that is now a zombie and has to watch her "die". This is similar to Steve Burnside having to watch his zombie father die, but by his own hands.
     
  • The sequence with the soldiers trapped in the hallway being killed by the moving lasers was inspired by a similar sequence in the Canadian film Cube.
     
  • This film was originally titled "Resident Evil:Ground Zero," but the title was changed to just "Resident Evil" after the September 11 attacks.
     
  • The plot has several similarities with the movie Ghosts of Mars: the main characters are strong, fighting women; the good guys are in an isolated environment surrounded by zombies; they make their escape on a train chased by the monsters; both movies end with the zombies breaking loose, with the female lead starting to fight them back.
     

Credits Fun:

  • Near the end of the credits, we hear a line of dialogue from Michelle Rodriguez: "When we get out of here, I think I'm gonna get laid."
