The Weekly Planet - Resident Evil - Caravan Of Garbage

Episode Date: August 13, 2026

On the eve of a brand new Resident Evil movie from director Zack Cregger we aim to achieve something heroes only dream of, taking a look at all six movies from the original series. Beginning with Resident Evil from 2002 it introduces us to a world seperate from that of the video games lead by Alice (Milla Jovovich) and directed by Paul WS Anderson whom would return for later entries in the franchise. And boy is it a sight! Laser hallways, kicking zombie dogs in the head, red AI girls I guess. Alright. Let's get started.

Welcome back everybody to another episode of Caravana Garbage, where we're the only YouTube series to be brave enough. Oh yes. Let me finish. Okay. To talk about... I'm letting you finish. Take your time.

Take a breath if you need it. Collect your thoughts. That's enough. That's... People hate that. I'll have an audible drink. Can I have another breath while you're doing that? Yeah, we have time.

I can carry on. To look at all six resident evil movies over a period of six weeks, this is the most movies we've ever done in a row. we get through them? If we get through them. Bold talk to say we will definitely not get enraged or bored or disgusted. Also, bearing in mind, this is only the six Paul W.S. Anderson, Miller Jovovich, Resident Evil movies. Directed or produced or starring. Because he didn't direct all of them, right? No, he didn't. That's right. And we'll talk about that as the weeks progress and we descend further into madness, much like a Resident Evil movie. Oh, is that what happens in these movies? I don't think

anyone descendant into madness. I think some people like, whoa, what's going on? I get it. That was most of this movie. Yeah. I'm scared. I can do a big kick though. So I'm not scared anymore. I'm not scared anymore because I've got big kick action. Yeah. Now we've discussed these movies endlessly in our real lives. Yes, we have real lives. I don't know if people are aware of this. It's true. Please leave a light by the way. Yeah, we've seen all of these. We've seen all of these. I'm sure we saw them all either at the movies or on DVD. And here's the central thesis, which I had forgotten about until I rewatched this one. I was about midway through this, and I remembered what we had always said about these movies,

which are, they are mostly terrible. They're terrible, but sorry, Resident Evil fans, who are like these are the only two Resident Evil movies and how dear Zach Craig has tried to make a movie with the Resident Evil IP. He doesn't know what he's doing. These movies are terrible, but, and maybe in subsequent ways, I'll be like, oh, there's stuff to love about these. Well, that's the point, isn't it? Yeah, but these movies are terrible,

but each one of them has a couple of things that are cool, and then when they announce the next movie is coming up, you go, hey, remember the last one where there was that cool stuff in it? This will be worthwhile renting the DVD or buying tickets to see this movie. And then you go, oh, no, it's bad again. I should have just watched the laser hallway bit in the bit where she... Yeah, runs up a cupboard and kicks a dog in the head. Right?

I should have watched those clips on YouTube. Instead I watched the whole movie I mean you can do that here Those clips will be in this video Little Secret Currently the entire movie is on YouTube It's been up for like four years And no one said anything

Is it really? Yes That's how I watched it Oh no I paid money Yeah So just quickly I want to mention That George A Romero

Who of course directed Night of Living Dead Was originally attached to write and direct this Did he? No Interesting He did direct a resident evil live action commercial Oh yeah

Now we've talked about this Because if you subscribe To any of our bonus stuff YouTube membership Patreon Big Sandwich We went through the second Resident Evil game Which the new movie is very loosely based around

Right And we talk about it in depth there And basically why he didn't get onto this But his version Adhid closer to the games But Capcom were worried that Well then people would only watch the movies And not play the games

So this is too close What a funny understanding About any media works Well it was 1999 And also what I don't What an incredible supposition of these game creators to be like, once a movie is out, no one will play a game. Yeah, no one will play the better version of this.

Right. And it was also, yeah, it was really expensive. There were a few versions that kind of sort of nearly got off the ground in between, but then it came to Paul W.S. Anderson. Paul the Wiz Anderson, they call him. That's what they call him. Because he's a whiz at directing or producing Resident Evil movies. And he directed the first model combat movie.

That's right. And he directed the movie Soldier. and he directed Alien versus Predator Are you saying he's directed a movie in the Blade Runner universe? I am saying that. Wow! Also, I'm a death race fan. Of his version.

Yep, sure, the one with Jason Statham. The one with Jason Stathom. But he wrote a script called Undead, which was then purchased and then repurposed into this... What, purchased by him? No, no, purchased by Resident Evil and the production company behind this and etc. And he said, I'm not...

You can't have it unless I'm the director as well. And they went, I guess. Yeah. As long as you don't make people... people only want to watch a movie and not play video game. And he went, I won't. I'll do an unconvincing job. Also, it's worth pointing out that he directed Event Horizon.

Oh, yeah. That's a good movie. I agree. So I understand the logic behind all of this and even keeping him on for four of the six movies that he directed. But I would say by comparison to Event Horizon, this movie is quaint. It's quaint. It looks worse. It looks like, James, if I may. It's from 2002, and the budget is, you know, relatively low

compared to a lot of, you know, big blockbusters we have watched recently. This movie looks like off cuts from a Savage Garden music video. No shade to Australian pop icon Savage Garden. I would never. Who we all love. I would never. But Savage Garden, Darren Hayes and Haran Days, they didn't have $30 million to make truly madly deeply or whatever.

They should have. They should have. I think they'd give them $30 million. Do it now. Give it to them. But it's just. It's got a weird washed out look to it. Metallic.

Metallic, yeah. Cheap filing cabinet. There's some real low-budget action movie kind of classic moves in this. Someone gets beheaded by an elevator shaft, but they cut away because they don't want to have to build a prosthetic head to get chopped off. There's a bit where they just set a guy on fire and have him run around a bit. Do what you can.

We'll set you on fire. Just run around, do something. Well, the fun thing about that is because this was filmed in Germany, a lot of the laws and restrictions around lighting someone on fire. Don't do it. No, you can do it more. Oh, you can do it more. So in the US, you'd have to do it like two or three times and reset and get paid more or whatever.

But in Germany, they lit this guy on fire like 30 times. They did. Yeah. And it's all there on the screen. Ah, running around. So, look, the story of this, the umbrella corporation, which public faces, computer technology, medical products, health care and laser hallways. And bullets? Oh, yeah, and they'd make bullets, I guess.

But in reality, they're doing military technology, genetic experimentation, viral weaponry, and laser hallways. And bullets. And I can't stress this enough, because at one point you see Milo Jovovich Fire a gun, and the bullet casings have umbrella corporation on it. So from the public's perspective, they make healthcare products and bullets. And nobody finds that weird? Well, not many people were on the internet. They might have been in the something awful forums.

That's right. But that wasn't for everyone. Hey, I'm seeing some links over here, they'd be saying. In the GBS forum. So yeah, there's an outbreak in an underground resident evil facility. Yep. How did they make that? I don't know.

How does Batman? get all these shit in the back cave or whatever. Undocumented workers. Undocumented workers, that's right. Because someone, a mysterious man, all in black with a backpack, he sneaks in there and he steals the T-virus and then he unleashes it in the lab,

and they're all gassed to death by the AI in the bloody, in the bloody, in the bloody bunker. Typical, typical behaviour of the AI, isn't it? But are they gassed to death by the AI? No, they're turned into it. They're turned to go, whatever. The AI contains it. It's James Purefoy, by the way.

Who, you know, modern audiences will know as the blue guy in Pennyworth, The Origin of Batman's Barlow. Oh my God, he's the blue guy. He's the blue tank guy. Here's some footage of the Blue Tank guy. He was V for some of it, then replaced by Hugo Weaving. He was absolutely replaced, which is weird because Pennyworth, the origin of Batman's Butler, is set in the V for Vendetta universe.

Here, that's right. Here's some footage of that. You figure this out. Make sense of this. Explain this. I don't know. Not you. Comments.

Okay, I'm not going to explain it. Yeah, interesting cast. Miller Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Colin Salmon, and three to four completely interchangeable white men. Who's who, who dies? I don't know. Doesn't matter. Not important.

Don't purify some other guys. Well, yeah, Milojovich, of course, hot off the back of Fifth Element. That's right. Good movie. I do feel like her being married to Paul W.S. Anderson. Is better than being married to Luke Besson? I think so, too. Completely agree.

Hard agree there. But I think the movies that she is, I think she's more talented than the thing she is often in. Dada Varsman is what you're saying. You're saying, you're saying, you're saying, You're saying two duds of husbands, at least. At least. Yeah. No, no, I don't think Paul W.S. Anderson is a dud.

He directed a Van Horizon I'm learning. Exactly. That's a movie that the thing is. Anyway, she wakes up and she doesn't have a memory. That's right. She doesn't even realize that she's in six of these movies, plus she's a clone and sometimes she's 50 clones, and sometimes she's actually an old lady.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, Mason. You can't even stop me, though. I'm the mask. Somebody come and stop me. Damn, somebody's smoking a doobie, and it's you, brother. So the mystery unravels. of like, who is she? What happened? Is this Resident Evil? Have they repurposed a script? Yes, to all of those questions. Alice, she's a new character for these movies. Yeah. So Michelle Rodriguez was given more to do in this because when she came on board, people are like, oh, she's great. Let's give her more of Milojovich's action sequences or whatever. And she does return for a future movie, which we'll talk about. But yeah, famously, the character of Alice was invented for the Resident Evil movies and does not exist in any form in the game whatsoever.

subsequently added her to other games. No, it will... Is she in Tekken or anything? She's probably in Tekken or Masters of Terra Kasai, I assume. Absolutely she would be. Retroactively. That's right. But yes...

Take this Han Solo. Big spinning kick. Big floaty jump. Flooty jump. Yeah. I'm kicking you in the face, Han Solo. I know. Dialogue from the game.

Dialogue from the game, yeah. But there is stuff in this that does carry over to the game. So the red dress, that appeared in, I think, Resident Evil, too. But the icon. one that you know. Ada Wong's dress? Ada Wong's dress. That's from this.

Right. Plus things like the... What else is there? Dogs? I guess they already had dogs. No, dogs is from Resident Evil 1. Dogs through a window. Dogs.

That's right. The laser hallway, which is in a bunch of Resident Evil shit, is from this. Now, I'm not an AI, as far as anyone knows. But I reckon if I was trying to kill somebody with a laser hallway, like a bunch of people, I'd probably do the, like, the full hallway grid first. I wouldn't do just single lasers to get people a chance to jump over,

from a ducker or whatever. Just do the full grid. That's your problem, Mason. You're going to have fun with it. How many times you get to bust out the laser hallways and AI? That is fun for me, James. That would be fun for me to give them no chance to live. That will be fun for me.

Okay, I love the laser hallway sequence. Like, legitimately, I think it's incredible. The only other thing I love nearly as much as when we see a 3D map and it sort of nearly transitions sometimes and I think it does once into the real environment. Hell yeah. I'm like, oh my God. That was seamless, you'd say.

There's so many computer graphics in this. I find this seamless in 2002 years. But watching Colin Salman, Salman's, get cubed like a salman, they actually built a version of him which crumbles apart. But you don't really see it. It's such a shame.

And also, you know, the big that somewhere, you think that's in somebody's pervert museum of pervert Hollywood props that they do purve stuff to? I bet it is. Of course it is. Oh, good evening, chopped up bit of Colin Salman. Yeah, it's some German guy's got it.

You know he does, but sir. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. The actual decapitation in this movie, we see here, that's a practical model head that they lined up with the actor and then have it like slide off. So you're going to match the camera moving exactly to make that happen. I think that's, it looks pretty good all in all. I think that whole sequence, I think is like a plus. And if that was the entire movie, if the movie was just people dodging a laser hallway, oh wait,

that's just the TV show, hole in the wall, isn't it? We talk about hole in the wall quite a lot. Yeah, for a show I've never seen. So yeah, under the house that Milo Jovovich and James Puey and another guy wake up in. That's right. Oh, where's my memories are there? Where are they? What happened to my memories? You can have to go underground and look for your memories down there. Look for your memories underground.

I hope there are answers to my memories underground. There are kind of. Kind of. So there's a train under the house. The mansion, I guess, is a nod to Resident Evil One. There should have been a bit where she's like, all I remember is, I wake up in this house every day and I hear chew, chew, chew. All aboard.

Tickets, please. Tickets please to the Underground Resident Evil Lair. Umbrella tickets, please. Tootoot, off we go. And that's all I remember. That's all I remember of my memories. I guess it's a very quiet train. I guess it is.

But speaking of that facility, maybe it's made clear in this. Do the people who work in that, do they know they're underground? I don't know. Because a guy shows up right at the start and he's got his coffee cup and he's like, oh, I spilled my coffee cup. Yeah. Do they think they're going up in an elevator but they're going down in an elevator? Surely not. Because they have to live, are they mole people?

Maybe they live underground and this is up to the. them. I don't think so. I didn't see any beds. No, I think they, maybe they commute. Maybe they get on like a, like a Hogwarts platform nine and three quarters in New York City baby. And Toot Toot all aboard. Unbrilet tickets, please. Isn't it, Raccoon City? Yeah, Raccoon City or whatever. Tootoot Baby. Toot Baby. And then they get, they get subwayed to this place and they don't know that it's under a big mansion or whatever. I mean, maybe it is explained. But like, you know, the- I reckon, I'd be willing to bet it is not explained. Because I know, I don't remember when, but I know in future movies, they make like a fake time square or that big Japanese walkthrough or whatever.

James, the logistics of this, none of these make any sense. Well, you're asking the wrong questions. You're right. Which is to say you're asking any questions at all. I wish I had a red floating hologram that I could ask my questions to. And it could be like, you're going to die. I'll be like, that's rude actually, red grok, which is what I'm going to call you. But it is inevitable, so she's not wrong.

So the first zombie attack, it's a little, I should say a lot, red dwarf in terms of like just the set and the execution and whatever, you know, stumbling and there's just like loose pipes and whatever and boxes. You're saying it's got the equivalent of like a like a BBC sci-fi show in the, in the late 80s. That's what I'm saying, yes. Which is to say a budget of $8. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Sorry, eight quid. Eight quid, thank you. You know, it doesn't, the zombie stuff is, it's pretty, pretty weak. The makeup, just white pancake makeup. Sometimes it's like a CGI face that they've clearly like just, you know, added some holes into a person. I guess it's, it's fine. But the T virus is how it works. So it reanimates the body.

Okay, sounds good already. Based, yeah, great. I'm loving it. Based on the parts of the body that are still alive, which is why hair and nails keep growing. Which also isn't true. Mm, they're just the skin retract. Yeah, you dehydrate like Henry Cavill does whenever he's the Witcher. That's right. And it just makes you leaner and meaner and your nails longer.

Hell yeah. But anyway, you were looking for logic. We're not existing. Yeah, I know. I'm just talking. Yeah, yeah. I'm spinning my wheels, man. Sometimes we're just talking. You think we get to 20 minutes by staying on task? Oh, we get to 20 minutes by pointing out just random stuff we saw. Like that guy with his big laptop computer, his big sleeve laptop. I'm like, I'm loving this. I'm loving this 2002 technology.

His freaking portfolio laptop computer that he has welded to his arm. I'm going to do some hacking. Click. Tapety, tapety, tapity tap, you know what I mean? That's ridiculous. You can't even, you have to one-hand type. Yeah. Just put it on the ground.

And also, like, put your arm on a bench. On a bench. That's heavy, right? Yeah, lugger that around. Yeah. Do your freaking shoulder. Look at that thing around. Stupid.

Yeah. But Milo Jobevich, one of the memories that she remembers by delving into her memories is that she's got Matrix powers. That's right. Everybody's doing the Matrix. It's 2002. There's a great moment where she kicks a zombie into just loose beakers filled with various colored liquids. All right. That's cool, I guess.

There's a moment where Michelle Rodriguez, like machine guns a dude who just gets flung into a bunch of, I don't know, beakers. Yeah, beakers. Beakers. That's good, too. Yeah. Three months of training, apparently, to get that dog kickers. down. They up the wall

and into the dog. Absolutely worth it 100%. This is a good moment. Hashtag up the wall and into the dog. How do you feel about the liquor?

I mean, when it arrived I'm like finally some actual Resident Evil stuff. Yeah, that was nice. Zombies are Resident Evil. They've been trying to get rid of zombies for years. Yeah, you're probably right.

Sometimes they're mushroom men or whatever. They're mostly mushroom men now. Yeah. And big ladies. Big ladies. You're not saying me complain, Mason. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with a big tall lady.

It's a shame that the liquor is CGI so much because they did build a physical animatronic puppety thing. Again, the thing you said before, where they did a fully chopped up Colin Salman and diced salmon. Yeah. And you don't see it. Delicious. Delicious diced salmon for German perverts.

Some Germans got it. Some Perf. Like, we have it on the screen. We've only got this BTS footage. This sucks. That's good. Give us a piece of Colin Salman if you've got some. Post us a bit of Colin Salman.

We'll take it. We'll put it up on the wall. You know what is funny in this? Yes. Michelle Rodriguez gets. bit like 90 times. Yeah, and she doesn't turn till right at the end. Yeah.

It just keeps happening. She's just constantly bandaging herself up. She's like, just a flesh wound. Don't even worry about it. And this is after also that they speak to the AI or whoever. It's like, if you get bit or scratched or look that, you'll turn into a zombie. I'm fine, actually. I'm fine.

I'm fine. I'm the exception to proves the rule, actually. Michelle Rubikas, don't worry about it. Don't even worry about it. God, don't even worry about it. And yeah, I don't know if we mentioned it up top when we spoiled it, but it was James pure foy who released the virus. He did it this whole time. And Miller Joved, she didn't want to do any of the virus stuff when she got her memory. She's like, but you were my fake husband? I think I remember,

unless it was the other guy? Was it the other guy? Eric Mabius or whatever his name is? Eric Mabius. What are you doing here? You might be in weeds. Mabius, I am. I don't know if he is in weeds, but he's in something like that. Yeah. That man was born to be in like a pair of pleated slacks and a sort of blousey shirt with the sleeves rolled up in an undone tie going, sure is hard to be a finance, bro, in the early 2000s. Man, I'm nearly out of gel. That's right. Luckily, my new palate of gel has arrived.

So this actually only got picked up by Sodi halfway through distribution, which is while they were doing it under other production companies, which I guess makes sense for them because, you know, you wait to see if it's going to be a success or not. One thing I also like about this is because Milojovich is like thrown around so much in this, at the end when she's all like banged up, A lot of those bruises are just real. There it is.

She's just getting thrown onto metal gradings all movie or whatever. And W.S. Annes is like, terrific. Fire the makeup department. We don't need them anymore. So the ending of this, she's the only one who survives. As far as we know. As far as we know.

Her mate gets turned into a monster. We'll see him next movie. The guy from the 2000s guy. Yeah, Eric Mabius. Eric Mabius. Yeah. Will he become the nemesis? Maybe as he will.

So the ending is, yeah, that she's captioned and whatever. It's the 28 days later. It's the Walking Dead beginning. This actually came out a few months earlier than 28 days later. Is this the first thing to do a wake up in the hospital and there's a zombie outbreak thing happening? Let's say yes. Let's say yes. Don't correct us in the comments.

Even if we're wrong, we're not wrong. That's right. There's other versions that they nearly went with. One where Alice is cornered by Matt, who turned into the monster. Oh, yes. He's the Mabius monster. Oh, yes. Very good.

Not like the monster is in the next one. He's a different monster in that. And only one alternate ending was filmed. A sequel bait ending where Alice escapes from an umbrella. then months later goes back to rescue Matt. Whoa, I'm coming for you, Matt. I'm already a monster. It was a monster long months ago.

Well, you're going to cop it then. Big kick. Big deadly kick. Big deadly kick. I've got robot powers or something later. Maybe. I can't remember. Yeah.

I just want to quickly mention as well, one of the other versions they nearly went with before. This one was Alan B. McElroy. He wrote a script that featured Jill Valentine. It featured her nude and running. Nude and. running simultaneously?

I believe so. Wow. There were zombie dogs. Okay. Zogs? The team gets trapped in an elevator while being surrounded by giant hornets. And a moment where they get caught

between zombies and a giant tarantula. Sometimes you do see shit like that just in a resident evil. It's just like, oh, you found the giant snake. Yeah. Now you're going to fight this giant snake. You're in the giant snake room. What are you going to escape from the giant snake room?

You can't. The camera angles prohibit it. Yeah. It's in no way. I think you'll find you haven't got the right key or code to escape the giant snake. You have to kill the giant snake first and then it will give you a key or code

or a color or a combination or a walkie-talkie. You've defeated me, Brave Knight. Here is the card code key to escape. Thank you. Thank you, Big Snake. Just to be clear, I wasn't mutated. I was always a giant snake.

That's right. I just work for whoever. They hire me. I come in, I go, yes, please. It's hard to be, you can't get like a receptionist job or anything if you're a giant snake. People are put off by it. That's right. There was welded a big laptop to me.

I couldn't figure it out. I don't know, man. Anyway, that all sounds wonderful as a, as an alternative script. Yeah. But how are they going to do that with no budget? Big terrain I guess they just put a regular-sized tarantial

in next to the camera eight-legged frets I'll tell you this James this isn't a very good movie but I did find it in the in retrospect it is quite charming Yeah absolutely

To do all this To do all this dumb crap On such a low budget Not that low Admittedly 30 million dollars is not nothing Yeah But you know

We'll talk about how well it did do Yeah But it's time for trivia evil The trivia section of the show The makeup department and crew Had a hard time dealing with the dogs who kept licking the zombie makeup off their bodies. That would happen.

That would happen. It's like they've just covered him in a barbecue sauce. That's good. It's lunchtime, folks. Go to craft services. That's just dogs covered in barbecue sauce. Well, you can lick them as much as you want. Eric Mabius.

Go for it. Miller Joavich did all her own stunts except for the pipe jump in the sewer. A stunt double was used because her agent thought she could get tangled in the wires. That could happen. Yeah. The working title for this was...

Resident Evil won? First Resident Evil. Resident Evil ground zero. Oh, yes. But then September 11 happened and they went, let's not call it that. Yeah. Let's give it a different name. Resident Evil never forget how good it is, the movie Resident Evil and the game.

I won't forget. Of course, as we mentioned, Milojovich and Paul W.S. Anderson, they met on the set of this and they were married in August of 2009. It'd be weird if they got married in 2009, but they didn't meet on the set of Resident Evil. Like they didn't meet it all. Every time, actually, every time Miller Jovich was on set, it was just the second unit director. So I never met her. But I'm like, she looks all right. I reckon I'll marry her.

Yeah. Then I went on one of those shows that was like, marry an awful person that you've never met. They're always at screenings and stuff. They're like, well, there's the cast of Farmer hates his fucking wife. And I'm like, cool, great. Wow. And then you turn your head and you're like, whoa, you were on a hole in the wall.

You're my hero. They have three children together. Great. Did you know this? Colin Salomon's character's name is James Shade. I did know that. Isn't his nickname like The One or something? Yeah.

Like Jetly's The One. That's cool. That's cool! That's cool. Is he a character in the games? I don't think so. Okay, but they were just like, this is James Shade. Yeah, I know.

There's obviously characters from the games that come over into the movies. Different continuity, so just to be clear. You were almost a Salman sandwich. That's what they could have said if he was in the games. Absolutely, easy. Chase at Isaacs, who's a personal friend of director Paul W.S. Anderson. Yeah, that sense about right. Yeah.

Based on how they look. British guys. I don't know, British. They got that hair from that era. Yep. Haven't changed it. I haven't changed it. He took a day off filming the tuxedo.

Great movie. Great movie. For this cameo. And this is interesting. He's someone who loves this movie and someone who hates it. And they're both you. Just kidding. During COVID lockdown in 2020,

James Cameron reviewed in an interview with Empire that he had a surprising affection for this movie saying that it's one of my guilty pleasure films that I actually think is quite beautifully made. Watching Michelle Rodriguez in that film, moving like a feral creature, is joyful. There you go. They've avatar together. Yeah, and he, you know, and he, he, he, he,

You know, the Terminator was like a kind of scrappy kind of put together horror movie. That makes sense. And this is aliens in a way. It's aliens in a way, isn't it? Yeah, true. But Roger Ebert. Oh, yes. This old stick in the mud.

This old commudgeon, what did he have to say about this? Well, it made his most hated list. In the review, he lampooned the fact that objects like doors make slamming noises, even when they're not moved. The lack of scientific logic, probably the dehydration stuff. Sure. And the graceless way. that the zombies move in. The only praise he said was for the laser corridor sequence.

Correct. Correct. Well, pretty immature criticism, Roger Ebert, unlike ours, which is legendary. Yeah. RIP. Do you reckon he even notice the big laptop on the other? I doubt it. It doesn't seem like you mentioned it.

Anyways, yeah, as you mentioned, the budget was $33 million, but it made $103. Okay. I couldn't find hard numbers on it, but I think this really did well on DVD. It would have, yeah, $100. Which is why we got a sequel. People would have been like, oh, I remember the laser grid and the big kick. I bet the rest of the movie is just as good, all the stuff I don't remember. Oh, it's just standing around in halls and rooms.

Pipes. Pipes are there. When the bullet drops, do you reckon that's a CGI bullet? A little bullet they zoomed in on or they made a big bullet. Because you know when the Lord of the Rings, they made a big ring when they wanted to see the ring up close? We'll have to ask that German pervert. Because if anybody got it, he got it. Yeah, but you know where he's put it.

Up his bum. Up his bum, Mason. Wow. Wow. I agree. Wow. He insisted they made a physical version. Make it big like the big ring.

Make it like the big ring in the Lord of the Rings. Anyways, you want to hit towards next week? It's Resident Evil too, what? Apocalypse? Yeah, that's like whatever it's called? Yeah. None of these are numbered. No.

It's the one where the world ends and then in the sequel that ends again, I guess. Dude, this is going to drop off a cliff so hard views-wise. You think so? Absolutely. There'll be a random spike. But I don't know where they'll be. It'll be based on what people, like the novelty that people remember from what, but also I don't remember.

Like, isn't there one where like a prop plane drives through, flies through a bunch of zombies on the ground? I remember that being cool. But what one's at in five, four? Four, five, three. I don't know. I don't know either. This is a terrible idea, but I remember them sort of getting better.

Yeah. Maybe, I don't know. But again, that's faulty memories. You're just remembering your memories, much like a resident evil person would. I'm just here in my mansion remembering my memories and that soft focus. focus way. Oh wait, I'm just thinking of savage guns. I knew I loved you before I met you.

Damn. If you do want to see these videos early, as mentioned, three places. Patreon.com slash Mr. Sunday movies, big sandwich.coe or become a YouTube member. As mentioned, there is a Resident Evil video. We've got two videos that look at them actually, one where we look at Resident Evil 4 and one that we look at Resident Evil 2. The old ones, the bad ones, tank controls.

Yes. Awful. But also two versions of four. Awfully fun. Awfully fun. And we did a commentary of this first movie. Did we? I don't if you remember.

No. No, not at all. Thank you so much to Ben for the edit. Thank you, Ben. Thank you so much to Lawrence for the edit. Thank you, Lawrence. See on the next five of these. Grab that jammy, guys.

We'll see you next week. Five times. Five more times.
