The Weekly Planet - Resident Evil: Retribution - Caravan Of Garbage

Episode Date: September 10, 2026

We've been looking at the Paul WS Anderson/Milla Jovovich Resident Evil movies for what feels like one hundred million years. And it's a crying shame that all of us are coming to realise that these m...ovies might not actually be good. In addition to Alice coming back as always we also get the return of Michelle Rodriguez, Colin Salmon and Oded Fehr characters confirmed long dead. PLUS the introduction of more beloved game characters Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong! All this feels like it should add up to something but we're sorry to report that is not the case.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Before watching Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil Retribution, I couldn't tell you what this movie was about for all the bread and cheese in China, Mason. I couldn't tell you. My goodness. Yeah. Not even for all the umbrella bucks, which is presumably some sort of post-apocalyptic currency. Currency made out of pieces of an umbrella. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Yeah, I know I probably couldn't do that either. Interesting. I just had no memory of, I knew it was the clones one. But beyond that, like what is this one supposed to be? you know? I don't even know if I'd seen this one. You're going to say, surely I had. I don't know if you have seen it.
Starting point is 00:00:35 I think maybe I tapped out at four. This is five though, right? This is five, all right? This is definitely five. We've got, it's this one. We just got to get through this one. And then we've got one more, or we stop at five. Let us know in the comments.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Should we just stop at five? We could. We stopped at one blade movie. That's right. We're never going to do any more blade movies. Well, we did promise we do another blade movie when the MCU makes a blade movie. And they haven't. I'm not talking about dead.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Pool versus Wolverine, by the way. Are you talking about those what if episodes where he was like Blade Blade Night or whatever? That's what I'm talking about you. But they haven't made one of those, so I'm not worried about it Mason at all. Terrific. If you've seen it, it's just an AI thing. It's not real. Don't worry about it. You can't convince me.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Anyways, please leave a like for this one. Oh, yeah. I appreciate the little vlog that Alice does at the start to be like, okay, so this is what happened in the first movie. Yada, yada, yada, yada. Other movies shipping containers. It's very interesting. This one gets a recap. And I... But it's only...
Starting point is 00:01:30 the recap of the first movie really. But it really it is. It's the recap of the first movie. Also who is she talking to? Are her audience on YouTube? Is it us? Yes. I guess we are her audience on YouTube. All her subscribers. What else are you going to do in the post-apocalyptic future if you're down in one of those 3D wireframe bunkers or whatever?
Starting point is 00:01:46 Is this a Vimeo exclusive? Yeah, it's a Vimeo exclusive. It's the only video on Vimeo is what it is. But it's interesting because this, initially I'm like... Leave a like. We have to. Yeah, I know. Initially, I'm like, why is this one, why is this one the one that gets the recap? And then
Starting point is 00:02:03 of course we learn, spoiler alert, because it's in the opening titles, it's going to bring back several of the characters from Resident Evil One. That's why, because they want to remind the audience of the characters from Resident Evil One, but why? It's pointless. Because they could be anybody. Yeah. They're just mind. They don't have the same personalities.
Starting point is 00:02:20 No, they don't have any memories of her. They're just, it's the same actors, and it's nice to see him again. It's nice to see Colin Salman as one. James the one shade. James the one shade. I'd forgotten that he was in this. Well, he's the one. He certainly is.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Michelle Rodriguez is back as rain. And another lady. Another lady. Again, it's a fascinating idea because, of course, one is, you know, we learn that umbrella has been taking DNA fragments and cloning various people for various reasons. They've built underground bunkers where they manufacture like a whole town or a city or whatever. But why?
Starting point is 00:02:57 And they populate it with people. give them all memories and they give them stuff to do and jobs and families or whatever. And then they just drop the T virus on them or whatever just to see what'll happen. You know what's going to happen. You already know what's going to happen. It's made the apocalypse for a while now. Why are you still doing this? We've determined that if we drop the T virus, it would kill everybody in the world and turn over to zombies. Yeah, it happened already. You don't have to keep testing this, honestly.
Starting point is 00:03:22 But yeah, so what we learn is that they've been doing this. So there's a bunch of Colin Salman's out there and a bunch of Michelle Rodriguez. is out there. Yeah, they're going to hang it off racks like it's fucking dry cleaning. Exactly. And so I'm like, oh, that's quite interesting. What's going to happen when... That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:03:38 That's interesting. What's going to happen when, you know, season soldier Michelle Rodriguez meets suburban, you know, a girl boss, Michelle Rodriguez. Nothing, because they don't. But that would also be expensive. That would be like Jet Lees the one, speaking of, where he fights Jet Lees the one. The split screen would be expensive. And the split diopter?
Starting point is 00:03:57 Are you kidding me? Oh, my God. You know? Oh, yeah. And then you're like, oh, but maybe, you know, Michelle Rodriguez's character gets another chance to live. No, she double dies. Spoiler alert. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:09 One of them gets dragged down into a frozen lake by some zombies, and the other one, the suburban one, just gets thrown into a big stone thing and cracks their head open and dies. Yeah. Pretty cool. And she was the one that was like, I don't even like guns. I'm a liberal. I went to liberal arts college. I'd rather smash my head into a big stone monument or side of a building or whatever to use a gun. Oh, I did.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Hooray! You know the opening of this? Yes. So it opens pretty much exactly where the last one ends, where the Umbrella Corporation are converging on that big ship where all the people came out of, including Kmart. And it's in reverse. Yes. And I'm like, okay, something has happened around this time. And this movie was edited by Niven Howie.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Which is an obviously backwards name. It'd be Howie Niven, surely. Absolutely it would. Suspicious. Suspicious. Fake name. Probably Paul W.S. Anderson did this. But anyway, what happened in time?
Starting point is 00:05:08 Well, yeah, so I was thinking, yeah, what's a popular thing that might have happened around this time that Paul W.S. Anderson took? Because he does the Mortal Kombat X-ray bone breaking as well. Yeah, he does. Which came out the year before. This is the first trailer for Dead Island from 2011. Do you remember that one?
Starting point is 00:05:25 Okay, and this came out in 2012. Exactly. Exactly. Okay, so it was boiling and bubbling in his head for a few months anyway. Let's do Dead Island. Let's do Dead Island. That was zombies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:34 That was zombies. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Even though there's no zombies in that opening, I think. Because it's just gyrocopters and jumping and explosions. Jill Valentine. Although you don't recognize it as Jill Valentine. I don't recognize anybody in this. Other stuff, you know.
Starting point is 00:05:50 So Umbrella had previously had made fake multiple city blocks sized, versions of New York and Moscow and Japan. Japan and whatever. Which is the one we saw in Resident Evil goes to Japan, I guess. Yes, but that was the real one. And this is recreating that. Because remember, they crash land into that at the start. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Because the facility is underground. But doesn't this one have exactly the same guy that gets bitten by a zombie in it, like literally exactly? Clones, man. Pay attention. Okay. All right. But yes, it does.
Starting point is 00:06:23 And the same zombie lady that does it. To the exact same guy. Yeah. And the initial reason they did this, and this is before the outbreak, is because they were demonstrating to the different powers of the world what it would do on a population. To their nemesies. Yeah. On a, like a highly urbanized environment. And then they sold it to all the different factions of the world.
Starting point is 00:06:45 And that's how the T-Virus started. So it wasn't... Australia probably bought theirs to drop it on New Zealand. Probably. Yeah. I'm okay with that. Yeah. So it wasn't one outbreak.
Starting point is 00:06:54 No. It was a series of outbreaks. It was an arouse. arms race. But yeah, like you said, they're still doing it. And so they're running these billion dollar survival scenarios for nobody. It's bizarre. Well, you know, they got the budget for it. And if they don't spend the budget that year, they drop the budget next year. So you got you got to do it. In fact, you do it. And then you're like, we could do with a few more blocks next year of Russia or whatever. Yeah, whatever. They're like, all right. Yeah. This also, I feel like
Starting point is 00:07:23 is kind of, it's just like a remake or homage of the first movie. And one of the reveals in this initially was going to be that that team that went underground in the first one, they were clones. Right. And these were the... So these in this movie might be the originals. It's never said, but I think it is
Starting point is 00:07:39 in expanded media that everybody... Yuck expanded media. Agree. And not the games. I'm talking about the novelizations of like these movies. Is that everybody who pretty much works for umbrella is a clone. That's why they... Because why would you? You would just, you know, not. You just not, just don't.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Anyway, so Alice, you know, there's a fake Alice and then she's killed, but she has a daughter or whatever. But then the real Alice. Okay, but I was going to say, but that that's actually an interesting idea, right? Yes, it is. What does happen here is that Paul W.S. Anderson is like, oh, wait, we went four movies and we didn't give Alice any character development. Let's do it now. Yeah. And then throw it away later, I guess.
Starting point is 00:08:15 What I thought was quite good in this, and I think the best part of the movie probably is the bit at the start where Anne Alice wakes up. like a suburban housewife and she's got bangs and she's got her husband, Odette Fares come back. He's back. And they've got a daughter. And then all of a sudden it's like, it's like suburban, you know. It's dawn of the dead. It's dawn of the dead. It's suburban. It's dawn of the dead. And she doesn't have any skills because she doesn't know how to do a big jump and a kick and she doesn't have two guns. Even though that's the law. She's broken the law here. And I like that. I like that it felt very, you know, there were some shots in there that were like reminiscent of psycho, I thought. Sure.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Kind of interesting and fun. And then I like the idea that, oh, and then this character died. She's not real, but the daughter has survived. So maybe we're going to give Alice a sort of Ripley and Aliens kind of thing. Yeah, maybe we'll just bang out aliens in five minutes. That's exactly right. And then they're like, nah. It really is like that because, well, Paul W.S. Anderson, he directed an aliens movie.
Starting point is 00:09:15 That's true. He did the best one, Alien versus Predator. The best Alien versus Predator movie. I don't think that's everything. I think it is true. So there's kind of newish or evolved zombies in this. One of them is a big liquor that cocoons people. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:28 And it takes the little girl at one point after she clings on to Alice. And she's like, are you my mum? And Alice is like, absolutely, sure. Sure. Good as any. Yeah. Or you can just pick one of these off the rack. That's right.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Doesn't have to be made. We can dress her up, however you like. But yeah, it's also the return of the nude wake-up, which a Resident Evil loves. Alice has been imprisoned wearing a prison jumpsuit made out of two pieces of A3 paper. How innovative. And, you know, if you spend all your budget on rebuilding Moscow block by block, I guess that's all you have left for a prison uniform. You've got to cut costs, don't you?
Starting point is 00:10:02 That's true. Also, Albert Wesker is alive? Yes. It explosioned. He explosioned, I guess. But one of those serious explosions, like one of those cataclysmic explosions. Yeah. Also clones and whatever.
Starting point is 00:10:13 He probably grew back from his smirk. He probably did. But he's now a good guy, and he wants to work with Alice. You've been so easily tricked. Jason, I've seen the entirety of this movie and by the end he is the president and he is a good guy, I think you'll fine. But the Red Queen in this
Starting point is 00:10:30 is now the villain who's the hologram AI girl. And she's put together the sweet dream team of like, you know, of previous Resident Evil members. Sure. So now we get new characters because Wentworth Miller couldn't return as Chris Redfield. Game characters I'm talking about. We get Ada Wong
Starting point is 00:10:46 and Leon S. Kennedy. Ada with her signature grappling hook, I guess. Yeah. That's from Resenters. at Evil 4 and others probably? I'm well aware. So that's Lee Bing Bing. Yes. Who's a famous actor, by the way?
Starting point is 00:10:59 Agreed. She's in the Meg, I think. One of the Meg movies or both of the Meg movies, I don't remember. All her dialogue is dubbed by Sally Cahill who voices her in the video games because of her accent. And you can, that's very noticeable. That's interesting. And it's interesting they actually gave some work to somebody who worked on the games. For once?
Starting point is 00:11:18 Yeah. Well, they nearly gave work to somebody else who worked on these games. We'll get to it later. Okay. But we got a Leon, played by that guy. Johann Erb. And we get Barry Burton. Yes, we do. Played by Kevin Durant.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Kevin Durant is here. What's he up to, man? No, I'm always fascinated by what he's up to. Seems like a nice fellow, you know? He's implanted the apes and whatever. That's true. He was the blob or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, man. Leon Kennedy. I mean, I'm a big fan of the character.
Starting point is 00:11:47 He's not beautiful enough. He's not beautiful enough. Wasn't Leon Kennedy famously like, wasn't he, designed by the female staff at Capcom to be the most beautiful man they could think of? Absolutely. That's what I'm holding myself off. More objectification. More objectification. I guess this guy's handsome, but he's not like, he's not like, he couldn't be in BTS, could he? No. But Leon Kennedy could be in BTS. Definitely. Is that what it is? BTS? Yeah, behind the scenes. That's right.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I agree. He's not, I mean, he's fine. As anybody who comes into. But not fine. Yeah, I think their hair doesn't work on him and in live action. Yeah. Because it's like, you would never grow that out of this world. You'd get grabbed immediately or you'd get pulled into a weird propeller or something. And it's not long enough to like man-bonnet? It's too long at the front, but yeah, but not long enough to man-butt. It needs to be probably need an inch off the front at least, Mason.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Get in your eyes. Get in your eyes. Are you trying a two-gun something? Bang, bang, bang. Exactly. Anyways, got signature Leon S. Kennedy clothes, which I enjoy. Mason, the setting of this, the entire movie is actually set underground in Russian-Siberian play. Wow, that's great.
Starting point is 00:12:53 And you know that because the elevator down there has a giant USSR flag on it, which also is the wrong flag for this fucking era. But whatever, Mason. I guess because the real Russian flag now, it's not identifiable. People will be like, what's this? What's this supposed to be? And you know what, Mason? It's borshed.
Starting point is 00:13:10 It's just a picture of borsh on the flag. You know, I love 3D maps and it becomes a 3D map and goes back to live action. In this movie, man, I'm just fuck. I'm sick of it. Wow. If there's one thing that's broken me, I'm like, okay, enough. You nailed this already two or three movies ago. This is devastated to be actually, to get to the point to be like...
Starting point is 00:13:30 As a great lover of the wireframe transition from computer world to real world. Yeah. You should have been, you should have been this movie's number one defender. I thought I'd come in here and you'd be like, and don't you still love that? No. I do not love it. You're a broken man. I am a broken man.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Anyway, there's other zombies in this as well. There's... Furry hat-wearing zombie. Yeah, so... Soviet zombie on a motorbike. Sobeer zombies. I think they're too cartoon-like in this. They're almost like left for dead kind of...
Starting point is 00:13:56 What's the one where they're all in the mall, the video game? Oh, uh, whatever that one is. Ball zombie man. No, I'm going to think of it. It's called... Survive the mall. No. I thought picture perfect, but that's not what it's called.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Run around. I'm going to look it up. You've got a bike and a chainsaw on a stick. Is that a Capcom game as well? I think so. Dead rising. Dead rising. God, zombies.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Picture perfect. Yeah, I agree. It's picture perfect as far as I'm concerned. So Paul W. Sanderson, I was watching some BTS for this. Oh, yes. And he said that the reason the zombies can now ride bikes and cars and do weapons, he just, he said, because they're mutating. Which is also the thing they were trying to do in other movies.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Remember they were experimenting on them to get them to do like menial tasks? Zombie butlers, I remember. But now they can drive fucking gear shifts and motorbikes and like communicate. But can you point them in any direction or do you just give them equipment and just let them loose? I think you just put them in a room with a bunch of stuff and you see what they gravitate. towards. Oh look, that one's learning to Pogo Stick. We'll incorporate that into our military maneuvers, Pogo Stick zombie.
Starting point is 00:14:57 So it's like raising a kid where you give them a whole lot of different options and see whether they want to Different knives and guns and stuff. Different heavy machinery. Yeah. Oh, also, Big Axe Hammer Guy's back and He's got a brother. Or clones or whatever? Or boyfriend, girlfriend? They could be boyfriend, girlfriends. Yeah. I love the comically sized nail
Starting point is 00:15:15 through one of their heads. Like, it looks like a cartoon Tom and Jerry fucking nail. Right. That's a short-lived scenario. isn't it? Also, still no explanation is why they've done this. No. I guess it mostly worked last time. It's just what you're gravitating towards.
Starting point is 00:15:28 You drive a nail through your head and you're right around with a big axe. That's probably true. This movie's also really boring and it looks bad. There's a moment where they... Well, it's filming in 3D again. There's a moment where they drive, I think it's a limousine or something. You're talking down the... Down and into the Moscow subway station and it looks terrible.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Nothing's there. Sometimes it is real as well, which is... And that's hard to look at when it's real or that it's not, when it cuts between. And some of your favourites are getting killed off, man. Like the guy from the previous movie who we didn't talk about, who survives. Famous character Luther West? Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Do you think he's related to Frank West? From Dead Rising? Dead Rising? Do you think they're related? I think they're related. Yeah. Yeah. I think they're married.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Well, that's great. That's great. Yeah, he is back, isn't he? Yeah. It's funny. They run around and they get out of the facility and whatever. See, that's it. The movie's just them.
Starting point is 00:16:20 running around. There's nothing creative or exciting. Yeah. They're just running around from one nation to the other. They even have the laser corridor, sort of. Yeah. What the fuck are we doing with this laser corridor? I'm sorry. You were the world's number one laser corridor defender a few movies ago. Mason, I'm currently getting one installed behind my red light sauna. Terrific.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I'm thinking of combining them both. That's right. You do a cold plunge and then you defeat the laser grid corridor hallway. And then you're ready to face the day. You certainly are, yeah. So they'll get out of whatever And then there's a big confrontation So Jill Valentine is also in this
Starting point is 00:16:54 Yeah but also it's not a big confrontation It's worse Yeah it is It's boring It's so It's even you mentioned They've got the giant liquor You're not going to end the movie
Starting point is 00:17:02 With them fighting the giant liquor No No you can end up fighting Jill Valentine and Michelle Rodriguez I guess But there's the moment where she gives herself That virus and Leon's like I'm from Resident Evil 4 That's the last plug us from Resident Evil 4
Starting point is 00:17:15 And I'm like damn This movie has everything And at the same time Nothing Nothing for anyone. But also, this was the point in the movie where I went, oh, I haven't seen this. Yeah. I would have, I realized I've seen the trailers.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I also realized in 2012 I was living in a remote part of Australia and there was no cinema. So I definitely not seen this. This is the moment I in the cinema said that. I'm like, no, I haven't seen this. I haven't seen this. Yeah. Michelle Rodriguez, she's invincible until she's not because of ice and whatever. Cold plunge.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yeah, the cold plunge. Yeah, the cold plunge. She should have started a day with a cold plunge in a laser grid. Yeah. And then maybe a green smoothie and then she would have survived the coal plunge later. Easy, no problem, not a problem. But she didn't stretch.
Starting point is 00:17:54 But she's got punch you in the heart powers. She does got punch you in the heart and then you see the heart and the heart stops. Powers. Just add it. Just shamelessly adding stuff and going, you like this in another thing, don't you? Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Also, why is it green? Great question. Bones aren't green? But these are resident evil bones, so. Exactly right. Just to say what is green and what is not. And finally, someone kicks that fucking thing off Jewel Valentine's chest. Yeah, which they should have done 90 minutes ago.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Come on, yeah. Ridiculous. She's not even in the next movie. There's like no payoff of this at all. God. And also, and then Leon and Ader are in love. They're like, oh, because they're a couple in the game, sort of, or they like each other in the games.
Starting point is 00:18:40 How much screen time do they actually share in this movie? I think the end. Like the final conversation in the end when he puts his hand on the leg. And she's like, don't. Yeah. We only know each other and our boyfriend and girlfriend In the games In real life
Starting point is 00:18:53 No, stop this They also might not be boyfriend and girlfriend in the games In real life, I find you old and ugly Wow Yeah You don't find him BTS? I don't find him BTS Damn mad
Starting point is 00:19:04 I don't even find him Quickly Googles BTK A second He's not even the BTK killer I don't even find him stray kids or 17 You don't?
Starting point is 00:19:15 Nope Wow man That's crazy Mm-hmm, yeah. Anyways, they're summoned to the Oval Office, where the president is there. Regular president? Mason, I mentioned this earlier. You know it's not the regular president.
Starting point is 00:19:27 It's Albert Wesker. Okay, but now it could be any worse than the regular president. Oh, oh! All right, okay. Things are heating up in here. There's the political satire alert. That's going off. We did it, folks.
Starting point is 00:19:40 I thought the twist was going to be, and it probably is in the next movie, that the red hologram girl was good, and he was evil because he's fucking Albert Wesker and he's always the bad guy but he gives Milojovich her resident evil powers back
Starting point is 00:19:57 which is her mind pushing abilities and whatever I should and being big and strong and fast and running around and kicking a dog yeah that's right but things are getting really hectic at the White House because it's all being stormed upon
Starting point is 00:20:08 and whatever anyway so we talk about every week but like what's memorable what's the thing you know from this and I think it's clones I think it's just this is the clones one. Yeah, but I thought a previous one was the clones one as well.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Like that doesn't jump out at me. I guess it's... Some of them are the clones one. I guess it's X-ray Mortal Kombat punches. But that's from Mortal Kombat. For me, it is, I think, Soviet Kremlin guard with the furry hat on the motorbike with the rocket launcher or whatever.
Starting point is 00:20:36 I guess that's it. And them driving down their car down into the Moscow subway system, which looks terrible. It's a good bit, though. It's a good bit, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. I think this is a good bit.
Starting point is 00:20:46 This is one of the least memorable ones. Absolutely. I mean, also because I didn't remember whether I'd seen it or not, but just even looking back now, I'm like, but what's good? The mother-daughter relationship's all right. There's something there. And is that going to be carried off over into the next movie?
Starting point is 00:21:03 I don't know. I doubt it. The kid's just going to be gone, right? Yeah. Eaton or whatever. Yeah. Or written off in a novelization as characters often are. I'm going to do a whole segment next week on the characters that just disappeared from
Starting point is 00:21:15 these movies. And what apparently happened to them, all right? Terrific. I guess it's the backwards bit at the start. That's the memorable bit, right? Oh, from that... From Dead Island, yeah. From Dead Island, yeah. All right. Well, you know what's time for?
Starting point is 00:21:27 What's it time for? It's trivia time. Resident Evil 5. Don't mind if I do. Trivia section. Wow. This movie's called Resident Evil Retribution. Who's doing the retribution? Who's getting the retribution?
Starting point is 00:21:36 Who's doing the retribution? Who's getting retributed against? Are we being retributed as the audience? I think so for liking one of the previous one. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We didn't do nothing. We didn't do nothing but support this franchise. I'm telling you that.
Starting point is 00:21:51 And we're getting retributed on? This is some nonsense, if you ask me. But also, like, as we've talked about every week, this could be the name of any of these movies, really. Yeah. Anyways, Kevin Durand is in this. I know we mentioned it, but I just want to mention he does kill James the One Shade,
Starting point is 00:22:07 which is a hell of a maneuver. Because they've got a classic rivalry, don't they? Yeah. You know? They've been setting this up since the first. first movie that he's going to be killed by Barry Burton, that James One Shea is going to be killed by Barry Burton. And it's so satisfying. It is. Because they've had this rivalry and Barry Burton's always been like, I'm going to get you James
Starting point is 00:22:28 One Shea. Yeah. Isn't it bizarre that like these don't really build to anything? They don't build to anything. Like there's no, what's the backstory that we're like clinging on to? And it's not like Michelle Rodriguez got betrayed in the first movie and now she's back for revenge or whatever. But then there's also another version of her that's quite nice and you're like, oh, what could it have been if she wasn't betrayed by Alice in the first one?
Starting point is 00:22:50 None of that's there at all. She gets thrown to the ground and she dies. One's just there and she's like, I don't know who you are and I'm going to fire this gun because that's my job. Bangety bang. Bang, bang.
Starting point is 00:23:01 I'm Colin Salman. I'm here as well. He's there as well. Oh no. While filming a fight scene with Milo Jovich, a misapp occurred causing 16 actors to fall off a scaffolding that was sent to hospital. How does that even happen?
Starting point is 00:23:13 What kind of fucking domino-ass scenario are we setting up here? Right? That was the scene where Alice and one of her clones are trying to get a big pane of glass across the road in Moscow and a series of... And then a Rube Goldberg machine goes off. You better believe it. So they went to hospital and it was shut down for a few days.
Starting point is 00:23:29 And Milojovich actually visited some of the actors. It says some and not all of the actors of the doctors at the hospital. I don't know. I prefer actors who haven't been injured. That's exactly right, yeah. Yeah. It's weird as well because they were all packed into the one bed. She got halfway across
Starting point is 00:23:42 She's like, no, I'm tired of this Yeah, bad I'm tired of giving a little kiss on the forehead To all my favorites Yeah, when am I going to climb across this bed? I've kissed Colin Salman on the forehead Oh, he was involved. I kissed Michelle Rodriguez from the forehead.
Starting point is 00:23:52 She was involved too. Yeah, now I'm leaving. This is the first dogless Resident Evil movie. No dogs! It's dogless! Wow. Yeah, what do you think of that?
Starting point is 00:24:01 They should have given Suburban mom, Alice, one of those molasses covered dogs just as a pet dog and they don't reference it But it's just a very nice molasses. He's like, I love you, molasses dog.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Yeah. My man, dogless. There was consideration that we're going to dub the Leon S. Kennedy character as played by Johann Ewer, because he's an Estonian actor and he moved to the, slash model, and he moved to the US when he was like 17. Okay. And they didn't end up doing that, but one of the actors that auditioned was Matt Mercer, who had voiced Leon S. Kennedy in various media. There it is.
Starting point is 00:24:34 And they even used his voice as reference to be like, can you do this? Right. But he didn't get chosen. even though he is often but not always Leon S. Kennedy. So they dubbed Ada Wong, but they didn't dub her on and off again boyfriend, fake boyfriend. Yeah. They've just met Leon Kennedy. Correct.
Starting point is 00:24:51 That's crazy. I agree. Should it done that? Should have been funny? You know what have been funny? Mm-hmm. You give him a romance, but only in the subtitles. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:24:59 All right. I can't wait to see my boyfriend Leon Kennedy, she can say, you know? But don't touch me. Don't touch me. The fake name of Alice's husband, played by Odette Fair. Mr. Alice's husband. It's not revealed in the film, but in the novelisation. Novelization.
Starting point is 00:25:12 His name's Todd. Todd. Todd. Yeah. Todd Fair. Todd Fair. What's the character's name in... Carlos. Todd Carlos.
Starting point is 00:25:21 It's not bad. It's better than Carlos Todd. Agreed. Yeah. A little backwards-ass name. Yuck. Yuck. Anyway, he's box office on a budget of $65 million.
Starting point is 00:25:30 A little bit of a lower return for this one, 240. Point two million, but again, 3D and whatever it was that era. Still enough to make a sequel, isn't it? You better believe it is, Mason. was because what are we looking at next week? Here's a hint. It's resonable the final chapter. Yeah. At least we know what that one is.
Starting point is 00:25:47 I don't, I mean, we know it's the final chapter, but I don't know what it is, is. I imagine some characters will come back and some of the very prominent characters in this were like, I'm never leaving your side, Alice. They'll be gone, inexplicably. That's what I love about these movies. God, we're so close to the end.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Or we are at the end. See you next week for something else. Maybe. Yeah. Well, speaking of, if you do want to see that, you can early at patreon.com slash Mr. Sundaymovies, big sandwich.co, or sign up to be a YouTube member.

Starting point is 00:26:39 This wasn't a good one. Nope. What's the strike rate at this point? We're five in. One. It's one. It's the third one that Paul W. Sanderson didn't do. But he made a Van Horizon.
Starting point is 00:26:52 But I just want to be clear, I will not be gotten. I am doing this and I'm okay. Okay. All right? One left. It's like 90 minutes. I'm going to be five. They are brisk.
Starting point is 00:27:03 But they seem to be getting longer. Even though they're all almost exactly 90 minutes long, this one seemed way long. Yeah, that's what's good about it. All right, thanks everyone. Grab that jam, you guys. We'll see you next week. Oh, and thank you to Ben for the edit.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Thank you, Ben.
