Resident Evil (2002 Remake) - Goofs

One of the greatest remakes of all time takes Spencer stage.

But my mission is not to heap praise.

Focus is mainly on Jill's campaign, but Chris will occasionally pop up too. 

Contradictions

Files are largely called two different things.

Researcher's letter and Letter of a Researcher

Barry's photograph and Barry's picture

A family picture and notes and A family picture and some notes

Special instructions for the disposal of dead bodies and Special instructions when disposing dead bodies

Trevor's diary and G. Trevor's diary

Book of Curses and A Book of a Curse

Mail to the Chief of Security and Chief of Security

Perversely, some are spot on.

PLANT 42 REPORT

Organic Chemistry Lab Experiment

Mixing shit up.

This painting is described thusly:
A picture of a woman praying in front of a large crowd.

However, identical painting upstairs disagrees.

A picture of a woman mourning in front of a large crowd.

Make up your fucking mind.

Oh, message isn't included because it's split into three parts (which is weird in itself).

One more.

Plaque states Tiger With Yellow and Blue Eyes.

But inscription reads.

"A tiger glowing with blue and yellow light"

Hmmm.

Continuity

A complicated animal, but here goes.

Dining Room

Jill opens half of double door for Barry.

This is accurate to loading animation.

One problem.

Barry walks through door twice.

Dining Room (revisited)

After Jill flees from Kenneth's killer, door opens.

But she's forced to open the door again.

And it gets better.

As zombie enters room, door has vanished.

While Barry is 'taking care of it', not only has door reappeared, it's now closed.

Bathroom

Mirror casts reflection of ceiling fan.

But courtesy isn't extended to Jill and zombie.

Are they fucking vampires?

But much later at the back of Art Room.

Absolutely perfect.

Ha ha ha.

Ceiling trap

Bagging shotgun from adjacent room activates trap.

Ceiling is now a lot higher than before.

Barry drags colleague's ass to safety.

Heigh-Ho Heigh-Ho. It's through the door we go.

What happens next?

Correct. Twice again, and door stays open.

And a moment later, it's magically closed.

Richard

When we first encounter doomed dude, Yawn has just bitten him.

Unlucky mate.

But in order to access this room, we need Armor key and then Shield key to get at Yawn.

As Richard had neither, how the FUCK did he get inside?

Yeah I know, enemies frequently defy logic, but even so.

Note he's unarmed.

Yawn (first encounter)

During payback time, geezer has conveniently found an assault shotgun.

After giant reptile plays dead, subsequent cut scene plays out twice.

Residence

With Plant 42 destroyed and Helmet key secured, we bump into Wesker.

What's he shooting at?

Apparently fresh air.

When gameplay resumes.

Wasps lie dead on the floor.

Aqua Ring

If we bullshit around draining water, death is certain.
Huge crack is impossible to miss.

Just before Mother Neptune breaks tank Jaws 3 style, blemish has disappeared.

Miscellany

Inside mansion, we hear thunder and see lightning, but this never happens outside.

North leads to the Valley of Destruction.
Tempting, but I'd much rather visit the Valley of Destrution (as per signpost).

Laboratory computer releases electronic locks.
It is a well known fact that there exist many plants that are credited with medicinal healing powers.

They this makes sense, right?

What a load ROPLS.

Richard claims our friend Yawn 'had to be poisonous...'
Not really, as depending on species, snakes can only be venomous.

G. Trevor's diary (near his grave)
Even in the darkness something caught my eye too.
There isn't 31 bastard days in November.

Keeper's Diary was compiled between May 9 - May 19 1998.
However, final entry was made on May 21, and also when Keeper ate Scott.
This COMPLETELY contradicts original, as Keeper killed ugly face on May 19.
Itchy. Tasty.

PLANT 42 REPORT
Blah blah, the T-Virus has had a substantially stronger affect on this one.
Context is incorrect, as effect should've been used.

Last but not least.

A family picture and notes (first part)
Nov. 10, 1967
-Progenitor Virus administered.

Thumbs up.

However...

Observation Note
The discovery of the G-Virus was in fact 21 years after the administration of the primogenitor virus.

HA HA HA!

Until next time.
