Resident Evil 2 (1998) - Goofs

Two characters. Four scenarios. One infected rollercoaster.

Manual

Owning a physical copy has its benefits.

Blah blah blah.
Sadly for Leon and Claire, they are completely UNaware of the overwhelming world of horror and despair they both are about to enter...

Printers temporarily hit the caps lock.

Stuck? Come across a new room with nothing to do and nowhere to go? Try using items, pushing, climbing, investigating etc. Walk the perimeter of rooms and areas to find more medicine and important items. Check dead enemies for ammo.

Unofficially describing herbs and first aid sprays as meds is pretty odd.

More importantly, it's impossible to search downed enemies, only human corpses.

Scraping the barrel, if Mr. X is immobilised, he can be looted for shotgun shells, bowgun bolts etc.

Anachronisms

Magic mirror connects Interrogation Rooms A/B.
What they meant was a two-way mirror.

Tut tut.

Gator marks its introduction by roaring multiple times.
Ignoring dramatic effect, males bellow to attract potential females.

To rid the G-Virus from Sherry, Claire announces she has the antidote.

Antidotes counteract poison, so USELESS against a virus.

Continuity

As intro rolls, Chris recaps Mansion Incident.

Turning Around Zombie

They gave him teeth?

Ha ha ha!

Chopper escape
 

Screens are completely different. 

Claire A and Leon A

Let's analyse Licker encounter.

Gameplay shows headless corpse.

Cut scene begins.

Cop has vanished.

As CG kicks in, he's still gone.

When shit resumes.

Yeah...

I'm not buying for one second that hardware prevented Capcom from including character.

Nah, they just fucked up.

Claire B and Leon B

This is just weird.

Mr. X plummets into molten vat.

Importantly, feet first.

However.

Position inexplicably changes.

One can only assume that bioweapon was an Olympic diver in a previous life.

Claire A

Claire uses radio to contact Leon and sees fellow survivor on a monitor.

No radio and more importantly, without bloody bandage.

Earlier.

After taking a bullet for lady in red, Ada 'patches' Leon up.

Guess what?

Ending fixes things.

In Leon B, rookie has communication device and bandage.

Funny.

Sherry and the Sewer

After grabbing Wolf medal, floor collapses and child subsequently passes out.
Please note tin can landing on wooden crate.

Don't get too attached, because that's the last we see of random item.

Close up.

Wide shot with William.

Even after Claire returns to daughter she never had.

Negative.

Laziness

Well that's my opinion.

Trucker vs zombified form

Model is nigh on identical to back seat zombie, aka Leon 'recoloured'.

Back with Miss Birkin.

Red headband and pink coat.

In status screen, hair accessory is pale red and coat is blue.

During CG ending, band is pretty in pink.

Miscellany

I've never taken the elevater, but I'm sure experience would kick more ass than elevator. 

On closer inspection, mechanism is called lift (the British equivalent). 

WTF?

Everybody knows about this one.

Wellcome Leon.
Mistake is reffed in 2019 remake. 

Leon A and B

Leon and Ada team up to push police van.
In cases of emergencey, dial 9-1-1 for Raccoon Police Department.

'Aut'horized personal on'ly'
Of course it should be personnel.
Also, violator (rather than violations) raises eyebrows.

The best

Secretary's Diary A
I wasn't surprised to see the chief come in today with yet another large picture in his hands. This time it was a really disturbing painting depicting a nude person being hanged.

Spinning on to Operation Room.

A Sacrifice to the hell fire
Figure is actually strung up by hands, not neck.

Although severe pain is guaranteed, it would be highly unlikely this version of Strappado would result in death.

Mail to the Chief
Found in both scenarios of either character, file mentions Annette.

As you'd expect, end credits details cast.

She's erroneously called Anette.

Also, surname of Diego Matamoros is misspelled Matamores.

On behalf of the gaming community, R.I.P. Paul Haddad and Gary Krawford.

Very difficult to spot in real time, but Annette blasts Ada, not Leon.

Years later, The Darkside Chronicles righted wrong.

Brad "Chickenheart" Vickers concludes matters.

S.T.A.R.S. member Brad became a living dead. He's roaming around somewhere in the police station possessing the special key. Find him and help him rest in peace...

More more more.

Reach to the police station without getting any items!

Can't beat a bit Engrish.

One question remains - is location accurate?

Let's find out.

Assuming player satisfies conditions, uber zombie is actually found in RPD's courtyard.

(Sigh).
