''[[Resident Evil (film)|Resident Evil]]'' is a film series based loosely on the video games of [[Resident Evil|the same name]].

The series was developed by Paul W.S. Anderson and is often decried by fans of the game series.

* ''[[Resident Evil: Extinction]]'' (2007)

----

* [[Abandoned Hospital Awakening]]: Alice does this at the end of the movie.

* [[Action Girl]]: Alice is the standout example, but there's also Rain.

* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: At one point the surviving team members go through air vents to evade the zombies.

* [[Alice Allusion]]: Alice, the Red Queen, and in later movies, the White Queen.

* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Bullets run out only when the film demands it. Otherwise even the REVOLVERS can shoot non-stop with no need to reload whatsoever.

* [[Canon Immigrant]]: The Red Queen evidently.

* [[Dwindling Party]]

* [[Dueling Hackers]]: Kaplan has a hacking duel with the Red Queen AI to bypass her defenses.

* [[Hand Signals]]: Rain Ocampo and the team leader.

* [[Hologram]]: The Red Queen's projected image.

** As Cracked [http://www.cracked.com/article_18781_umbrella-most-wasteful-movie-corporation-ever.html notes above], the highly-trained tactical team spends twenty minutes somehow ''not'' landing a headshot on the zombies. [[A-Team Firing|They hit the walls, the floor, and the locks on the containment units.]]

*** Speaking of said locks, they are designed to contain some of the most dangerous viruses known to man. Which, when damaged, unlocks instead of staying shut. There's ''no'' kind of manual lock backup, like actual biohazard vaults might have in addition to the electronics. Who designed that syst- oh, right, Umbrella.

* [[It Gets Worse]]: Every film has more than a few examples. For example, the team shut down the Red Queen, [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|only to release what she was trying to keep locked up]].

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: The Red Queen, you know, being that she's a terrifyingly intelligent supercomputer, pulls one when the protagonists are trying to escape the labs to get out of the Hive before it seals, trapping them. In addition, a Licker is at the window of the lab slowly breaking through. The choice? Kill Rain, thereby invoking [[Vasquez Always Dies]], who was infected with the T-virus insuring zombification or let her live and be trapped in the lab and be killed by the Licker. Either way the Queen wins as the virus is contained regardless. At least until Kaplan [[Take a Third Option|takes option three]] by frying the Red Queen, unlocking the door and allowing everyone to escape. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|This goes badly]].

* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Duh
