Line 1:

=== The games ===
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Mother in ''Overkill'', aside from [[Goddamned Bats|the last phase]]. Probably deliberate, judging by the cutscene before the fight.
* [[Awesome Music]]:
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
* [[They Just Didn't Care]]: Sega's downloading service has a bit of a [https://web.archive.org/web/20120523071145/http://www.sonicretro.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/segaDigital01.jpg typo for ''The House of the Dead 2''], saying it's rated EC (Early Childhood).
 
=== The films ===
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: Some shots of the protagonists shooting at zombies in the first film were from ''the original game, with an "Insert Coin" message blinking on the screen!''
* [[They Just Didn't Care]]: Nowhere does it become more apparent than in the "Funny Version" of the first film, where we see endless scenes of everyone involved in the production screwing around.
* [[Video Game Movies Suck]]: First film has the dishonor of being the first game series [[Uwe Boll]] got to butcher.
** With a plot involving teenagers going to a rave, in-game footage used as part of the movie, and only a brief cameo of the games' characters at the end, [[Fanon Discontinuity|let's just say that movie never existed]]. Though, it's just bad enough to be great [[Alternate DVD Commentary|riff]] material.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: The second film, despite being slightly better, isn't without its faults. Who keeps something important, like, say, a vital cure sample, on the ''back of their belt? Where it can easily get ripped off?''
** Better one. Why only take one sample in the first place? Especially since the place is going to get bombed soon enough.
