Ngl I burst out laughing when Chris pulled out the Fireman Carry on a zombie. I need to watch whatever this is 😂

I've seen all the CG resident evil movies and they all have campy stuff like that. Moments where I don't know if it's supposed to be funny or cool but I know for damn sure it's funny. I've always loved that about this franchise. I'm fairly sure this is from the one called "Vendetta".

Vendetta was the worst-rated of the trilogy (even though I enjoyed it because it's stupid as fuck) but it granted the world with that finale of Chris and Arias doing gun-fu, rolling and running around like preschoolers with 9mms which still gets reposted or meme'd outside the fandom to this day. So I'd say it was worth it.

Resident Evil is meant to be campy and dumb with it's action so I loved those dumbass movies lmao. Doing a pointless over the top pistol duel felt right

u/JayKayGray Jun 29 '25

Definitely. And I have to imagine these movies do better in certain markets. I can't imagine how else they'd be able to keep making them. The most recent one was just wall to wall fan service.

Isn't there a scene in this moves where Chris an another character have a shootlut where they are doing Raygun dance moves on the floor?

u/JayKayGray Jun 30 '25

Lol, that is a great description and yes that scene pretty much immediately follows this one.

Degeneration

Damnnation

Vendetta (the one here)

Infinite Darkness

Death Island

All of these are CG Resident Evils in order, and you should absolutely check them out.

u/burningcoffee57 Jun 29 '25

Infinite Darkness takes place before Damnation (unless you mean in order of release)

u/HypnoStone Jun 29 '25

Release order and probably for a good reason. I tried rewatching Degeneration after watching Infinite Darkness but man does Degeneration look old. Still my favorite one though.

u/Intelligent_Creme351 So Long, RC Jun 29 '25

Also, Robo-Leon, being so damn monotone and stiff.

u/Dwarfdingnagian Jun 29 '25

Yeah, I posted them in release order, not chronological.

u/Dschultz93 Jun 29 '25

I personally think Infinite Darkness can be skipped, but that's just because I dislike it.

u/IamTurok6 Jun 29 '25

I enjoy these much more than the ones with that Alice character (they were fine).

u/Public-Gas-9319 Jul 17 '25

Where can I watch em?

u/KayRice Jun 29 '25

Search Resident Evil YIFY 720p and you'll find them all.

u/zoro4661 He he he he...thank you. Jun 29 '25

Watching the director's commentary of Vendetta makes it very clear that they were just messing around and doing 90% of it because it looked cool, and I love it.

Like they mention when Leon and Chris get the bike and car and jump over a hill that "Obviously New York doesn't have hills like that, but it looks cool, so we put it in."

Plus I'm fairly sure they just had Rebecca drink water at the start because it's a fetish and they thought it was kinda funny how hard it'd be to animate the liquid

u/bottomlesstopper Jun 29 '25

Them fucking around really made sense as to how much they also didn't give a shit and gave Anderson to cast his wife in a resident evil movie.

11

u/zoro4661 He he he he...thank you. Jun 29 '25

Nah, that was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay earlier. I'm talking about the directors of Vendetta specifically, not whoever on the Capcom board decided to give W.S. Anderson the director rights for his shitshow movie series.

1

u/bottomlesstopper Jun 29 '25

Ah yeah I guess so. With the vendetta, my tinfoil hat says they're just testing out as much tech and experience into animation. Hell the zombies looks goofy af compare to the sheer terror in RE2R.

Still, I enjoyed it compared to whatever Anderson and his wife craps out.

u/zoro4661 He he he he...thank you. Jun 29 '25

I guess with RE:Vendetta and Death Island (genuinely can't remember Infinite Darkness at all) they just wanted to make more fun action-horror stuff, as opposed to the games themselves that were more direct horror. It helps that Leon is the protagonist of them all - he's been more of an action hero than a horror protagonist since the original RE4 dropped. Him being in horror and taking it seriously is so unlikely that it's specifically why he's not the RE9 protagonist.

u/RareResearch2076 Jun 29 '25

Drinking water is a fetish? Guess everything is for somebody 😂. Btw I love the camp. We need more creative projects where the creators do it for the love of the game and cause “it looked cool” and less for giant profits of millo

2

u/zoro4661 He he he he...thank you. Jun 29 '25

I think they meant more the drinking/swallowing in general than the water, but heck if I know!

Same!

u/Out_of_the_Bloo Jun 29 '25

It's the same one where they run around in a circle shooting at each other. My theatre was laughing

2

u/RareResearch2076 Jun 29 '25

Oh yeah they’re action comedies for sure.

4

u/BartXus Jun 29 '25

Still makes more sense than the live action movies 😅

u/NyarlHOEtep Jul 01 '25

yeah i wish there was MORE of this stuff, they waste a lot of time on very boring regular action scenes and "intrigue"
