Resident Evil: Apocalypse/notes


 * The film's director Alexander Witt has a cameo in the film as the sniper on top of Raccoon City Hall killed by Milla Jovovich.
 * Ben Moody, former lead guitarist of the alternative rock band Evanescence, makes a brief cameo appearance as a zombie in the film, which is mentioned in the DVD audio commentary.
 * The word "zombie" is never mentioned, following the example of the first movie.
 * Dr. Charles Ashford and his daughter Angela share the same last names as the Ashfords, one of the families who were revealed as having founded Umbrella and the last two scions of which were the primary antagonists in Resident Evil Code: Veronica.
 * The S.T.A.R.S team that was killed in the theatre by Nemesis (Matt) is said to be of the director's family, also the theatre is called Westwood Theatre; it was also filmed inside the real Westwood Theatre in Canada.
 * The way Raccoon City was destroyed is similar to the way Louisville, Kentucky is destroyed in Return of the Living Dead.
 * In Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, there is a poster in the alley behind Jack's Bar saying, "Umbrella announces a new miracle drug! It will make you look and feel 10 years younger!" This is very similar to the Regenerate drug.
 * It should be noted that if Major Cain had spared the life of Angela's father, he would have had the single bullet to kill him self. He shot Mr. Ashford once, and into the crowd of Zombies seven times, with the magazine containing only 8 rounds.
 * At the beginning of the film, there is a continuity error. As Jill Valentine is being introduced, she enters the police station not wearing her black shoulder holster. After a couple of brief scenes without it where she kills a number of zombies, the next shot shows her wearing the holster. Also, while speaking to the police chief, she put's a magazine in her gun, followed by a cut, when it cuts back to her, she puts a second magazine into her gun.
 * The battle of the Raccoon City Police Department, S.T.A.R.S., and U.B.C.S. at the beginning of the film is quite similar to the intro of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and the "cleaning" operation lead by officers Harry, Elliott, and Eric in Resident Evil Outbreak.
 * In one scene Alice is seen running along the inside of a building while a helicopter is shooting at her then she runs into three guards and drops her gun then dropping down and grabbing it and then shoots them. This exact scene in almost exactly like the intro for Resident Evil Code: Veronica.
