The first Underworld actually owned a lot.


I just watched Hitsmas finally and Jeff's "Have you guys ever played this before?" line was real good. Vinny is the most entertaining, followed by Jeff who seems to at least understand mechanics and UI elements even though he is not as familiar with the gameplay and map.

The last time I was in a movie theater they played the trailers for Underworld and Resident Evil back-to-back and I had the same exact reaction as the Beastcast did, I had no idea those were still things

Now dig on this: Every Resident Evil movie has been more successful and made more money than the previous one. They are INSANELY popular.

E: The 5th one actually broke that trend, it would appear. But still made $240 million, making it the second highest grossing of them after the 4th one. When the fifth one hits the series as a whole will have undoubtedly made over a billion dollars.

Underworld (the first one. I haven't seen the others) sucked so bad. You make a movie about vampires fighting werewolves and then every action scene is just them shooting at each other with handguns. Also, why does the lycan dude have foldable steel claws hidden in his sleeves? He's a gosh darned werewolf.

They get better on this front. For instance, did I mention that in the fourth one a little girl eats a werewolf's face?

All I know about Resident Evil is that the first game is zombies in a house and the second game is zombies in a city. When I see movie trailers for something that looks like Mad Max with CG army battles, I am actually curious how they got from point A to point B

At some point they stopped trying to follow the game's story and just became the director's fanfics about his wife (more so than before).

They never really followed the game's story. The first one was about a secret lab under a house but it wasn't like the game at all. The second one was the closest and actually had characters from the games but they went way off the rails by the third film. Like, when the third starts, you're like when the poo poo did the world get covered in sand? What is going on?

I don't think there's ever zombies in the house in the first movie, they go into the secret lab pretty much right away and most of the movie is set down there. Like I said only the second one is like the games, it's always been an excuse for Milla Jovovich to be a badass on camera.

Edit: I think the games were only up to CODE: Veronica when the first two movies were out? So after doing the second film which was RE2 and 3 combined they didn't have a huge amount of source material to work with so just decided to make Mad Max movies instead.

Nah they're just in Arizona and Nevada in the third one. It also has Claire Redfield in it. Then the fourth had Chris. And the fifth brought back Jill in RE5 form, and also introduced Leon, Ada, and Barry.

I feel like Paul WS Anderson has played and likes the games, but also would rather do his own thing with the movies. Side note, he didn't direct 2 or 3.

The third movie also ended with Alice gaining psychic powers and a clone army, both of which were immediately disposed of at the beginning of the next one.

She got the powers back at the end of five, though! Wesker did the exact same "move really back and inject her in the neck" thing to do it, too. Also she had the psychic powers all the way through 3, she got them at the end of 2.

I do like their Re:view show since its more of a chill show talking about good movies that I might not have heard about before like True Stories.
