In the scene where we first see Carlos, after killing all the zombies, he begins talking to the girl while four UBCS troopers follow Carlos after the chopper lands. Later, during the shootout scene (UBCS and Cops) there is only Carlos, Nicolai, and Yuri. Where did the other two go? [Nicolai, Yuri, and Carlos were fighting with the zombies that were coming up through the alley. the main group (UBCS and Cops) were fighting a large group of zombies in the street. The focus, for the most part, was on the fight in the alley. Is it not possible that the other two were fighting with the main group?]

Shortly after the squad arrives at the school to look for the doctor's daughter, Jill Valentine says to LJ, "You take the first floor." Then she looks at Terri (the newscaster), hands her a pistol and says, "You take the second floor. I'll take the basement." Next there's a cut to a stairwell indicating that Jill will be going downward to get to the basement. A moment later, the newscaster is shown descending three flights of stairs when she should have been going up two flights to get from the main floor to the second floor. [We don't know how much time has passed since they started searching the school. It could be that, after some time passes, Terri has finished her search of the 2nd floor, didn't find anything, and is now trying to find Jill and L.J.]

During the opening sequence of the movie you get to see an overhead view of the Raccoon City. Yet you can also see the CIBC headquarters, which is in Toronto. [Raccoon City is fictional, it's not specified where it is set, the movie takes place in the future, who's to say if Toronto wasn't renamed by Umbrella Corp when they took over most of the businesses.]

The cover-up story for Raccoon City is inaccurate in it's claims that a nuclear explosion from their nuclear power plant is what destroyed the city, similar to Chernobyl. The uranium fuel used in nuclear power plants is not weapons grade uranium and cannot support a nuclear explosion. [It was a news anchor who said it. They probably meant a meltdown, but just said blast.]

In the scene where the group arrives at the junior high school, the black van parked outside does more than change the logo (as noted in another submission); it's a different van. First it is a panel-type utility van with a large shield emblem and the initials RPD (assuming the "D" is behind the open door) where a window would be; after the close-up of the broken-open dog cages, it's a window-van, with a small shield and "Raccoon Police Department K-9 Unit" below the window. [It's the same van. The window and logo you are referring to are both on the passenger side door. When we see the van at first we see it from the back right corner and all the doors are open (so we see the cages in the back and the logo on the side of the van). Then the camera moves in front of the van and we see the open side panel door and we can see the cages from this angle as well (you can see the panel door's handle on the left side of the frame) and the passenger side door is taking up about half the frame.]

In the end of the first movie, the left side of Alice's head is shaved. In this movie, which is supposed to take place maybe a few months after the first movie at most, her hair is back to normal. Hair, a non-living excretion of protein, doesn't grow that fast and the virus would have no way to cause it to regenerate faster. [There was only a small patch of her hair that was shaved and the reason you don't see it during the film a lot is because Alice's hair hanging over it the shaved gap. When she turns her head and her hair shifts you can see that the patch is still there.]

When Jill first enters the RPD and kills the zombies, she only has the leg holster. She then begins to talk to a S.T.A.R.S. member. The scene cuts to L.J., then cuts back to her. She is now wearing the shoulder holster. [When Jill stops at the desk she starts getting ammo and various other items like she is getting ready to head out into the city, is it not possible that she simply put the piece of equipment on during the scene when the focus went to LJ?]

When the bullet count reaches 0000 on Nemesis' gun, he drops it. However, while it is being dropped you can see that there is actually still a short chain of ammo waiting to be fired. [That's not a chain of ammo, it's more like a flexible magazine that the ammo is fed thru. Even though the bullets are all gone, the magazine is still there.]

In the game series, the STARS team originally discovered Umbrella was behind the virus outbreak, and so Nemesis was sent to kill them. However, in context to the films, STARS have not done anything wrong, and so there is absolute no reason why Nemesis is murdering them. [Killing the highly trained S.T.A.R.S. members was an excellent way of testing the effectiveness of Nemesis and since they were inside the quarantine area that Umbrella was going to nuke anyway, they were an obvious choice no matter what they might have known.]

In numerous scenes Carlos is seen holding a Desert Eagle. The DE is chambered in .357, .44, .50 caliber rounds. When he shoots a zombie it just gets a hole in its head and falls over instead of making giant caves in the zombie's face regardless of its caliber. [The caliber of the round won't cause more than a hole the size of the round where the round enters. Only the exit wound would be larger, and the camera is facing the front entry wounds.]

When Nemesis kills the STARS members in the theater, why doesn't the roof cave in when Nemesis blows it up? With the large frame holding up the theater sign, it would be almost impossible for the roof not to fall in. [The rocket doesn't blow up the roof, it blows up the sign. The explosive force escapes upward rather than exerting itself downward - path of least resistance.]

When the Nemesis first acquires the S.T.A.R.S soldiers in their base camp, he is able to instantaneously count them in a single glance. The problem is that some of them weren't directly in his line of sight. Even if he had equipment to scan through walls, he then should have been able to acquire the rooftop sniper. [He has equipment to scan through walls, possibly infrared. He doesn't see the sniper because he's looking forward and level when he does the target scan, not up. If he had done the target scan from farther back the sniper would have been in his field of vision and he would have seen it, but the scan occurs at a single time and not continuously.]

Towards the beginning, a massive crowd of zombies chase a blonde girl up the stairway of a building and all of them end up on the roof. She is saved by the cops in the helicopter, who shoot many of the zombies. But, when the scene is over, there are only about 20 dead zombies on the roof. Where did the rest of them go? They didn't retreat back down the stairs nor did they jump off the building. [I paused the movie at every point showing the zombies and never counted more than 12 chasing her. That's more than enough people to choke a stairwell.]

In the scene where the group first comes to the school, there is a shot of a van with cages. Its side reads "Raccoon City Police Unit" however, in the closeup, it now reads "Raccoon City Police K-9 Unit." [In the first shot of the van we see it at a back corner angle and it pans from the side to the back and the side of the van reads R.P.D. When the camera goes to the front of the van it's clear that we are now looking at the outside part of the passenger side door which wasn't visible in the intial shot (only the inside of the door was seen). The outside of the door reads Raccoon City Police K-9 Unit. It's two different logos on the van.]

During the several scenes where Dr. Ashford is watching the group on CCTV, the monitor changes from saying "Raccoon City Junior High School" to "Raccoon City Junior School." [When the school is shown at the beginning of the movie the description given for the location is "Raccoon City Junior School", when Ashord is looking for his daughter on his computer at around 17 minutes into the movie the computer display gives the same description, and 48 minutes into the film another shot of Ashford looking at the computer is shown and same same description is given again.]

After Jill Valentine has killed the zombies in the police station, she talks to a S.T.A.R.S. member and loads a clip into her gun. She talks to the S.T.A.R.S. guy some more and then puts a clip in her gun again to shoot the zombie grabbing at L.J. She didn't fire or eject the first clip. [She reloads twice because she has two guns. She has one in her hand and one in her hip holster. The one she used to shoot the zombies in the beginning of the scene was the one she reloaded first and switched guns to reload the other one which was probably empty to being with.]

Pay attention to the actions of the cowboy sniper on the roof. He shoots a zombie, reloads, shoots the zombie again and reloads. Before he saves LJ he reloads again. Why did he reload when he had a round ready to be fired? [The sniper shoots, reloads, and shoots again for the kill. Then he empties the chamber (we hear the shell being ejected) and takes a swig of beer, but doesn't reload (no targets). Therefore the chamber is empty when he reloads to save LJ.]

They are all walking through the cemetery and then the corpses come alive, out of the ground, and attack them. Only how did the corpses get infected? If they had been bitten when alive, there is hardly time to arrange a funeral, have a service, and bury them before they start attacking. If on the other hand they were infected from an airborne virus then the first scenes of shutting the city gates is not going to work - viruses have a habit of not stopping at locked gates. Or perhaps the undead had gone around biting the already dead? Except that would mean that they had to bury them afterwards, which is unlikely. And as one corpse was seen with worms coming out of the eye sockets, it would suggest a) dead a long time and b) a bullet in the head would just kill a worm. [According to the video game Resident Evil 3: Nemesis a group of worms are infected by the T-Virus and carries the virus over to the dead corpses, the same thing may have happened here.]

In the scene near the beginning when Alice takes the shotgun from the car, she reloads it. It had not been used and there would have been no need to reload it; the only reason is for it to look more dramatic. [There was no cartrige in the chamber (i.e the shotgun wasn't loaded). It would be quite unwise for a police car to have a loaded shotgun in the front. The shotgun could easily go off accidently causing serious harm to the front seat occupants. The shotgun cartridges are stored in the magazine or cartridge tube and the shotgun needs to be "reloaded" in order to fire.]

At the end of the movie when the truth is revealed, a male TV announcer refers to the 1986 explosion in Chernobyl as Russian Chernobyl. First of all, Chernobyl is in Ukraine, not Russia. Second, back in 1986 Russia and Ukraine were part of the Soviet Union. [While this may well be a mistake by the script writers, it is no different to some of the real errors that reporters make: Calling Nelson Mandela African-American for a start.]
