Plot hole: At the end of Apocalypse the Umbrella corporation bombs raccoon City. It doesn't make any sense that they would do this with the entire Umbrella high command underneath the city, as we learn it is in this movie.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016)
Suggested correction: The Umbrella high command is far underground and safe from the surface bombing. There's no mistake here.
Really? The whole point of the bomb was to destroy any evidence of what happened. That includes the hive.
The point of the bomb was to remove any trace of the virus. Meaning all the inhabitants, dead or alive. Not necessarily the Hive.
Yes but literally the head of company in Dr. Isaac's is located there. It makes no sense that they would bomb Raccoon City because according to Final Chapter they wanted the virus to spread anyway. This film franchise is filled with bad writing, crappy continuity, and plot holes.

Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
Continuity mistake: In the shower scene the shower is turned off but you can still hear it running. Then it switches back on. You can see it off and on during same scene but the sound is always running. (00:50:00)
Suggested correction: There are numerous times that the shower is running. When you can hear water but not see it, you're looking at a different shower pole, or it's because the grey shower pole behind the stream makes it hard to see. Look at the ground and you can see the water's impact.

Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
Corrected entry: Once Alice is in the parking lot of umbrella during the initial fight, she knocked down several men with his powers and destroys several hummers, but they explode from the inside out, not outside-in. (00:09:10)
Correction: First, Alice is a her, not a him. Second, she made the Hummers blow up, what difference does it make how or why they exploded? Her powers are never that specifically defined so this isn't a mistake.

Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
Corrected entry: When Alice finds Claire in Alaska, she is very messy, but once they are on the plane, Claire appears magically made up, with lipstick and straight hair. (00:28:10)
5th Apr 2011
Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
Corrected entry: It is never explained why Bennett is sick at the end of the movie.
Correction: That's not a plot hole unless it contradicts something else in the film. It never explains where Alice was originally born either; doesn't make her appearance in the film a plot hole.
9th Jul 2011
Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
Continuity mistake: When Alice is shining her flashlight into the tunnel, note that the shower column is on the right side of the tunnel entrance. In the shots on the outside of the tunnel, that same column is on the left side of the entrance. (01:04:30)

Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
Revealing mistake: After Bennett takes off, Luther jumps on the edge of the prison. When he hits it, you can see the seemingly solid concrete edge wobble.
1st Jan 2011
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Corrected entry: When the Alice Clone awakes when the movie first starts, she goes into the laser hallway and the lasers start to come. When they transform into the grid, she jumps into a duct in the roof and when the camera shows her shoe, the laser is only a line, not the grid.

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Continuity mistake: When Dr.Isaacs is injecting a zombie with his domestication serum, he changes positions from being beside the zombie, to being on the opposite side of the table. (00:26:10)

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Isaacs is injecting a zombie with his domestication serum, the head restraint on the zombie disappears. (00:26:10)
25th Sep 2007
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Deliberate mistake: During the scene where Carlos and L.J. are searching the motel, L.J. sees a zombie which turns out to be a reflection in a wall-length mirror. L.J. shoots, breaking the mirror and realizing his mistake. But, if he had been standing in front of the mirror as shown, he should have seen his own reflection standing there as well. This was done as an homage to a similar encounter in the original game. (00:24:20)

Resident Evil (2002)
Factual error: When Red Queen is explaining about the T-Virus they say that fingernails and hair continue to grow after death. This is not correct, While it appears that they grow, its actually down to the tissue drying out and retracting. An article on the topic can be found here: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20130526-do-your-nails-grow-after-death A super computer that is knowle. (00:56:40)
Suggested correction: The T-virus causes the hair and nails to keep growing. The nails cause scratches that can increase infection, so it benefits the T-virus.
That is not what was said at all. In the film it states that even in death, the body remains active and that hair and fingernails continue to grow, news cells are produced, and the brain holds a small electrical charge that takes months to dissipate (all of which are false). Then the T-virus provides a massive jolt to growing cells and the brain to reanimate the dead.
She says those things after they ask her what those things are. She then starts to explain how the T-virus works. She doesn't say a dead body always keeps active, she says a dead body infected with the T-virus is still active, regenerating cells, hair and fingernails continue to grow. In short, it reanimates the dead (to a degree). That's how I read it anyway.

Resident Evil (2002)
Corrected entry: Surely in rooms where lethal viruses are handled and stored, even in outer rooms, you wouldn't have a ventilation system connected to the rest of the facility? (00:02:45)
Correction: The entire facility is under the control of the "Red Queen" computer program, who is the one responsible for killing everyone to prevent the infection from leaving. It's very likely she was able to shut down/manipulate the ventilation system to send the air flow to other parts of the Hive.
No, the original submitter is saying that a room handling that kind of stuff wouldn't have a vent full stop. It's actually pointed out when one of the scientists says its a sealed room.
The point is that Spence released the virus outside of that chamber, in a chamber that had vents whilst he was walking towards the exit. It's not specifically seen where he releases it. Even so, a secured chamber can still have a vent system, but one that has special filters and a closed circuit. Probably wouldn't have mattered to the Queen though.
5th Jan 2005
Resident Evil (2002)
Corrected entry: In the passage to the Queen's chamber when the laser is coming towards the woman standing, you can see she is looking towards it. A second later she turns her head towards it again. (00:31:20)
Correction: She is looking at the door where Alice is. She turns her head towards the laser when One yells for everyone to get down.
8th May 2003
Resident Evil (2002)
Corrected entry: After most of the team is killed inside the chamber with the lasers, everyone else leaves, only to return to find the bodies missing. Granted, it's supposed to be creepy, but there really was no one around to take the bodies or the equipment away. The Red Queen isn't physical, the zombies would have left bones or some sort of mess, and the licker would have also left such a mess.
29th May 2014
Resident Evil (2002)
Corrected entry: Near the end right before the end credits we see the streets of Raccoon City completely destroyed, but if you look carefully you can see the background is repeating itself street by street. The best way to notice this is to look at the firetruck right before the end. There is a firetruck, a news van and a bus. Now look to the next street on the other side of the road and the exact same cars appear there. (01:37:05)

Resident Evil (2002)
Audio problem: In one of the scenes right before the solider get killed by the lasers and the alarm is sounding, the commander says to everyone "Hold your positions, everyone stay calm" but his lips aren't moving. (00:31:20)
19th May 2004
Resident Evil (2002)
Corrected entry: In the laser corridor, when the grid of lasers is formed, some of the lasers rotate to form the grid, and are no longer emitted from anything, they are just hanging in the air. (00:33:20)

The Simpsons (1989)
Audio problem: When Patty says "Marry me Patty?" while reading Skinner's message, her mouth doesn't move.

Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk - S3-E11
Continuity mistake: Before Horst wants to talk with Homer, Lenny is standing beside the donut box, who wasn't seen in the shots before and after. (00:12:15)
