George A. Romero: Encyclopedia II - Resident Evil film - Trivia

Resident Evil film - The Zombies. To make sure that the zombies would move appropriately throughout the film, professional dancers were hired because they had better control over their body-movement than most. The most notable is the axe-wielding, bald scientist. In the famous entrance seen where we see the zombie's dislocated ankle was not in fact a trick. The person could actually dislocate his ankle. While computer-effects were used on some zombies, much of the undead look was largely accomplished through make ...

The game is on two discs (one for each character). ...

George A. Romero: Encyclopedia II - Resident Evil video game - Overview

Unlike subsequent Resident Evil games, the first game had live-action openings and endings. The acting and dialogue in these scenes is often mocked (as the general dialogue in the series is), but some argue that the perceived deficiencies perfectly fit the mood of a B-grade horror movie, and that the actors were surely more entertaining than the CGI that would later permeate the series. The opening footage in the western releases was significantly recut to exclude most of the gore, using alternate footage. Capcom was supposed to include the unadulterated version of the intro in later revis ...
