Resident Evil: Degeneration is a CGI film released in 2008 by Capcom as part of the Resident Evil continuity. It should not be confused with the live-action films.The film is set in 2005, seven years after the destruction of Raccoon City, one year after the events of Resident Evil 4, and brings back the main characters of Resident Evil 2. Claire Redfield, after the events of Code: Veronica, has decided she isn't suited for actively combating Umbrella and its bioweapons, instead joining a non-government organization known as "Terra Save", which both opposes bioweaponry and conducts search and rescue of chemical and bioterrorist attacks. She goes to an airport to chaperone a little girl with missing parents when zombies suddenly infest the terminal. With only a few suvivors, the military calls in an expert on these kind of situations to stage a rescue mission: Leon S. Kennedy. Hilarity Ensues. Then not so much.Unlike the live-action Resident Evil movies, this one actually takes place in the continuity of the games.It is followed up by the sequel Resident Evil: Damnation with Leon once again as the protagonist. In terms of the game chronology, it's followed by Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness. | |

| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: Senator Davis cares only for himself, and if surviving means putting the lives of the other members of the group in danger then so be it. To add insult to injury, it works. He survives the zombie outbreak, but not Tricell's cleanup operation. | |

The Worf Effect: The U.S. Marines sent to contain the outbreak at Harvardville airport are shown to be competent against hordes of zombies. Against the G-Virus infected Curtis, who is much faster and stronger than any T-Virus zombie, they're slaughtered easily. | |

C-List Fodder: Subverted. Among the survivors in the airport, there are the senator's male secretary, and a female airport employee. Neither character is given a name and each speaks only a few lines, which would normally be signs of them having "zombie chow" tattooed on their foreheads, but both of them manage to survive the airport outbreak. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: This movie shows that the fallout out from the destruction of Raccoon City and Umbrella's subsequent fall wasn't as easy and carefree as Resident Evil 4 made it out to be. There was immense public backlash that saw a massive loss in trust of the United States government and pharmaceutical companies. The President was forced to resign from office and there's essentially a global war on bioterrorism that doesn't appear to be going very well. | |

It's the Only Way to Be Sure | |
| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_4dcfdb68 | comment |
It's the Only Way to Be Sure: To contain a viral outbreak, consisting of one person infected with the G-Virus and a handful of zombies, an entire research facility self-destructs in the most needlessly elaborate way possible — by dropping, section by section, into an enormously deep shaft and then being incinerated. Considering how ridiculously powerful a G-infected gets, the overkill is understandable here. | |

Zombie Apocalypse | |
| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_60414102 | comment |
Zombie Apocalypse: A surprisingly small one. The airport outbreak is small and easily contained, and while there's one when Claire is escaping the WilPharma facility, the rest of the movie focuses more on Leon and Angela escaping the mutated Curtis. It speaks to either the Monster Threat Expiration of the zombies or Claire's own badassedness that the zombies running around WilPharma are barely an afterthought for her even though she's already visibly injured and heads off on her own. | |

Meaningful Echo: "If you don't try to save one life, you will never save any." As mentioned by Angela, it's a message passed on by her brother Curtis.

| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_6eb4e408 | comment |
Artistic License – Military: While most of the weapons used onscreen are accurately portrayed and rendered, the U.S. Marines deployed to counter the outbreak, and later to neutralize Curtis Miller, are wearing U.S. Army ACU (Adaptive Combat Uniform) fatigues and equipment, as noted by the IMFDB. It should be noted that in the Japanese version, the responders are referred to as actually being U.S. Army Rangers. The various game world guidebooks have explained this detail. | |

| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_82108e3d | comment |
Attack Its Weak Point: Leon and Claire always aim for the head when facing the zombies and specifically instruct the others to do the same, as the head is the only vulnerable spot. While torso shots will bring a zombie down eventually, it's a waste of ammo when compared to an instant-kill headshot. | |

A-Team Firing | |
| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_964ea66c | comment |
A-Team Firing: Greg. In a mild variation, he has a fairly high hit rate. He even holds the barrel shroud in an overhand grip to reduce climb. It should be noted, though, that he keeps doing this even after Leon tells him to aim for the head. Twice. It's at least justified in context. The SRT isn't trained for dealing with T-Virus outbreaks, and years of training for center of mass shots and muscle memory simply can't be overcome in a few minutes. Even after coming face to face with the fact that the hostiles aren't still alive Greg and Angela still have trouble coming to terms with it. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: At one point, Claire uses an umbrella as a weapon. Though she never opens it, it's clearly patterned after the Umbrella logo. She even lampshades it. Also, she is reunited with Leon after he rescues her in the exact same manner that he did in Resident Evil 2. Thanks to the retcon established in the remake of Resident Evil 2, when Claire is told of the G-Virus, she flashes back when she encountered G-Birkin's first form holding a lead pipe. In the remake, this encounter does happen after she finds Sherry panicking and warns her of G-Birkin behind her. Leon's outfit is pretty much what he wears throughout 4. He even loses the jacket towards the end. | |

| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_ab68c5cc | comment |
Chronic Hero Syndrome: Angela is a deconstruction of this, as she places her teammates in danger several times by blindly running off to do something heroic, most notably when she runs off to investigate what Leon warns her is the sound of zombies, thinking it might be an injured human being. Even after almost getting her throat chewed out, she still doesn't shoot to kill until she's forced to accept that the infected are too far gone to be saved or reasoned with. She even notes she accidentally got some of her teammates injured in a foolhardy attempt to save someone from a river before the events of the movie. | |

Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain | |
| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_b1bf5c9b | comment |
Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain: Leon warns the S.R.T. members Greg and Angela accompanying him to the hot zone to shoot the infected in the head, and he had to say it twice. They never listen, and it gets Greg bitten by a zombie, forcing him to stay behind. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Angela and Greg both make rookie mistakes common to the "police/military official meets zombie" scenario, despite the presence and warning of Leon. And unlike every other scenario where this happens, zombies are not some previously unseen phenomenon; their existence has been common knowledge for years by the time the movie takes place. While they weren't sure it was a T-Virus to begin with, and knowledge about what really happened in Raccoon City is a little shakey at best, they still had Leon with them, and he gave them the lowdown on what to expect. While Angela simply settles with telling a zombie to stop and then kneecapping it when it doesn't listen, Greg decides to be a gung-ho dumbass, entering the room and spraying everything in sight like the idiot he is. He's even surprised when one of the zombies, absolutely unaffected by his tactics, jumps at him and nearly takes a chunk out of him. The television reporter at the zombie-infested airport when her cameraman looks past her and runs off. The obvious implication here being that extreme danger is heading their way, but her reaction to this is a confused "Why'd you stop filming?!" Cue a hungry zombie showing up behind her. Some of the Marines can be considered this, due to their battle plan against G-Curtis consisting of "shoot him" and "shoot him some more," even though he's obviously shrugging all the bullets off. By the time they consider switching over to their grenade attachments he's already cutting through them. Averted with two of the civilians at the airport, namely Senator Davis's secretary and the airport's VIP lounge hostess. They are civilians with no weapons and no kind of training whatsoever, but they survive the airport outbreak unscathed, mostly because they pretty much followed every instruction to the letter, sticking close to the group and avoiding zombies. | |

Self-Destruct Mechanism | |
| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_c69ae9b2 | comment |
Self-Destruct Mechanism: The finale gives us the mind-boggling containment system in the WilPharma facility, which includes: spraying everything with flammable liquid, detaching contaminated sections, dropping them in a 3000 foot shaft (in sequence no less), incinerating them in a giant fireball (twice), and sealing them behind a steel covering thick enough to withstand a nuclear blast. How the hell did they have any funds left for medical research? In all fairness, Umbrella's shown how piss-poor containment protocols hold up against zombie monsters, so overkill might be a bit justified. WilPharma may actually be the most efficient corporation in the history of the franchise when it comes to keeping things from biting them in the ass. | |

Not a Zombie | |
| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_ce25f739 | comment |
Not a Zombie: The police chief threatens to arrest the first zombie to appear, allowing it to get into range before it latches onto his throat. Somewhat justified, as he had just arrested a Terra Save protester in a zombie costume and thus had reason to believe it was another idiot. Senator Davis' bodyguard continues to treat it as if it's a human, even after Claire warns him, and is eaten for it. Despite having just been told about the zombies, and being warned by Leon that the moan she's just heard is a classic sound of the zombies, Angela runs off and, finding an apparently injured man on the ground, hoists him over her shoulders; only Leon's intervention saves her from getting her face bitten off. Even then, she still warns a zombie to back away, then aims downwards and shoots her in the leg, to no practical effect. Greg avoids the "deliberately shoot non-vital areas" and "try to order the zombie back" flaws, but wastes his ammo on a "spray and pray" fighting style, which ends up inflicting minimal casualties and almost gets him killed when one of the zombies he had shot up breaks through a window and grapples him to the ground. | |

The Load | |
| Resident Evil: Degeneration / int_e68b72 | comment |
The Load: Senator Davis is easily one of the most blatant examples in the entire franchise. He has to be physically carried by others during the escape from the airport, slowing the group down. Made worse when, as soon as he sees a chance, and nearly getting Rani killed in the process, he makes it outside all by himself just fine. | |

Then it's subverted when it's revealed that WilPharma were actually working on a vaccine to cure the virus. Then it's double subverted when it turns out he was lying and was responsible for the virus outbreak after all. | |
