== Another one? ==

I still can't believe they are making another RE movie. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]]
::Just don't take it seriously.
:::Unfortunately Excalibur, I'm with the others on this one. Just don't watch it and stop complaining about it ;) LOL [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:03, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

::::I can't wait for this movie. :) [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 07:11, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
::::I agree with spartan, the movie looks awsome

:::::I for one LOVE these movies. When I heard there is another one I was like "YES, please! Gimme gimme gimme." [[User:Potentpoefie|Potentpoefie]] 22:04, 11 April 2010

The only problem I have with the franchise is that the endings are confusing to me. Maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention, but the end of the 2nd film lost me; when they run from the helicopter crash yet return in Umbrella Gear and pick Alice up. Can anyone explain? Anyway, I am looking forward to this film. LASTMANSTANDING
*I wonder why they are still making more of these despite those negative reviews and ratings. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 13:43, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Becasue they are still making a handsome profit at the boxoffice and video rentals. Who cares about the critics? --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 17:42, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Is it me or are some elements from this based on Akira, Example: Alice has telekentic powers, it's in some far east country, Lots of Soldiers attack yet are killed, Wesker has a Desert Eagle-[[User:Big guns 100|Big guns 100]]

I will never understand why people continue to enjoy these films.--[[User:Jackie.45Cal|Jackie.45Cal]] 14:40, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
::Maybe because they like them. Doh! [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]

==Macedonian Shooting==
it is just me or dose it look like Wesker is using the Russian shooting style called Macedonian Shooting?
:just you

:It's just dual wielding or Akimbo. There's nothing tactical about it. And if only the Russians invent a style for double guns, then it shows you how good it is if the Russians are using it [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 23:28, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

:"Macedonian shooting"? [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 07:00, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

:A simple google search of Macedonian Shooting turns up that it was supposedly utilized by NKVD officers who were equipped with two double action revolvers, and was more a method of forcing an enemy to cover than trying to accurately land shots on target. Also Ed McGivern talked about dual wielding in his Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting Book, something about teaching some techniques for it to Law Enforcement Officers of the 1920's or some such, so let's cut the nationalistic horseshit. This isn't the Cold War, you don't gotta kill a Commie for Mommy or whatever. Grow up. --[[User:Toadvine|Toadvine]] 10:53, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
::No you should grow up Toadvine. Don't know where THAT tirade came from. But the Russians currently do a lot of things which western weapons and fighting disciplines look askance at. The 'spider/hand' style of patrolling, the acrobatic Spetznas training, etc. Face it. The Russians do weird things. Or things that seem weird to us. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 18:37, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
:::Okay, seriously, does anyone actually know if the Spetznaz are trained to do the whole 'Backflipping off a springboard while throwing a tomahawk' shit? Because I've never been sure if that was fact or fiction. [[User:Acora|Acora]] 04:28, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

acora, I don’t think they train to actually use some of their techniques as an actual combat method I think they use them purely to develop the sense in their troops that they are superior to normal soldiers because they can do such cool looking stuff. also I think there’s a fairly cunning amount of psyops going on. "don’t screw with spetznas they are like crazy ninjas" wouldn’t necessarily effect well disciplined troops but it should put the fear of god into the average grunt from around the world. they certainly do have some crazy demostration stuff that they do for open days and base shows. Fenris357 1255hrs 26 july 2010

Well just because they do something weird, doesn't mean that it's weird, it might be weird to us but to them its perfectly normal. I'm sure to them some of our training is weird to them. But imagine if the U.S. and Russia made an elite fighting force, no one would fuck with them. [[User:DRC92|DRC92]]

I can't wait for it i loved the first 3

has anyone noticed that Alice's double barreled shotguns have black grips of the first photo?
:Rubber. I think she's gonna smack someone with it or just drop them.

Alice seems to always dual wield every weapon she has. The shotguns and 629's in this film, P-14's and kukris in Extinction, batons, MP5K's and P-14's in Apocalypse. Next thing she probably carries dual M4's, or even M60's. --[[User:AlkoTanko|AlkoTanko]] 13:08, 8 April 2010 (UTC) She was using P-18's in Extinction.
::It looks more badass + bigger firepower. And in first part she packed single beretta if i remember rite.

i thought there was something different with them rubber it is then

nice

==Samurai Edge==
I hope we get to see Weskers custom Beretta.

Seems he is wielding dual Desert Eagles. So tell me as somebody that has not have the movies ruine the game (since i've never played them), what does Weskers custom Beretta look like? Anybody got any pics [[User:Potentpoefie|Potentpoefie]] 21:56, 11 April 2010

Just look at the RE5 page.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 22:35, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

After googling it I have to ask: "Am I missing something?". It's just a Beretta 92 with a full dust cover with a rail. [[User:Potentpoefie|Potentpoefie]] 07:45 13 April 2010 (GMT)

:You definitely are missing something. It has a bevertail tang (something that no production 92F has), a tactical rail, extended magazine catch, skeletal hammer, plus the multitude of features found on the other Samurai Edge customs (extended slide-stop, custom multi-layered grips, brigadier slide).--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 18:53, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

:: Fair enough but nothing I cannot do with my Beretta 92 except for the bevertail. I haven't seen that option to buy somewhere. But I did miss something cause the images I got definately didn't show all of those features. Thanks for the info. :) Does somebody have an image to stick here. :) :) [[User:Potentpoefie|Potentpoefie]] 11:38, 16 April 2010 (GMT)

:::Like I said, a 92F beavertail was never put into production, so that means that such a frame would have to be custom crafted. Plus all of the other features together would be well over $1,000 for someone to replicate. And there's no reason to put an image of it here; just go to the RE5 page on this site. All of the customizations can be easily seen there.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 16:05, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I prefer the standard model. Don't really need all that, when it's already a pretty damn nice-looking gun. [[User:Anti-Umbrella Activist|Anti-Umbrella Activist]]

== Sunglasses reflection ==

Actually is is very much Ali's Claire Redfield. Try reading some of the set reports for the movie because IMDB isn't going to tell you anything except for who is playing who.

You know your absolutely right...IMDB is never wrong...EVER. Lets just forget the fact that they had Kacey listed as Jill Valentine for over a month.

Look at Kacey's upwards turned nose and very full lipped mouth.

I don't see anyone commenting on my proof that is is Claire that I posted below. Everyone decide to shut up now that you've been proven wrong?

:That's not a terribly mature response. And start signing your posts.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 21:38, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

and if you noticed under i did comment that you were right "NICELY DONE" but you remained a dick, i agree entirely with pistol junkie you are immature you are most probably oblivious of that fact.--[[User:moviemaster1993|moviemaster1993]]

:You're not helping things by responding like that, either.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 18:55, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

:If that's your belief, you may want to review the site's [[Rules, Standards and Principles]], specifically Principles.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 09:19, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

...no

anyway you are argueing too if you haven't noticed so you look at the rules too before you start telling others to stop what your doing --[[User:moviemaster1993]]

:I'm not referring to arguing or debating. I'm referring to hostile, profane insults towards other users. It would seem you did not bother to read the page that I linked to.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 12:31, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

calling somebody immature is still an insult nonetheless. the rules apply to everyone even you. [[user:moviemaster1993|moviemaster1993]]

:::Well [[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]]. Looks like you got the last laugh. [[user:moviemaster1993|moviemaster1993]] was banned for being a dick and a mega douche. :) Just commenting that's all. :D [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 18:39, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

== Wesker vs Chris, Claire and Alice ==

It's called research people. Read it and weep fools.

http://scifiwire.com/2010/04/resident-evil-afterlife-n.php

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/19697

Oh and here is a side by side picture of the girl in the lens and Kacey. You'd have to be a complete moron to think they even look the same.

http://img173.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=50647_Untitled_3_122_73lo.jpg

Well would you look at this. Seems like Ali Larter herself did an interview for the fine folks over at ShockTillYouDrop.com and wouldn't you know it...she talks about the fight scene.

"Shock: You know that big fight scene coming up next week with Wentworth and Shawn [Roberts]. Have you been practicing? What's it been like?

Larter: We did. We did some stunt rehearsal for that which is great. I think that a lot of the fan boys are going to be thrilled because it is beat by beat from the videogame. It is drawn directly from it and I think with this movie, one of the most exciting things is that this is the most like the videogame. I mean, I'm dressed in the outfit that Claire wears. You see me and Chris in this fight sequence, it's really beat for beat."

nicely done

::the movies have already ruined the back story of RE, now they got stuff from RE 5, so yeah, circle complete. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 23:29, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

:::I don't see how the movies could have ruined the game plot considering both are entirely separate universes. That's like saying Prince of Persia (2008) ruined the plot of the Sands of Time Trilogy even though it had nothing to do with the Sands of Time plot. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 01:13, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

:Look, when you make a movie based on something, you expect it to at least respect the source material. The RE movies were only too busy doing cameo moments to the games. Nothing about the story makes sense compared the source it's based on. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:35, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

::Tell that to Uwe Boll --[[User:Gunkatas|Gunkatas]] 05:01, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

::That's just it, these movies are '''based on''' the games, not '''identical to''' them. I don't get why people want video game movies to be word-for-word, scene-for-scene translations of the games themselves. I want to see something I haven't already seen, as I imagine a lot of other people do. I don't want to know what happened or who's going to live and die before the movie even starts filming. Or does playing the games mean I'm somehow not entitled to an original plotline? [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 06:59, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

:::It's not that people want an exact replica of the games. We just want something decent. It's hard to make a movie based on a video game, much like making a movie based on a book. The Lord of the Rings series cut out HUGE chunks of the books. It's understandable. How are you going to collapse 600 pages of text into a two hour movie? It's the same with video games. Condensing 6-8 hours of gameplay into 1.5-2 hours of a movie is hard. I think people would mind it less if it was canon, instead of "it's another universe so we can do whatever the hell we want." Degeneration was canon. This is probably the reason that the game fans don't like the movie.--[[User:Gunkatas|Gunkatas]] 15:43, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

::::I found the Anderson movies to be just that, ''decent''. They weren't perfect, but they sure as hell "respect the source material" a lot more than even ''Capcom'' does these days. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 04:41, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

:You seriously believe that Anderson is respecting the source material of Resident Evil better than Capcom? I mean the first 2 movies are ok, but once he started to do the end of the world, Road Warrior look in the 3rd movie. Then with clones of Alice and now he's just ripping off character concepts from RE5... [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 14:22, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

They might as well be. They wasted over six years' worth of material in ten seconds with RE4 (seriously, what the hell), and ended the entire series' plot arcs in two (with RE5).

I liked Romero's script a hell of a lot better, even if it does go off the rails a little; at least it's still ON them.

The problem I have with the movies (even Degeneration) is that they pull all of these BS "character development"; it's PLOT development. The characters aren't even character in their own right anymore, they're just mouths to say cute little quips and trigger fingers to shoot guns with.

[[User:Anti-Umbrella Activist|Anti-Umbrella Activist]]

==Shotguns==

I can clearly see from the stills alice has the revolvers under her arms anf the dual sawn offs on her back. So why does it say she holsters them under her arms. Look at the pics! --[[User:Captain Snikt|Captain Snikt]] 00:45, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

it looks like the sholder holsters are connected to the shotgun holsters

the revolvers are in the front ones
and the shotguns are in the back one LOLipops

Did you notice that Alice loaded her shotgun shell with quarters, that was pretty awesome, if it's even possible-[[User:Big guns 100|Big guns 100]]

==Alice==

Alice is really packing some heavy hardware in this movie.--[[User:humanzie3|humanzie3]] 24 May 2010 (UTC)

She is, but why did she switch from her high capacity 45's and pump action shotgun from ''Extinction'' to 5-shot revolvers and double barrel shotguns? I know the heavy revolver rounds were great against the mutated undead, and that the coin-loaded shotgun shells might not have worked as well in a pump action, and I can understand how she might have lost them sometime between the assault on the Umbrella facility and her flight to Arcadia, but still, it seems like a step back considering the endless hordes of the undead that she faces.--[[User:Calgunkid|Calgunkid]]

I agree with the above person. What happened to her 45s?--[[User:SAMBAMA|SAMBAMA]] 17:39, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

"Rule of cool". Same reason so many movie characters carry Desert Eagles instead of a much more logical combat pistol like a SIG. In other words, no storyline reason at all. [[User:DKS01|DKS01]] 05:42, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

== Akimbo ripoffs ==

Ever since Modern Warfare 2 came out, I think the makers of this movie are playing on the akimbo feature. I mean: akimbo twin-barrels, akimbo revolvers, what more is there? Anybody agree, or see anything?

Hasn't she dual wielded almost everything she's fired since the second movie? --[[User:Crazycrankle|Crazycrankle]] 04:00, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

I agree she dual wielded her MP5Ks and her Para-Ordnance P-14s. And in the third film she dual wielded her Para Ordinance PXT LDA Light Rails. [[User:AceV|AceV]]

Not everything is an MW2 ripoff. Even if that's where you got all your gun knowledge from. And sign your posts. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 06:40, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

i would like to add something. I know my guns but i do like how mw2 teaches people about them.

[[user:moviemaster1993|moviemaster1993]]

Except Modern Warfare 2 is WRONG. About TONS of stuff.-protoAuthor 00:10, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

i was only trying to make the arguement equal for you to stop argueing with people
take the fucking winchester out your ass and stop causing trouble. [[user:moviemaster1993|moviemaster1993]]

Shooting guns akimbo has always been in media. I mean, watch any good cowboy movie or John Woo movie. John Woo's movie has perfected the art of double guns in movies [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 03:56, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

I agree Excalibur01 chow yun fat in a john woo movie perfect akimbo lol
[[user:moviemaster1993|moviemaster1993]]

Shooting guns akimbo is about as old as guns themselves are. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 05:00, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Gotta love how people saying akimbo guns must be based on Modern Warfare, despite the fact that people wielding guns akimbo has been around in movies and television since the 1930's. Hell, I recently saw a Western themed episode of the THREE STOOGES where their cowboy friend pulls 2 pistols at once. Seriously people, just cause MW has something doesn't mean everything else that has that same thing is based on it, ESPECIALLY when said thing has been around much longer than MW. I'll also note MW wasn't the first game to feature it either, Rise of the Triad had it, Blood had it...and these are games that are too old to even run on my current PC. [[User:DKS01|DKS01]] 13:10, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Those other games aren't as mainstream thats why. The newer Goldeneye you could dual wield most guns. Most of these people don't understand that MW2 got dual wielding for somewhere else. Unless IW has a timemachine and went back in time and influenced others like John Woo about dual wielding.--[[User:FIVETWOSEVEN|FIVETWOSEVEN]] 17:01, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
:Certainly not as mainstream as Halo 2... (note: that was sarcasm) or its ancestor, Marathon, which along with Rise of the Triad were the first game to feature akimbo guns. (They have the same release date.) Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K.² featured the option to wield two non-matching guns at once. Of course, Marathon came out in 1994 - A Better Tomorrow and its iconic portrayal of Chow Yun Fat wielding pistols akimbo in a John Woo movie came out 1986, which would only be around 23 years before Modern Warfare came out. There have been probably '''hundreds''' of video games and movies where a character is depicted as using two firearms at once. From my desk, if I look at my video game collection, I can see ten or fifteen from here. Never mind if I turn and look at my movie shelves. But Google "dual wielding in video games" and most of the hits will be about Modern Warfare 2. Why? Because if the hype about dual-wielding in MW2 is any indication, video gamers have a memory lasting no more than 3 years. [[User:Atypicaloracle|Atypicaloracle]] 13:22, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Well gamers who are under 15 years old, which are most of the players. Us "older" guys remember way back then [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 05:33, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

First game I remember dual wielding is Goldeneye for the PS2, a few years before even Call of duty 3.--[[User:FIVETWOSEVEN|FIVETWOSEVEN]] 22:41, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
:Heh, first one I remember is Rise of the Triad, back in '95. You could dual wield pistols, which had unlimited ammo to boot. Absurd, but fun. [[User:DKS01|DKS01]] 20:36, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

:First game I remember dual wielding in is [[Dino Crisis 2]], with Regina and her two MP5KNs. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 16:27, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

:Original Timesplitters for me. DOUBLE MINIGUNS!!!1 [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 11:13, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

::My question is ow long has it been called akimbo? Absolutely evey single time I've ever seen two guns being used by one person at the same time I've always refered to it or heard it refered to as either dual-wielding or simply "shooting two guns", up until MW2 started calling it Akimbo. I thought it was just trying to be original or artsy or whatever, as its actual definition has absolutely nothing to do with holding two guns or even holding anything, but people on here are calling it Akimbo too, so have I just happened to have never heard it called that before or has MW2 corrupted this place too?

::For any thirteen-year-old COD fanboys who might think that the term "Guns Akimbo" comes exclusively from Modern Warfare 2, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_wield#Etymology please learn how to use the internet.]--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 21:49, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

The first Left 4 Dead if you went through a Campaign using just two pistols you complete the achievement, Akimbo Assassin.--[[User:FIVETWOSEVEN|FIVETWOSEVEN]] 01:06, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
And look the guy who claims to know guns tells him to get the Winchester out of a guy's ass in MW2 there's the Winchester Model 1887. Akimbo would be having 2 uneven guns at once any way like an assault rifle and a pistol. Not 2 of the same gun that's dual wielding.

Following the success of Action Quake 2, from 1998 the word akimbo was adopted into computer gaming in reference to the dual wielding of two weapons. It was mentioned prior to 1998 in the game Blood, as a power-up called the "Guns Akimbo". For example, in a first person shooter game, the player might choose a "pistols akimbo" option to wield one gun in each hand. In Far Cry Instincts when a player is dual-wielding weapons it is called Akimbo, and in Left 4 Dead there is an achievement for playing a campaign with only pistols, called Akimbo Assassin, and in Counter Strike:Source there is an achievement;Akimbo King. Enemy Territory: Quake Wars features an experience reward called Akimbo Pistols, which are the only dual wield weapons in the game. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 features dual-wielding pistols and other one handed weapons, with the Akimbo attachment, found on Submachine Guns, Handguns, Machine Pistols and certain shotguns.

Further more the term akimbo applies to use of a firearm in each hand irrespective of similarity, meaning the same as dual weilding, neither term specifically applies to the weapon content in each hand matching or differing --[[User:Captain Snikt|Captain Snikt]] 09:48, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

==Just watched it==

Albert Wesker is the funniest character in cinematic history, He is undoubtably king of the douchebags. My mate describes him as 'Your dad doing an impression of Agent Smith'. Ok now I have that out the way this movie was all over the shop. A few nice bits and bobs but mostly crap. Better than the first one tho. Kim Coates' (Bennett) definatly uses a Walther pp/ppk/ppks ( I can never tell the difference.) Angel Ortiz (the hispanic looking merc) was armed with a H&K rifle, Id say a G3 but i cant remeber too well. The Smith revolvers manage to dish out around 10 rounds each without reloading, the shotguns about 4 and the MP5K fires on full auto for about a full minuit, Good old hollywood magazines eh? Anyone else notice that for some reason you no longer need headshots to kill a zombie? Im just rambling now, but Wentworth Miller was quite good as chris and showed proficient gun handling and trigger disciplin and the final showdown might as well just be a Beretta advert --[[User:Captain Snikt|Captain Snikt]] 02:40, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
:Aww man, your friend's comment is freakin awesome. When I saw the trailer my first thought was "Wow, this guy looks like like he's trying to be Agent Smith, but...douche-ier". And yeah, I noticed zombies getting killed by body shots as far back as the second movie(I...don't honestly remember much about the first, so I dunno if a headshot was required there or not). [[User:DKS01|DKS01]] 03:08, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

:I don't remember any zombies getting killed from body shots in the second movie, being knocked down by them sure but they'd have gotten back up again probably, unless one of the bullets shattered their spine and rendered them immobile. [[User:Kornflakes89|Kornflakes89]] 02:32, 18 August 2012 (CDT)

It would be more Agent Smith ripping him off. He's been like that throughout the game series which came out before the Matrix.
:He didn't get super powers(which I'm pretty sure, includes flipping over bullets) until Code Veronica in 2000. Matrix came out in '99. [[User:DKS01|DKS01]] 15:56, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

But Agent Smith wasn't a complete Joke, seriously, the guys wearing sunglasses in an underground command center. I've never laughed so much at what was mean to be a serious role. Plus he cant shoot for shit. The alice clones are rappelling in a straight line straight towards him and he cant hit them? --[[User:Captain Snikt|Captain Snikt]] 09:43, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

If what you say is true, the movie completely misinterpreted Wesker. D: The sunglasses, at first, were just meant to set him apart from everyone else, as he was the only character in the games with sunglasses. Then when he got his powers they served to cover up his red eyes. And in the games he's pretty much a dead-eye, which is kind of a bitch during the boss fights with him. Leave it to the Resi movies to ruin one of the series' best characters... --[[User:K|K]] 18:02, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Tho I never really played beyond resi 2, game wesker did come across as fairly cool and villain-y. But the movie version is just a joke, you can have a no-prize if you can watch his performace without just laughing at him. --[[User:Captain Snikt|Captain Snikt]] 21:08, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey I decided to take a look and as for what Gunmaster12 says I can agree. Though I've got a few notes of my own. These are done by the name of the .jpg file to make it easier to understand.

REA_026.jpg

Over Alice’s left shoulder you can see what looks like Sig Sauer 552’s
In the wall holders for pistols there’s various 1911’s,
Also what looks like a Beretta Px4 Storm,

REA_027.jpg

Various models of 1911’s including para tac’s,
S&W M&P,

REA_028.jpg

Beretta Cx4 Storm
Above CornerShot are three Uzi’s original model, slightly modified it looks like
CornerShot
M-40
Steyr HS .50
Right next to the FAMAS above the .50 is what looks to be mini UZI’s
MP5SD family firearms are here as well
MP9’s on back wall

REA_030.jpg

Tar 21
Can clearly see mini Uzi’s in the background
What looks like a H&K G36K in top background on right side
It’s blurry but it looks like an MP5K
Also a 40MM Grenade Launcher Revolver style
Various Colt M16 or M-4’s

REA_031.jpg
Various MP5K’s
And what looks like a Benelli Tactical Shotgun

REA_310.jpg

MP5 with collapsible in-line stock
Steyr HS.50 above and behind the MP5
Looks to be more M-16’s
In the pistol holder you can clearly see on the top shelf closest on both sides are GLOCK pistols
Almost looks likes FN FAL rifle’s in the back on the top

Hope this helps out a bit... [[User:EducatedPoet06|EducatedPoet06]]

Okay, I just looked through all the stash shots, and I'll list off what I see. A pair of M1014s (Benelli M4 Super 90s) behind Alice in [http://www.imfdb.org/images/b/ba/REA_031.jpg this shot]. A wall of SIG SG552 rifles [http://www.imfdb.org/images/3/30/REA_026.jpg here], two (possibly three) S&W auto pistols of unidentifiable model on the rack along with a Sig and what almost looks like an FNP-series (but probably isn't) in [http://www.imfdb.org/images/9/9f/REA_027.jpg this one]. And in [http://www.imfdb.org/images/f/f8/REA_028.jpg this last one], I've got several Uzis under the Beretta Cx4, with what appears to be a CornerShot frame holding a Glock, several very odd-looking MP5 variants (SDs, to be precise, but fitted with MP5K-PDW stocks), some Mini-Uzis, a G3 with a bipod, a couple unidentifiable pistol grip pump shotguns behind Alice, and the FAMASes already mentioned. The rack on the right looks to have a heap of M16s with the A2 round handguard, and a pair of MP5s. [[User:Raven|Raven]] ([[User talk:Raven|talk]]) 23:26, 23 March 2013 (EDT)
== Steyr HS .50 ==

The begining of the film has have a real nice shot of a '''Steyr HS.50''' being used by Japanese snipers. Also, the survivors at the prison seem to have a''' HK G-3''' with an '''RIS''' system over the barrel. I saw it in 3D and it isn't so bad if you watch it only expecting to be entertained.--[[User:Mattatack92|Mattatack92]] 07:20, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

== After credits ending scene ==

Can someone identify the guns in Jill's dropleg holsters?
Al Vrkljan maybe? Thanks!

Looks like Brügger & Thomet MP-9s from the vertical foregrips and the magazine. Makes sense since they were used in the movie by the Alice clones [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 03:58, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

So, my guess of a Steyr TMP was not so far from the truth after all...
I've uploaded 2 screenshots from the scene:

== Claire's knife ==

So there's been a lot of talk about the movies and the guns used in them, but not much talk about the knives despite them being a mainstay of the Resident Evil series. Chris' knife is a Cold Steel machete but what does Claire use? It looks like Buck's 393 hunting knife with gut hook, but the handle is all wrong and the edge is partially serrated. Does anybody know if this is a specific model of knife or just some Hollywood creation?

ZionAmmo: /* Question about Andy */

=Other Weapons=
==Andy's Labrys==
Andy identifies herself as "Andromache the Scythian," referencing a nomadic people who dominated the Pontic steppe from about the 7th century BC up until the 3rd century BC. The edged weapon she wields is a modernized version of the Labrys, a double-headed battle axe associated with the Minoan civilization and mythical immortal characters such as Zeus.
[[Image:OldGuard_Labrys_01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Andy ready to split some skulls with her Labrys.]]
[[Image:OldGuard_Labrys_02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Merrick takes a close look at Andy's Labrys.]]

==Swords==
Nicky and Joe both died during the Crusades; Nicky as a Crusader, and Joe as a Saracen. In a nod to this history, Joe carries a cruciform-hilted, double-edged, single-handed sword that looks similar to those used by Christian knights during the High Middle Ages throughout Europe. Joe wields a fantasy version of a scimitar, a curved backsword that was popular with Middle-Eastern warriors during the Middle Ages. It's worth noting that "Scimitar" is an anglicized version of the Italian word "scimitarra," and refers generically to curved swords. Different cultures throughout Asia and the ancient Middle and Near East used different forms of these swords, for which they had their own names. The sword that Joe uses (more clearly visible in the film poster) looks more like the type that is used primarily for modern belly-dancing performances than an actual medieval relic.

:Interesting question. No, she just refers to herself as "Andromache the Scythian," so the term "empire" was my choice.

'''Charlize Theron''' (b. 7 August 1975) is a South African model and actress well known for roles in such films as ''[[2 Days in the Valley]]'', ''[[Prometheus]]'', ''[[Mad Max: Fury Road]]'', ''[[The Italian Job (2003)]]'' as well as her Oscar and Golden Globe-winning performance as serial killer Aileen Wournos in the film ''[[Monster]]'' (2003). In real life, Theron is a fierce anti-gun activist, which she attributes in part to the traumatic death of her father when she was 15: her father Charles (for whom she was named) went on a drunken shooting spree inside their home, and was shot and killed by her mother, Gerda, in defense of herself and Charlize.

Joe, Marwan Kenzari's character, also died during the Crusades, but on the side of the Saracens (Arabs). Consistent with this, he wields a fantasy version of a scimitar, a curved backsword that was popular with Middle-Eastern warriors during the Middle Ages. It's worth noting that "Scimitar" is an anglicized version of the Italian word "scimitarra," and refers generically to curved swords. Different cultures throughout Asia and the ancient Middle and Near East used different forms of these swords, for which they had their own names. The sword that Joe uses looks more like the type that is used primarily for modern belly-dancing performances than an actual sword of the Crusades era.

Andy, Charlize Theron's character, identifies herself as "Andromache the Scythian," referencing an empire from the 8th century BCE. The edged weapon she wields is a modernized version of the labrys, a double-headed battle axe associated with mythical immortal characters such as Zeus.

==Nicky's Knightly Arming Sword==
Nicky, Luca Marinelli's character, mentions that he died during the Crusades. In a nod to this history, he carries a cruciform-hilted, double-edged, single-handed sword that looks similar to those used during the High Middle Ages throughout Europe.

'''The Old Guard''' is a 2020 Netflix adaptation of a graphic novel by by Greg Rucka (author) and Leandro Fernandez (artist). Rucka wrote the screenplay for the film, which was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. It stars Charlize Theron as the leader of an unnamed band of immortal warriors.

Conceptually, the film combines elements of the popular '''[[Highlander]]''' franchise with the modern '''[[John_Wick|John Wick]]''' sensibility, presenting an entertaining take on the fantasy of humans that don't age and can't be killed. In a nod to the characters' extreme age (the main characters are all at least several hundred years old) several of them use quasi-historical weapons as well as contemporary firearms.
=Pistols=

==Beretta 92FS==
The [[Beretta 92FS]] pistol (standing in for the Beretta M9) is carried by Marine Corps MPs.

==Glock 17==
Most of the government agents use Glock 17 Gen 5 pistols, some of which are confiscated and used by the main characters.

[[Image:OGglock1704.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Nicky demonstrates a proper grip and Isoceles stance with his Glock 17]]

==Glock in CAA Micro RONI==
Andy uses a CAA Micro RONI with a Glock pistol.

[[Image:OldGuard_HKUSP_03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Andy provides a nice view of the HK USP]]

==Makarov PM==
A Russian pilot brings a Makarov PM (actually probably a Norinco Type 59 stand-in) onto an airplane, where it is taken by Riley.
[[Image:MakarovPM.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Makarov PM - 9x18mm Makarov]]

==Unidentified Sniper Rifle==
Nicky uses a scoped rifle a couple of times in the film, but we're never given a clear view of it.
[[Image:OldGuard_sniper_01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hard to tell what this rifle is]]
[[Image:OldGuard_sniper_02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Still hard to tell]]

Nicky and Joe both died during the Crusades; Nicky as a Crusader, and Joe as a Saracen. In a nod to this history, Joe carries a cruciform-hilted, double-edged, single-handed sword that looks similar to those used by Christian knights during the High Middle Ages throughout Europe.

'''The Old Guard''' is a 2020 Netflix adaptation of a graphic novel by by Greg Rucka (author) and Leandro Fernandez (artist). Rucka wrote the screenplay for the film, which was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. It stars Charlize Theron as the leader of an unnamed band of immortal warriors.

Conceptually, the film combines elements of the popular '''[[Highlander]]''' franchise with the modern '''[[John_Wick|John Wick]]''' sensibility, presenting an entertaining take on the fantasy of humans that don't age and can't be killed. In a nod to the characters' extreme age (the main characters are all at least several hundred years old) several of them use quasi-historical weapons as well as contemporary firearms.

[[Image:FNGL1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|FN EGLM]]
[[Image:OldGuard_grenade_launcher.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The grenade launcher is seen only in this quick, obstructed shot.]]

==Labrys==
Andy identifies herself as "Andromache the Scythian," referencing an empire from the 8th century BCE. The edged weapon she wields is a modernized version of the Labrys, a double-headed battle axe associated with mythical immortal characters such as Zeus.
[[Image:OldGuard_Labrys_01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Andy ready to split some skulls with her Labrys]]
[[Image:OldGuard_Labrys_02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Merrick takes a close look at Andy's Labrys]]

==Swords==
Nicky and Joe both died during the Crusades; Nicky as a Crusader, and Joe as a Saracen. In a nod to this history, Joe carries a cruciform-hilted, double-edged, single-handed sword that looks similar to those used by Christian knights during the High Middle Ages throughout Europe. Joe wields a fantasy version of a scimitar, a curved backsword that was popular with Middle-Eastern warriors during the Middle Ages. It's worth noting that "Scimitar" is an anglicized version of the Italian word "scimitarra," and refers generically to curved swords. Different cultures throughout Asia and the ancient Middle and Near East used different forms of these swords, for which they had their own names. The sword that Joe uses (more clearly visible in the film poster) looks more like the type that is used primarily for modern belly-dancing performances than an actual medieval relic.

Andy identifies herself as "Andromache the Scythian," referencing an empire from the 8th century BCE. The edged weapon she wields is a modernized version of the Labrys, a double-headed battle axe associated with mythical immortal characters such as Zeus.

==Swords==
Nicky and Joe both died during the Crusades; Nicky as a Crusader, and Joe as a Saracen. In a nod to this history, Joe carries a cruciform-hilted, double-edged, single-handed sword that looks similar to those used by Christian knights during the High Middle Ages throughout Europe. Joe wields a fantasy version of a scimitar, a curved backsword that was popular with Middle-Eastern warriors during the Middle Ages. It's worth noting that "Scimitar" is an anglicized version of the Italian word "scimitarra," and refers generically to curved swords. Different cultures throughout Asia and the ancient Middle and Near East used different forms of these swords, for which they had their own names. The sword that Joe uses (more clearly visible in the film poster) looks more like the type that is used primarily for modern belly-dancing performances than an actual medieval relic.

'''The Old Guard''' is a 2020 Netflix adaptation of a graphic novel by by Greg Rucka (author) and Leandro Fernandez (artist). Rucka wrote the screenplay for the film, which was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. It stars Charlize Theron as the leader of an unnamed band of immortal warriors.

Conceptually, the film combines elements of the popular '''[[Highlander]]''' franchise with the modern '''[[John_Wick|John Wick]]''' sensibility, presenting an entertaining take on the fantasy of humans that don't age and can't be killed. In a nod to the characters' extreme age (the main characters are all at least several hundred years old) several of them use quasi-historical weapons as well as contemporary firearms.
=Pistols=

==Beretta 92FS==
The [[Beretta 92FS]] pistol (standing in for the Beretta M9) is carried by Marine Corps MPs.

'''The Old Guard''' is a 2020 Netflix adaptation of a graphic novel by by Greg Rucka (author) and Leandro Fernandez (artist). Rucka wrote the screenplay for the film, which was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. It stars Charlize Theron as the leader of an unnamed band of immortal warriors.

Conceptually, the film combines elements of the popular '''[[Highlander]]''' franchise with the modern '''[[John_Wick|John Wick]]''' sensibility, presenting an entertaining take on the fantasy of humans that don't age and can't be killed. In a nod to the characters' extreme age (the main characters are all at least several hundred years old) several of them use quasi-historical weapons as well as contemporary firearms.
=Pistols=

==Beretta 92FS==
The [[Beretta 92FS]] pistol (standing in for the Beretta M9) is carried by Marine Corps MPs.

=Other Weapons=
==Andy's Labrys==
Andy, Charlize Theron's character, identifies herself as "Andromache the Scythian," referencing an empire from the 8th century BCE. The edged weapon she wields is a modernized version of the labrys, a double-headed battle axe associated with mythical immortal characters such as Zeus.

==Nicky's Knightly Arming Sword==
Nicky, Luca Marinelli's character, mentions that he died during the Crusades. In a nod to this history, he carries a cruciform-hilted, double-edged, single-handed sword that looks similar to those used during the High Middle Ages throughout Europe.

==Joe's Saracen Scimitar==
Joe, Marwan Kenzari's character, also died during the Crusades, but on the side of the Saracens (Arabs). Consistent with this, he wields a fantasy version of a scimitar, a curved backsword that was popular with Middle-Eastern warriors during the Middle Ages. It's worth noting that "Scimitar" is an anglicized version of the Italian word "scimitarra," and refers generically to curved swords. Different cultures throughout Asia and the ancient Middle and Near East used different forms of these swords, for which they had their own names. The sword that Joe uses looks more like the type that is used primarily for modern belly-dancing performances than an actual sword of the Crusades era.

==Title==
Shouldn't the title of this page, for the purpose of wiki indexing, be "Old Guard, The"? --[[User:PyramidHead|PyramidHead]] ([[User talk:PyramidHead|talk]]) 14:08, 29 July 2020 (EDT)

:Yes, it should. I'll take care of it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 19:04, 29 July 2020 (EDT)

I'm also pretty sure we don't include halberds, scimitars, or arming swords. While they may be prominent in the movie, they aren't culturally significant like, say, Rambo's knife. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 19:09, 29 July 2020 (EDT)

:Sorry for the confusion ... This is my first time creating a page for IMFDB, so I'm learning the ropes. I wasn't sure what happened to the edged weapons info, so I put it back in. I was specifically thinking of Rambo's knife as a precedent for including those items, but I understand if that's not IMFDB protocol.

== The grenade launcher and pistol ==

Looks like an [[FN EGLM]]. The unidentified pistol Charlize uses looks like a P22x series, but is a prop like you mentioned. --[[User:PyramidHead|PyramidHead]] ([[User talk:PyramidHead|talk]]) 21:39, 29 July 2020 (EDT)

==Beretta 92FS==
The [[Beretta 92FS]] pistol (standing in for the Beretta M9) is carried by Marine Corps MPs.

==Glock 17==
Most of the government agents use Glock 17 Gen 5 pistols, some of which are confiscated and used by the main characters.

[[Image:OldGuard_Norinco56.jpg|thumb|none|600px|We never get a clear shot of these rifles, but they appear to be Norinco Type 56]]

==Heckler & Koch HK M27 IAR==
Several characters use HK M27 IAR rifles throughout the film.

==Unidentified Sniper Rifle==
Nicky uses a scoped rifle a couple of times in the film, but we're never given a clear view of it.
[[Image:OldGuard_sniper_01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hard to tell what this rifle is]]
[[Image:OldGuard_sniper_02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Still hard to tell]]

=Other=
==Grenade Launcher==
A mercenary uses a grenade launcher, seen only in this quick, obstructed shot.
[[Image:OldGuard_grenade_launcher.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Still hard to tell]]

==Labrys==
Andy identifies herself as "Andromache the Scythian," referencing an empire from the 8th century BCE. The edged weapon she wields is a modernized version of the Labrys, a double-headed battle axe associated with mythical immortal characters such as Zeus.
[[Image:OldGuard_Labrys_01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Andy ready to split some skulls with her Labrys]]
[[Image:OldGuard_Labrys_02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Merrick takes a close look at Andy's Labrys]]

==Swords==
Nicky and Joe both died during the Crusades; Nicky as a Crusader, and Joe as a Saracen. In a nod to this history, Joe carries a cruciform-hilted, double-edged, single-handed sword that looks similar to those used by Christian knights during the High Middle Ages throughout Europe. Joe wields a fantasy version of a scimitar, a curved backsword that was popular with Middle-Eastern warriors during the Middle Ages. It's worth noting that "Scimitar" is an anglicized version of the Italian word "scimitarra," and refers generically to curved swords. Different cultures throughout Asia and the ancient Middle and Near East used different forms of these swords, for which they had their own names. The sword that Joe uses (more clearly visible in the film poster) looks more like the type that is used primarily for modern belly-dancing performances than an actual medieval relic.
