History Characters / ResidentEvilFilmSeries

* VasquezAlwaysDies: Only natural when you're played by Michelle Rodriguez. Surprisingly, she's the last of her team to actually die.

%%* TakeAThirdOption

* VillainousLegacy: His causing the T-Virus outbreak sets off the entire film series, as said outbreak spreads to Raccoon City and eventually the entire world. The guy pretty much caused the near extinction of humanity.

* DeadAllAlong: She was killed by the Red Queen's nerve gas alongside the others workers of The Hive in the beginning of the film. Matt encounter her, now as a undead.

* AllForNothing: Terri's footage about the zombie outbreak is divulged to the public, but seen as a prank due to Umbrella using the cover story of a nuclear plant melting down. And even when the truth comes out, nobody cares because they've got bigger problems.

* NonActionGirl: Terri by her own admission has never fired a gun and her screentime usually involves her either filming what's going on or having to be saved by the others.

* OhCrap: Says "Oh shit." before he dies

* AdaptedOut: In the novelization of ''Retribution''.

* DeathByAdaptation: In the novelization of ''Afterlife'', he really dies in the explosion of the plane, as his return in ''Retribution'''s has him revealing the dead Wesker was actually a clone (though he might have been lying). This is a stark contrast to the films, where he survives everything they throw at him and never needs to be cloned.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Wesker, who's been built up as the BigBad of the series, ends up being upstaged by Isaacs in ''The Final Chapter'', incapacitated by an extremely mundane injury he should have been able to easily avoid with his powers, [[ForgotAboutHisPowers which he never even uses for some reason]], and gets killed off in an extremely anticlimactic manner, without even a fight scene.]] The {{novelization}} of ''The Final Chapter'' attempts to [[AllThereInTheManual explain this discrepancy, among other things]], aside from implying [[spoiler:he did not die.]]

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the ''The Final Chapter'''s novelization.]]

* DirtyCoward: A deleted scene has him abandoning co-worker Marla Maples to be DevouredByTheHorde. Averted in the finished film, where he helps Peyton and Terri bar the church doors against some zombies.

* CoolShades: In ''Extinction''.

* BlackGirlDiesFirst: Betty is the first named member of the convoy to die in the film.

* AdaptationOriginConnection: Promotional info for ''Film/ResidentEvilApocalypse'' states Leon was Jill's partner in the Raccoon City Police Department and was thought dead after an incident before the events of the film. In the games, he was certainly in the RCCD, but he was not Jill's partner and has never interacted with her in the entire franchise. The canonicity of this promotional info is debatable, though; ''Retribution'' neither confirms nor rebuts it, as their possible interactions outside from fighting in opposite sides are not fleshed out (note that the novelization does rebut it, but it also contains some changes in the plot).

* AdaptationalWimp: The game version of Sergei was the template from the Tyrants and capable of going toe-to-toe with Wesker himself. His film version is a regular human soldier.

!!Razor

* EatenAlive: By the [=BOW=].

* DecoyProtagonist: Alice seemingly dies in the beginning of ''Film/ResidentEvilExtinction''. Then it is revealed that it's just a clone. It happens again in ''Film/ResidentEvilRetribution'', this time Alice is a suburban mother married to a Carlos Olivera clone.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: In "Final Chapter", she's [[spoiler:killed along with Ada, Leon and Jill after Wesker betrays everyone. In the novelization, however, she survives due to being locked in a safe room by an unknown individual.]]

* StoryBreakerPower: The main reason they are disposed in the beginning of Afterfile.

* OhCrap: His reaction when he sees the laser coming for him turning into an unescapable net of lasers that he sees he cannot dodge like he did before, when it was only one or two lasers sweeping across the room. The laser net slices him cleanly into meat cubes.

* CloningBlues: Umbrella cloned her constantly in the hope of replicating her powers and building an army. [[spoiler: ''The Final Chapter'' reveals that ''she's'' a clone herself. Specifically of Alicia Marcus, the daughter of the original co-founder of Umbrella, James Marcus.]]

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He was ultimately [[CloningBlues stabbed to death by one of his own clones]], who was every bit as arrogant and determined as the original. It's also because of this that Isaacs' goal to RestartTheWorld in Umbrella's image was thwarted.

* TheStarscream: Becomes this to Umbrella, after his mutation. [[spoiler: A rare case of a character becoming [[CloningBlues his own Starscream.]]]]

* CloningBlues: After smugly dissecting the psychology of the Isaacs clone from the third movie, he himself suffers a pretty epic FreakOut on finding he's not the real deal either.

* ThreeAmigos: Forms this with Luther and Barry in ''Retribution''.

->'''Played By''': Sergio Peris-Mencheta

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Isn't mentioned at all in ''Retribution'' or ''The Final Chapter''. WordOfGod says he was captured by Umbrella and "his whereabouts are unknown".

* BladeOnAStick: Jill wields a lance during her fight with Alice in the fifth film.

* VasquezAlwaysDies: Seems Michelle Rodriguez always dies too.

* AGodAmI: When describing his plan to unleash the T-Virus onto humanity, he compares the plan to the Biblical Flood, implicitly putting himself in the position of God.
