[edit] Expansion Needed

Expansion needed for this article - a great deal of it. Most of the sections for the first BR could and perhaps should be given to this one - its little more than a stub really.

[edit] Screen shots

I can help. I'll add more content, such as screenshots, a list of characters, etc (probably in a couple of days). --Henrickson 20:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I've added some stuff... Anybody like it? I'm still working on the list of characters. --Henrickson 06:25, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revenge

Should this either be a new article or just a large expansion to this one? Either way, the extended (and far superior) version is now out, and this needs to be covered.

Right, that was me before, yes, but I forgot to sign (ages ago I made that). But it still needs done. If I don't have the time to do it myself, does anyone else want to? Caissa's DeathAngel 17:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 8 million dead WTF?

There needs to be a note that this "death toll" by US bombing is some fantasy number the screenwriter must have pulled out of his ass. When I heard this line while watching the movie I was shocked by the historical ignorance. The United States hasn't killed 8 million people by bombing. If anything, 8 million may be the number of total civilian and military deaths that could be attributed to the Korean and Vietnam Wars, WWII, Persian Gulf Wars, African interventions etc. This includes all actions by the North and South Korean governments/military, the North and South Vietnamese governments/military, and the governments of Communist China, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, the USA and maybe a few more countries. Also no context is given for US interventions, I suppose the US bombed Japan during WWII because they felt like it, not because the imperial government slaughtered 6 million civilians in 6 years?

Consid4ring what the US Government has done, is doing and plans to do, I think that number is a reasinable number, especially considering all the American Imperialism this government has done (ex. Phillipines, Puerto Rico, Nicaruga, etc). Don't forget the atom bomb tests done on US soil and all the deaths from cancer, leukemia, etc. Or, historical context? Roosevelt allowing Pearl Harbor to happen? "Terror Bombing" on German population centers by Allied forces? The Government lies, and especially considering Operation Northwoods, his estimate may not be so far out. -SWF

[edit] Reaction

Referring to the 'Reaction' section, and I quote: "The sequel was panned by critics as inferior to the original, stating that the original's fresh concept, innocent characters, and occasional dark humor outshines the teen-angst driven action of the sequel."

Where does that "fact" come from? At the moment it comes across as an "impression" of the overall reaction, which probably shouldn't be in there.

don't know but, do know it was panned due to inferior direction, not that the average director is near capable of following in the footsteps of Kinji Fukasaku. --AlexOvShaolin 05:11, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

That is only an opinion of some critiques. Others bore different perception. It is a statement that does not stand to scrutiny as a fact, but marely one particular take on the subject. The sentense has to be neutralized as a wiki article; an opinion cannot be presented as a fact. Jgrey 08:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not going to dwell on the subject, however Kinji Fukasaku is widely recognized as one of the most influential directors that ever lived. In other words, its more than a matter of taste. --AlexOvShaolin 02:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

I think it might be worth mentioning in the trivia that the beach landing scene was ripped almost entirely from Saving Private Ryan, especially the fact that nearly the entire scene was shot with a hand camera. 02:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)Chris Redfield
