Albert Wesker: You were the only one to successfully bond with the T-Virus, to fully realize her powers. Well, now I have need of you. The old you. So I've given you back your gift. You are the weapon.
Alice: I'm gonna kill you.
Albert Wesker: Perhaps. But first, you have work to do.
- Won the Canadian Screen Award for Achievement in Visual Effects (2013)
- While filming a fight scene with Milia Jovovich, a mishap occurred causing 16 actors to fall off a scaffolding and sent to the hospital. As a result, filming was shutdown for a few days and Mili Jovovich visited some of the actors in the hospital out of respect.
- The original plan of writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson was to film this movie simultaneously with the upcoming sixth installment in the series, making essentially a two part finale. In the early stages of development Ali Larter and Wentworth Miller were slated to be included in the cast list. When the studio backed out of the concerted filming for two movies, Claire and Chris Redfield were scrapped from the production plans and the filmmakers made it clear that Resident Evil Retribution would be a standalone film. The only carryover from the initial conception is the tagline which bills the 5th film as the beginning of the end.
- The first movie of the series not to feature undead dogs.
- There are 3 scenes from Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) that were reused in this movie: 1. J-pop girl attacking Japanese businessman 2. The scene showing A serum flowing through Alice's veins 3. The Ospreys approaching the Arcadia to attack.
