Corrected entry: In the scene where Jill and Angie are crawling around on the floor and are being attacked by dogs, a woman zombie crawls toward Jill and attacks her. Jill grabs the woman zombie by the neck and twists it, breaking it and "killing" the zombie. Jill then checks the zombie's neck for a pulse to make sure it is "dead". Zombies are already dead and wouldn't have a pulse in the first place.

Revealing mistake: Nearly at the end, the scientists find Alice's body at the waterfall, one of the men lifts up the cloth to take a look at her face. Her face is badly burned on one side and she is pronounced dead. However, take a look at the left side of her neck, you can see her either gulp or take in a quick breath of air. (01:19:05)
Carlos: We're assets. Expendable assets. And we've just been expended.
Trivia: The method by which Alice disposes of the zombie dogs (by throwing a flaming object into a gas filled kitchen) is similar to one of the numerous ways Jill Valentine defeats Nemesis in 'Resident Evil 3'.
Question: In the newspaper clippings at Jill's house, it says something like "Jill Valentine suspended" so why did she get suspended?
Answer: If you zoom in on the newspapers on the wall, one article mentions the death of her partner, Leon S. Kennedy, in connection with her suspension.

Correction: Zombies have to have a pulse. It is stated in Resident Evil, as well as many other zombie movies, that the zombies are reduced to primal instincts, and only have one objective: To feed. Also, for a human body to move as extensively as they do, (i.e. walking, biting, running) they would have to have, at the very least, a functioning brain stem. None of what they do is possible without some form of blood flow to the brain. Ergo, pulse.
This explication contradicts directly the one given for the cemetery. The buried dead do not have blood due to preservation and brain matter doesn't last long. Ergo one of those two explanations, resurrection or primal instincts is false as the two facts cannot coexist.
It should also be noted to have some form of blood flow to the brain stem means zombies have beating hearts and therefore any shot to the heart, or any shock that stops the heart, would stop the blood flow to the brain. By your logic, that would stop the zombie. Most zombie lore is only a headshot, or otherwise destroying the brain stem, can stop a zombie. Most of what zombies do is impossible to begin with.

Almost all zombies only have brain activity and nervous system, making the body move. Destroying the brain stops the nervous system and thus the zombie. Almost never do they have a working blood circulation. The zombies in resident evil don't have one either.

Actually, watching the scene (so important to do before commenting) she is not checking the pulse at all, she just has her hand under the neck.
