I didn't thought it was a meme but I remember laughing at that line and other very bad dialogue but still it was kind of new at that time and outside of that bad writing and acting that game is still a classic of the Horror genre ...

This is one of those games I haven't really looked at since around the time it came out. Do not tarnish my memories! But a Jill sandwich does sound pretty good, right now....

There was some fantastically awful voice acting in that game alright! I also used to get a good laugh out of the live action opening cinematic where they are all turning to the camera striking a pose!

Actually that whole live action bit at the start is hilarious!

This reminds me so much of the time when I used to play RE. Should've mentioned how Barry found a weapon that is especially powerful against living things.

Even better than Jill Sandwich is the RE director's cut live action intro video. CAST

@2bitSmOkEy Wow. Just, wow was that epically bad. I have some videos that we made for High School English class projects that would rival this 5 minute intro for acting and costuming.

@jimrhurst @2bitSmOkEy I think a lot of it is down to really bad translation from the original biohazard coupled with what was kind of industry standard for zombie movies at the time. My favourite bit is still the keeper's diary you find.

Ive played countless times REmake but never tried the original on PSX and these vids make me glad I havent. No need of cardboard dialogues that makes you laugh to disrupt the immersion and great atmosphere REmake has.

@GamerOuTLaWz It's funny hearing how they revamped the dialogue though. They rearranged everything and took out the REALLY bad bits.

@GamerOuTLaWz Quality will never replace originality, uniqueness. Play the game, if its about something you truly like (im assuming you like resident evil as a franchise), you wont regret it.

It has the famous, sentimental value.

@GamerOuTLaWz Well I think you may hate the orginal ... but I remember in 1996 it was really new and even with the bad dialogue it was scary and some part were very hard if you didn't save your ammo. Also, if you did the mansion in a different way, you got different cut scene.

And you know ... it is a great game even if it is funnier than it is scary and tense. immersion and atmosphere isn't always a necessity.

This comment has NOTHING to do with the video article. I just wanted to say how impressed and heartened I am to see that, in a section containing 19 comments, there are two posters with System Shock related user images. (I did warn you it was non-relevant to the video!)

Ill never forget how me and my dad used to mock the voices from the original RE, having fun and all then getting killed lol.

You know jess, looking at this video made me think you'd make a good oldschool jill, cut your hair, get the beret and you'll be unlocking doors in no time.


Now that i think of it, you should do all your videos while cosplaying a character from them, hope your boss reads this comment lol.

@yeah_28 Hahaha, I'm not sure CBS will cover the wardrobe budget but I'll propose it. I've only ever actually cosplayed once and it was a lot of effort putting the costume together!

@tempertress I did, and the first ingredient was BRAAAINS. That's the last time I go into a sandwich shop with a kitchen staff of zombies.

Anyone remember the RE sound file that was edited so it sounded like everyone were having intercourse?

"Jill! sandwich! now! *zombie groans*" Oh the juvenile fun.

RE had so much unintentional humour. Got to thank them for inspiring the House of the Dead voices.
