10 Movie Franchises That Didn't Care About HUGE Plot Holes

There's perhaps no movie franchise in recent memory that makes less sense than Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil franchise - no, not even Transformers.

While audiences certainly knew what they were getting with this series and its increasingly braindead glut of sequels, its virtually unprecedented lack of regard for its own established continuity and basic narrative logic is stunning in its pervasiveness.

This reaches an apex in the hilariously horrible sixth (and mercifully final) film, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, where it's revealed that the original Alice (Milla Jovovich) is simply another clone of Alicia Marcus, the terminally ill daughter of T-virus creator and Umbrella founder James Marcus.

Furthermore, Alice learns that the reason for her memory loss throughout the series is that she literally didn't exist prior to waking up in the shower at the start of the first Resident Evil, totally contradicting flashbacks in the first movie which show Alice secretly meeting with Dr. Lisa Addison (Heike Makatsch) long before she woke up in the shower.

Wait, what?

Even Olympic-level mental gymnastics aren't sufficient enough to explain how the "original" Alice being a clone makes any sense.

It's a thoughtless ass-pull done for nothing more than shock value, but at least few fans were actually invested in these characters and this story in any way, right?
