The backseat zombie on Resident Evil 2
The backseat zombie was a zombie who appeared in the opening cutscene of Resident Evil 2.[1] In both scenarios (A and B), he lunges up from the backseat of the police car Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield are in. He startles Leon and makes him crash the car, there are two possible crashes:
- The car crashes straight into the wall and the zombie flies out through the windshield. This happens on Claire A, Leon B Scenario.
- The car spins around before crashing into the wall and the zombie flies out of the back of the car. This happens in Leon A, Claire B scenario.
This then sets up the event in which a gas truck driven by a zombified truck driver crashes into the car. Leon and Claire barely escape the crash and the resulting explosion. They get separated and then plan to meet up again at the Raccoon Police Station.
Further Notes[]
- The zombie was reimagined for the 2011 Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City demo.
- The zombie is missing from the remake of the game.
- This zombie appears to share the same model as Leon S. Kennedy, albeit modified, with lighter hair, greenish skin and a white dress shirt.
