Trivia
- Based on a videogame.
- The premise of the movie involves an Alpha Team (led by Milla Jovovich) looking for their colleagues of Bravo Team who have gone missing under suspicious circumstances. Alpha Team subsequently ends up in a place full of monsters where they find most of their Bravo Team colleagues already dead. This is almost the exact same premise as the classic video game Resident Evil (1996), with soldiers replacing a special police team, insectoid monsters substituting for zombies, and a parallel world instead of an old mansion. Paul W.S. Anderson, screenwriter/directer of Monster Hunter, also wrote and directed Jovovich in Resident Evil (2002), as well as the last three installments of Resident Evil, which were big screen adaptations of the Capcom eponymous game series. Monster Hunter is also an adaptation of a popular game series from Capcom that started with Monster Hunter (2004).
