About

Chris Redfield Punching a Boulder Is an iconic scene from Resident Evil 5 in which protagonist Chris Redfield has to beat his way through a giant rock in order to continue the boss fight. The moment has been joked about by the fandom as a point where the series jumped the shark and has been mocked in various pieces of fan art and eventually the series itself.

Origin

In the final level of Resident Evil 5, Chris and partner Sheva end up in a Volcano with the main antagonist, Albert Wesker. In order to proceed, Chris has to partake in a quick time event where he ends up punching a boulder in order to use it as a platform to move on and get to Sheva (shown below).



Spread

The moment became a popular point of reference among Resident Evil fans and is a common reference when making jokes about Chris Redfield. In January 2018, Scholarly Gamers[1] posted an article dedicated to the scene. It has also been a common reference for fan art for Resident Evil. For example, on October 26th, 2020, Twitter user @harayamanawari[2] posted art of Chris kicking a boulder, gaining over 300 retweets and 1,100 likes (shown below, left). On June 26th, 2017, Facebook user Piers Nevans[3] posted art of the moment (shown below, right).

"Listen up, Leon! Ethan died sacrificing himself for his child and that means my plan B has failed! I confessed that all the rocks i throw off through out your journey in Spain is actually my doing, so that i can capture you alive and hope to save you so that you can continue the Redfield bloodline and fuck my sister! But all i do is in vain as you keep outrunning those boulders and keep chasing that red Asian chick again! This time, those QTE's won't work and you can no longer outrun the boulders i will throw on you anymore! Just give up Leon and fuck my sister! You can run, but you can never escape!"
