In the trailer for Resident Evil: Apocalypse, there's an iconic moment wherein a man with a gun in a candle-lit room is looking around warily as a Licker's tongue slowly comes in from behind him to encircle his throat before we smash cut to "in theaters soon." In fact, it closes out the trailer.
In the actual film, this guy is named Mackenzie and he's some random schmoe who joins Jill and co. in seeking refuge inside of a church, which is where he, the designated redshirt of the group, meets his sticky end via the tongue of one of the Lickers that's gotten inside God's house. The movie itself is rather crummy, but the sequence in the church (before Alice comes crashing in on a motorcycle like Miss Piggy from The Great Muppet Caper) is decent and suspenseful, the sequence of Mackenzie being stalked in particular.
I liked it so much I used the trailer shot as an animated .gif avatar on Eka's, and Thecruelseasons (among others) demanded to know from whence it came.
I explained and ultimately our talks resulted in "What if it was a cute mouse guy about to get Licked?" and so I drew this real quick. So here we have some anonymous mouse (loosely based on actor Geoffrey Pounsett who plays the Licker's victim in the movie) realizing he's about to find out the hard way why they call them Lickers.
