Boulderfield

Boulderfield is the cargoship between Chris Redfield and a boulder from the Resident Evil fandom.

Canon
Boulders have been a part of the Resident Evil games since its conception. They are normally set up as environmental hazards which usually result in death. The most notable one has been the boulder from Resident Evil 5 in which Chris punches one to save his partner, Sheva Alomar.

RESIDENT EVIL

While in the underground tunnels of the Spencer Mansion, booby traps have been set that result in boulders rolling down the hallways. The player, should they be Chris Redfield has to enact this. Chris pulls out a crank he's found, attaching it to its port. After the third turn, he must run away from a boulder to avoid being crushed to death, in the hopes of revealing a door to continue through.

RESIDENT EVIL 5

During the ending fight with Albert Wesker, Sheva Alomar reaches the end of a volcanic path. In order to save her, Chris Redfield finds that he has to create a stepping stone. By doing this, he moves a boulder at the edge of his path. Hyped on adrenaline, Chris struggles to push, but soon manages to punch the boulder into the lava to save Sheva. With this, Sheva is able to walk across to Chris's position.

Fanon
Following Chris's punching of the boulder in Resident Evil 5, fans often joke that this is "revenge" on it for potentially crushing him in Resident Evil 1.

The whole scene from Resident Evil 5 was so ridiculous - even for the legendary Chris Redfield - that in the eyes of the fandom, it's become another reason why Resident Evil 5 is one of the more interesting games of the series.
