                                    PART II
 
                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
     The Tennessee Business Corporation Act ("TBCA") provides that a corporation
may indemnify any of its directors and officers against liability incurred in
connection with a proceeding if (i) the director or officer acted in good faith,
(ii) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity with the
corporation, the director or officer reasonably believed such conduct was in the
corporation's best interests, (iii) in all other cases, the director or officer
reasonably believed that his or her conduct was not opposed to the best interest
of the corporation, and (iv) in connection with any criminal proceeding, the
director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, however,
the TBCA provides that no indemnification may be made if the director or officer
was adjudged to be liable to the corporation. In cases where the director or
officer is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding instigated because of his or her status as an officer or director of
a corporation, the TBCA mandates that the corporation indemnify the director or
officer against reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding. The TBCA also
provides that in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal
benefit to an officer or director, no indemnification may be made if such
officer or director is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the TBCA provides that a
court of competent jurisdiction, upon application, may order that an officer or
director be indemnified if, in consideration of all relevant circumstances, the
court determines that such individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification, whether or not the standard of conduct set forth above was met
or was adjudged liable, provided that if such officer or director was adjudged
liable, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses.
 
     Article 8 of the Amended and Restated Charter (the "Charter") of the
Company and its Restated Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify against
liability, and advance expenses to, any present or former director or officer of
the Company to the fullest extent allowed by the TBCA, as amended from time to
time, or any subsequent law, rule or regulation adopted in lieu thereof.
Additionally, the Charter provides that no director of the Company shall be
personally liable to the Company or any of its shareholders for monetary damages
for breach of any fiduciary duty except for liability arising from (i) any
breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (ii)
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law, (iii) any unlawful distributions or (iv) receiving
any improper personal benefit. The Company has entered into indemnification
agreements with certain of the Company's directors and executive officers.
 
     Directors' and officers' liability insurance has also been obtained by the
Company, the effect of which is to indemnify certain directors and officers of
the Company against certain damages and expenses because of certain claims made
against them caused by their negligent act, error or omission.
 
     The above discussion of the Charter and Bylaws of the Company and the TBCA
is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference
thereto.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person thereof in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
     post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
        (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
        Securities Act;
 
        (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
        effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
        post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
        aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
        in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
        increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
        dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
        registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
        maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
        with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
        changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change
        in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
        Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
 
        (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of
        distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
        any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
     registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
     offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial
     bona fide offering thereof.
 
     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
     of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
     of the offering.
 
     (4) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
     post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
     company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
     included in the registration statement when it became effective.

                                January 13, 1999




Regal Cinemas, Inc.
7132 Commercial Park Drive
Knoxville, Tennessee  37918

Ladies and Gentlemen

         We have acted as counsel to Regal Cinemas, Inc., a Tennessee
corporation (the "Issuer"), in connection with the preparation and filing by the
Issuer of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-69943) (the
"Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
December 30, 1998 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
relating to the Issuer's $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8 7/8%
Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2010 (the "Debentures") that may be issued in
exchange for a like principal amount of the issued and outstanding 8 7/8% Senior
Subordinated Debentures due 2010 (the "Old Debentures") of the Issuer. The
Issuer proposes to offer, upon the terms set forth in the prospectus contained
in the Registration Statement, to exchange $1,000 principal amount of Debentures
for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Debentures (the "Exchange Offer"). The
Debentures will be issued under the Indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of
December 16, 1998, by and among the Issuer and IBJ Whitehall Bank & Trust
Company (formerly IBJ Schroder Bank & Trust Company), as trustee (the
"Trustee"). Capitalized terms defined in the Registration Statement and not
otherwise defined herein are used herein as so defined.

         In so acting, we have examined originals or copies, certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Indenture, the form of the
Debentures set forth in the Indenture and such corporate records, agreements,
documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents
of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Issuer and have
made such inquiries of such officers and representatives as we have deemed
relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth.

         In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures,
the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of documents
submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the
originals of such latter documents. We have 

<PAGE>   2

also assumed (i) the due organization and existence of the Issuer, (ii) that the
Issuer has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform
its obligations under the Indenture and (iii) that the Issuer has duly
authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture. As to all questions of fact
material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have
relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives
of the Issuer.

         Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated
herein, we are of the opinion that the Debentures have been duly authorized by
the Issuer for issuance and, when executed by the Issuer and authenticated by
the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and delivered in
exchange for the Old Debentures in accordance with the Exchange Offer, will be
legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable against it in
accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting
creditors' rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to
general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness,
good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding at law or in equity).

         The opinion expressed herein is limited to the laws of the State of New
York and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered by this
letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and the reference to this firm under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement.



                                           Very truly yours,

                                           /s/ WEIL, GOTSHAL & MANGES LLP

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
 
   
     1. The undersigned hereby tenders to Regal Cinemas, Inc., a Tennessee
corporation (the "Company"), the 8 7/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2010
(the "Old Debentures") described above pursuant to the Company's offer of $1,000

"Debentures") in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of the Old
Debentures, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the
Prospectus dated January 15, 1999 (the "Prospectus"), receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the
"Exchange Offer").
    
 
     2. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that it has full
authority to tender the Old Debentures described above. The undersigned will,
upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Company
to be necessary or desirable to complete the tender of Old Debentures.
 
     3. The undersigned understands that the tender of the Old Debentures
pursuant to all of the procedures set forth in the Prospectus will constitute an
agreement between the undersigned and the Company as to the terms and conditions
set forth in the Prospectus.
 
     4. Unless the box under the heading "Special Registration Instructions" is
checked, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants that:
 
          (i) the Debentures acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer are being
     obtained in the ordinary course of business of the undersigned, whether or
     not the undersigned is the holder;
 
          (ii) neither the undersigned nor any such other person is engaging in
     or intends to engage in a distribution of such Debentures;
 
          (iii) neither the undersigned nor any such other person has an
     arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the
     distribution of such Debentures; and
 
          (iv) neither the holder nor any such other person is an "affiliate,"
     as such term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act
     of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of the Company.
 
     5. The undersigned may, if, and only if, unable to make all of the
representations and warranties contained in Item 4 above, elect to have its Old
Debentures registered in the shelf registration described in the Registration
Rights Agreement, dated as of December 16, 1998, between the Company and Morgan
Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the
"Registration Rights Agreement") (all terms used in this Item 5 with their
initial letters capitalized, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the
meanings given them in the Registration Rights Agreement). Such election may be
made by checking the box under "Special Registration Instructions" on page 5. By
making such election, the undersigned agrees, as a holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities participating in a shelf registration, to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its directors, officers who sign the Registration Statement and
each person, if any, who controls the Company, and any other selling holder
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities whatsoever
(including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim), joint
or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company, or any such
director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of, or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
therein in reliance upon and in
<PAGE>   4
 
conformity with information relating to the undersigned furnished to the Company
in writing by or on behalf of the undersigned expressly for use therein. Any
such indemnification shall be governed by the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, including, without
limitation, the provisions regarding notice, retention of counsel, contribution
and payment of expenses set forth therein. The above summary of the
indemnification provision of the Registration Rights Agreement is not intended
to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Registration Rights Agreement.
 
     6. If the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned represents
that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of
Debentures. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive Debentures
for its own account in exchange for Old Debentures that were acquired as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it acknowledges
that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such
Debentures; however, by so acknowledging and delivering a prospectus, the
undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer and Old
Debentures held for its own account were not acquired as a result of
market-making or other trading activities, such Old Debentures cannot be
exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
 
     7. Any obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the
successors, assigns, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal
and personal representatives of the undersigned.
 
     8. Unless otherwise indicated herein under "Special Delivery Instructions,"
the certificates for the Debentures will be issued in the name of the
undersigned.

signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact,
officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative
capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by
the Company, proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority to
so act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.
 
     4. MISCELLANEOUS. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility
(including time of receipt), acceptance, and withdrawal of tendered Old
Debentures will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which
determination will be final and binding on all parties. The Company reserves the
absolute right to reject any or all Old Debentures not properly tendered or any
Old Debentures the Company's acceptance of which would, in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to
waive any defects, irregularities, or conditions of tender as to particular Old
Debentures. The Company's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the
Exchange Offer (including the instructions in this Letter of Transmittal) will
be final and binding. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection
with tenders of Old Debentures must be cured within such time as the Company
shall determine. Neither the Company, the Exchange Agent, nor any other person
shall be under any duty to give notification of defects in such tenders or shall
incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Old
Debentures will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or
irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Old Debentures received by the
Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or
irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the Exchange
Agent to the tendering holder thereof as soon as practicable following the
Expiration Date.
