** Regina was intended to have a lover named Alex who was her superior at S.O.R.T.. The producers nicknamed him the "Kiss Demon" since he would try to kiss Regina any chance he got. An alternative ending had Regina leapt into Alex's arms and kiss him after [[spoiler: using the gate and going back to her original timeline.]]

*** The game's versions look and act absolutely nothing like the real dinosaur by that name. However, as medium-sized carnivorous dinosaurs with giant claws on their hands, they are actually decent portrayals of a different dinosaur called ''Megaraptor'', which was believed at the time to be a giant relative of ''Velociraptor''.

* FranchiseKiller: Due to poor reception by fans and critics alike, ''Dino Crisis 3'' has pretty much put the series into a deep coma since it strayed too far away from the previous installments and the game itself was loaded with problems. To wit, the only mention the series has had since ''3'' was Regina's appearance in ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'', plus a costume for Annie in the ''EX Plus Alpha'' add-on for ''VideoGame/DeadRising3''. The fact the game was released in the Platform/{{Xbox}}, which was (and still is) very unpopular in Japan didn't help matters either, so it's very possible Capcom released the game there instead of the Platform/Playstation2 or the Platform/GameCube, two Japanese-made consoles, knowing well the game would bomb and probably damaging the company's reputation in Japan should the game be released in either of those two consoles.

** In very early stages of development, the first game was meant to take place mostly in the jungle and the enemies would be animals that could be found in real life, like snakes and gorillas. A few months in, Shinji Mikami made the decision to have them be dinosaurs instead, laying the foundation for the game series as a whole.
** The first game was going to feature a sequence set in a part of the jungle, but because of the hardware's limitations in producing such detailed environments, it couldn't be included.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: In a Spanish strategy guide for the first game, the ''Therizinosaurus'' is named ''Pterosaur'' when those two couldn't any more different. Incidentally, the ''Pteranodon'' is named ''Pterodactyl'' but that’s a common mistake.
** The Spanish version of the manual for the Dreamcast port of the first game included some blurbs telling scientific facts about the prehistoric beasts you find in the game. All well and good, except for the fact that the very first one is about Saber-toothed Tigers aka ''Smilodons'', when no animals of the sort appear in the game.

*** The game's versions are erroneously depicted with longer arms and shorter, sickle-shaped claws, more similar to those of the giant ornithomimid ''Deinocheirus'' whose arms were only known at the time. Fast-forward to 2014, and it would turn out ''Deinocheirus'' had a body plan quite similar to the real-life ''Therizinosaurus''.

** Similarly, the ''Mosasaurus'' are depicted looking more like finned crocodiles and much smaller than in real life. However, this enables them to be passed off as thalattosuchians or marine crocodyliforms, though their tails would be shark-like than eel-like.
