** Rumor has it that Leon S. Kennedy was at one point going to be Claire's partner in this game and also die near the end. Creator/{{Capcom}} quickly realized how bad an idea it would be to kill off such a well-liked character and turned him into the new character named Steve Burnside instead (if true, this would explain why Steve looked so similar to Leon in the original release).

** Jill Valentine was originally intended as the game's protagonist. However, when Hideki Kamiya added the last line to the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' ending to suggest Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield would go on a quest to fight Umbrella, writer Noboru Sugimura was forced to replace her with Claire. The freedom of the character thus allowed the ''Resident Evil 3'' staff to use Jill.

* ShoutOut:
** An early scene in the Rockfort Island training facility involving a survivor in a hazard suit getting crushed against an observation window while Claire watches helplessly is an almost shot-for-shot homage to ''Return of the Living Dead III''. The Bandersnatches were also supposedly based off of the zombie that was in that scene.
** The name 'Bandersnach' comes from Lewis Carroll's work.
** Alfred acting as Alexia is just like [[{{Psycho}} Norman Bates]].
** Wesker's LightningBruiser moves are a shout out to ''TheMatrix''. Also, in an ode to ''{{Terminator}}'', [[RedEyesTakeWarning his eyes flash red]] behind his sunglasses in one cutscene.
*** Another ''Matrix'' shout-out is when Steve does a BulletTime SuperWindowJump to save Claire from a Bandersnatch.
** There are a couple shout outs to ''MetalGearSolid'', such as where Alfred aims his sniper rifle at Claire and when Wesker gets a call on a "codec".
** Alexia's second OneWingedAngel mutation resembles the breeding form of the Queen Alien from ''{{Aliens}}'', with its blob-like ovipositor which she separates from for her final form.
