** Bruce McGivern saving Fong Ling despite losing a significant amount of time to disarm the T-virus warheads.

* WeAREStrugglingTogether: Morpheus is holding both major cities in China and the United States at hostage with T-virus loaded warheads if they do not pay him a sum of $1 Billion. Both countries clandestinely insert their best agents, Fong Ling and Bruce McGivern respectively to eliminate Morpheus. However, the two countries did not rule out cooperating with each other, possibly due to "conflicting interests." This is even Lampshaded by Fong Ling when she first faces off with Bruce. However, once Ling was almost killed by a Chinese orbital weapon, she and Bruce finally worked together to foil Morpheus's plans.

Due to the fact that ''Dead Aim'' supported Creator/{{Namco}}'s [=GunCon=] light gun, Bruce and Fong Ling from ''Dead Aim'' both appear in ''[[VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom Namco x Capcom]]'' as representatives of the ''Resident Evil'' franchise.[[note]]They still qualify for UnexpectedCharacter.[[/note]]

* KillSat: Used to try and kill Fong Ling in ''Dead Aim'' after China pays off Duvall to try and not turn their country into a radioactive zombie wasteland.

# ''Resident Evil: Survivor 2 – Code: Veronica'' (Arcade, UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation 2}}) -- A reinterpretation of the events of ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica Code: Veronica]]'', except modeled as an arcade-style shooter, with co-op play enabled with players controlling either Claire Redfield or Steve Burnside.

* IdenticalStranger: Vincent and Ark Thompson are almost lookalike to the point that the latter mistook himself of an amnesiac Vincent and the few survivor of the town are out for his blood. Only near the end of the game after rescuing Lott he discovers his real identity.

* LightGunGame: The [=GunCon=] support was removed in the North American version of the first game due to a backlash against light gun games and first person shooters by {{moral guardians}} as a result of the Columbine shooting at the time (it was still featured in the Japanese and European versions). Played straight with the rest of the series.

* GasMaskMooks: The Umbrella Trashsweeper unit and their leader, the UT Commander. Notably, the Trashsweepers appear to be regular humans... until you encounter them and they hoot, shriek, and move in a gorilla-like fashion.

* EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped: Sort of. In ''Dead Aim'', everyone is understandable, but the subtitles have a habit of deviating from what anyone is saying.

* HideYourChildren: Averted with Lott and Lily Klein.

A spinoff brand of the ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' franchise, '''''Gun Survivor''''' is a series of {{light gun game}}s produced by Creator/{{Capcom}} between 2000 and 2003.

# ''Resident Evil: Survivor'' (PlayStation) -- An investigator named Ark Thompson gets trapped on Sheena Island during a T-virus outbreak and must escape.
# ''Resident Evil: Survivor 2 - Code: Veronica'' (Arcade, {{PlayStation 2}}) -- A reinterpretation of the events of ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica Code: Veronica]]'', except modeled as an arcade-style shooter, with co-op play enabled with players controlling either Claire Redfield or Steve Burnside.
