1* The first few chapters of the game are, by the director's admission, a deliberate homage to ''Film/BlackHawkDown''.
2* Barry Burton's lines in ''The Mercenaries: Reunion'' are his old campy lines from the original ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'', as well as having "HERE'S Barry!" (to address ''[=RE1=]'' Jill's question of his whereabouts) and a melee attack called... Barry Sandwich.
3* Wesker throws his shades at Chris before delivering a powerful series of attacks. This is a shot-for-shot recreation of an identical scene from the Mark Dacascos' film ''Drive'', as seen [[https://youtu.be/WBR9iqupiqo?t=519 here]].
4* [[spoiler:Jill]] resembling Fiona Belli from ''VideoGame/HauntingGround''.
5** They also have two villains who share the same name...albeit spelled differently (Riccardo vs Ricardo) and with completely different motivations. One wants to gain eternal life by impregnating the main character, the other wants to make a lot of money.
6* Chris' "Warrior" costume is an homage to ''Film/MadMax''.
7* The Chainsaw Majini is an homage to Dr. Salvador and the Bella Sisters from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', which by extension makes him one to Leatherface from ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre1974''.
