Go To


1	* AllStarCast: Probably has one of the most loaded cast of talent in video game history, including Creator/JonathanPryce, Creator/TimCurry, Creator/JKSimmons, Creator/GeorgeTakei, Creator/GinaCarano and for the epilogue... [[spoiler:Creator/DavidHasselhoff]]. Then ''Uprising'' raises the bar with ''Wrestling/RicFlair'', in all his [[LargeHam hammy glory.]]
2	* CharacterOutlivesActor: Actor Nicholas Worth, who played Premier Alexander Romanov in ''Red Alert 2'', died a year before ''3'' was released. The game explains his absence by saying he fled.
3	* {{Corpsing}}: Creator/TimCurry noticeably struggles to contain his laughter as he delivers [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niZpcdp2v34 a particular line in the final allied mission]]:
4	-->'''Premier Cherdenko''': I'm escaping to the '''ONE PLACE''' that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism... ''(Pause, as he visibly struggles to contain his laughter)'' '''''SPAAAAAACE!!'''''
5	** As revealed in, believe it or not, [[https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjkv9q/an-oral-history-of-tim-currys-escape-to-the-one-place-uncorrupted-by-capitalism an oral history of the line]], the shot was the first take of Curry performing the line. As is obvious, it captures his genuine reaction to seeing the line on the teleprompter.
6	* ExecutiveMeddling: ''Red Alert 3'''s DRM, which was an incredibly controversial issue in the run-up to release.
7	* FakeNationality:
8	** The Soviet Union is led by an Englishman and their top scientist is a Swede. Krukov's and Oleg's actor are of Russian descent, the former is Venezuelan and the latter is American. Dasha is probably Russian (her last name suggests she ''could'' be Ukrainian) but her actress Creator/IvanaMilicevic is a Serbian immigrant who grew up in the United States.
9	** Everyone in the Empire of the Rising Sun appears to be Chinese, save for the Emperor himself. Kelly Hu is also of Hawaiian descent, which by technicality makes her of ''Japanese'' descent in this timeline. Then there's Takara, played by Creator/JamieChung, who is ethnically Korean.
10	* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/PeterStormare is known for his stoic and tough roles and yet in this game, he plays the NonActionGuy Dr. Gregor Zelinsky.
11	* StuntCasting: Gina Carano's role as Natasha amounts to a single non-speaking cameo in the Allied campaign and the Natasha unit in gameplay is clearly voiced by someone else.
12	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
13	** Greg Black revealed in his [[https://twitter.com/TheGregBlack/status/1086136531390148608/photo/1 Twitter]] that the third faction was not supposed to be Japan, but ''Switzerland''.
14	** Before EA decided to revitalize the [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquer3TiberiumWars Tiberium universe]], some consideration was made to make another Red Alert, which would have a more [[https://www.artstation.com/artwork/QZWQl toy-like design]] then the art direction that was ultimately chosen for the third game.
