Shout Out / Resident Evil 5

• The first few chapters of the game are, by the director's admission, a deliberate homage to Black Hawk Down.
• Barry Burton's lines in The Mercenaries: Reunion are his old campy lines from the original Resident Evil, as well as having "HERE'S Barry!" (to address RE1 Jill's question of his whereabouts) and a melee attack called... Barry Sandwich.
• 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 here.
• Jill resembling Fiona Belli from Haunting Ground.
  • 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.
• Chris' "Warrior" costume is an homage to Mad Max.
• The Chainsaw Majini is an homage to Dr. Salvador and the Bella Sisters from Resident Evil 4, which by extension makes him one to Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974.
• The Final Battle takes place between a muscular protagonist after he derails the Big Bad's plan by crashing a plane into a volcano, where they have their fight, and said Big Bad is The Ultimate Lifeform. Sounds like Capcom took notes from Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Battle Tendency.
