Shout Out / Resident Evil – Code: Veronica

• 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 3. The Bandersnatches were also supposedly based off of the zombie that was in that scene.
  • The Bandersnatch actually bears a strong resemblance to the "Tarman" zombie from the original The Return of the Living Dead. If only he said BRAINS!
• The name 'Bandersnatch' comes from Lewis Carroll's work.
• Alfred acting as Alexia is just like Norman Bates. In addition, the layout of the twins' private residence seems like a further Psycho reference.
• Wesker's Lightning Bruiser moves are a shout out to The Matrix. Also, in an ode to Terminator, his eyes flash red behind his sunglasses in one cutscene. He is revealed to have Thriller-style cat eyes when his shades are knocked off by Chris.
  • Another Matrix shout-out is when Steve does a Bullet Time Super Window Jump to save Claire from a Bandersnatch.
• There are a couple shout outs to Metal Gear Solid, such as where Alfred aims his sniper rifle at Claire and when Wesker gets a call on a "codec".
  • Alfred's sniper rifle, meanwhile, is a shoutout to Dawn of the Dead (1978). Doubles as Hilarious in Hindsight when you remember Peter's assessment of the rifle: "The only man who could miss with this is the sucker with the bread to buy it."
• Alexia's second One-Winged Angel mutation resembles the breeding form of the Queen Alien from Aliens, with its blob-like ovipositor which she separates from for her final form.
• The blindfolded monster Claire fights at Antarctica? His name is Nosferatu.
• Alexia in general, from her forms, goals, and even her theme music, is one giant shout out to Eve.
• Alexia's flammable blood attacks, an ode to Carrie (1976).
• Steve is wearing a necklace with a small digital device on it near his jugular. It's similar to the explosive charges worn by the students in Battle Royale.
• The baby albinoids share a strong resemblance to the Facehugger.
