=== Games ===
* [[Cash Cow Franchise]]: ''Resident Evil'' is one of [[Capcom]]'s most popular and successful franchises.
* [[Doing It for the Art]]: One scene in the remake has a closeup of Wesker's boot, which shows that the top buckles are not laced up. In the same game, the character select shows that for Chris' police ID, a coin is stuck in the clear plastic where the photo is. He'll also fire a shotgun from the hip, but when fighting bosses decides it's time to stop monkeying around and shoot properly from the shoulder instead.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: ''The Resident of Evil Creek'', taken from a hilariously out-of-touch judge's opinion on the First Amendment rights of video games.▼

* [[What Could Have Been]]: In 2001, Capcom announced that the ''Resident Evil'' franchise was going to be exclusive to Nintendo & the GameCube. In addition to straight ports of ''[[Resident Evil 2 (Video Game)|Resident Evil 2]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (Video Game)|3]]'', and ''[[Resident Evil Code Veronica (Video Game)|Code Veronica X]]'', a total of two new games (One of which was the ''[[Resident Evil (Video Game)|REmake]]'') were released (and remained) exclusive to Nintendo's consoles; and ''[[Resident Evil 4 (Video Game)|Resident Evil 4]]'' was also anounced as a GameCube exclusive before Capcom decided that due to poor sales of ''[[Resident Evil 0 (Video Game)|Resident Evil 0]]'' and the ''REmake'', they would release the game on the [[Play Station 2]] as well.▼

** Subverted with the voice actors for Claire Redfield and Ada Wong, as they have been voiced by their same actors ([[Alyson Court]] and Sally Cahill respectively) for the entire series.
*** Mostly subverted in Ada's case. She was darrin'd by an uncredited voice actress in ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', but returned to the role in ''The Darkside Chronicles''... only to be darrin'd again in ''Operation Raccoon City'' by Courtney Taylor.
*** Jim Ward (Krauser) also holds the distinction of reprising his role, although this can be chalked up to Krauser originating in an era where most of the VAs were consistent and Krauser's limited number of appearances throughout the series (''Resident Evil 4'', ''The Darkside Chronicles'', ''The Mercernaries 3D''). The same can be said of Salli Saffioti (Ingrid Hunnigan in ''Resident Evil 4'' and ''Degeneration'').
* [[Playing Against Type]]: A surprising number of characters throughout the series (particularly in ''Resident Evil 2'', ''Resident Evil 3'' and ''Resident Evil 4'') are voiced by actors who previously only appeared in children's entertainment.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** The original versions of ''Resident Evil 2'' and ''Resident Evil 4'', known as ''Resident Evil 1.5'' and ''Resident Evil 3.5'' respectively. Both versions were scrapped due to the developers being unsatisfied with the direction they were taking. One of the scrapped ''Resident Evil 4'' ideas had Leon going through a castle fighting living dolls. Which was deemed too "supernatural" for a series based on science. The two versions of ''Resident Evil 4'' before that got retooled into ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' (the "Stylish" build) and ''[[Haunting Ground]]'' (the "Castle" build), respectively. At one point, according to an interview with the actor who played Leon, Leon was actually supposed to be killed as a result of the virus mutating inside of him, but this tested poorly even among Capcom executives and the idea was scrapped (Paul Mercier was kept, much to his delight, however).
** ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'' was originally going to be a [[Gaiden Game|a side story]] set in Raccoon City, involving civilians trying to escape. A game titled ''Resident Evil 3'' was in development at the same time by Hideki Kamiya's team, and involved HUNK on a cruise ship (following from ''Resident Evil 2'''s story). The escape story then got an upgrade to a main game and Jill was added as the main character, while Kamiya's ''Resident Evil 3'' got scrapped, and he and his team moved onto what would become the first version of ''Resident Evil 4''. This meant that the number 3 was now free for Jill's game, and the game was titled ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis'', just in time before being released as ''Resident Evil 1.9'' instead.

** A character is named K-Mart, because she was found in a K-Mart.
** When she encounters Alice Jill demands, "Who the fuck are you?" The Steppers released a rather infamous remix called ''Who the Fuck is Alice?'' in 1995.

** The White Queen from the third film would originally have appeared in the first (one of the older scripts for the Alice version, not the Jill and Chris).
** LJ was originally supposed to be played by ''[[Snoop Dogg]]'' rather than Mike Epps.
** Had Sienna Guillory not been preoccupied with the ''Eragon'' movie, Jill would have fulfilled Claire's role in ''Extinction.'' Her dropping out of the third movie caused an entire subplot to be removed, in which Jill is hostile and untrustful towards Alice, due to Alice apparently [[What Happened to
