'''''Resident Evil 4''''' is a 2005 [[Game Cube]] game which was eventually ported to the [[Play Station 2]], [[Porting Disaster|PC]], and the [[Wii]] (in 2007); an HD remake for the [[Play Station 3]] and [[Xbox 360]] was released in 2011. ''RE4'' was an adrenaline shot to the [[Survival Horror]] genre (and Capcom's ''[[Resident Evil]]'' franchise in general): it features an over-the-shoulder camera angle (compared to the fixed camera angles of prior ''Resident Evil'' games) and a more action-oriented slant on gameplay, which helped in [[Aversion|averting]] [[Capcom Sequel Stagnation]]. ''RE4's'' success kicked off a wave of [[Follow the Leader]], as numerous [[Third -Person Shooter|Third Person Shooters]] began using the [[Always Over the Shoulder]] perspective -- and numerous survival horror games now resemble third person shooters.
 
''RE4's'' story takes place six years after the "Raccoon City Incident" (as outlined in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'' and ''[[Resident Evil 3 Nemesis]]''); the story was conceived as a fresh starting point for a new chapter in the franchise's storyline. The Umbrella Corporation -- the [[Big Bad]] of previous ''Resident Evil'' games -- is a dead corporation (as explained during opening [[Cutscene|cutscenes]]), rural Europe (rather than Raccoon City) is the setting, and zombies are replaced with creepy villagers infected by an ancient parasite and cultists looking to capitalize on this new outbreak.
Line 22:
'''Leon:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|Sounds more like an alien invasion if you ask me!]] }}
* [[AKA 47]]: Most, but not all weapons; the Striker is an exception, so is the TMP. "Chicago Typewriter" is a common nickname, as is the Red 9 (there was a 9x19mm version of the Mauser C96 with a big red "9" engraved into the grip, called "the Red-9" -- you can actually see that nine on the model.)
* [[Always Over the Shoulder]]: The game pioneered the over-the-shoulder perspective now used in nearly all [[Third -Person Shooter]] games.
* [[America Saves the Day]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by {{spoiler|Saddler. Though played straight when Leon kicks his ass all over the place.}}
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Much of the area you travel through looks like it's trapped in the middle ages, in particular the village and the castle, the occasional car or gatling gun turret notwithstanding. It's probably justified, as it is strongly implied to be cut off from the rest of society.
Line 30:
* [[Animated Armour]]: Once you reach the castle, be on the lookout for seemingly inanimate suits of armor.
* [[Anti Frustration Features]]: Ashley's sequence. Normally, you need to hit the enemies in the first room with three lamps to kill them. There are two of them in the room and only six lamps, and they run fast enough to potentially dodge them when you throw them. Die enough times, however, and they stop running and will only take two hits to kill.
* [[Anti -Villain]]: Krauser is retroactively implied to be this given the events of ''[[Resident Evil the Darkside Chronicles]]''. Also, in the game itself, he himself states that he took the President's daughter to get himself close enough to the Los Illuminados cult to gain the Queen Plagas, which implies that he'll interfere with the Queen Plagas injection into Ashley Graham, although whether that means he'll return the president's daughter to her father without risk of a Plagas outbreak or whether he'll kill her is never specified.
* [[Arbitrary Gun Power]]: 7 shots to the head (with a handgun) can't kill the Ganados on Professional, and they still have their nervous system! And that's not even getting to the part with the minibosses...
* [[Arm Cannon]]: Second type for Leon with the Mine Thrower and the PRL.
Line 41:
** The Killer7 (yes, [[Shout Out|that]] [[Killer 7]]) Magnum. Its rival, the [[Awesome Yet Practical|Broken]] [[Revolvers Are Just Better|Butterfly]], has more power (35.0 vs '''50.0'''), a [[Rule of Cool|a badass reload animation]], and it can be found mid-game for ''free''. The Killer7... holds two more bullets and has a faster reload. It's also only available in the end game, has no exclusive upgrade, and the Broken Butterfly surpasses it most of the time anyway because its upgrades are available earlier on.
** The Large Carp. It's easy to find in the village's well and lake, is practically free and restores life completely...but it's HUGE (you could store six First-Aid Sprays or twelve Golden Eggs in the same space) and doesn't even sell too well (only 2300 Pesetas, slightly more than a hand grenade). Though it's good to catch one and heal up on the go after fighting Del Lago in order to save herbs and sprays.
** The Matilda burst fire pistol. Looks cool, but pretty much all of the normal handguns use bullets more efficiently and take less space. It's also a [[New Game Plus]] weapon, meaning you've unlocked the [[Infinity Plus One+1 Sword|Infinity Plus One Guns]] already.
** The Handgun and Punisher's exclusive upgrades. The Handgun's instant kill head-shot can be more of a hindrance than a help since it can cause Plagas to spawn, and the Punisher's exclusive of piercing up to five enemies is mostly useless, since if you're faced with a group that large, you'll likely be wanting to use something more powerful and with spread such as a Shotgun. They are both also far too weak for the mid to late game, even fully upgraded, which is why the Red9 and Blacktail see more use.
* [[Awesome Yet Practical]]: The Red9. It's basically a [[Cool Guns|red Mauser C96 pistol]] converted to use 9mm rounds. Thanks to the high (for handgun standards) firepower, relatively high firing speed, and the abundant ammo, it chews through [[Mook|Ganados]], [[EverythingsEverything's Worse With Wolves|Colm]][[Demonic Spiders|illos]], and [[Goddamned Bats|Novistadors]] in no time, and even comes in handy against [[Elite Mooks|Chainsaw Ganados]] and ''even some weaker bosses''. Not only that, it's also the only handgun that can be fitted with a stock, allowing for easier targeting over longer distances. It's considered by many experienced players to be the best handgun-class weapon in the game.
* [[Back From the Dead]]:
** {{spoiler|Ada Wong}}, though they [[Never Found the Body]] in the first place...
Line 55:
{{quote| "Guess there's no sex discrimination here..."}}
* [[Blatant Item Placement]]: All the ammo and weapons just lying around.
* [[Bleep, Dammit!]]: In the conversation that occurs after Saddler has his rocket launcher-wielding minion shoot {{spoiler|Mike}} down, Leon shouts "Saddler, you bastard!" However, the text version simply says "Saddler you..."
* [[Body Horror]]: It's a ''Resident Evil'' game, so par for the course.
* [[Bonus Boss]]: With good equipment, strategy, and luck, it is actually possible to kill the Verdugo that Salazar sends after you. Thank God for those [[Weaksauce Weakness|nitrogen canisters]].
Line 99:
* [[Cutscene]]: If there's any examples of [[Subverted Trope|subverting]] a cutscene (i.e. adding gameplay to them), then it's when this game added [[Press X to Not Die]] to them.
* [[Cutscene Boss]]:
** You don't actually need to fight {{spoiler|Saddler's [[One -Winged Angel]] form, a.k.a. the ''final boss''}}, at least on Normal difficulty. Much frustration is saved when you realize {{spoiler|you can just run away from him and immediately end the fight with the cranes holding the I-beams, followed by the Special Rocket Launcher Ada drops.}}
** Also done earlier in the [[Press X to Not Die]] flavor when fighting {{spoiler|Krauser for the first time}}; the entirety of the battle is a dialogue exchange with the occasional unexpected QTE thrown in to keep things interesting.
* [[Cutscene Power to The Max]]:
Line 111:
* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: Suppose the player decides to use a regular rocket launcher instead of the specialized one Ada supplied to you as the coup de grace on Saddler. The developers anticipated this possibility and created a slightly different cutscene specifically for this sort of situation: Saddler's corpse after being shot at by the regular rocket launcher will be significantly intact, but will start show signs of degrading, whereas with the specialized ones, Saddler's corpse basically turned into smoking charcoal.
** Also, once you reach the church, you're supposed to check the door and find it locked, justifying Leon having to go through the lake to find the key and thus rescue Ashley. If Leon tries to go to the lake before trying to open the door, Hunningan chews him out for "taking the scenic route", since neither of them know Leon needs the emblem to open the door yet...but at the beginning of that same route, he comes across Mendez's document about sealing the church and hiding the emblem, which justifies him not trying to rescue Ashley at once.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]:
** There are herbs scattered around that increase health... The catch is that they look like weed.
** {{spoiler|Leon and Ashley getting their plagas removed also has a bit of this thrown in.}}
Line 129:
* [[Enemy Rising Behind]]: Two examples. The first is Mendez popping up just behind Leon and grabbing him by the neck. Played with when Jack Krauser rises up behind Leon Kennedy, disappears when Leon senses something and turns around, and Krauser attacks Leon from above.
* [[Escort Mission]]: Half of the game. Fortunately, it's pretty endurable, all things considered. Ashley has decent AI (hiding behind you, ducking when you aim in her general direction, etc.), and there's usually a good place to stow her away in just about every map.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The Merchant (ironically, the game guide calls him the Weapons Dealer. It's fairly obvious which stuck).
* [[Eye Scream]]: The Garradors have their eyes sewn shut.
** To expose Salazar's body, Leon needs to shoot out the eye on his main tentacle first.
Line 137:
** In Assignment Ada, you are required to store [[Plot Coupon|Las Plagas Samples]] in your attaché case, whereas in the main game, you stored other plot-relevant (but useless in-gameplay) items in a separate screen.
** In ''Separate Ways'', you cannot upgrade your weapons like you can in the main game, and enemy placement in general puts more of an emphasis on blindsiding sneak attacks rather than action-horror.
* [[Fake Longevity]]: Mostly averted in-game, but invoked with unlocking the [[Infinity Minus One-1 Sword|Chicago Typewriter]] in later ports. In the [[Game Cube]] version, you unlock the Typewriter after beating [[Brutal Bonus Level|Assignment Ada]], but in the [[PS 2]] and Wii versions you have to beat both Assignment Ada AND [[Another Side Another Story|Separate Ways]].
* [[Follow the Leader]]: This game was hugely influential on a number of other games that followed it, including ''[[Dead Space (Video Game)|Dead Space]],'' ''[[Gears of War]],'' ''[[Dark Sector]],'' and many others.
* [[Foreign Cuss Word]]: Spanish peasants like calling you any number of foul things.
Line 143:
* [[Gatling Good]]: J.J.
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: To the English-speaking ear, "Luis Sera" sounds like "Louise Sarah." It would explain why Paul Mercier (Leon's voice actor)'s director didn't correct him whenever he said "Lewis" instead.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Barely anything fazes Leon, up to and including the announcement that the island he's on is about to explode. It gets pretty funny when [[The Dragon|Salazar]] dramatically does his [[Body Horror|horrific]] [[One -Winged Angel]] transformation and Leon's only reaction is a shake of his head as he deadpans: "Monsters. After this, there's one less to worry about."
* [[Giggling Villain]]: Salazar.
* [[Glamour Failure]]: Normal forms of Las Plagas (Control and Master Plagas seem to be exempt). It's supposed to mimic human behavior, but they get a taste for raw/rotten meat, attack non-carriers, have no sense of hygiene, glowing eyes at night, and photosensitivity, more so than a normal person.
Line 174:
* [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals]]: The only explanation why the Merchant can be at so many places at the same time and [[Unexplained Recovery|gets better]] when you kill him is that there are more than one of him. All with the same voice.
* [[Infant Immortality]]: Subverted. There are no children among the Ganados in the game, but the [[All There in the Manual|supplemental booklet]] that came with the ''Biohazard 4 Incubate'' DVD reveals that there used to be children in the village, but their smaller bodies ended up rejecting the Plagas parasites. Some of the houses have the skeletal remains of children in them as well.
* [[Infinity Minus One-1 Sword|Infinity Minus One Gun]]: Almost every weapon in the game has a purchasable exclusive that, while powerful, still uses up ammo. Partially subverted with the Broken Butterfly's exclusive making it a boss killer weapon, thus saving a LOT of rare magnum ammo.
* [[Infinity Plus One+1 Sword|Infinity Plus One Gun]]: Not only are there ''three'' weapons with infinite ammo that are designed for three wildly different playstyles, but they're all balanced! To wit:
** An Infinite Rocket Launcher which, while powerful, and has a wide range, has a slow rate of fire and is dangerous to use.
** The Chicago Typewriter, an infinite-ammo Thompson M1928 SMG. Can kill anything in the game in one or two hits, but does a poor job penetrating surfaces like wood and is very inaccurate at long range.
** The [[Hand Cannon]], a ridiculously powerful magnum which can penetrate cover and disintegrate wooden doors. However, it has a slow rate of fire and next to no wideshot range, and is arguably the hardest to get.
** All versions after the [[Game Cube]] version award the [[Frickin' Laser Beams|PRL 412]] if you beat the game on Professional difficulty. When fired, this laser weapon stuns enemies and causes a small amount of damage to them. When charged, however, it instantly kills everything in front of you.
*** You can't, however bring the PRL 412 into a Normal Mode game, because you can't switch between Normal and Professional modes. They have to be different save files.
* [[Instant Death Bullet]]: Ashley and the Merchant can both be killed by accidentally grazing both or getting knifed once.
Line 191:
** It's more "shoot/stab them while they're down, otherwise they'll kill you."
** Ashley kinda does this if Leon is knocked down near her with normal uniforms. "Oh! You pervert!"
* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]: ''Oh, boy...'' How do you get the initial shotgun and a free Broken Butterfly? Steal it. You loot the corpses of Ganados for money. More money? Steal it from barrels and hiding places. More still? Fight minibosses, kill them, and loot the corpses. The same also goes for bullets and jewels. You can also [[What the Hell, Hero?|steal from the church's offering plate]].
* [[Kneecapping]]: One of the better ways to stun an enemy is to aim for the knees, and then have Leon quickly run up and knife 'em while they're down. Alternatively, run up and [[Wrestler in All of Us|suplex them]] to crush their heads for an instant kill.
* [[Knife Fight]]: One of the game's most memorable scenes.
Line 197:
* [[Lady in Red]]: Ada.
* [[Large and In Charge]]: The village chief is eight feet tall.
* [[Last -Name Basis]]: Saddler, Salazar, Krauser, Wesker.
* [[Laughably Evil]]: Salazar.
* [[Lethal Joke Character]]: HUNK in ''The Mercenaries''. He's slow, he's got the second lowest HP just behind [[Fragile Speedster|Ada]], his TMP requires [[More Dakka|sustained fire]] to do any kind of damage, and he has no knife, so if you run out of ammo, ''[[Unwinnable By Mistake|you can't kill any enemies or open boxes to get more]]'', so you just have to run around and wait until you either get killed or time runs out. Useless, right? Yes, unless you know how to conserve ammo by using controlled bursts to heads, accumulate grenades by taking advantage of reliable item drops, and then spam grenades and the [[One -Hit Kill|Neck Breaker]] during bonus time to build up monstrous combos. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZanpIsdSYAQ Case in point], a guy plays HUNK and accumulates ''200200'' points.
* [[Life Meter]]: This game did away with the series' usual heart-rate based health display in favor of a more traditional health bar.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]:
** Mendez, before his [[One -Winged Angel]] form. When Leon first enters the barn, Mendez practically [[Flash Step|Flash Steps]] across his line of sight, then appears behind him.
** Krauser, in both the main story and ''The Mercenaries'' mode. Unless he's injured in the latter, then he limps and becomes a [[Mighty Glacier]].
* [[Luck Based Mission]]: The Waterworld stage in Mercenaries to some extent for HUNK and Leon, largely because their lack of stopping power to deal with Super Salvador. The amount of damage he can take [[Implacable Man|before flinching]] can vary wildly from a well placed shotgun or spray to the face to multiple grenades or exploding barrels. It sucks seeing the futility in trying to slow someone who can instant kill you [[Instant Death Radius|just by being next to you]].
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: Averted: some Ganados carry large wooden shields, but the only thing they're protected from reliably is regular pistol shots: a close-range shotgun blast will shatter them to pieces, sustained fire from a SMG will open holes in them, and the Punisher and all rifles can easily kill as if they weren't there (provided you can guess where the head is behind them).
* [[Made of Explodium]]/[[Every Car Is a Pinto]]: You are required to shoot some trucks. There's an explosion and the truck careens into a hill or wall.
* [[Male Gaze]]: You start noticing this more when you put Ashley in her popstar outfit. The President has equipped his daughter with ballistics, indeed.
Line 212:
* [[Missing Mission Control]] / [[Mission Control Is Off Its Meds]]: Leon's handler, Hunnigan, loses contact with Leon at the beginning of Chapter 3. It is soon revealed that the baddies have hijacked Leon's comm line, and then use it for the rest of the game as a vehicle for taunting Leon.
* [[Misplaced Accent]]: The game is apparently set in a Spanish-speaking European country where everyone speaks Mexican Spanish.
* [[More Dakka]]: [[Infinity Plus One+1 Sword|Chicago Typewriter]]. [[Bottomless Magazines|Infinite Ammo]]. Have fun.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The laser hallway sequence is almost certainly a reference to the ''[[Resident Evil (Film)|Resident Evil]]'' movie's laser hallway.
* [[The Napoleon]]: Salazar.
* [[Neck Lift]]: Mendez has a tendency to do this to Leon after suddenly appearing from behind. During the boss battle, if the player isn't [[Press X to Not Die|fast enough to dodge his grip]] in the cutscene, [[Neck Snap|he breaks Leon's neck]].
* [[New Game Plus]]: Have fun demolishing the bosses with your fully upgraded weapons. Or the [[Infinity Plus One+1 Sword|Infinity Plus One Guns]].
* [[Nice Hat]]: Salazar's tricorne goes nicely with the rest of his [[Gorgeous Period Dress|Dapper Period Dress]].
** And one of Leon's special costumes gets a nice fedora to go with it (although it's the only costume that doesn't show in cutscenes)
* [[Nightmare Sequence]]: Involving Las Plagas.
* [[Non -Human Sidekick]]: If you helped the dog at the beginning of the game, he will come and help you during the fight against El Gigante, and [[Ensemble Darkhorse|that makes you love him!]]
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: If Ashley is killed or recaptured, you get a different game over screen with the words "Mission Failed". Another special game-over occurs if you (accidentally or not) hit Luis too many times during the [[Hold the Line]] sequence at the cabin. (Shooting the lake and being eaten by Del Lago is not an example, it's just [[Yet Another Stupid Death]])
* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: Regarding J.J., is it "Jay Jay" or "Hota Hota" (i.e., the letter J pronounced in Spanish)?
Line 227:
** Zealots and Militia aren't much better: the former chuckle loudly enough to be heard, and the latter growl "Te cogí!".
* [[Not a Zombie]]: Occurs with the very first enemy.
* [[No, You]]: "Saddler, '''you're''' small-time."
* [[Off With His Head]]: ''Resident Evil 4'' loves this. Leon (and all playable characters in ''The Mercenaries'') can get decapitated by Centipede Plagas eating his head, Zealots throwing scythes at his head, Garradors going into a berserker rage, and Dr. Salvador, the Bella Sisters, or Super-Salvador chopping off his head with a chainsaw.
* [[Oh Crap]]: During the opening segment, when Leon accidentally gets the attention of all of the villagers interested in killing him, you can take cover in a nearby house. In a cutscene, Leon will block the door with a dresser, then see Dr. Salvador show up with a chainsaw, prompting this reaction.
* [[One Bullet Clips]]: Played straight, though possibly justified in that Leon collects loose bullets, rather than ammo clips, so he could theoretically drop the bullets from the previous clip into his attache case and take a new clip from the case.
* [[One -Man Army]]: Leon.
* [[Our Lawyers Advised This Trope]]: Played for laughs. During the end credits, it says how that if you should try to copy it illegally, you will fall under a RPD investigation and be prosecuted by S.T.A.R.S. members, and then some.
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: They aren't actual zombies. They are people controlled by a parasite called Las Plagas. Although some varieties will have the Plagas take over if the human host ends up killed by decapitation or from damage, or even during night time.
Line 238:
* [[Panty Shot]]: Sure, you can try, but Ashley won't be having any of it. Though there are ways around that.
* [[Personal Space Invader|Personal Space Invaders]]: ''Oh boy...''
* [[The PresidentsPresident's Daughter]]: Ashley.
* [[Press X to Die]]: There are fish in the lake, and you can shoot them. [[Schmuck Bait|It is not]] [[Nonstandard Game Over|a good idea]].
* [[Press X to Not Die]]: This game loves it, and pretty much kick-started [[Follow the Leader|gratuitous use of it in other games]], arguably making it the [[Trope Codifier]]. It was certainly the first game in recent memory to put them in cutscenes.
Line 266:
** Ashley has "LEOOOOOOOOOON, HEELLLLLPPPPPPP!"
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: During their knife fight, Leon and Krauser receive a cut to the face and chest respectively, both of which remain for the rest of the game. <ref>Krauser's being visible during the later fight where he's shirtless.</ref>
* [[Self -Imposed Challenge]]: This game has managed to spawn many different challenges. All grenade runs, no attache case runs (ie. never opening the attache case), no Merchant runs, knife only, handgun only (normally just the original handgun, upgraded, but some people will pick their favorite handgun instead), no deaths, speed runs, etc.
* [[Shoot Out the Lock]]: There are locks on doors throughout the game that you need to destroy to continue. You can use your knife, though, and that will save you some ammo.
* [[Short Range Shotgun]]: Subverted with the exclusive upgrade for the basic shotgun. Doesn't seem to work in the GameCube version.
* [[Shout Out]]: [[Resident Evil 4 (Video Game)/Shout Out|Many]]. Most of the mutations seem to be based on ''[[The Thing (Film)|The Thing]]'' for one.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: When Salazar gives Leon one too many smarmy monologues, [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Leon cuts him short with a knife to the hand]].
* [[Sliding Scale of Linearity vs. Openness]]: Though the overall progression through the game is very linear, many areas can be tackled in multiple ways, and exploration is frequently rewarded with items and ammo.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Salazar.
Line 288:
* [[Tentacle Rope]]: The flower-ish growth that devours and assimilates Salazar and his "left hand" does so by wrapping tentacles around them and pulling them into itself.
* [[Terrifying Rescuer]]: Leon gets attacked by Ashley when he first finds her.
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: When {{spoiler|Krauser is betrayed by Ada as he expected}}, he refers to her as "the bitch in the red dress".
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Leon grew some muscles and got in touch with his inner wrestler after ''2''.
* [[Torches and Pitchforks]]: The [[Mook|Gan]][[Our Zombies Are Different|ados]].
Line 323:
** Countless are the players that met the Game Over screen for the first time thanks to Dr. Salvador in the village -- and he's an optional miniboss.
** The village itself. On the path to the village, you manage to kill the first "swarm" of Ganados and work on picking off individual enemies and small groups. Then you reach their home. They're not happy to see you. At all. Compared to the zombies of the previous games, they are faster, very aggressive, and much more resistant to damage. When you first get to the village, you'll at most have a few clips of handgun bullets and (if you're lucky) a grenade. You'll quickly find out that this is not nearly enough to deal with the respawning villager swarms and Dr. Salvador, especially in Professional difficulty, so be prepared to run around like mad to scavenge whatever you can while trying to not get killed.
* [[Wall of Weapons]]: The Merchant when he actually has a shop. When outdoors, he has his inventory stuffed into his coat. If only he'd actually use it to ''help'' you, but [[Money, Dear Boy|where's the profit in that?]]
* [[Warmup Boss]]: Del Lago. Not long afterwards, parasites start coming out of the Ganados' heads.
* [[War On Terror]]: Salazar makes a humorous remark about this.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: When a Ganado "pops" (has its head burst to let a Plaga out), it can be killed with a single flash grenade. This affects both the "scythe tentacle" plaga and the "head-eating worm" plaga. The "facehugger" plaga, though, merely detaches from its body immediately, so it still takes more ammo (or another flash grenade) to kill the now-free plaga -- then again, this is what happens if you try pumping bullets into it anyway.
* [[We Used to Be Friends]]: Leon and Krauser, as well as Ada and Leon.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Just ''try'' looking up Ashley's skirt.
{{quote| '''Ashley''': "Oh, you pervert!"}}
* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: In chapter 3-2, you're faced with a [[Boss in Mook Clothing|Red Zealot]] standing on a balcony, who you then have to chase throughout the gallery... or, if you have the GameCube version, whip out your [[Magikarp Power|fully upgraded bolt-action rifle]] and [[One Hit KO|boom]], [[Boom Headshot|headshot]]. Not even the Infinite Rocket Launcher can kill this enemy. Alas, this was fixed in later versions, where the Red Zealot is invincible until you go up the stairs to start chasing him, although you can still take him out before he manages to man the gatling gun.
* [[Wolverine Claws]]: A variation on the Garrador (it's a longer blade than usual).
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: If certain enemies are on their knees, Leon can run up to them and perform a Northern Lights Suplex. [[Your Head Asplode|Quite effective]], and generally prevents Plaga creation, which is ''handy.'' Sadly, Ashley only has this move in the GameCube version.
