Line 5:
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]:
** Nergal and Wesker must be related.
** Do Jill ([[The Other Darrin|in RE3]]), Claire, and Annette sound kind of familiar? What if we threw the names [[X-Men (Animationanimation)|Jean Grey, Jubilee, and Mystique]] at you? How about [[Alyson Court]]?
*** Adding in Leon to the mix, his VA in ''2'' voiced Quicksilver from the same 90s ''X-Men'' animated series.
** Claire's voice actress also, in the 1990's, portrayed Loonette the Clown on ''[[The Big Comfy Couch]]''.
** She's not the only PBS veteran in the series. In ''RE2'', Sherry shares a voice with [[The Magic School Bus (Literature)|Wanda Li]].
*** Her voice actress in ''2'' also voices Paula in ''[[Dino Crisis (Video Game)|Dino Crisis]] 2''.
** Don't forget, Jill's ''RE5'' voice was twice a [[Power Rangers Turbo (TV)|Pink]] [[Power Rangers in Space (TV)|Power Ranger]].
** It appears that one of Wesker's powers is immortality, because back in [[The Sixties]], he was [[wikipedia:Jimmy MacDonaldchr(27)s Canada|a reactionary Canadian commentator.]]
** In ''5'', Wesker [[DCD. C. Douglas|is]] [[.hack GU Games|Taihaiku and Gabi]], [[Xenosaga (Video Game)|Voyager]], [[Mass Effect 2 (Video Game)|Legion]], and [[Tales of Vesperia (Video Game)|Alexei]].
** In the recent ''RE'' games, Chris [[Roger Craig Smith|is]] secretly an [[Assassin's Creed (Video Game)|assassin]]. And [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Franchise)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]!
** HUNK [[Keith Silverstein|is]] [[Monster (Mangamanga)|Johan Liebert]], [[Soul Series (Video Game)|Zasalamel]], and [[Bleach (Manga)|Coyote Starrk]] in ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', ''The Mercenaries 3D'', and ''Operation Raccoon City''.
** Birkin's voice actor in both ''Chronicles'' games and ''Operation Raccoon City'' is none other than the one who voiced [[Dead Rising (Video Game)|Frank West]].
*** Which makes it all the more sad that Jill (being voiced by Patricia Ja Lee and all) never crossed paths with Birkin, seeing as T.J. Rotolo also voiced [[Power Rangers in Space (TV)|Dark Specter]].
** In ''Revelations'', Jessica [[Ali Hillis|is none other than]] [[Final Fantasy XIII (Video Game)|Lightning]], [[Mass Effect (Video Game)|Liara T'Soni]], and [[Kid Icarus: Uprising (Video Game)|Palutena]].
** Carlos's "All the foxy ladies love my accent. It drives them crazy" line becomes a bit more hilarious when you realize that his original VA (Vincent Corazza) was once [[Sailor Moon (Manga)|Tuxedo Mask]] and his VA as of ''Operation Raccoon City'' ([[Gideon Emery]]) is [[Final Fantasy XII (Video Game)|Balthier]].
*** And speaking of Tuxedo Mask, Luis Sera (Rino Romano) was not only Tuxedo Mask [[The Other Darrin|himself]], but [[Knights of the Old Republic (Videovideo Gamegame)|Revan]], Spider-Man ([[Spider-Man (Video2000 Gamevideo game)|on a]] [[Spider -Man Unlimited (Animation)|few occasions]]), and even [[The Batman (Animation)|the goddamn Batman!]]
** Ashley Graham's VA Carolyn Lawrence is better known to some as [[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (Animation)|Cindy Vortex]], [[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|Sandy Cheeks]], and [[Moral Orel (Animation)|Orel Puppington]].
* [[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 (Videovideo Gamegame)|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.
** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|And then Resident Evil 5 wasn't even released on a Nintendo console...]]
** The original versions of ''RE2'' and ''RE4'', known as ''Resident Evil 1.5'' and ''3.5'' respectively. Both versions were scrapped due to the developers being unsatisfied with the direction they were taking.
*** An even earlier version of ''[[Resident Evil 4 (Video Game)|Resident Evil 4]]'' was retooled into ''[[Devil May Cry (Video Game)|Devil May Cry]]''.
** ''[[Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (Video Game)|Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'' was originally going to be a [[Gaiden Game]], a side story to ''[[Resident Evil 2 (Video Game)|2]]'', while ''[[Resident Evil Code Veronica (Video Game)|Code: Veronica]]'' was going to be called "Resident Evil 3: Code: Veronica". ''Nemesis'' then proved to have a lot more content than what was typical of gaiden games, so they took away ''CV'''s "3" and slapped it onto ''Nemesis''.
** The title may have changed, but ''CV'' is still the direct sequel to ''Resident Evil 2''.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Oh, boy. So far, we got...
** '''Chris Redfield:''' "Charlie" (FMV scenes)/Scott McCulloch (''Resident Evil''); Michael Filipowich (''Code: Veronica X''); Joe Whyte (REmake) [[Roger Craig Smith]] (''Resident Evil 5'', ''The Darkside Chronicles'', ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Video Game)|Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'', ''The Mercenaries 3D'', ''Revelations'')
** '''Jill Valentine:''' "Inezh" (FMV scenes)/Una Kavanagh (''Resident Evil''); Catherine Disher (''Nemesis''); Heidi Anderson (REmake); Patricia Ja Lee (''Resident Evil 5'', ''The Umbrella Chronicles'', ''The Mercenaries 3D''); [[Kari Wahlgren]] (''Marvel vs. Capcom 3''); [[Michelle Ruff]] (''Revelations'')
** '''Barry Burton:''' [[The Danza|Barry Gjerde]] (''Resident Evil''); Ed Smaron (REmake); [[Jamieson Price]] (''Resident Evil 5'', ''The Mercenaries 3D'')
** '''Rebecca Chambers:''' "Linda" (FMV scenes)/Lynn Harris (''Resident Evil''); Hope Levy (REmake); Riva Di Paolo (''Zero''); [[Stephanie Sheh]] (''The Umbrella Chronicles'', ''Resident Evil 5'', ''The Mercenaries 3D'')
** '''Albert Wesker:''' "Eric" (FMV scenes)/Sergio Jones (''Resident Evil''); Richard Waugh (''Code: Veronica X'', ''Resident Evil 4'', ''Wesker's Report''); Peter Jessop (REmake), [[DCD. C. Douglas]] (''The Umbrella Chronicles'', ''Resident Evil 5'', ''The Darkside Chronicles'', ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3'', ''The Mercenaries 3D'')
** '''Leon S. Kennedy:''' Paul Haddad (''Resident Evil 2''); Paul Mercier (''Resident Evil 4'', ''The Darkside Chronicles'', ''Degeneration''); [[Dave Wittenberg]] (''Operation Raccoon City'')
** '''William Birkin:''' Diego Matamoros (''Resident Evil 2''); T.J. Rotolo (''The Umbrella Chronicles'', ''The Darkside Chronicles'', ''Operation Raccoon City'')
Line 48:
 
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** In ''Resident Evil: Extinction'', the [[Big Bad]] is [[Game of Thrones (TV)|Ser Jorah Mormont]]. Or [[Doctor Who|Bishop Octavian]], if you prefer.
** Some people might recognise Carlos Olivera as [[The Mummy Trilogy|Ardeth Bay.]]
** Also, William Birkin (and the Narrator) is portrayed by [[Harry Potter (Filmfilm)|Lucius Malfoy]].
* [[Money, Dear Boy]]: Milla Jovovich [http://shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=11268 flat out admits] that this is why they made a 4th live-action movie. [http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/09/milla_jovovich_were_definitely.html True for the fifth] as well (to a degree).
* [[Shout-Out]]: The Red and White Queens, the main character named [[Alice Allusion|Alice]], the fact that the entrance to the hive was behind a mirror (known less commonly as a ''looking glass''). [[Alice in Wonderland|Do the math.]]
Line 61:
** 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 Thethe Mouse?|killing Angie between films while under Umbrella's control.]] This subplot would have culminated with Jill being infected by a zombified Carlos, and sacrificing herself if the tanker the way Carlos does in the finished script.
