Resident Evil: Beyond the Horror - Part 3

Easter Eggs

Resi 2 (1998)

'It's trashed. Someone must have searched the desk...'
Examine Wesker's desk 49 more times, and you'll receive a film.

Developing photo in darkroom reveals recruit.
Why does crooked S.T.A.R.S leader have a picture of Rebecca?

(Shrugs shoulders).

Anyway, costume is unlockable in Deadly Silence.

Providing Leon is armed with shotgun and unloads in specific spot (area unimportant), camera will bear brunt.

Here's an example.


Waste of ammo yes, but cool nevertheless.

Trick actually debuted in Resi Evil: Director's Cut.

Resi 3

Collect each file in running order to get Jill's Diary.

It's a fairly interesting read.

Lost in Nightmares (Resi 5 DLC)

Check entrance door three times to reveal a classic camera angle.

Cute.

But now - the real fun begins.

Resi Evil (1996)

A woman drawing water
 may have been inspired by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres' The Source.


S.T.A.R.S. ID Card is signed by a certain Brian Irons.
Resi Evil (2002)

The knob is broken. It doesn't look like it'll open.
Message may be poking fun at Silent Hill.

The lock is jammed. This door can't be opened.
MO disk reader is a modified Gamecube.


Resi 0

Billy's tribal tattoo is Mother Love, a track on Queen album Made In Heaven.
Easily missed this one.

Combining the gold and silver rings grants access to the blue keycard found inside the conductor's briefcase.
Jimmy Lewis where are you?

Here I am.
Resi 4

Ever wondered what's engraved on Krauser's knife?

Snakebite
Leon can park ass on a fancy chair.
For shits and giggles?

Not at all.

As this is a nod to Tekken 5.

Jin's ending
But wait.

Both appear to rip off Conan the Barbarian (1982).
Time for some art.

Random painting vs Judith with the Head of Holofernes - Lucas Cranach the Elder


Portrait holding prison key interests me.
Because it's Anthony van Dyck's Charles I at the Hunt wearing Ringo Starr's face.


Dude holding a Revolver definitely sews shit up.

Survivor

Ghosts 'n Goblins
Lily's bedroom also has portion of cover art used for Street Fighter Collection on Saturn.


Dino Crisis
Is it coincidence that Jennifer Campbell is the same age as Rebecca Chambers?
Hmmm.

Revelations

Jill and Parker board the Queen Zenobia.
Zenobia was a Syrian-based queen.

Fair enough.

Margaret Whiting portrayed evil witch of same name in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger.
Christian name of FBC agent Dario Barioni could be reffing Italian horror legend Dario Argento.

The Queen is Dead stages climax.

Final chapter is so-called as it refers to Queen Dido.
Title is a famous album by The Smiths.

Revelations 2

Moira Burton's tee displays As the World Burns.
Bolt Thrower's album The IVth Crusade features such a track.
Also.

I'll always need you. But for now... I have this.
This is a splendid ref to Bazza giving Master of Unlocking some acid rounds in original.

Jill: But how about you Barry?
Barry: I HAVE THIS.
How about you? That doesn't even make any fucking sense.

Code: Veronica

Accessing computer shows folders of Nemesis (Jill's stalker) and Mikami (Shinji).
Don't know about you guys, but I teared my hair out solving painting puzzle.

Highlights reel start.

A beautiful woman is holding a tea set vs Madame de Pompadour - François Boucher


It's a man's portrait vs Portrait of Émile Zola - Édouard Manet


A middle-aged man is with red-haired twins vs Portrait of Monsieur Bertin - Jean-Auguste- Dominique Ingres


Topping the lot though.

A man's portrait (left) and Skeleton picture (right).
Zooming in.


Hello. What's this?

Lieutenant-Colonel Banastre Tarleton - Sir Joshua Reynolds
Magnificent stuff.

Two more.

Resi 6
Helena Spencer blurts out "No more tears."
Said statement is an Ozzy Osbourne album.
The Umbrella Chronicles
A hunter picks up Ada's shoe.
First used in Disney's 1950 adaptation of Cinderella, the Grand Duke picks up leading lady's glass slipper when she flees from glitzy ball.
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!
