Blood
on the mansion 2F Main Hall walls
Interesting, yes? This can be found on any of the original
versions of Resident Evil 1 on the wooden walls right where you
climb up the steps to get to the mansion 2F in the main hall. It's
surprising how many times we passed by there not even thinking or
looking and blood lines the walls. In a place where you never
encounter a single enemy (unless you open the front door, you dummy)
we wonder who or what could've made the giant mess. Next time you're
in the Spencer Estate, take some time to smell the roses and enjoy
the scenery. Never know what you'll end up spotting. |

Paul
Anderon's hate of Leon Scott Kennedy
Most of you probably don't know this, unless you are an avid
collector of Resident Evil miscellaneous items. You might remember
that newspaper hanging on the board in the early scenes of Resident
Evil: Apocalypse where Jill Valentine has been suspended. I bet
you've probably never really found out why she was suspended,
either. To delve deeper, we got our hands on one of the copies of
Raccoon City Times newspapers from the movie and dug into the
article. According to Paul Anderson's interpretation of back history
for Jill Valentine, she and partner Leon S. Kennedy were R.P.D.
officers and after an accident gone wrong, Leon Kennedy died.
Valentine was partly to blame for the accident and was then
suspended from the force. Under normal circumstances you'd think
this was all made up, but all you must do is read the fine print!
This coming from the man who directed the whole movie, we aren't
surprised. |

The
mouse known as D. I. J.
In the midst of playing Resident Evil: Code Veronica you
might've come across a diary written by a man who can only be
identified as D. I. J. We were all left scratching our heads as we
read the entrees, left dumbfounded and thinking back from the
beginning of the game and pondering who exactly could've been
following you the entire time, but left out of the spotlight. It
isn't until you open a particular locker at the Antarctic Base where
you see a random mouse jump out and fly at you. He then scurries off
like normal. You don't think anything about that moment until the
end of the game when you realize what exactly happens in full
circle. Entrees like "I turned around to find myself looking at the
woman in red" and "I was almost crushed by a metal shutter" are some
of the hints you can think back on and remember seeing a little
innocent mouse scurrying around. |

Rebecca
Chambers basketball photograph
This easter egg also comes from Resident Evil 2 and in the
S.T.A.R.S. office in the second floor hallway. Upon inspecting the
desk a first time, you'll simply get a message about how it has been
left a mess and somebody must have searched it pretty good for
something. Keep searching the desk and after about fifty attempts
you will finally come away with a roll of film for your efforts!
Take the film down to the photography development room and you'll
get a picture of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team medic Rebecca Chambers in a
basketball uniform and holding a basketball. Hmm, a pretty random
thing to find in a desk but that's what easter eggs are for, right?
[
Apparently this is the only existing complete picture on the
internet, because a google didn't turn any up. ] |

The
Chickenheart strikes back
We all know Brad Vickers met an uncertain death at the hands of
Nemesis near the beginning of Resident Evil 3. What we didn't know
was that his corpse got back up a few hours later and began roaming
the grounds of the Raccoon Police Department well after Jill
Valentine's departure of her business. When Claire Redfield comes
across Vickers whilst on her way to the station, he has become fully
undead and no longer a rational thinking person. The only way to get
Brad Vickers to show up at the beginning of Resident Evil 2 is to
play on normal or higher and you can't pick up any items before
reaching the police station courtyard. If you're able to get through
all of that, then you are rewarded with the presence of Brad Vickers
in the underground tunnel looping around the courtyard of the
building. He takes more shots to take down and is quite faster, so
be careful. Striking him down will reward you a new weapon and a few
costume choices. |

That
mysterious old door that could never be opened
Alright, seriously guys. What's the deal with the locked door
that can't be opened. It's jarred from the other side, but no other
game ever goes into any explanation as to what's behind the door and
why it's jammed. Has it always been like this, and the lazy janitor
just never got around to fixing the passages around here?! Surely
not. I wonder what the point of including a door that could never be
opened is into the game. Maybe it will turn out to be Albert
Wesker's long lost cryo-chamber room where he was conceived as an
infant. Hahaha... No, really. |

Agent
Hunk and the Tofu
At this point in time, Hunk and Tofu aren't really an easter egg
anymore. They've become more or less an underground cult hit within
the Resident Evil community. But, think back to 1998 when nobody
really knew anything about this. It would've been completely crazy
to see that after you got an A rating on A and B games of either
Claire or Leon that you just opened up a new campaign as an Umbrella
mercenary. If that's not enough, beat a scenario six more times and
then you will play as a walking, talking, sweating giant piece of
tofu with an edge carved out of it. He can't carry guns and can only
use the knife. Isn't this some crazy stuff? We would later find out
more information about Hunk, but Tofu has been lost with the times.
Perhaps one of these days he will make his remarkable comeback. |

Nemesis
lands on the body of Mr. X
At the end of Resident Evil 3, you are no less just roaming
around looking at random things so there's a pretty big chance that
you didn't even notice the large corpse of Mr. X lying in a pile of
trash near the door. As a matter of fact, Nemesis plops down right
on top of it! Despite all of this, I know speaking for myself that I
completely missed this every single time that I had played the game.
Maybe I'm just blind, but the background is a little too dark. Once
you realize that the corpse is there, it's actually pretty easy to
find after that. At any rate, we're not sure if this is the same Mr.
X that haunts Leon and Claire in scenario B of Resident Evil 2, or
if this was just a lonely wanderer roaming Raccoon City. At any
rate, it gets "disposed" of eventually, if you know what I mean. |

Barry
Burton finally gets some respect.. sort of
After Resident Evil 1, you see Barry Burton diddling with his
guns on the helicopter in the ending sequence. After that, we don't
see him again until Resident Evil 3 when he picks Jill up in another
helicopter at the very end of the game. Unfortunately, you have to
do certain things during your play through to even get this special
cut scene. So, we're wondering why all the hate on Barry? He was
there to help us through the Spencer Estate and he barely gets
a mention between 2 and 5. If you count Gaiden, he's a co-main
character but who really credits that, honestly? At the time of this
writing, Burton has only appeared in three of the long line of
Resident Evil games. The hell's up with that? |

Albert
Wesker zombie!
In the Sega Saturn version of Resident Evil 1, you can play a
battle mode in which a timer ticks away as you pass each room as
fast as you can. You'll come across numerous enemies from the game,
but nothing will prepare you for the zombified version of Albert
Wesker himself! It usually takes 3-5 magnum shots to take him down,
but sometimes you'll get lucky and put him out of his misery with
just one. This is a pretty interesting find, as it was brought to
our attention. Seriously, who plays Resident Evil on the Sega Saturn
anyways? I guess this easter egg just had it coming.

Leon
S. Kennedy infected in Resident Evil: Gaiden
After you have destroyed the B.O.W. tyrant for the final time
and the Starlight Cruiseship has sunk into the ocean, the three
survivors rejoice as the mission has been completed. Barry and Lucia
exchange some dialogue while Leon radios back to headquarters and
informs them that the mission was a success. Seconds after this, the
screen zooms in onto Kennedy's neck where you see a cut and green
blood oozing from the wound. This was the trademark of the B.O.W.
throughout the game, because it could mimick anybody it touched.
Shortly after the game was released, it was announced as non-canon
obviously, because Resident Evil 4 would come out several years
later. Not very many people know about Kennedy's infection because
the game didn't sell very good and is considered one of the worst in
the entire series. BTW, what's up with his grandpa lips? |
