*The death of Joseph is portrayed very differently in the original [[1996]] version of ''[[Resident Evil (1996 game)|Resident Evil]]''. In the original game, Joseph searches the surrounding area for any clues as to the whereabouts of Bravo team, and discovers a pistol held by a severed human hand lying in the grass. In the uncut intro, he manages to kill a few of the Cerberuses, before being bitten in the throat and eaten by the rest of the pack.
 
*Joseph, [[Edward Dewey]] and [[Brad Vickers]] are characters not playable in ''[[Resident Evil: Deadly Silence]]''. This is because the trio have no in-game character model for the game.
 
*Joseph wielded a customized Mossberg M590 in the remake.
