Self-referencing film[]

Outside Grill 13 lies a small movie theater. This theater is advertising a film entitled "Biohazard 4". The poster shows the American box art from the second game. This is a reference to the series, which is known as "Biohazard" in Japan. When Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was released in 1999, early development of Resident Evil 4 was also going on; this became Devil May Cry, however.

Burger Kong[]

There are several advertising of Burger Kong, a fast food restaurant in Raccoon City; this is a nod to Burger King.

Super Tyrant figurine[]

In the Boutique, there's a figurine of a T-103's Super Tyrant form.

7 Down[]

"7 Down" advertisements are found throughout of Uptown; this is a nod to 7 Up.

JoJo[]

In the west office of the Raccoon Police Station, there's a name on the lockers saying "JoJo", a reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.[1]

Chocha-Cola![]

A vending machine with a brand name "Chocha-Cola" can be found in the operations conference room, in reference to Coca-Cola.

Racco Bell[]

There are is a sign hanging near a door in the shopping district alley with the name "Racco Bell", a possible nod to Taco Bell.

Back to the Future[]

There is a ruined DeLorean DMC-12 with an American flag draped over it in front of the gas station's garage, a possible reference to the Back to the Future series of movies.

I love you, Shinji Mikami[]

If one looks closely at the Exit button in the Epilogue, under it reads, very illegible, "I Love You, Shinji Mikami, Return to Menu!".

Dino Crisis[]

A poster for Dino Crisis can be seen in the hospital lobby against the corpses of the Army Special Forces soldiers. Additionally you can wear Regina's outfit from the game complete with her red hair.

CAPCOM[]

In the place where you will get the Fire Hose, you can see the word CAPCOM above the door.

Subliminal Messages[]

When getting the Future Compass (near the Grill 13 restaurant), you can read in the plaques, the words "SNAILIVIC TSUM EVOMER GOD TNEMERCXE" (Downsided) or when read backwards, it says "CIVILIANS MUST REMOVE DOG EXCREMENT". It is believed that this might have been a sign recycled from the beta version of the game, or just a joke from the developers. You can also read the "full" version of that message after you've exited the warehouse (the place with sitting zombie). The message says "DOGS, BE ON LEASH AND OWNERS MUST REMOVE DOG EXCREMENT."

Poster[]

A poster in the Y-shaped alley reads:

  "Big E concert:
September 30th.
Starts at 7:30 PM."

Someone mentioned this (from here): https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/danp5y/hope_everyone_remembered_to_get_tickets/
"The game was set in September of '98, and was release in Japan in '99. I'm assuming it's a reference to the Notorious B.I.G. aka Biggie as a tribute to him."
