Well, this is obviously going to be deleted by mod soon, so, hey.
Did y'all know that the whole entire character of Rebecca Chambers was created SOLELY ONLY because Mikami was a massive Homowood nerd in the 80's and 90's, and was schlicking HARD on "Murder By Death" (1976's Mel Brooks'esque absurdist black comedy), and also Alien and Aliens?
Rebecca Chambers literally has same exact mannerisms and behavioral quirks/patterns (like the memetic "thumbs up" gesture, for one) as the ones Rebecca "Newt" Jorden was doing in Aliens, and the entire friggin' Umbrella Lab section of first game is just a straight up copy-pasta shot-for-shot of Alien's and Aliens' ending sequence, all while 3D models of "flamethrowers" in first two games are ill-notorious for being just direct traces of flamethrowers from Alien and Aliens (not just "inspired by", but directly recreated 1-to-1 in 3D model form). Meanwhile, nearly 60% of all "puzzle" and "trap" rooms in first game are just direct copy-pasta of "Murder By Death" (such as the memetic "falling ceiling room", "poison room", "animal head room", and even the "diner room"), as well as the overall "feel" of the mansion itself.
And that's while not even mentioning that visually and physically Rebecca Chambers is straight up JUST Uchida Yuki (as nearly entire Japanese gamedev scene and industry was VERY "into her" in the late 80's and all through the 90's):
