History Fridge / ResidentEvil4

* All the ganados have red eyes because of the effects of Las Plagas except for Bitores who only has [[MismatchedEyes one red eye]]. It turns out one eye didn't turn because it's a glass eye. In a turn of FridgeLogic however, when you pick up the glass eye it's red.

** Although good advice for the player in general, this is likely a hint for a very late part in the game where you fight Krauser: he shoots you with a TMP from afar but when he is close to you starts using his knife and dodging your bullets. The best way to fight him in this close encounter situation is to use the ''knife''.

* Regenerator's strained, rapid breath? Hyperventilation. It's HyperactiveMetabolism requires massive amounts of oxygen. This also explains why they try to ''eat'' Leon: they need energy. Hell, they may even be sapient, but [[HorrorHunger very, very hungry.]]

* Occasionally, when you bust open a box there will be a venomous snake inside. These boxes were previously nailed shut which means that somewhere, somehow, there is a Ganado ''boxing snakes'' presumably just to screw with Leon.

*** Then again, his mooks aren't he sharpest tools in the box. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard They often blow themselves up when using dynamite.]]
*** There are sometimes eggs inside these crates. The boxes might have holes, the snake crawls in, eats the egg and then takes a nap inside or finds it comfy or whatever.

*** In fact, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg-eating_snake snakes do swallow eggs whole]]. Why they can't squash them within their stomachs in-game eludes me. At the other hand, these may be the snake eggs...

*** Presumably to amplify hearing. If one of your senses fails, the others become better to somehow make up for it. Garradors could then be used in total darkness with no loss of effectiveness. The reason they are chained up is because they lacked the neccesary stealth aspect, by being completely crazy. Probably because someone gauged out their eyeballs.

* Wait, what exactly was Salazar planning to do ''after'' he killed Leon?

* A bit meta but how can the S.T.A.R.S. prosecute you for pirating this game if Raccoon City is nothing more than ash and particulate left behind after the nuclear explosion?

* Leon knows Spanish. All the letters that are left around are in Spanish, but we as the players simply see Leon translating it in his head. That's why all the Ganado leave letters all around: they assume he's American and won't be able to read them. If you think about it, he is quickly to say "Hasta luego" when he thinks he's going to kill Mendez, which suggests that he does know Spanish. Not to mention that the government would hardly send in an agent who had no idea of the local language.

** Not really. Their eyes glow red at night, but are blue in the daytime. His red one was the falsie.

* Salazar claims to be twelve years old, despite looking like an elderly midget. As it turns out, he ''was'' infected when he was a child, and is barely twenty years old by the time of the game. He speaks predominantly like an adult, but the FridgeHorror kicks in when Leon impales Salazar's hand with a thrown knife: he sobs exactly as you'd expect a child to, and exactly as you'd think it would sound. Salazar might seem like a JerkAss, but he's little more than a child who was corrupted by Saddler. And you killed him.
** Yes, we killed the monster that was trying to eat us. We're horrible, aren't we. Should've just given the murderous little bastard a hug and everything would've been fine.

*** That would make sense, except that in that case, why don't they ever deploy a Garrador in complete darkness? It's kind of a shame, because imagine that double-Garrador fight if they'd also snuffed all the torches; you have your belt light, so it'd still be doable, but it would have been a lot scarier. Also, the Ganados don't seem any less effective in the dark. I'd be willing to bet their glowing red eyes let them see.
* Why the hell does the stock for the Mauser C96 (or [[{{AKA47}} Red 9]]) does takes up space in inventory? You already have the gun, the holster shouldn't take additional space, right? [[http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Mauser_C96_M1916_Red_9_5.JPG Here]] is the gun holstered. [[http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Mauser_C96_M1916_Red_9_7.JPG Here]] is the gun with the stock mounted on. The Holster and the stock are one and the same.

** Ada eventually applies the advice when a possessed Leon starts choking her; rather than shoot Leon and risk killing him, she sticks him in the leg with a stiletto she'd been packing.

* Actually, it's S.T.A.R.S. that's gonna get you. Maybe other towns have a S.T.A.R.S. team as well. Either that, or Barry Burton is going to come and kick your ass.
