It is estimated that there are as many easter eggs in this film as "Invincible Destruction King"~
famous car exhibition
In this picture, the protagonist sports car Mach Five in the animation "Speed Racer" (Speed Racer) appears on the left , and there is a red and black truck in front of it, which seems to be an action car in "Dragon Commando" . On the right side of the screen, there is a "V8 Interceptor" from " Mad Max" . Also close to the camera is a Batmobile, from the 1960s Adam West TV series The A-Team .
And don't miss out, the strong white guy next to Mach 5 is the first male protagonist "Ryu " in "Street Fighter" .
DeLorean
In the virtual world "Oasis", there is a place called "Zemeckis" , where the protagonist Wade got a "DeLorean" . "DeLorean" is the car used by Martin and the Doctor to travel through time in the 1985 sci-fi movie "Back to the Future" , and Steven Spielberg is the producer of "Back to the Future" The filmmaker, Zemeckis is the director of the film.
As in the original, the car also features a red progress bar on the front of the Knight Rider classic.
celebrity bar
In the bar shot, pay attention to the dance of Chun Li and Blanca from "Street Fighter" behind Art3mis, the woman in red .
The one-inch man in armor on the left side of the screen is the protagonist of the game "Mass Effect" John Shepard (John Shepard) .
Lara , the heroine of "Tomb Raider" , who walks into the camera on the right , looks more excited and must have a big drink.
Another less popular, the red cylindrical hat on the bartender's head is from the "energy dome" designed by the punk band Devo in the 80s .
Jobs
The "Jobs" mentioned in the newspaper, of course, refers to the founder of Apple - Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) . In the film, James Halliday, the founder of the virtual world "Oasis", is a big man comparable to Steve Jobs.
Simon
James Halliday , played by Mark Rylance , issued a will, as long as he finds the easter egg set by him in "Oasis", he can become One Piece (mistakenly)... the new richest man in the world. Note a badge logo on James' clothes, derived from "Simon" , a memory game in the seventies and eighties .
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not. Organ Morrow, another founder of "Oasis" in the story, is also called Simon, and he is Simon Pegg .
Mortal Kombat
Where James placed the eggs, two dragon-shaped statues appeared, very similar to the logo of the action game Mortal Kombat .
Akira
This red motorcycle is from the classic sci-fi animation "Akira" directed by Youyang Da Ke in 1988 .
Pay attention to the logo of the TV series "Wonder Woman" in the 1970s, and the logo of the second hero of the TV series "The Strongest American Hero" in the early 1980s. Below is the logo of the game "Miss Pac-Man" . , the other side of the motorcycle also has the logo of Taito Games (TAITO) , which produces games including "Elevator Wars", "Bubble Bobble" and "Little Bee".
Robocop
In this picture, in addition to Akira motorcycles, there is also an American monster truck "Bigfoot" in the 1980s . Notice the billboard in the background, which was featured in the 1987 sci-fi classic RoboCop. Does that mean the half-human, half-machine Murphy will be in the movie?
King Kong
I believe this scene is familiar to everyone. The picture of Gorilla King Kong jerking off at the top of the Empire State Building is believed to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
ninja frog
Most of the characters in this scene are illegible, but it can be seen that the characters walking ahead are Rash , Zits , and Pimple , the three main characters of Battletoads . "Ninja Frog" was produced by Rare in 1991. It is one of the most classic, most difficult and most creative action games on red and white machines.
love to the depths
In the trailer, the protagonist raises the portable stereo with both hands, reminiscent of the classic passage of the 80s youth comedy "Say Anything..." . There is also a reference to the film in the original novel.
Joker and Harley
In the preview trailer, Harley Quinn can be seen walking with Deathstroke , and this time Harley appears with the "original" Joker . Harley's look appears to be from the game "Batman: Arkham Asylum" , while the Joker's look is a combination of Heath Ledger 's face and a hat from the comic book The Deadly Joke .
Tracer
Although the trailer contains a lot of cultural elements of the 80s, because the film is set in a future world, our modern pop culture has also become the nostalgic culture of that time. In the following scene, the character "Tracer" , a favorite of gamers in recent years, appeared from the shooting game " Overwatch" produced by Blizzard in 2016 .
Next to Tracer is Chun Li from Street Fighter , and behind them (from left to right) Laura from Tomb Raider and Snake from Metal Gear Solid And the female version of Shepard in Mass Effect .
dead shot
This scene appears in the DC Comics Deadshot (Deadshot).
And the boxer Sagat from Street Fighter .
Gundam
There will be a variety of giant robots in "Player One", including Japan's most famous Mobile Suit Gundam . The first-generation Gundam RX-78-2 , which is famous in the history of Gundam, appears in the trailer .
ghost baby
Chucky , the terrifying ghost baby from the "Ghost Baby" series, appeared in the trailer, jumping up and down to kill people like a numb, and Qinggong is quite impressive.
steel giant
Following the advance trailer, the steel giant reappeared, and I believe it is a character of considerable weight. "The Iron Giant" is a 1999 animated film directed and written by Brad Bird and dubbed by Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., Vin Diesel and others.
