Best thread ever - thanks for everyone's posts - keep them coming

Watchmen 2009-

The first scene in the superlative opening montage is crammed to the brim with Batman references! First of all, there are the old-school Batman posters on the wall. Then on the top-left of the theatre’s notice board, the word Gotham is clearly legible. Finally, the production showing at the theatre is shown to be Die Fledermaus. Translation? “The Bat".

 

It actually goes deeper than that. Supposedly, the goon that Night Owl is punching out is none other than Joe Chill. That startled-looking couple on the left are Mr and Mrs Wayne.

Kirsten Dunst runs by Thomas Jane (dressed in black looking like The Punisher) during her "Runaway Bride" scene in Spider-Man 2. That truly is a blink and you missed it scene.

Near the beginning of Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones meets up with crime lord Lao Che to trade ashes for a diamond, and where better to make an illicit, double-crossing trade than internationally renowned Club Obi Wan

Haven't watched that movie since I saw it the first time in the theatre.

 

Time for a re viewing.

See You Next Wednesday!

 

Landis originally got the idea for See You Next Wednesday from the 1968 movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey. It is the last line spoken by Frank Poole's father during Poole's videophone conversation with his parents.

 

Cool!

 

it effects John Landis so deeply that he includes it in a ton of his movies? That’s the story. He even wrote a -script with that title, and it’s something that needs to be made immediately.

 

From his first movie, Schlock, to An American Werewolf in London (where it’s a non-stop orgy of a porno) to The Blues Brothers to The Kentucky Fried Movie (where SYNW is a soap opera in “feel-around”) to Trading Places (where Jamie Lee Curtis gets a little pornographic in front its poster) to the Michael Jackson “Thriller” video…he used it a ton. It should also be noted that Landis therefore also included a ton of movie posters in his movies in general. Dude is a huge movie fan. Time to watch his entire catalog and see if you can spot all the SYNW references.

That SOTL poster made me think of Anothony Hopkins' performance in Magic (1978).

 

Not really an easter egg, but reading later that Hopkins actually mastered ventriloquism, that he's playing both parts in real time, made that movie 100X more disturbing.

 

Is "Scarface" in Batman modeled after this? Hopkins is creepy as hell, way more "insane" than in Silence of the Lambs imho.

 

Here's a clip. (watch his throat as they argue back and forth)

 

 

I forgot that I've watched that movie...probably as a kid and that movie is likely the reason I've always been terrified of those ventriloquist dolls.

When Tony looks through his father's case in Iron Man 2, you can briefly spot a copy of Captain America Comics #1,

Fantastic thread! I'm wracking my brain for more of these!

From the movie "Tangled" -

Not a widely held secret but early in Fight Club before his character is introduced Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) blinks on the screen a few times:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can't post the picture of this one, but there is an interesting frame at the end of fight club, right before the credits.

Here's a Pixar Easter Eggs website where they had characters from some of their movies in other movies - Easter Eggs

I was looking on the internet for that one but couldn't find it.

In the show "Home Improvement" you can see Jonathon Taylor Thomas plying with stuffed Simba animal. (He did the voice for the Youthful Simba)

 

In the show "Mad About You" in a conversation where Helen Hunt and I believe her sister were talking about the Alien movie franchise and the actor Paul Reiser interrupted stating he only saw the first one. Funny being as he acted and died in the "Aliens" movie.

 

In the show "Will and Grace" Jack McFarland is conducting an acting class where James Earl Jones is one of the students. Jack told James that he couldn't act and in James' defense he said, "Like I need this in my age, I've got Darth Vader money!".
