Max Max (2015)
Ruined plane (Beyond Thunderdome)
Going off track.
Not perfect, but good enough.
Braveheart
When Max activates 'de nitrous', Chumbucket often yells "Freedom!"
Fallout 3
The Lone Wanderer and his dog on back art looks remarkably similiar to still from Mad Max: The Road Warrior.
Sneaky fuckers.
A few more visual refs.
Them!
Optional side quest infested with fire ants is named Those!
Die Hard
Bryan Wilks bitches about the fallout shelter:
"Now I know what a TV dinner feels like."
Cool Hand Luke
Rory McLaren is sure "Nobody can eat fifty eggs."
The Terminator
During The Pitt add-on, one dialogue option states: "Your clothes. Give them to me. Now."
Dr. Strangelove
"Now I bet they're after me! Oh God! I gotta hide. I gotta go."
The Thing (1982)
Robert Joseph MacCready is called RJ.
Apocalypse Now!
Mr Gutsy often says "There is nothing I like better than the smell of plasma in the morning."
Army of Darkness
Upon encountering Moira after she becomes a ghoul, a dialogue choice is: "Moira, don't take this the wrong way, but you got ugly real fast."
The Princess Bride
Moira patches up the Lone Wanderer in the Wasteland Survival Guide sub-quest and asks how the pain feels.
"And remember, this is for posterity!"
Street Fighter
Entering Little Lamplight for the first time and chatting to Mayor MacCready brings the line "The day I showed up here is the best day of your life. For me, it was Tuesday."
Jurassic Park
Sega's 1993 on-rails lightgun shmup of same name kicks things off.
Obviously brought in as an 'attack', Brachiosaurus sneezing was inspired by 'veggiesaurus' doing the same thing to Lex.
When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth
Finally.
Blood
Blood 2: The Chosen
Toonstruck
Saints Row 2
Metal Slug 3
I'm not really sure about this one.
Which may be a nod to:
Dinosaurs for Hire
Reasonably obscure Mega Drive run and gun is adapted from Tom Mason's short-lived comic series.
Archie's favourite movie is King Kong and last book he read was Jurassic Park.
Also.
Lorenzo's cinematic treat is The Sound of Music and Reese is a fan of Terminator, Terminator II and 'hopes for' Terminator III.
Monster got his wish in 2003.
Partial boss rush.
Gex
Big Trouble in Little China and Jason Vorhees (complete with Freddy-esque gloves)
Lollipop Chainsaw
Brilliant.
Pulp Fiction
Defeat Zed to achieve Zed's Dead, Baby. Zed's Dead.
Ghostbusters
I Came, I Saw, I* Kicked Its Ass
*I substitutes We.
Dirty Harry
Kill Mariska for Dirty Hippy to flash up.
Until Dawn
Trophies. Trophies. Trophies.
Don't Scare to Jessica to Death (Let's Scare Jessica to Death)
Scream Too! (Scream 2)
The Quicker Man (The Wicker Man)
You Let the Wrong One In! (Let the Right One In)
The Tale of Two Sisters (A Tale of Two Sisters)
Ashley Snaps (Ginger Snaps)
Yeah, I think that's enough.
Miscellany
Hello ma baby.
I might be talking bilge, but Chun-Li's victory quote I'm the stongest woman in the world could be reffing The Strongest Man in the World.
Segment of Paul's ending in Tekken 6 recreates Enter the Dragon.
Until next time.
