Stranger Things really does an awesome job with 80’s references.

Just verified an awesome super subtle Easter egg.
When the military breaks in to the missile silo to go after El, the officer tells them to “quarter and search by twos”.

When I heard it I thought “that’s an unique phrase” and I knew I’d heard it before. I was pretty sure where.

Aliens. When they enter the atmosphere plant for the first time, Lieutenant Gorman tells the colonial marines that exact phrase.

That’s a deep cut and makes me love ST even more.

Hat's off to the Duffer Brothers.

The sirens going off and the shot of the bunker reminded me of Aliens a ton. That’s great.

The flamethrower bit in Russia reminded me of The Thing.

Then falling on the mattress in the upside down reminded me of Little Monsters.

In the finale of S4 during the scene when Max is in the hospital with Lucas, Lucas read aloud to Max 'The Talisman' by Stephen King and Pater Strab. That's a tease for Duffer Brothers' next Netflix project.

Robin’s crush Vickie had an unmistakeable Molly Ringwald vibe when she was at the gun show.

the storming of the bunker is a homage to the opening of a new hope.

When the girls went to visit victor creel in the psych ward, clearly they were alluding to Silence of the Lambs. Also just having Robert Englund play Victor was a nod to his work as Freddy Krueger and killing teens in their sleep. I also couldn’t help but think of It and Salem’s Lot with the whole plan to go on the offensive and kill the bad guy in its own sleep essentially. Vecna used their worst fears against them ala pennywise.

Pretty sure Murray said "I've got a bad feeling about this." when they were going back into the prison

When the military broke into the bunker all I could think about was Star Wars.

The way they guards lined the sides of the tube, an explosion and smoke with military rushing in followed by the Ominous general.

Pretty sure there is a scene in Alien 4 where Winona Ryder’s character wanders amongst alien hybrids in great big jars, just like she did at the prison in this episode.

Was just thinking with Paul Reiser in Aliens, maybe they’ll bring in Fred Savage or Kurt Russell in Season 5 Fred Savage would be awesome. It’s too bad Corey Feldman is batshit insane but he would’ve been an awesome addition somewhere along the way.

The one everyone missed. When Vecna can’t kill Max, he pulls out the ultimate D&D reference: Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies.

I’m pretty sure the officer also told “Hicks” to take the top level.

The sword Hopper uses is identical to the one in Conan the Barbarian.

Go back and rewatch S2E6. They go all in the Aliens references. The motion tracker noise, "Stay Frosty," "Game over, man. Game Over."
