*Potential Spoilers*




Not sure how many there necessarily are but I've always loved the end scene in Predator 2 when Danny Glover boards the Predator ship and their is an Alien skull in the Predator's trophy case.



What are you favorites or some other notable movie "nods"?

Close Encounters when the Mother Ship played the Jaws theme for a second and Dreyfuss looked spooked as hell.

Also, though not a big Oblivion fan, the cabin scene where one of his trinkets was a set of Top Gun shades was pretty funny.

Coming to America when Prince Akeem hands money to the homeless guys.

The homeless guys being the Dukes from Trading Places.

Maverick, when Danny Glover comes in to rob the bank and he and Mel Gibson suspect they recognize each other. Then Danny Glover gets on his horse and says, "I'm getting too old for this shite."

In the convenience store (Ultimart) scene of Grosse Pointe Blank, there is a cardboard cutout of Vincent and Jules from Pulp Fiction.

There are also multiple James Bond references in the film, including a muzak version of the theme song Live and Let Die in the Ultimart scene.

In Get Him to the Greek there was a commercial for a new show Sarah Marshall was in and Brand's character (forgot his name) said something like - I used to hit that.

Well Brand plays the same character in both movies. It's sort of an indirect sequel to Sarah Marshall.

Fassbender exercising and passing time while the crew slept was a nice nod to Kubrick. I hope so anyway.

There's a copy of Scream 1 on top of a tv in Scream 2, which I always found hilarious.

That's odd since the franchise did have it's own movie version of itself in the movie

Untouchables baby carriage on stairs nod to Eisensteins Battleship Potemkin was the only thing I could think off- some ones I forgot about in this thread and some ones I didn't even realize.

TV Show - "Californication" when Hank is going to court, in a suit, and says something like "I feel like a fricking FBI agent."

The Mel Brooks thread made me think of another one. In Spaceballs in the scene where they get the tape so they can fast forward the movie.. when they choose the Spaceballs tape all the other movies are Brooks' movies.

Not sure of my favorite, but worth meationing is R2-d2 and possibly 3PO in Raiders.


Look closely at the hieroglyphs in the Well of Souls.

They DID say it happened a long time ago....
