However, the way the film animates his flowing black robes in the film seems intentionally evocative of how Don Bluth drew such robes on Nicodemus in The Secret of NIMH (1982). – Halliday’s OASIS alter-ego Anorak looks vaguely wizard-y, like Merlin or Gandalf.
– Also seen getting gutted on Planet Doom is a cameoing avatar as Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th movies. *(We shall henceforth refer to Aech in the OASIS as “he,” and in the real world as “she,” as the character seems to want to be approached in both realities.) To be specific the Freddy Krueger first played by Robert Englund in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), although fans’ favorite variation on the big bad came in Part III: Dream Warriors. – When we meet Aech on Planet Doom, he* is seen blasting Freedy Krueger into space buck coins. – Also during this sequence, commenter David Thiel spotted the Cyclops from Ray Harryhausen’s The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958). You know back before the franchise’s diminished returns. – During the opening montage, among the avatars filling up the OASIS portal terminals Z traverses is the original RoboCop from 1987.
#MEANING OF ONE AND ALL MOVIE#
But not just any Batman… it’s Michael Keaton’s Batman from the Tim Burton classic of 1989! (For more superhero movie references after this point, please scroll down to the superhero movie reference’s subsection. – In the opening montage of what you can do in the OASIS, the first actual homage appears to be Batman climbing Mount Everest. Granted it will be almost impossible to get them all in the first pass, so if you notice that we missed anything, let us know in the comments section below, or yell at me on Twitter, and we’ll course correct. In that vein, we here at Den of Geek will attempt the fool’s errand of compiling every single nod, shoutout, and joyful wink to nerd culture that has been stuffed into the very seams of this unapologetically geeky movie (*NOTE: Movie and not the book). The film might be set in 2045, but it’s good to know that the future is just as obsessed with Gen-X and Millennial culture as we are today! While Steven Spielberg was able to infuse a creative spark into the film that allowed it to stand on more than only pure nostalgia, there is no denying that the immediate hook of Ernest Cline’s novel and the subsequent Spielberg blockbuster is its cornucopia of movie references, video game easter eggs, and pop culture homages to all things ‘80s (and in the film’s case, ‘90s too).
