    One more: Sex Bob-omb's ape avatar in the fight against the twins more closely resembles one of Kameo's forms in Rare's 360 game.

    I really think the "X" in the snow was related to a level in N64's GoldenEye.

    How about when scott is fighting Matthew Patel; Wallace says asks what he's wearing, "are you a pirate or what?" so him fighting scott (the ninja as in the arcade game) is the age old Pirate vs. Ninja debate!! :)

    **************SPOILERS! FROM HERE ON, IT'S EITHER YOUR OWN CURIOSITY OR STUPIDITY THAT LEADS YOU********************* I think that when Scott dies, it's a reference to Resident Evil 2 or 3, like when you die, it shows your character, and says "YOU ARE DEAD" (I think), it points to Scott and says "DEAD". I may be wrong, and someone may have said that already but, hey.

    You missed one.In one of the scenes, Scott is clearly wearing an Astro Boy T-shirt.

    Seems like the Ramona hammer scene is actually a reference to Meru from The Legend Of Dragoon

    Ever think the seven evil ex's are like the seven kids of Bowser in Mario 3?

    you also missed the part where scott punches roxy in the boob is pretty much the same move that makto from street fighter does

  • matthurley - November 18, 2010 7:52 a.m.

    it kinda feels like the "hey... HEY!' at the end of the dream sequence could be a reference to Navi...

    great fucking movie. You missed a reference though. When Scott & Ramona meet for the first time after he gets the package delivered. she says something like "I'm waiting on you" which is what kerrigan said in the first starcraft.

  • boondocks50 - November 15, 2010 1:01 a.m.

    what about the TMP thats seen before roxy hits the ground in the ally after being punched in the boob

  • CHAINSAWhaxor - November 14, 2010 7:05 p.m.

    At the very end, after the credits roll, a sprite version of Scott throws his arm up in the air and warps away , a reference to the Megaman series where Megaman/X does the same thing after defeating a Robot Master/Maverick

    OK, this is driving me nuts. The typeface that is used on Chaos Theatre Level 7 is from a game, and I can't for the life of me remember which one it is. It is so familiar it is driving me crazy.

    Great article Mantista! Saw it in theaters, and I am buying on Bluray. I have always liked Cera since Arrested Development. This movie fucking rocks.

  • linkuu128 - November 12, 2010 3:05 p.m.

    HI Chris, great article by the way.!! but you maybe dont know something from the movie since you dont see much super robots anime. the scene where scott take the sword from his chest its from the last battle on the anime MAZINKAISER. you can look for it on you tube.

  • camelfro - November 12, 2010 6:51 a.m.

    awesome article and an awesome movie too!

  • Heyexclamationpoint - November 12, 2010 5:18 a.m.

    bought the blu-ray today!

  • Sandwhich - November 12, 2010 3:05 a.m.

    Friggin' Awesome. Any article that has two pictures of NES Ducktales is a deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

  • TDUBBS - November 12, 2010 1:43 a.m.

    Recently saw the blu-ray and liked it, but this article kind of ruined the movie for me. most of these things seemed like cool references to gaming as a culture, but now that I know things like the names of places and the fighting stances are lifted from specific games it seems to demean the films creativity. Instead of being a clever and original movie, now it just looks like it is simply relying on references to gain the cult following I'm sure it will get. Not a bad movie, just not for me.

    Nice work. Thanks for the reminder that the Scott Pilgrim game is half price this week, I go buy now.
