What Movie References Have You Found?
Every time I play people probably think I’m a reference to the movie Idiocracy
Pvt. Joe Bauers: Why me? Every time Metsler says, ‘Lead, follow, or get out of the way,’ I get out of the way.

The rabbit in the uncategorized fractal is probably a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I mentioned this in another thread regarding a random NPC in Lions Arch that says “By Ogden’s Hammer, what savings!” and I attribute this to being a direct relationship to this scene from Galaxy Quest:
| [Free Ports For All “Not So Secret” JP Needs (and 1st Try Dive Tips)] |
| [Classic Thread: “all is vain”] |
There’s the obvious Indiana Jones reference in the Loreclaw Expanse jumping puzzle.
I’m sorry I stepped outta yer box, don’ worry, if
ya whine enough they’ll put me right back.
Friendly rabbits still remind me of Monty Python even if they aren’t a direct reference
A couple day’s ago I quoted an 80’s movie reference (They Live) while about to fight a boss. The next morning in Metrica Province I actually saw a golem say near the exact same quote (a word was changed due to being a cuss word but was still an awesome find. What Movie refrences have you seen ingame?
Here’s the movie quote and the pic of the golem quoting him.
Hey from that video I thought that was a Duke Nukem quote….
correct me if I am wrong…
if it was, Duke Nukem refrenced the movie also then. It’s a movie that came out sometime in the late 80s.
The guy drinking at the hunting lodge in QD goes… Did I tell you that my wife is pregnant?… out of nowhere and the other guy says… what does that have to do with anything? To me, that’s a direct reference to The Room where in the middle of the party the main dude just randomly goes… everybody, we’re expecting! And then like runs away… and you’re left thinking like… whaaaa? What does that have to do anything at all with the scene?!
Surprised no one mentioned the “Goonies” Jumping puzzle yet.

Monty Python, Galaxy Quest and Blade Runner (in The Grove near the Lion’s Arch gate) are the three that obviously spring to mind.
RIP City of Heroes

5 page thread on this already!
One I posted there – in Harathi during a dynamic event a guy says “Clever girl” about a spider, just like in Jurassic Park.
The pirate ship at the end of the puzzle. I saw it.

Yeah, you get the deal.
Best one imo is definitely the end boss of Sorrows Embrace story.
When you kill the boss he fades into the lava giving a thumbs up referencing terminator 2
