I was surprised! It was definitely carried by Ryan Reynolds great acting. It was fun and funny. The pop culture fight at the end was cool too. I would watch it again.
Did you miss all of the Star Wars references Antoine made? Not just the "Padawan" and "Emperor" joke he made, but also when he told his guards to "Leave us." like Darth Vader did in Episode 5.
1:48 I’m pretty sure that coffee list could be nod to the constant difficulty setting in certain games where you can pick between very easy, easy, normal, hard, and very hard.
This film is UNREASONABLY GOOD. It has no right to be as amazing as it is. I laughed, I cried, I jumped with joy. It's exactly as unexpectedly good as The Lego Movie was when it came out.
How did Erik Voss and the team missed one of the most obvious references to John Carpenter’s “They Live”? In that movie characters could only see the reality of their world by putting on special glasses.
I love how people assumed this would be a lame movie, and then were pleasantly surprised. I, unfortunately, always knew this would be a fantastic movie. Easily one of the best films in the last few years.
Right?! It was on my calendar for the 2020 release. I don't put movies on my calendar lol. Video games, Ryan Reynolds, Taika Waititi. That's all I need to know. 😁
I loved how this movie was as much about game DESIGN as much as it was about game references themselves. From the blue sky default background to all the background stuff the attention to detail was on point.
@@imnotpicklerick1444 Well the portal gun used in the movie isn't necessarily designed to look exactly like the Aperture Science Portal Gun but it's still a reference to Portal nonetheless.
This is a hilarious movie with a beautiful story, a lot of "reference movies" come across as lazy cash-grabs, and I was worried that this would be one of them, but it was the complete opposite. You could remove every reference and still have an amazing movie.
The mech walking by at the beginning is actually a Mantis from the Halo series. Another vehicle Erik skipped over is the Warthog that races by in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment.
I feel like Jacksepticeye being in this movie was all he needed after the passing of his father, and the stress of the other events in his life at the moment.
This movie was made over year before it was released, and the date on Jack’s videos in the movie date late 2020. His dad passed late January this year. And the movie was supposed to be released 6 months before his dad passed. I get your sentiment but still.
Loved the glitches. So funny. Several times I saw either players "practicing" in the background...Just jumping up and down...or maybe an NPC glitching.
Everything about this movie was so good: It was filmed in Boston first of all, Chris Evans cameo, Caps shield, Hulks fist, Avengers theme, a lightsaber, Star Wars theme, Infinity War poster, tons of references and meta jokes about game development and other stuff, the game was literally based around GTA, Ryan Reynolds is the perfect person to play an NPC, it had the portal gun, GMOD gravity gun, so many things
Came on here to say the same thing! Compared to the bombastic action blockbusters we've had this summer, this is the most heartfelt, funny, tear jerking and downright enjoyable movie of all.
7:20 I really want to say that the Joust poster might have been a Ready Player One reference, from the book at least, I don't recall if it was in the movie.
The joust solution was not in the movie, they changed it to the race scene. In the movie, rp1, the pork chop express is the semi that jackknifes in the race. Lol Another one full of hidden references
First, bolts on the doors would be a reference to the fact in most games there are just hundreds of doors that you can never open, no matter what you do. Second, the Gin is most likely Aviation Gin, Reynolds gin company.
He doesn't own it anymore, it was sold in 2020 - A year before the film was released The reason it is in it is because the movie was filmed in 2019, when he was still owner. So in reality it ended up being free advertising for something he didn't own anymore.
No more fortnight when you think about why there’s weapons that are based off of license characters or just makes sense I know technically they do hack it with like mods but it is a GTA with some Fortnite influence
I've watched this film 3 times at least now and just keeps getting better every time. In a world where all we seem to get right now is reboots or squeals it's so great even with all Easter eggs from other things that this film feels so original.
Loved this film, but I don't know what the Paperman soundtrack is, but I'm curious so it'll be awesome if you explain it to me like I'm a caveman or something😅
3:33 the gin bottle was Aviation Gin which is owned by Ryan Reynolds. Also pretty sure I saw Deadpool fly by on a scooter in this scene, but not 100% sure on that. And supprised there was no mention of the Paperman soundtrack which played frequently throughout the end of the movie. They kinda mirrored the Paperman ending towards the end when Keys runs after Millie.

It's not Fortnite style, but more like GTA online. And the parachute just looks based on the Fortnite one. 9:18 and I would call that the Physics Gun. The one that's in Gmod
@@Stefan_Penninga not really. i’ve watched movies during lockdown & when the cinemas reopened i went straight away. i’ve been the movies multiple times before i saw this movie so no..
At 2:08 that giant robot I think is the mech from fortnite a while back. The directors and producers said that they were basing it off on gta, fortnite, and lot of different games
They should've used the *energy sword from Halo* in the movie, that thing is iconic🔥 also talking about Halo, is the 1000 horse power Warthog they recently build in the movie?
First minute, all I could think was “So Deadpool wishes he could be Gambit. But Gambit wishes he just had a movie.” I wonder if they use Tatum specifically for that. 🤔🤣
This film was so good, I loved the references and I just overall loved this film. The only thing that made Ready Player One better for me was that it’s retro. Touchwood, they’re actually starting to make good video game films, including original ideas
@3:41 - Can we acknowledge how much Keys looks like Ilya Prusikin from the band 'Little Big'? 😄 Also, at 8:42, in Chris Evans's cameo, when he says "What the shit?!" It's a nod to when Deadpool responds to hearing Negasonic Teeange Warhead's name, saying, "Negasonic teenage, what the shit?! That's the coolest thing ever!" 😉
3:31 That is probably a bottle of Aviation Gin, of which Ryan Reynolds serves as a spokesperson and owns a stake. 4:23 I didn’t catch that one, but it is a nice easter egg to his wife and their playful relationship.
I appreciate the thought of the sky under the world but to be nitpicky, it would technically be a repeating simple textures with maybe the face of a developper as an easter eggs somewhere

It was the best part of the movie
totally agree, it like bring the love to another level.
It was surprisingly good, just like the entire film!

This is why Waititi is an excellent canidate to helm the next Star Wars movies. His attention to detail and lore knowledge.

what do mean no right to be amazing?
How did Erik Voss and the team missed one of the most obvious references to John Carpenter’s “They Live”? In that movie characters could only see the reality of their world by putting on special glasses.
Exactly.
I really thought they were going to have an unnecessary long fight over that.
I was thinking that too .
I like actually smiled very brightly when Buddy came back at the very end. That made me SO happy

Konami and Kojima situation as well
This is basically Gta online but one of the NPCs becomes self aware

That sounds even beter
Well no shit Sherlock.
which, if that happened, would be scary as hell
Then Gta Online changes to Sims game

Off topic but Im just no realized Erik called DanTDM "DanDTM". Kinda funny lol
They could've easily messed up this movie, but no, they went the full mile, and I love them for it.
i kept seeing ‘player glitches’ and it was so cool to see lmao
It almost looked like one of the players was trying to exploit a glitch, when they kept jumping into the wall, and then suddenly moved upward
@@konradk1066 I noticed that too but I thought the player was just being dumb and running into the wall.
To me it looked like someone’s controller died

TH-camr Cameo's,
I almost screamed when I rewatched the film and seeing the Mega-Buster from the classic MegaMan series

"Dan DTM" I'm dying Erik 😂🤣
This film had no right being as heartfelt yet hilarious as it was! Missed The Rock cameo, thanks as always Mr. Voss.
Came on here to say the same thing! Compared to the bombastic action blockbusters we've had this summer, this is the most heartfelt, funny, tear jerking and downright enjoyable movie of all.

Another one full of hidden references
“DanDTM”

Same lol
Dan Diamond The Minecart, still sorta fits
Yes, I agree!

There's also another easter egg where the pink rabbit cop says "Get Over Here", a famous line of word by Ed Boon/Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.
First, bolts on the doors would be a reference to the fact in most games there are just hundreds of doors that you can never open, no matter what you do. Second, the Gin is most likely Aviation Gin, Reynolds gin company.
*insert 'let me in! let me iaaegaghegh!!! meme here*
Looks like a sliding door to me though. It’s got an inset handle
Was kinda disappointed that Jacksepticeye’s coffee company wasn’t mentioned
Yes, in another shot you see the front of the bottle-it is aviation gin!
He doesn't own it anymore, it was sold in 2020 - A year before the film was released
The reason it is in it is because the movie was filmed in 2019, when he was still owner.
So in reality it ended up being free advertising for something he didn't own anymore.
Honestly that Chris Evan scene is just so hilarious, can't stop watching it
Is that a glock in your pocket..?
No.. It’s two glocks.
Loved that scene!! 👏🏻😂
Seemed like a clear nod to the motorcycle scene from Knight and Day to me.
3:25 Wow never thought I would see Elanip's heist clip in NR's video!!
This was much better than I expected. Kudos to Ryan Reynolds.
1:56 - in the coffee shop, the glass building number above door says 56 which is also the same number as the video clip that shows the glitch.
Best. Cameos. Ever.
You said, bigger on the inside, TARDIS REFRENCE!!!!! 3:48
That first mech you pointed out was a mantis from halo 4/5 just like the scorpion tank later in the movie 😁
There is also a warthog (4/5 version) after the mantis scene!
And 2:49 is a totally different tank too lol
CORRECTION! The tank aiming at him in the coffee shop is actually a M1A2 Abrams
Just figured I’d point that out
The visuals of this movie were so great
7:30 i don't think that gesture is what you think it is lmao
"Fortnite style game"
I'd say more GTA.
Yup
@Latest Obsession yup
All the way up to the "hot coffee" reference 👍🏾
No more fortnight when you think about why there’s weapons that are based off of license characters or just makes sense I know technically they do hack it with like mods but it is a GTA with some Fortnite influence

My expectations for this movie were just kind of ehh, but when I actually watched this I was blown away!!! 8 or 9 out of 10!
Just saw it, no mentioning the Paperman soundtrack? That's almost the biggest clue the office worker (Keys) is the true love behind it all.

At 2:08 that giant robot I think is the mech from fortnite a while back. The directors and producers said that they were basing it off on gta, fortnite, and lot of different games
2:50 is NOT the Halo Scorpion tank, but rather just ur regular M1A2 Abrams sitting in the street.
Favorite movie of the year. Channing Tatum and Ryan reynolds in the same movie hopefully it's a tease for deadpool and gambit in the future.
Actually the robot stomping in the background at the start of the movie is a mantis from halo
i thought it was from robocop lol
Bruh I know lol it was so funny when he was just stared guessing what it was
Chris Evans: What the Shit!
Me: What the f**k
2:09 That could be the mantis from halo 4 and 5.
It 100% is a Mantis. As a Halo fan, it being referred to as a Metal Gear makes me rage so hard.

I thought this review won’t happen. But it’s here and Booooom I was looking for this
Just when I thought Ryan Reynolds can't be more fun, then this movie shows up
Happy you guys covered this movie, I really enjoyed it.
I loved the Captain America sheild scene!
At 2:13 I think that might be A mantis from halo 4 but I could be wrong
This is the goofiest, dumbest, and most hilarious movie ever. I LOVE IT.
2:07 when I saw this, my first thought was the Mantis vehicle from the Halo series.
Thank you Disney for the props 🤣
4:08
I have never expected you to say DanTDM and Jacksepticeye but I'm still glad that you did
Ryan said we will get a sequel!!! Disney also wants to do it!
Oh the irony
I hope it's just as good
Great list, only thing forgotten was how Buddy disappeared in dust like characters disappeared after Thanos snapped his fingers haha
