What's your favorite reference in this movie?
Mechagodzilla
Holy Hand grenade
The "Star Trek" funeral of James Halliday.
Hard to say! I feel like there could've been been way more, but I am happy with what we got. Maybe Mechagodzilla was the most out there one that I didn't expect
The Iron Giant, every Video game (e.g. Halo, Street Fighter, Overwatch) and Chucky.
In the book, you had to be obsessed with the 80s to understand the clues. They went with more mainstream references for the movies.
Adventure was the only challenge they didn't change.
Hollywood needs filmmakers like Spielberg more than ever
Literally couldn't make this movie without Spielberg. So many of the references were Speiberg properties and many of the other references were ones he was able to get released because of his relationships and his real world standing.
Hollywood is too corrupt to attract them.
Facts
Oh lord amen. And see if sane rational humans can be in charge again.
We really didn’t know how good we had it in the 80’s and 90’s with Spielberg making absolute classics back to back 🥲
You missed a big piece.
Wade was only obsessed with the 80s because Halliday was obsessed with the 80s. He grew up in the 80s and the clues were from his life and the 80s.
Wade being a hunter for the egg he needed to be an 80s pop culture buff.
exactly. I mean, with a prize like the Oasis and half a trillion dollars at stakes, the book talks about people scouring Halladay's favorite things from his childhood for clues, so much so that the culture got saturated with nostalgia. I find it a clever justification for all the 80's references.
The book explains the hook on the 80s better than the movie did. I think this book and movie more or less inspired a lot of the 80s nostalgia you see nowadays. People trying to ride the nostalgia train the book and movie opened. Because you had to understand Halliday's obsession with the 80s, it kicked off a new love of the 80s in the future because you HAD to understand them to win the contest in the book.
the book was written by a Gen Xer who was born in the early 70's. That's why it's steeped in 80's nostalgia; the Oasis creators are modeled after Boomers who created the games which Xers played. Also the Shining came out in 1980, so it was a formative movie for many Xers.
Every gen has this. Back in my day they were nostalgic for the 40's and 50's hence movies like Indiana Jones, Stand By Me, Back to the future and so on.
@@Fenris30 Heck I am almost exactly the same age as the author of the book, but pulling nostalgia form my childhood also means remembering my parent's and grandparent's taste. It is not only Pac-Man, Tetris, A-ha and Twisted Sister; Fallout (the games) reminds me a lot of my grandparents which listened to big band jazz every time I was at their home and had a LOT of furniture at home looking like it was straight out of the Fallout games. Nostalgia is a weird thing ;)
The 80s nostalgia has existed since a generation was born in the 80s. I don't think the book/film inspired "a lot of the nostalgia". Us millennials have existed for decades before this film, and the book, and the 80s was just yesterday to us. We are what keeps the 80s alive, because we were there. In fact, you have it completely backwards. This film only has relevance *because* of everyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s. If we didn't exist, this film would be meaningless.
Quantum Leap, which began in 1989, usually had Sam leaping within the decades of the 50's, 60's, and 70’s. Once in a while he'd make a leap that tool place in the 80's but that was much more rare.
The first time they had an episode where he was in the 80's though they went all out 80's nostalgia. In the episode, Sam leapt into a single mom in 1981, and the episode first aired in 1990, so only 9 years separate, but like I said they went all out nostalgia!
Blondie's "Call Me" was loudly played, there were references to Raiders of the Lost Ark, Magnum P.I. (the executive producer of QL was also the executive producer of Magnum), they had a dog named "Wookie", and there were also D&D references.
But the first time I really remember 80's nostalgia becoming a big thing was the 1995 Adam Sandler movie _The Wedding Singer._
The Shining sequence was more of Spielberg wanting to commemorate Kubrick’s iconic film for newer generations while being nostalgic for his 19 years of friendship with Kubrick. Spielberg & Kubrick met at the Overlook hotel set in 1979 when Kubrick was making Shining and Spielberg was making Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the two became such close friends until Kubrick’s death in 1999.
In fact, Spielberg’s 2001 film, A.I., was originally meant to be made my Kubrick but he died before the technology could be advanced and so Spielberg made the film in his honor of an unfulfilled project (which funnily enough, Kubrick wanted Spielberg to make it because he felt it was suited to Spielberg’s sensibilities).
All the references being from the 80's stems from the book probably and is ramped up in the book by 100. The creator of the Oasis grew up in the 80's so all the people hunting for the keys studies the 80's like crazy to better understand him.
Wrong the author of the book grew up in the 80's. The Oasis creators were modeled after Boomers who created the games the author grew up playing and the media he was watching.
Re: keeping his password written next to him, entirely plausible. Not only plausible, but likely. Been in security for 20 years and no matter how often we tell people not to do that, they still do it. When we were in the office, in the before times, I’d walk around and find unlocked machines & post-it passwords. Post-it’s I took, unlocked workstations I’d change your desktop background. Both earned a turd emoji squishy toy, 3 toys got you in HR.
Yup, I run into this every month.
I'd highly recommend reading the book, or if you're feeling lazy listening to the audiobook read by Wil Wheaton. I'd say there's a 90% difference between the novel and movie, the main characters and settings are 'mostly' the same but all of the clues, trials and events that take place are different. It's definitely an amazing read.
The movie is so different from the its crazy
I mean I wouldn't even say if you are lazy. The audiobook is PHENOMENAL. Especially hilarious is the part where it insults Wil Wheaton, you gotta imagine that probably took a few takes for him to read that part without laughing. he was very much hated by many of those he worked with when he was younger and he knows it, and as he's gotten older he's very self-aware and joking about it today. That's why in shows like Big Bang Theory where he plays as a caricature of himself, he's even more of an over the top "bad guy" than he ever was in real life.
Yep, kind of disappointed they didn't touch on the fact they go to school through the Oasis or that the whole first clue was just, different.
@@ragabashmoon1551Was he hated by the other Star Trek actors? I thought he was just hated by the fandom. I remember despising that character above all others.
It is not an amazing read at all. Clearly you guys are the neckbeards that the book was targeted at. Cline literally goes on for pages about random extremely obscure references and why exactly he's so much of a cooler person than you because he knew those references and you didn't. It's sooooooooo insufferable.
Halliday was obsessed with 80s pop culture. Since everyone was obsessed with him and his clues everyone also became hooked on the 80s.
Artemis' red motorcycle comes from the first anime to hit America - Akira. 😅
The spell I-Rok invoked to activate the Orb of Osuvox was the spell of unmaking used by Morgan Le Fay in the 80's movie Excalibur. 😅
Actually the first two animes that came to America is in 1961.
The entire thing about the 80s references was because Ernest Cline, who wrote the novel and co-wrote the screenplay, came of age in the 80s. This was an homage to the music, movies, TV shows, and games that were formative for him. Like Cline, I was also an 80s kid...so for me, this is one of my favorite novels and movies. Cline explains what Halliday in the OASIS is in the sequel novel Ready Player Two, which is in development. Also in development is Cline's second novel Armada, which also uses TONS of 80s references.
Cline, before writing the novel, was an Austin-based performance/slam poet (there are a couple of his chapbooks out there of his geek poetry), and he wrote the screenplay for a fun movie called Fanboys starring Kristen Bell and Dan Fogler.
To go through all of the references would be exhausting, suffice it to say that
1) Not all of the references are just 80s, but for Gex X-ers, there are references as far back as the 60s, and I think the 50s because growing up in the 80s...there were always reruns of TV, and movies on cable, etc. Music was filled with hits of the previous decades on radio, MTV, and VH1. One example, that no reactor knows or picks up on that I have seen: the gun Wade has and shoots Art3mis with...is a Colonial Laser Blaster, worn by Colonial Warriors in the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica, and they even used the same sound effect when he pulls the trigger.
2) The amount of references they could NOT get that are in the novel is enormous. Partially it was the budget and paying everyone for the rights, and partially it was because of the run time for the movie because there is a lot that happens in the book that doesn't in the film. One example, the first key ties into a classic campaign of Dungeons and Dragons, that was placed on Planet Ludos (mentioned in the movie, because all OASIS-based schools are there) and the arcade version of the video game Joust. There is no race like in the movie.
And the fact that Wade had somehow figured out the first clue almost by accident, and luckily completes the challenge first time whereas Samantha claims she had been trying to complete the challenge for about a month if I remember correctly.
@@willbeonekenobi He was doing the challenge the same amount of time as everyone else. There would be thousands of hours of video to go through so Wade having a eureka moment from a random comment does make sense. The first challenge was done better in the novel because it was on a free planet and since Wade is so poor he spends a lot of time on the planet and was the first person to find the challenge.
Here is one for you, the character Daito.. That is another name for a Katana which his online character uses. The other character Sho is another name for a short sword, or Wakashi. Dai-sho were worn by Samurai Both long and short swords... Daito is older and there for the bigger sword. Sho is younger, so there for the short, or smaller sword.
The enchantment they use for the spell was from the John Boorman Excalibur movie. It's a really beautiful and trippy take on the King Arthur story.
Big congrats on getting 260k subscribers on the channel and since Hailey and Stella did _Ready Player One_ hopefully they will watch _ET: The Extra Terrestrial,_ and _Minority Report,_ (all two directed by Steven Spielberg) along with the following Science Fiction films (outside of the Terminator, Alien and Predator films) such as _Arrival_ and _Blade Runner: 2049_ (both films directed by Denis Villenueve who did _Dune_ which Hailey and Stella reacted to), the original _Blade Runner,_ _The Matrix_ films and _AVATAR_ (including its sequel, _The Way of Water)._
The guys did Arrival but I love that movie so much I'd watch another reaction to it if Hailey and Stella also did it. :)
as a huge fan of technology, this movie is really deep... I love the way they show this
Fun Fact: Ultraman was supposed to be in the film as he was in the book, but due to not being able to get the rights he got replaced with The Iron Giant.
I wonder if Storm Troopers or Darth Vader was in the book?
Or they couldn't get the rights?
Because it's a missed opportunity imo, since Star Wars is the icon of the 80's (along with Terminator and Aliens)
I think American audiences get it better this way. Not too many Americans know Ultraman.
@fajarkurniawan9434 they had Luke's X-wing, a TIE fighter and the Millennium Falcon in the background of some shots.
As an American kid in the late 60s & early 70s, I remember watching Ultraman and loved it.
Ultraman was created in the late 60's if I recall correctly, so technically it's not an 80's nostalgia thing. Xers grew up watching reruns of it. I barely remember it being on tv when I was little.
I'd forgotten they incorporated the original Godzilla 1954 theme into the score. Gives me chills every time as it was one of the first themes that really got me into movie scores.
Id recommend reading the book by ernest cline. Its actually very different to the film adaptation. There is also a sequel book called Ready Player Two. Theyre both a really good read
I love how the book and the movie are so different and both are just so awasome and unique to tell the same storie
The DeLorean didn't have windows that rolled down and, yes keeping with the 80s, NO rear cameras. Or cameras at all really😂 The actor actually got to sit in a real DeLorean. I believe the author of the book owns one, and realized you have to open the door to look back. So completely authentic.😊😊
even it did have a rearview it was blocked by the flux capacitor
Love this movie
I am a 90s teenager and I felt the same way about the 70s. It was overload.
I love this film, giving an escapism in to a super character world. As you correctly pointed out, it was released in 2018. but most, if not all, the real life scenes, including vehicle chases, were filmed in 2016, mostly around Birmingham in the UK. I used to live locally and remember all of the street closures during filming, and it's good to re run the film to pick out more and more of the exact street locations used. One small detail is that when the van was being rammed by the two suv's towards the end of the film, there where no actors around during the filming, as it was all stunt drivers. No need to risk the main actors, even though the main camper/trailer location for the cast and crew was only just off shot of the road the chase was filmed on.
So after filming in 2016, it took the best parts of two years to do all of the cgi for the main part.
This movie is like, one of the most cool looking movies ever!! ❤
Such a great film! Even under all the nostalgic window dressing there's still a great story.
Love Stella 😍
Oh please do it in your upcoming book club! The book is absolute fantastic! So much more references and better and more 80s feelings ❤
Stella. The reason Nolan’s avatar looks like Superman is because it is. It’s Clark Kent in a suite. You can see his eyes going red sometimes throughout the movie referencing the heat vision power
And few people seem to pick up on the reference from Superman (1978) about the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper.
If anyones gonna make a nostalgia bait movie, cant think who deserves it more than Spielberg
I absolutley love this movie and how it was adapted from the novel its so full of references and feels 😊my favourite scene is obviously Wade getting the egg and when Halliday says "Goodbye Parcival thanks for playing my game" that always breaks me 😥awesome reaction guys thought youd love this one Stella! Loved watching you guys vibing to every tune in this awesome soundtrack and getting excited about every reference haha
So happy you two decided to react to this!!! What a love letter to the 80s!!!! I loved this movie and all the nostalgia it brought. I especially loved how you both now understood practically all the references, especially The Shining. Stella and Hayley, you are both sweet and lovely!! I cannot wait for your last Terminator reaction and your next Predator one.🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's wild to think that ready player one is just the natural progression of the internet. It's already like that..we just can't enter it in the same way..yet. I am so looking forward to it
I LOVE this movie. I lived thru the 70's and 80's and it gave me flashbacks of my childhood. Speaking of the 80's, Stella reminds me of Jennifer Beals from Flashdance (a 1983 film).
Young Spielberg producing Who Framed Roger Rabbit - look at the amount of legal work to get all these licenses in one movie | Older Spielberg - I think I can get even more
Massive congrats on earning 260k+ subscribers on the channel you guys and I’m amazed on how far your subscribers continue to grow on the channel.
Ok before i say anything this one is for Stella...60 years ago it was the 60's lol, im not that old yet and was born right before the 80's! 😜😂
My favourite references in the movie are the horror based ones, since I'm a horror freak! 😂
This movie is on my list of absolute faves because of the story and all of the references. I was smiling several times throughout your reaction, so well done 😉
And you ladies looked absolutely amazing, as usual ❤
In the book Artemis doesn't just have a birthmark but a much greater disfigurement, much like how in the Game of Thrones books Tyrion didn't just get a scar when his face was cut but lost his entire nose.
sorry 45:09 when you said "we have DB skills" after a Street Fighter reference, I just died hahahaha
the book is so much more and the egg hunt is different. but both fully enjoyable im wondering if they'll do the RP2 as the book was around 5years after the original win
I love that the thumbs up by the Iron Giant was the Terminator reference.
Also, YES that is actually Brad Dourif himself voicing Chucky. I googled it. :D
I love that you girls are nostalgic for the 80s! Great choice!
It always cracked me up everytime they said “next week’s reaction is this movie here” and then nothing pops up 🤣
This movie is Steven Spielberg's best blockbuster film since The Adventures of TinTin (2011) and War Of The Worlds (2005). Great reaction! 👍🏿
it was not parzival, that was obsessed with the 80s... it was the creator of the egghunt halliday, that was obsessed by his youth in the 80s and in the book the whole egghunt, is about what halliday loved, so every serious egghunter had to be interested in the 80s to stand a chance.
One change from the book I never understood is that Daito and Sho were brothers in the book, which makes sense with their names. In the movie their best friends.
My guess is that it was done in order to allow all five of them to be meeting each other for the first time IRL when gathering in H's van.
In the first 5 minutes, I was really hating this film. But it honestly grew on me. I never read the book, so I had no idea what this was about. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It really caught me by surprise.
the starting is awesome, it's pure Spielberg, what are you talking about
Bro gave the movie 5 minutes to be good 😂
That's how I felt about the book
Saturday Night Fever with the "Stayin' Alive" bit is from the 70's, so they did try to vary it :P. Plus all the 90's stuff. I just think that the 80's stuff is very recognisable because of how great the entertainment content was. It's all still referenced today, and you can watch those films over and over again because of how good and just plain fun they are. A lot of gamers winced when you said the fire ball launched by Wade in the final fight was "Dragonball skills". It was a Hadoken from Street Fighter II onwards. The Kamehameha is more of a laser beam/energy blast than a fireball; plus the word used to "activate" Wade's move was Hadoken. Great video as usual guys, here's hoping that they can make a great sequel "Ready Player Two". Look forward to seeing your next video :D ...
EDIT: If you rewatch the movie, you will notice tons of references you missed...
i love the foreshadowing when Halliday in the beginning says the keys are hidden in dark room in the center of a maze.
There's a second book that came out recently, called Ready Player Two, and already a second movie in the works.
The iron Giant's thumbs up as he dies is a reference to The Terminator 2.
"How does this world not devolve into chaos?"
The way it's explained in the book is that the Oasis is divided into hundreds of "sectors" and every sector has different rules. In one, magic might work but not technology, in another it might be the reverse, and in some, anything goes. This way, players can always still tailor their adventures to their preference by staying in parts of the Oasis that have the rules they prefer... or they can travel all over the place and deal with utter chaos if that's what they like.
"Would you feel getting shot? Why would you want that?"
The book also explains this. The haptics reproduce touch sensations and the like perfectly, but they don't make you feel pain, beyond a slight momentary discomfort. If you're shot in the Oasis, you feel it as like a thud that knocks you back.
So many great references in this movie. Many things stood out. I liked how they used Merlins charm of making magic spell from the Excalibur movie as the activation code for the level 99 magic artifact that created the barrier. Kind of an obscure reference, but fitting considering the power that the spell represented. I also liked how they used the mystical weapon Glaive from the movie Krull.
MC does Hadouken (move from street fighter), Stella says: Thats a dragonball move.. How dare you!
This reaction earned a subscribe. Great combo of reacting to the movie, getting geeky references, enjoying the good parts.
Really one of my favorites even tho its pretty basic it just hits home.
The Gundam showing up literally had me giddy. It's only the 3rd time I recall seeing it referenced in a Hollywood film, and the first time referenced directly. Every other time it was just some thing in the background easy to miss.
thing is in games with those effects, you would play completely differently if you could actually feel the gunshots, sword slices, etc, then if you couldnt, which could be the key to winning and getting no-hit runs
One of my fav movies. Watch it like 5-10 times every year.
5:23 The author of the book lives here in Austin, TX and has an exact replica of that DeLorean. Or I guess more accurately the car in the book and movie is an exact recreation of his car since he had it first. Occasionally you can see it driving around town. It is awesome. You’ll know it’s him because of the Ghostbusters logo on the doors and Knight Rider moving light in the grill.
If you read the book, you’d realize a lot of the in game stuff does have modern influence but it’s a nostalgia cooking pot from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, but yea mostly 80’s Film and nerd core as well as game culture.
The demon face from the art book from module T1: Tomb of Horrors, painted on the side of the van. I'm an old school gamer, so that was great for me.
Only slightly less, the whole Adventure thing. I used to play that game by giving the bat the chalice, putting every other item in the "secret easter egg room", and then grabbing the bat and releasing it so that it will fly into the castle and win the game for me.
One of my favourite movies of all time
Halliday was a child of the 1980s. The obsessions were HIS. Wade (and everyone else) was obsessed with getting into the mind of Halliday - which meant becoming obsessed with 80s culture too.
I can't imagine the amount of collective hours spent building in all the detail in this movie.
While I'd recommend reading the book too, the movie is much faster paced and has some changes to streamline the narrative pace.
"they're invisible hidden in a dark room that's at the center of a maze" wow I didn't realise that this guy literally left a hint to the final puzzle in his initial message.
The Glaive from Krull was great to see (the boomerang ninja throwing star).
49:48 - I just noticed... isn't that the lady Wade spoke with while climbing down in the beginning of the movie? Then it's his favorite neighbor with lots of cat and her death was pretty much the biggest reason he mourned the explosion in stacks.
Me and my mom have always been huge horror movie fans, but there’s some classic horror movies I just haven’t seen, the shining being one of them. But I LOVE how excited y’all got when it showed the shining lol, was great
I loved that they kept the line from the book "Reality is the only place you can get a decent meal." In the book it's kind of a throwaway line, but it's a really charming way of summarizing the thesis of the movie. Also love when Halliday thanks Parzival for playing his game. That feeling of just wanting to share this thing you made and love with people is really true and wholesome.
See... even the outro to this video is like late 80's early 90's. You cannot get away from it.
oh noooo, dude says Hadouken! and Stella goes "we got Dragonball skills" xD
Jump is the world's most upbeat song about someone unaliving themself.
That kind of birth mark is often refered to as a Port Wine stain. My granddaughter one on her back when she was born but it faded away as she grew up.
I like how the oasis characters don't reflect the humans behind them especially iRock. He's the best character. Best line: "it's f***ing chucky!". Just the way he said it was so fun it got me to watch child play. Loved the delorean with the kit robo-eye
This is one of those movies that changes a bit from the book and leans more into typical tropes like making samantha be self concious over just a birth mark. Where it was something more significant in the book. Definitely an moment of book was better then the movie.
“Never underestimate how much people will hate corporations” 🤣🤣🤣 Loved this reaction!
In the book Artemis lives in Vancouver, she has a port wine birthmark o her face not a minor birthmark and they spend more time together before he tells her he loves her
You girls gotta keep in mind the creator of the Oasis grew up in the 80s'. Of course he was gonna pack it with more of those things. Also we got some newer stuff in there. Tracer from OW, Kiryu (Mechagodzilla is like 2002), Master Chief, RX-78 (Gundam I'd say is timeless), Iron GIant is 99. So it wasn't all real old stuff. Also I'd probably put this kinda stuff in a game if I made it today and could.
Wade/Parzival keeps trying to get high fives throughout the movie, and he ends up forming a clan known as the high five. That’s pretty cool. 😁
Rosebud is the cheat code from Sims 1. ^^
I love the Player one reacten
10:05 Yeah it's publicly accessible but out of tons and tons of information. You'd have to know where to look to find it.
i died a lil inside when she said a hadouken was dragonball
Class of 86 checking in, pretty amazing that so much from my teen years is appreciated by later generations. 90s nostalgia has been gearing up lately it seems, it's time 😁
The Glaive from Krull at 43:02, and the Pulse Rifle from Aliens in the disco raid.
Wo, LOVE the dark locks Stella!!! 🤘
There are more references that fill the "slow" scenes. The orb spell is from the movie Excalibur (1981). III looks like 101 from George Orwell's book 1984 pub. 1949. And much more.
Spielberg put as much references of his own movies in there. Note: in the book The Shining is not mentioned. The bookcase and movie are very different. I love both though.
This movie is mi love
I like that the sticky note with the password is a key because it subverts the fallacious belief many people hold that wealthy people are smarter than everybody else.
It's explained in the book that James Halliday grew up the 80s and hence was obsessed with 80s and 90s geek pop culture. As his contest captured the imagination of the public and everyone started poring over all the things he was into, 80s and 90s fashion, music, tv, movies and comics all became popular again. Most of the art of the past 20 years in Wade's time would probably not have held much interest for people as those were the decades of energy, environmental and financial crises that nearly crippled the world. The book is way more explicit & nihilistic about the era that Wade lives in. Like, poverty and crime are rampant and the land between cities is basically uninhabitable.
Always look inside your headset. Many people discover things living in there after putting it on their face.
Just a nice detail.
I watched this 11 times in the theater
Pulls out Hadouken move, calls it a dragon ball move. Stella, you just shattered my heart. Its STREET FIGHTER!
I KNOW, I REALIZED AFTER I SAID IT😢
Someone has already probably explained this, but the 80s obsession came from Halliday himself. He was a kid/teen in the 80s, and he was always nostalgic for that time, so it was a large part of his life. So the Gunters like Wade had to learn about the 80s and understand them, in order to understand Halliday and, possibly, his tasks for the keys.
This is one of those movies that I will say the story isn't revolutionary or particularly engaging, but it's just FUN to watch. The characters were likeable enough, the CGI was great, the character designs for the game were good...I just watch this when I want something fun and kind of mindless to watch. My biggest complaint with the movie is that Nolan Sorrento felt more like a joke than a villain. In the book, he and his company were an actual threat. Here, he was just...a schoolyard bully. I'm also annoyed with Samantha's birthmark. The book distinctly describes her as "rubanesque" so they really should have gone with a curvier actress.
That "Thanks for playing my game" was so beautiful for the people who enjoy playing games or making them.
You rounding up the 80s to being nearly 60 yrs ago...😂😂😂 You added on more than a decade!
I was born in 71. 71, not 81, & so I'm almost 52. Not even close enough to 60 to round to 60. 😂 The 70s was a bit over 50 yrs ago & the 80s a bit over 40 yrs ago.

Oasis concept reminds me something like Playstation Home. I spent lot of time inside playing chess, pool or bowling socializing with strangers from all over the world.
