10 Incredible Movie Easter Eggs That Went Totally Over Your Head

5. Jack Burton's Vest From Big Trouble In Little Is Hanging On The Wall In Death Proof

Death-Proof-Big-Trouble

Quentin Tarantino's movies are renowned for their intricate references and homages to movies from across the span of time, though this one likely went over your head unless you happen to be a dedicated fan of John Carpenter's brilliantly underrated B-movie extravaganza Big Trouble In Little China. Carpenter's movie starred Kurt Russell, of course, who played ironic John Wayne-like hero Jack Burton.

Russell also stars in Death Proof as Stuntman Mike, a murderous psychopath with a car crash fetish. During the scene set in the Texas Chilli Parlor towards the beginning of the movie, then, keep your eyes peeled for this wonderful easter egg that acknowledges the fact that Kurt Russell is in a freakin' Tarantino movie.

That vest hanging on the wall admist all the other memorabilia? That, my friend, is Jack Burton's iconic Asian-themed vest from Big Trouble In Little China. Being a trucker and all, it wouldn't be hard to imagine Burton pulling over for a beer at this, uh, "fine" establishment.
