Deadpool 2: 102 Easter Eggs, Gags & References Explained

96. Passion Of The Christ

The opening sequence also has a bit of a tribute to Mel Gibson's The Passion Of The Christ. He mentions being listed with Jesus thanks to the movie, which is still the highest rated R-Rated domestic movie ever.

But, as 'Pool points out, international box office returns made Deadpool the highest-grossing R-Rated movie ever (ignoring inflation). So, he's got brags, basically.

95. Raiders Of The Lost Ark

Having left the scene of Sergei's villainous lair and leaving him in his panic room, Deadpool is chased back to Dopinder's cab by his angry companions,. The shot of him running to the get-away car is very much a nod to the similar scene in Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

94. Top Gun

Having made their escape in the cab, Deadpool and Dopinder talk about the latter's struggles with his identity. Sensing something is up, 'Pool says "Talk to me, Goose", recalling Top Gun's central pair of heroes, Goose and Maverick.
