The game Scott and Knives play in the arcade during the first act does not technically exist in real life €“ called Ninja Ninja Revolution, the way it€™s named and played is a reference and homage to modern arcade classic Dance Dance Revolution. The surrounding animations of the game appear later in the film €“ firstly in the fight with Gideon, where the €˜Bad€™ logo appears when he hits Ramona and then at the end, where the same continue screen appears as the one used in the game Scott forces Knives to pay for.
