20 Best Easter Eggs In 2017 Movies

5. Friday - The Fate Of The Furious

The eighth Fast and the Furious movie concludes, typically enough, with a "family" BBQ, and before you know it, Roman (Tyrese Gibson) and Tej (Ludacris) are once again both trying to win the affections of hacker Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel).

Ramsey retorts that she likes them both, but they should get back to her when they can figure out her last name. Tej, whose last name is Parker, then quips, "It's gonna be Parker. That's all that really matters", before letting out an elongated, "Heeey Ms. Parker."

This is a clear nod to director F. Gary Gray's iconic filmmaking debut, Friday, which features a scene in which Ice Cube and Chris Tucker's protagonists lust over their scantily-clad neighbour, Mrs. Parker (Kathleen Bradley), and let out the same prolonged greeting.
