Deadpool 2: 102 Easter Eggs, Gags & References Explained

84. Flashdance

As part of the credits, we see the image of Deadpool bent backwards over a chair, showering himself with bullets that was used as a marketing image. If it looks familiar, it's because it's a redo of the iconic Flashdance water image.

On top of that, one of the taglines of the movie "Take your passion. And make it happen", which are, of course, lyrics from Flashdance's "What A Feeling".

83. Frozen

When the film catches up with the now-depressed Wade in Weasel's bar, he's singing "Papa Can You Hear Me" from Yentl and segues into "Do You Want To Build A Snowman" from Frozen. It's not just an attempt to show Disney some love - Wade actualy accuses Frozen of ripping off the classic Yentl song, noting their similarities.

Again, the lyrics are almost his last words too as he plays around with final words before he "dies."

82. The Dead Celebs

Some of the jokes are a little close to the bone, including mention of George Michael's death alongside Vanessa, which has upset Wade even further. To show his love, Wade sings "Never Gonna Dance Again."

He closes out the segment saying "at least we still have Bowie" as Weasel tries his best not to react and give away that sad news. As tributes go, it's the most Deadpool of all.
