Ready Player One: 135 Easter Eggs & References Explained

85. Say Anything

As the film heads to its climax and Parzival puts the call out for all of The OASIS's players to rise up against IOI and stop them from claiming the third key and winning ownership of the game (which they wouldn't have anyway as Nolan would have failed the last test), he recaptures an iconic shot from John Cusack classic Say Anything when he stands atop the hill holding a boombox above his head.

84. RoboCop

RoboCop appears as an avatar at one point and there's also a billboard in the background of the race sequence advertising Delta City - the name of the corporate town that OCP wanted to create from the ruin of Detroit in Paul Verhoeven's movie.

There's also an ED-209 enforcement droid from the first movie in Aech's workshop.

83. Knight Rider

Though Z's DeLorean appears to be a spot-on recreation of Robert Zemeckis' time machine, it actually has another little Easter Egg embedded in it as KITT's red visor from Knight Rider sits on the front of the car.

82. Mad Max 2

Mad Max's V8 Interceptor is another of the cars that appear on the race grid at the start of the first task.

81. The Dark Crystal

When Z is investigating the memory Halliday has of Kira, the game creator mentions the fact that his prospective girlfriend has the same name as the character from The Dark Crystal.
