It is also kind of the point one of new characters played in Aliens. Their are a lot of references and similar scenes like stand by me for example. if you have the time check out in google some of the references. |
I grew up in the 80s, I don‘t need Google to detect references. R. Donner/C. Columbus (Goonies), J. Dante/C. Columbus (Gremlins), R. Scott (Alien), Cameron (Aliens), Spielberg (E.T., Goonies again), Stephen King (Stand By Me, Langoliers, Carrie), De Palma (Carrie again), Carpenter (Halloween, The Fog, The Thing), Friedkin (The Exorcist), Lynch (Twin Peaks), Lucas (the promotion artstyle), 80s music videos (the over-the-top styling of Kali‘s gang) etc. ...plus casting Paul Reiser from Aliens and Sean Astin from Goonies... it’s a bit too much imo (and that’s not counting the non-hidden things like Ghostbusters and D&D), but it‘s very well done. I just wished they‘d came up with one or two own ideas.
