  • Community movie references --spoilers

    There were a ton of them. The genius of this episode was a bit overwhelming. Please add to the list.

    Jeff waking up in car- 28 days later

    The parking lot/fire barell - dawn of the dead.

    Abed jumping on wall- Matrix & Avatar

    Come with me if you don't want paint on your clothes, Brita stitching Jeff up- Terminator 2/Lost

    They're in the trees - Predator/Matrix(walls)

    No paintballs Hans? and pulling gun strapped behind back- Die Hard

    Chang bursting through door and shooting the place up- Scarface

    Chang suicide bomb- Predator

    Disco rollerbladers/come out and play- Warriors

    Paint dripping in bathroom - Aliens... and other flicks???

    Paintballs colliding - Wanted

    Paint outline in bathroom- ???

    I'm also told there was a Boondock Saints moment but didn't catch it.

    A true action movie savant is needed in this situation.

    I'm pretty sure that was a John Woo reference. Either Hard-Boiled or A Better Tomorrow. Or The Killer.

      "Come with me if you want to live" is originally from the first Terminator, that's why the termy in T2 used the line (so Sarah would know to trust him).

      Arnie said it much cooler in T2, though.

      And, yeah, Community gets better and better each week. Smart writing. The "hidden" things from these episodes reminds me a little of the genius of Arrested Development (Community still has a long way to go to get to that level, but they're on the right pace).

      Only thing I hate is it's end-of-season time.

        I thought of Rambo: First Blood Part II when he came into Dean's office to shoot it up. "Murdock, I'm coming to get you." I think that was there reference there.

        Michael Bein (Kyle Reese) kicks ass when he says, "come with me if you want to live!"

        Predator references ruled.

        But yes - genius episode.

            Boondock Saints moment I would think was Chang dropping the automatic flipping open the coat pulling out two hand guns.

              If there was a Boondock Saints reference (which I'm not convinced was intentional), it would be the scene where Shirley is pointing two guns in opposite directions and saying a prayer while she shoots people in the cafeteria.

              The Chang scene was one big John Woo reference, aside from the Predator bit at the end. The gold guns in particular were from Face/Off.

                That's when I thought it was.

                  I think we can all name 50 action movies that do the same thing with pulling 2 guns out... so that one seems more iffy.

                  I don't think every reference was an exact movie as much as a mismatch of the action genre.

                  The way a good spoof should work. One scene might be 5 movies in one.

                    The fact that they were painted gold seals the deal for Face/Off, I think.

                      I really need to watch it again, to see what we missed.

                      Maybe there was even a Solarbabies reference. Anyone?
