Welcome to WickedBinge.
A place to get your fix of the best cinema and television.
Because we love your favorite movies and shows too.
With a budget of over 90 million dollars, Netflix's Bright is the most expensive film
project the company has invested in.
A movie that merges the arch-types of stories like The Lord of the Rings, with the buddy
cop dynamic of Bad Boys, Bright is a fun ride with a unique story.
But did you know there's a bunch of cool things in Bright that a lot of people missed?
Well, that's just fine, because we're taking a look at them today.
Hi, I'm Kyle with WickedFeed.
Get your badges on, because we're taking a look at the Easter Eggs and References in
Netflix's Bright.
Let's Get Started.
Shadowrun
It makes sense that Bright reminds us of your standard medieval themed RPG game.
But did you know there was a game that intertwined magic, orcs and elves with futuristic combat
and shoot outs?
That game was called Shadowrun.
It was available for PC and Xbox 360, and could be played online.
Originally, the game started out as a tabletop game that intertwined magic, fantasy and cyberpunk.
The series involved different races such as humans, orcs and elves and had many similar
themes to Bright.
Orc Love Song The song that Jakoby refers to as the orcs
love song is actually a real song that you can listen to called Hammer Smashed Face.
The song is by Cannibal Corpse.
An American Death Metal band from Buffalo New York, who at one point, were the top-selling
death metal band of all time.
Other Creatures As large ins cope as Bright's story seems
to be, it makes sense that a lot is glossed over throughout the movie.
In fact, it's suggested that there may be more types of creatures in the universe than
the ones that are focused on.
At around 50 minutes in, you'll notice a dragon flying over Los Angeles.
In fact, when Jakoby and Ward first arrive at the police station, there's actually a
police officer of another species standing guard.
What is he?
A Centaur!
The Dark Lord The evil entity in Bright is referred to as
The Dark Lord.
In the classic trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, Sauron is also referred to as the Dark Lord.
Although it's clear the two stories don't take place in the same universe, the title
in Bright is likely an homage to the classic book series by J.R.R.
Tolkien.
Those Eyes In the stripclub scene, a woman is seen blinking
a nictitating membrane essentially a third eyelid seen in certain reptiles, sharks and
birds.
Will Smith's character in Men in Black sees the same blinking happened on an alien he's
chasing during one of the beginning chases that ultimately leads to him being recruited
by the MIB.
Shrek is Love Toward the end of the movie, when Ward is
confronted by a gang of Orcs, he tells one to take his fat, Shrek-looking ass and drive
home to Fiona.
This is an obvious reference to the Shrek series by Dreamworks.
Interestingly, this may indicate that Will Smith is a fan of the animated film series,
as he's referenced it in the past in the film I Am Legend.
