"Conker Film References"

Hello, fellow Nintendoers. Just wondering - how many film references are there in Conker?

Here are the ones I can think of off the top of my head:

The Matrix (Duh)
Saving Private Ryan
Alice In Wonderland (I'm flushing, I'm flushing!)
Clockwork Orange (Opening scene)

Evenin.........

We're up for a jolly around Worsthorne tomorrow morning.

Meet at the Hurstwood car park at 8:45am. ;)
We'll depart as soon as everyone has turned up :)

For those that have forgotten how to get from the M65 to Hurstwood, give us a call 07972 710 440 and we'll arrange a meet at J9 M65 at 8:25am

that bit didn't remind me of Half-Life, but the Tediz base bit did! All those laser trip wires, and enemies jumping out at you... Makes me feel like playing Half-Life all over again!

Is it just me, or did the best where you had to swim past the rotating blades remind anyone else of Half-Life?

A lot of the game reminded me of South Park (that's a good thing though).

oh, and invading the Tediz base (with all the laser mines, the pipes falling down and spewing gas, and the alarm constantly ringing) seems to me to be a Half-Life reference! Rare are too well knowledged in all this stuff!!!

The bit where conkers being chased buy yht robotic crabs, and he dives into the lift, when it go's to the view of the crab (going upside down and around in the cutscene) that bits also taken form aliens.
slik ~_~

and there was a star wars bit at the end

Whoever mentioned the last boss forgot to mention that it was taken from the film Alien. :-)

Also, the paintbrush and paintpot reminded me a lot of South Park characters...

I hope they put just as many film references in the Sequel. Hopefully they still have loads and loads moere ideas!

Full Metal Jacket- at the beggining of the game scaredy birdy says some lines from it and also when Conker thinks that beaver guys dead, that's like a scene from the film.

Gladiator: Caveman section when you go into the colleseum.

Return of the Jedi: The end scene when the Panther King turns round in his chair is mimicking Emperor Palpatine, also the tunnel that Berry and Conker walk up is exactly like the tunnels in Star Wars.

The Godfather: Bit in the club when you go to see the Weasel guy and he beats that guy with a baseball bat.

Bram Stokers Dracula: The whole beggining bit of the house section.

There are more, I just can't think of them.
