There is a reference to Blade Runner in the NES game Street Fighter 2010 (note the building):   It's not my find. Here's the source: www.forum.emunes.pl/index.php/topic,3135.0.html |

I noticed a couple of typos. In the Silent Hill/Kindergarden Cop section, it has "school boss" instead of "school bus", and in the Metal Gear 2 section it has "Einstein isn't an action movie" instead of "isn't an action movie star" or "isn't from an action movie".

Corrected the funny boss/bus typo, the other is actually an intentionally nonsensical statement, cause the headline says "American Action Movies"... Just wanted to point out that those aren't steps, he's standing on a cog from the clocktower. Ah, that explains some things... Some anonymous poster at the blog apparently felt rather strongly about that. Not that the angles make perfect sense for a cogwheel by any stretch, but... looks like Jackie Chan:  Yeah, it's obviously Jackie Chan, but I wanted to find the exact shot and/or the other guy before including it. The Chase HQ one is awesome, though. Thanks for that! |

Tiny note - the MG2SS profiles, the one with Snake and Mel Gibson, you can make Snake smoke cirgatettes (like in my avatar) in-game, by equipping the cirgatte item. Makes it look even more similar.
Just want to re-iterate, I really love this article. Well done with the all hard work and amassing all the references from so many different sources. It's a beautiful collection.

You don't happen to have a screenshot with the portrait in original size around, do you?

 I don't believe this one is supposed to be George Michael but Morrissey from the Smiths. It makes sense too because of the other goth/depressing other 80's bands referenced. Just my two cents because George Michael has a goatee usually. edit: sorry if someone else covered this, I am kinda busy so I just wanted to chime in real quick. |

More Twitter updates: From Derek Yu: Also, I'm pretty sure that "Philip" from Dead Connection is based off of Andy Garcia, who was in The Untouchables and Godfather 3. From Alex Rushdy: Page 4 Akira vs Last Resort vs Illusion Blaze.

The character in Tex Murphy - Mean Streets game cover bears a very close resemblance to Val Kilmer. Strikes me since they could use their own actors...   |

Yeah, that one is a dead ringer for Val Kilmer.

Very amusing feature, sirs. And the ist goes on. The Dragon Quest Famicom Cover art and the Monster World III title screen...   Brad Anderson's "Session 9" from 2001 and Silent Hill 3...   I've posted a few more in my blog if you care to look. pixelsatanexhibition.blogspot.pt/search/label/Semblance |
