00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future in movies, YouTube channel Easter Egg Psychic,
00:05possible major predictive Easter eggs to the Marvel Cinematic Universe of comic book based superhero films
00:14present in the 1983 horror anthology Nightmares, directed by Joseph Sargent and written by Jeffrey Bloom and Christopher Crow.
00:24The cast consisted of Christina Raines, Anthony James, William Sanderson, Lance Henriksen, Richard Mazur, and Veronica Cartwright.
00:35For this video, I will focus on the second segment, The Bishop of Battle, featuring Emilio Estevez, Moon Unit Zappa,
00:43and Billy Jane.
00:45James Tolkien provides the voice of the game adversary, The Bishop of Battle.
00:50The second story in the anthology, this is around 25 minutes long, Estevez's character is JJ, a video game ace
01:01or wizard.
01:02This is set in 83, before home consoles and computers became commonplace in the household.
01:11Back in those days, if you wanted to play video games, you went into arcades.
01:15So watching this, I started to get a Marvel vibe.
01:20It really started to sink in at the 27 minute, 35 second mark.
01:25And there you'll see an arcade cabinet for the 1979 game entitled Starhawk.
01:32According to Wikipedia, Starhawk is unofficially based on the original Star Wars film, episode 4, A New Hope, 1977.
01:42Now Marvel fans will note Starhawk is the name of character, Stacker Ogord, associated with Guardians of the Galaxy.
01:52He's played by actor Sylvester Stallone in the movies.
01:56He appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in 2017 and Vol. 3 in 2023.
02:05Now Stallone was also in the 1993 action film Cliffhanger with another Guardians of the Galaxy actor, Michael Rooker, who
02:14played Yondu.
02:15Alright, so having introduced this relationship, you can scan this segment and find many other connections.
02:22An arcade machine that's featured frequently in Nightmares is the 1981 shooter Pleiades.
02:31Yeah, and you can note the visuals shown here. A galaxy is part of the background.
02:36Stern's Galaxy pinball game from 1980 is also shown in one of the arcades.
02:41Amazingly, 35 years later, Stern would produce an official pinball game based on Guardians of the Galaxy.
02:50Estevez's character wears a portable tape player, similar to a Sony Walkman, and wears headphones.
02:57And yeah, I thought this similar to Chris Pratt's character in Guardians of the Galaxy.
03:03He played Quill or Starlord.
03:05He also has a portable tape player headphones and his own mixtapes of music that he carries along into his
03:12adventure in outer space.
03:14At around the 26 minute, 3 second mark, Jane and Estevez's characters escape the gang and run out into the
03:23street in front of the arcade.
03:25And there on the left hand side of the screen is a movie marquee.
03:29And one of the titles listed is First Blood, the original Rambo film from 1982 starring Stallone, Richard Crenna, and
03:40Brian Dennehy.
03:41Interestingly, Billie Jane, who plays JoJo's friend Zoc, he was in a 1998 television commercial for Bud Light Beer with
03:51Avengers Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner.
03:54My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
03:56There I go back and look at movies and television from the past.
03:59I analyze these for possible references to future media.
04:03These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams.
04:07Hidden in the subtext of the work in question, I also use an unconventional method where I look at the
04:13likenesses of the actors.
04:16And what I found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items,
04:22and show past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities
04:28that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching.
04:34My email contact is easteregguy, that's G-U-Y, at yahoo.com.
04:42Thanks for watching.
