I can't be certain, but during the scene where K takes Joi on her first flight in the rain whilst heading to the San Diego junkyard, there is a shot of them looking up at a huge object with lights on it looming out of the clouds. To me, it looked suspiciously like the front end of the USS Sulaco.
Trees really are going to stop growing from the June 10th 2021 solar eclipse, but to make this link you first need to understand that the earth is flat, and there's a mysterious video online called "No forests exist on the flat earth". You also have to make the link that the world really will be under water in 2045 ala Simpsons and many other movies, and the maps were published showing California as an island city with a sea wall, and with LA underwater and rusted. Also, on 911 the twin towers were turned to dust using new free energy technology that will cause a blackout, corrupt data, and stop the trees from growing. The camps at the beginning are Barrack Obama's FEMA camps in USA based on his new policy for "prolonged detention" starting in 2023. Anyway, for more info see "Irrefutable 911" and "Truth does not fear investigation". For the eye in the pyramid and whose controlling the world see the Vatican Secret Societies re: Jesuits and Freemasons.
This Sequel is a brilliant masterpiece. Too bad it wasn't that strong at the box office. I think it will get a lot of money from the dvd/bluray release
Yeah 31 million isn't good for a 155 million budget film. It might just barely break even worldwide. But we'll see. This movie isn't for everybody, so was the case for the original and movies like 2001: a Space Odyssey as well. But I am so glad they took a chance with this film, but Alcon entertainment went all in on this film, if it fails Alcon entertainment is probably no more. It can also spook for DUNE if this movie flops, as huge sci-fi productions don't catch peoples interest. it is a dark path we go into if only easy watching 2 hour superhero movies and action flicks can have budgets that makes movies look stunning these days. If Sci-fi movies are left to low budget and constantly fight to break even, there might not be anyone who dares to make any more of these.
FabledSomething i hope this movie can break their 150million budget. These are the masterpieces i want to see in the cinema. If nobody is looking these movies hollywood is just going to make superhero movies like avengers because they make a lot of money at the box office
Star Wars is Sci-Fi and they still will make a lot this December. Nowadays, movies like Blade Runner will not appeal to goddamn millennials. Such a shame, movie is a masterpiece.
For the hardcore fans, here's some other easter eggs I picked up after watching it for the first time today: 1. The sound that Deckards' room makes in the scene where Joi is exploring it is exactly the low-freq sound in the original when Deckard is examining the photos on the Esper (also the same sound from "Alien" medical bay) 2. When Deckard first encounters K, he makes a reference to the book "Treasure Island." This was a reference to a scene which was left on the "cutting room floor" on the original movie which Deckard visits Holden after he was shot by Leon. There might be more, I have to watch it again!!
Refuse2Lose33 When K goes to a man to analyze the wooden horse, this man offers him a horse and a sheep, the same animals which appear on the first chapter of the original novel.
Biggest Easter egg is how Deckard notes "Her eyes were green", Sean Young is actually reprising her role and she hated the Green contact lenses she wore in the original... Hence they cleverly turned it into how Deckard is able to tell she is a clone.... So that she didn't have to wear them again and could use her natural Brown eye color. Not many people realize that was really her playing the clone.
Hey Sloth55Chunk, your statement re: The encased replicant looks nothing like an engineer - hits the nail on the head and that is the Bladerunner world will meet up with the Alien universe. ALIEN meets BLADERUNNER - I believe that Ridley Scott.
That's interest. Making a replicant Engineer would have REALLY pissed the Engineers off even more! As long as there's no Alien vs. Blade Runner movie. ;) It is fun that they're in the same "universe".
I watched the original when it was out and I enjoyed it and I am a fan of PKD's writing. I went and watched 2049 yesterday and was happy to find I really enjoyed it. I was afraid I was going to be finding myself watching another film revision of a great original film that should be left alone but I am happy to say I was wrong.
I am probably going to go see it again while it is still on the big screen which is a rare thing for me these days. I have gotten use to watching at home on my 55"
K is a replicant - that much is revealed literally minutes into the film. As for Deckard and the question wether he is a replicant or not, the answer isn't important. The question is important.
At the scene K is checking the DNA's, Joi says (AS good as I remember it) "you are made of four different signs, GACT. I'm made just with two, zeros and ones" K response "you have half the signs but double the charm". It's a great reference to the dialogue Roy and Tyrell had, were Roy is disappointed to have such a short live and did nothing great, Tyrell responding quoting Lao Tzu "The flame that burns Twice as bright burns half as long". Was totally impressed how hard that scene hit me, remembering it. Also, an easter egg from the book "comfort and joi", were the character is zooming in over and over again in the photo of Joi (again an easter egg with the whole picture zooming), until "the square mosaic of the pixels started to reveal itself at the edge of her lips and around her Iris of her eyes. Joi reconstructed out of zeros and ones" The whole connection between Joi and K was IMAO a parallel quest of being more human (Joi and Roy) as they were original constructed, wanting to become more in front of their connection (K and Tyrell), Joi with loving K in the end and dying and Roy hating Tyrell and killing him.
Wow good call, there are MANY what I would say vague references to Kafka's novels, especially 'metamorphisis' as the protagonist struggles to figure out if he is a person or a giant cockroach ( he says 'vermin' in the book).
Ivan Damico The movie displays several kafkaesque themes like the isolation and disconnect of k and the ambiguity of his identity very closely resembles Gregors in metamorphosis.
Also I think its pretty ironic because in such dystopian times a name like Joe, which is the most average and vulgar name you can think of, can give you a human identity instead of just a serial number
Isn't that "Engineer" in fact a model of a replicant like Bautista's character? There's a medium shot later and we see it's his type of replicant model
There were two references to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep that you missed. When K asks Doc Badger if he knows where the wood for the wooden horse came from, Doc Badger asks K if he would like a real horse or a real goat. In the novel, Deckard asks his neighbor about getting a real horse and wants to save up for a real goat.
Another easter-egg absolutely NO one has mentioned is the particular note/key which Officer-K happens to find his biggest clue (under the piano-top) is the EXACT same key Deckerd kept repeatedly hitting (during the 'Unicorn' scene) in the 1st movie. Once I heard that key...I could'nt help but remember it. Some things just 'stick' in your brain forever...
That would have been great, but Deckard repeatedly presses the A key, (sounding an A flat, since the piano is out of tune.), while K finds the clue stuck on the E key, one octave higher. Is there a version of the 1982 film where Deckard presses the E key?
@@coldandwetvfx very very doubtful, as Ridley Scott is legendary (within the movie-biz) for looking after 'continuity-issues' completely on his own, without the need for anyone hired to do that particular job, and he would've made DAMN sure that the key Harry Ford was hitting (in the dream-sequence) is the same key used in the sequel. He is a stickler for details, hence why all his movies just 'feel' good to immerse-oneself into.
@@sjames5694 I'm sure that is true about Ridley, and K is still finding the clue behind a different key in 2049 : the E key. I trust you'll easily be able to confirm this yourself by checking both movies and comparing.
Those are not Easter eggs. Especially not huge ad placement like Atari which we certainly couldn't "Completely Miss". But you guys missed the obvious reference to Soylent Green when K goes home and his flat has loads of people living in the stairs and corridor, and that old lady yells at him.
Cat Mayrant Where are you getting this "most countries' from? Only America writes the date the way some dumb ass founding father wrote it on the declaration of independence. Everyone else writes it in the normal format of dd:mm:yyyy
PaintedW0LF Yeah but with all the language mixing I'm pretty sure America dropped all of their stupid different nonsense, like the dating, but also the gallons/miles systems.
The scene where gosling is leaving LA and headed towards Vegas includes an shot where he is flying beneath several large ships. One looks like the SULACO from aliens. Waiting for the DVD to check for sure but it def caught my eye during the film
You guys do know that the blade runner universe takes place in a world where the Berlin wall wasn't torn down? Companies like Pan Am still exist in 2049, because they still existed in the original Blade Runner and Ridley Scott could not have predicted that some of these companies would go bankrupt in the nearby future.
As an old Atari fanboy from the 1980's I was looking for an Atari sign in Blade Runner 2049. Boy did the movie deliver!!! Also noticed the Pan Am sign... gave me an idea: since the original Blade Runner is set in this decade (Roy Batty's inception date is January 8, 2016, after all) maybe the Blade Runner films are set in an alternate universe very similar to, but just a little different from our own. Technology has progressed just a bit faster, and some companies that went out of business in our universe did not go out of business in that one. Just a theory.
The USS Sulaco is in one of the scenes when K is driving in the spinner at the seawall, it looks like it is docked, Joi looks up at it as it is reflected in the windscreen then it is seen briefly in a long shot straight after.
Guys missed one...."Her eyes were green".... In the original film Sean Young wore Green contact lenses to appear slightly more robotic. In an injoke of an Easter Egg, Deckard is able to tell the Clone is imperfect because it has Brown eyes.... However Sean Young actually returned to the film and actually shot that scene with CGI facial de-aging which is why she is credited in the credits. Her actual eye color is brown.... She wasn't wearing the green contacts which she famously hated wearing(because they were uncomfortable) in the original film! They turned her natural Brown eyes into the explanation for how Deckard is able to tell the clone was imperfect because her character Rachael had the Green eyes....You missed it because you didn't realize it was actually her!
Saw it tonight, absolutely amazing sequel and to be honest i was one of the people who never wanted a sequel. one thing i was looking out for but didn't notice was a blue neon dragon, came here to see if i had just missed it.i was expecting that as ridley had it all over the original. ps damn i wish i could see it again on imax
donnchaOdalaigh I first saw it in 3D which I regretted cause it make it look darker and smaller. 2nd time I saw it in true IMAX and there were many things I missed the first time. There's a lot of detail on the screen. IMAX is the absolute best way to see it.
I love how they continue the vision of the future from 1982, instead of resetting it to the vision of the future from now. It makes sense that Atari and Pan Am would still be there. This movie is so well done on so many levels. Such a great departure from the purely Entertaining comic book movies... this is true film making. An instant sci fi classic if you ask me
the note K plays on the piano before meeting Deckard is the first dominant note in K & Joi's 'Love theme' that plays during their rain and love scenes.
How about that flying garbage barge, dumping refuse in San Diego? I thought that was a reference to Soldier, the Kurt Russell movie, supposedly sharing the Blade Runner universe.
There is a Clockwork Orange reference. When K is walking through the Las Vegas sculptures two nude women, porcelain in color, and facing each other are posed very much like the the nude women sculptures, porcelain in color, facing each other in the Korova Milk bar from "A Clockwork Orange". And the sky and ground were, you guessed it, Orange in color.
Paul Porter actually I thought that scene was a reference to the never ending story where the main protagonist has to pass between 2 statues that stare at each other
Electrolysing plain water (by passing a current through it) will cause it to fractionate and produce hydrogen and oxygen. You may even be left with a little mineral salt which you can use to season your Solyent Green!
The encased Replicant looks exactly like the Bautista replicant ...therefore, the base model for Sapper Morton...and NOT anything like an Engineer. I wonder how many other "easter eggs" you have invented in this video?
Take a closer look at the small wooden "horse" K has the memory about.....It has a small bump on its head where a unicorn's horn has been broken off....I think its actually a unicorn.
Atari is still operating today. As a rebranding of the French videogame holding formerly known as Infogrammes. Pan Am did die though yes, for the fifth time, in 2014. There's no reason the Pan Am name can't be bought again though.
The start of Blade Runner 2049 is a callback to the development of the first movie. In the developmental stage of the original it was suggested as a way to introduce deckard in a way that is almost exactly mirrored in 2049 with the cabin and the farmer
The flying cars being a peugeot was kinda cool and unexpected. Maybe its an ode to the french. After all blade runner is also very much influenced by french cyberpunk like metal hurlant :)
And the bald guy in the film is a worker in "Hanson Robotics" that actually really create robots in real life. Sophia is a famous robot produced by this Company. Interesting cameo
@looper pretty good list. You missed one significant detail concerning the origami that Gaff drops at the end of his scene. Yes it's a sheep and a call out to the original novel 'Do androids dream of electric sheep', but that isn't the whole of that scene. The title to the book has a dual meaning, 'dream of electric sheep' means aspire for an electric sheep, as Deckard in the book owns an eclectic goat, but aspires for a real one. In the scene in 2049 Gaff sets the sheep down while delivering the line "maybe he found what he was looking for". That is more than an Easter egg, it is the point of the film, Deckard ran away with Rachel (his sheep)... finding what he was looking for. The whole scene is just a way of telling the audience that what we suspect up to that point is true.
The fact Wallace wants to populate all parts of the World with Replicants and wants that by reproduction could be also an Easter Egg to Aliens. He says only 9 planets were inhabited and that could suggest the link to the Alien Covenant plot to inhabit other planets. Another Easter Egg is Replicants kissing each other during or before fights. That happens on Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049 and Alien Covenant.
You missed the significance of Gaff's sheep aside from the title reference. He sets it on the table as he says that Deckard finally got what he wanted. In P.K. Dick's novel, everyone's goal in life was to obtain a real animal to care for as a sort of penance. If someone couldn't afford a real animal, they cared for realistic (cheaper) replicant ones to keep up appearances. Deckard's dream was to save enough to buy a real sheep rather than a replicated one.
The ads make sense. Innovation and business flourish with consumerism. If the human race is starving and dying of disease, no-one is going to invest in a new games console or car. Wallace became successful because he solved humanities hunger crisis. His business was successful because it was utilitarian. Peugeot kept making cars because they were the guys making the cars. No one has the time or money to make new cars. Also, it’s not pronounced ‘poo-jo’ it’s more like ‘pur-jo’.
Even if Atari had been acquited by Hasbro (and subsequently by Infogrames), the brand name is still used. To acquire a brand does not mean to kill a brand...
“Cells interlinked within cells interlinked” - one can not exist without the other. “Within one stem. And dreadfully distinct” - And all must complete a common goal, though all are different. “Against the dark, a tall white fountain played” - Against the darkness we shall rise as one. One can not exist without the other and all must complete a common goal, though we are diffrent.Only then we shall rise against the darkness as one. Thats what I think it might mean ( my opinion) - maybe it’s a refrence to the upcoming blade runner where not all the cells ( the people) work as one and thus offsets the balance.
Absolutely superb movie. Visually stunning and I'm glad they did the original justice. This is a movie that makes you think and question. So different from the usual drival of Hollywood.
Well, didn't they make another Easter egg to the Alien universe? It may have not been in the movie, but they had it in the short that was about Wallace. The people he was meeting with mention the name "Weyland".
Also when K plays on the piano to find the hidden baby sock, he plays the first part of Mary has a little lamb with the bad key hitting on lamb. Maybe another PKD reference?
I think there is a Easter egg where both Harrison Ford’s and Ryan Gosling’s characters from each film play the exact same note on the piano in that scene.🎹🎼
This is the worst collection of "easter eggs" I've ever seen. 80% was just product placement stuff that was super obvious, and that shit about the engineer from Prometheus ... that was just so wrong I don't even know where to start.
In the original Blade Runner, Rachel sits at the piano and plays a single key multiple times after she finds out she is a replicant. Now in 2049 a single key has the photo stuck behind it in the shack where Rachel gave birth and K also plays a single note on the piano right before Deckard appears. Now I'm not sure on this but MAYBE every-time they play the piano it's the same note. Not sure, seems like something they would have done ;)
Let’s not forget about the appearance of a character clearly resembles Caliban from the X-Men.. right when K searched for Rachael’s archive in the Wallace building
2049 was the Gone with the Wind of Sci-Fi movies... a long, slow moving plot epic, but gorgeous visuals..... I wonder if the dog's name in the movie was Chewie? That would have been cool.
Ridley Scott did confirm that Alien and blade runner are the same universe. Also other easter egg link them directly like cargo boxes in Bladerunner labeled "Waylan Utani"
When K has the wooden horse analyzed, he is told it's worth enough to buy a real horse or goat. In the novel, Deckard tries to purchase a real horse but has to settle for a live goat with the bounty money from the retired replicants.
There was also a ship in the sky during the San Diego scene that looked identical to the Sulaco, another thing that possibly ties Blade Runner in with ALIEN.
The baseline tests are to trigger and measure emotional responses. When KD6-3.7 (20 nerd points) hesitates in the second test after his arrest, the topics get restarted (within cells interlinked) and he's triggered down another line of questioning (dread). Think of the baseline test like a line of code--it runs it's course, and if the subject gives a noticeable response (like hesitating, thinking about that girl, refocusing then responding) then it notices the anomaly and investigates further using that "dread" line. And that whining thing with the long slit is totally reading his mind. Or his electro brain. Probably the latter. I think that's how it works
In bladerunner 2049 there is still the soviet union, in fact on the hologram of the ballerina in a scene at the beginning of the film there is written "product of CCCP"
I think there was a Spider-Man 2 Easter Egg when K was getting his horse checked out by someone. On a screen, it said "Tritium," the same element Otto Octavius needed. Idk, I could be wrong lol
You forgot the pot of soup at the beginning of the movie, if you watch Dangerous Days, the documentary about the original. That scene is how the original movie was supposed to begin. With a large man in a hazmat suit coming in on Harrison Ford sitting in the kitchen while a pot of soup is bubbling on the stove, Ford was supposed to have shot and killed the man without a word being spoken.
Gaff's origami sheep had two meanings. As he set it down, he said of Deckard, "Maybe he found what he was looking for." The name "Rachel" is Hebrew for "ewe."
Also, anyone else notice if that was Demis Roussos at the top of the stairs when K goes into his apartment, screaming in an unknown language? According to the story I've read, there was no credit given to Demis for working on the original soundtrack, and apparently its a cross of Greek and Arabic, which it does sound like.....The FIRST thing I noticed about that was that person yelling on the stairway, and thought, 'that sounds EXACTLY like the language in the ":tales of the future" track from the original , and , Demis also did several bits of audio around Taffy's bar, and apparently a few others, and was not credited at all, but I am not sure. anyone?
The guy in the glass case that looked like an engineer was the replicant that K killed at the beginning of the movie I am pretty sure, or a model of him as it's big and pretty close in likeness. Not sure how many other people spotted this.
I'm sure the figure Chaff made was Deckard's dog rather than a sheep. I suppose it was supposed to foreshadow that he knew where Deckard was but never said so.
What other Blade Runner 2049 Easter eggs do you think should've made this list?
The Engineer theory was proven wrong, so you probably should remove it from your thumbnail. It makes the whole video look clueless.
when K visiting child workers' camp, they start touching and grabing him. it is kinda reminds me of "Indiana Jones and the lost temple"!
I can't be certain, but during the scene where K takes Joi on her first flight in the rain whilst heading to the San Diego junkyard, there is a shot of them looking up at a huge object with lights on it looming out of the clouds. To me, it looked suspiciously like the front end of the USS Sulaco.
Trees really are going to stop growing from the June 10th 2021 solar eclipse, but to make this link you first need to understand that the earth is flat, and there's a mysterious video online called "No forests exist on the flat earth".

And...when they get to San Diego, there are two waste haulers from Kurt Russell's "Soldier", dumping their garbage.

FabledSomething i hope this movie can break their 150million budget. These are the masterpieces i want to see in the cinema. If nobody is looking these movies hollywood is just going to make superhero movies like avengers because they make a lot of money at the box office
eeehmm what They've broken it but they need to get a 400mil box office to break even.
Star Wars is Sci-Fi and they still will make a lot this December. Nowadays, movies like Blade Runner will not appeal to goddamn millennials. Such a shame, movie is a masterpiece.
eeehmm what isn't it already like the best selling Blu Ray of this year ?
For the hardcore fans, here's some other easter eggs I picked up after watching it for the first time today:
1. The sound that Deckards' room makes in the scene where Joi is exploring it is exactly the low-freq sound in the original when Deckard is examining the photos on the Esper (also the same sound from "Alien" medical bay)

There might be more, I have to watch it again!!
Refuse2Lose33 When K goes to a man to analyze the wooden horse, this man offers him a horse and a sheep, the same animals which appear on the first chapter of the original novel.
Refuse2Lose33 I heard the sound too. Pretty cool
Refuse2Lose33. Look for "Riddick" on the wall in the orphanage factory stairwell.
Biggest Easter egg is how Deckard notes "Her eyes were green", Sean Young is actually reprising her role and she hated the Green contact lenses she wore in the original... Hence they cleverly turned it into how Deckard is able to tell she is a clone.... So that she didn't have to wear them again and could use her natural Brown eye color. Not many people realize that was really her playing the clone.
colliric Sure about that? All the material I've seen/heard was her likeness was used but for filming they used a combo of a stand-in and cgi
The encased replicant looks nothing like an engineer. Its just a bald dude. Pretty sure its just a mold of Bautista anyways
Cunning^Stuhnt-37
I thought it looked like Sapper. Idk.
Was just about to say the same. Obviously a design for the combatant type of replicant played by Bautista.
Hey Sloth55Chunk, your statement re: The encased replicant looks nothing like an engineer - hits the nail on the head and that is the Bladerunner world will meet up with the Alien universe. ALIEN meets BLADERUNNER - I believe that Ridley Scott.
Yes, it's always looked like Bautista to me, no matter how often I've seen it.
“Poojout” lmao
They are not engineers, that makes no sense, they are just replicants.
It literally said Nexus 8 on the glass - the same series as Dave Bautista's character.
More of homage? A replicant that looks like an engineer.
The director could of just tossed that in there to fuck with people.
Luke.. Yes i thought that figure looked a lot like that character
MovieFan 77 the one he refers to is the Dave Bautista "blanc" if you will. It's the shell of his replicant model.
That's interest. Making a replicant Engineer would have REALLY pissed the Engineers off even more! As long as there's no Alien vs. Blade Runner movie. ;) It is fun that they're in the same "universe".
In 2049 they could easily make paper from synthetic cellulose or something
People. Like Soylint Green, paper is people!!!!
No nothing grows, no cellulose fibers anywhere. It could be a plastic of some kind used in some countries currency maybe...
The key prop 'horse' has a rough square patch on it's head suggesting that it is a broken unicorn.
:O good spot! Gonna have to watch it AGAIN (3rd time) now!!!
Movie is just amazing, gorgeous, great story, the soundtrack, just damn, see it at the movies on a giant screen and that shit loud af
TheSpanishzombie Yes! The sound was amazing. I saw it at an Archlight theatre, their sound system was great!
Loved the movie, but the soundtrack was my one disappointment.
It's not bad, but it doesn't hold a candle to the music of Vangelis.
hongquiao This. It's the Marvel soundtrack of Blade Runner.
Sound was SO good the sound of the city was so eerie and when ships were flying around
I think it damaged my hearing slightly in the theater. No regrets though, I'd do it again.
I watched the original when it was out and I enjoyed it and I am a fan of PKD's writing. I went and watched 2049 yesterday and was happy to find I really enjoyed it. I was afraid I was going to be finding myself watching another film revision of a great original film that should be left alone but I am happy to say I was wrong.

K is a replicant - that much is revealed literally minutes into the film. As for Deckard and the question wether he is a replicant or not, the answer isn't important. The question is important.
Original BR is about a man who thinks he may be a replicant. BR 2049 is about a replicant who thinks he may be a man.
That wasn't an engineer that was the Batista NEXAS 6 model
NEXUS 8, but yeah, I was thinking the same thing. They even show a close up of it where you clearly see it's Bautista
sorry NEXUS 8, and yeah you can see it's him
Okay so somebody else did notice this lol
8
You mean the Bautista nexus 8 model. He was a nexus 8. But yes, no way was he an engineer.
each Blade Runner is the science-fiction/anticipation masterpiece of its generation
At the scene K is checking the DNA's, Joi says (AS good as I remember it) "you are made of four different signs, GACT. I'm made just with two, zeros and ones" K response "you have half the signs but double the charm". It's a great reference to the dialogue Roy and Tyrell had, were Roy is disappointed to have such a short live and did nothing great, Tyrell responding quoting Lao Tzu "The flame that burns Twice as bright burns half as long".
Was totally impressed how hard that scene hit me, remembering it.
Also, an easter egg from the book "comfort and joi", were the character is zooming in over and over again in the photo of Joi (again an easter egg with the whole picture zooming), until "the square mosaic of the pixels started to reveal itself at the edge of her lips and around her Iris of her eyes. Joi reconstructed out of zeros and ones"
The whole connection between Joi and K was IMAO a parallel quest of being more human (Joi and Roy) as they were original constructed, wanting to become more in front of their connection (K and Tyrell), Joi with loving K in the end and dying and Roy hating Tyrell and killing him.
Goslings characters name Joe K also seems to allude to Josef K the name used in Kafka's novels.
Max Fox, it could be a combined reference of Kafka and Philip K. Dick. As soon as he was called "Joe", I thought the same thing.
Wow good call, there are MANY what I would say vague references to Kafka's novels, especially 'metamorphisis' as the protagonist struggles to figure out if he is a person or a giant cockroach ( he says 'vermin' in the book).
Ivan Damico
The movie displays several kafkaesque themes like the isolation and disconnect of k and the ambiguity of his identity very closely resembles Gregors in metamorphosis.
Cat Mayrant
Absolutely agree Cat. I've seen the movie twice now and it's inspired me recently to read K DIcks novel Ubik.
Also I think its pretty ironic because in such dystopian times a name like Joe, which is the most average and vulgar name you can think of, can give you a human identity instead of just a serial number
Product placements are not easter eggs.
Dumbass, it wasn’t product placement, it was paying homage to the original blade runner which showed those brands in advertisements
Literally only one of those was an Easter egg
Isn't that "Engineer" in fact a model of a replicant like Bautista's character? There's a medium shot later and we see it's his type of replicant model
thought the same thing
There were two references to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep that you missed. When K asks Doc Badger if he knows where the wood for the wooden horse came from, Doc Badger asks K if he would like a real horse or a real goat. In the novel, Deckard asks his neighbor about getting a real horse and wants to save up for a real goat.
Another easter-egg absolutely NO one has mentioned is the particular note/key which Officer-K happens to find his biggest clue (under the piano-top) is the EXACT same key Deckerd kept repeatedly hitting (during the 'Unicorn' scene) in the 1st movie. Once I heard that key...I could'nt help but remember it. Some things just 'stick' in your brain forever...
Yep, I noticed that too.
That would have been great, but Deckard repeatedly presses the A key, (sounding an A flat, since the piano is out of tune.),
while K finds the clue stuck on the E key, one octave higher. Is there a version of the 1982 film where Deckard presses the E key?
@@coldandwetvfx very very doubtful, as Ridley Scott is legendary (within the movie-biz) for looking after 'continuity-issues' completely on his own, without the need for anyone hired to do that particular job, and he would've made DAMN sure that the key Harry Ford was hitting (in the dream-sequence) is the same key used in the sequel. He is a stickler for details, hence why all his movies just 'feel' good to immerse-oneself into.
@@sjames5694 I'm sure that is true about Ridley, and K is still finding the clue behind a different key in 2049 : the E key. I trust you'll easily be able to confirm this yourself by checking both movies and comparing.
I've never heard Peugeot called poo-jo before 😂
Haha is that how americans say Peugeot? mad thing.
Only French people can say it correctly anyway, like any other car brand and their original name language I guess
@@lecoureurdesbois86 everyone says it correctly in Hungary and in most eastern european countries, but you almost got it bud
Those are not Easter eggs. Especially not huge ad placement like Atari which we certainly couldn't "Completely Miss". But you guys missed the obvious reference to Soylent Green when K goes home and his flat has loads of people living in the stairs and corridor, and that old lady yells at him.
i caught it as soon as she said it.
6-10-21 would be read as October 6, 2021 in most countries.
Cat Mayrant America is the only one that’s matters
+Kobra Thor I did, in Italy
Cat Mayrant Where are you getting this "most countries' from? Only America writes the date the way some dumb ass founding father wrote it on the declaration of independence. Everyone else writes it in the normal format of dd:mm:yyyy
I actually read it as oct 6 and found it cool because in 6 oct was the premiere of blade runner
PaintedW0LF Yeah but with all the language mixing I'm pretty sure America dropped all of their stupid different nonsense, like the dating, but also the gallons/miles systems.
The scene where gosling is leaving LA and headed towards Vegas includes an shot where he is flying beneath several large ships. One looks like the SULACO from aliens. Waiting for the DVD to check for sure but it def caught my eye during the film
Dr. Badger offers Deckard a goat. A goat is what Deckard wanted to buy in Do Androids Dream it Electric Sheep.
And then Rachael shot it
Nice spot, it's been too long since I've read the book
He offers K a goat, not Deckard.
You guys do know that the blade runner universe takes place in a world where the Berlin wall wasn't torn down? Companies like Pan Am still exist in 2049, because they still existed in the original Blade Runner and Ridley Scott could not have predicted that some of these companies would go bankrupt in the nearby future.
"Easter eggs in Blade Runner 2049" shows screenshot of Prometheus
Cameron Archuleta also the SULACO flying overhead briefly. Will eee to watch again as well but pretty sure it was
Really when was that?
toocool691 the thumbnail is a screenshot of Prometheus
It's not the Sulaco, but very well could be a Conestoga-class military transport ship. Blade Runner 2049 takes place roughly 100 years before Alien.
HAVE YOU WATCHED THE WHOLE VIDEO??? It's the last easter egg that's showcased lol Prometheus easter egg
As an old Atari fanboy from the 1980's I was looking for an Atari sign in Blade Runner 2049. Boy did the movie deliver!!! Also noticed the Pan Am sign... gave me an idea: since the original Blade Runner is set in this decade (Roy Batty's inception date is January 8, 2016, after all) maybe the Blade Runner films are set in an alternate universe very similar to, but just a little different from our own. Technology has progressed just a bit faster, and some companies that went out of business in our universe did not go out of business in that one.
Just a theory.
When K meets Deckard his dog in the shadows looks exactly like a sheep.
The USS Sulaco is in one of the scenes when K is driving in the spinner at the seawall, it looks like it is docked, Joi looks up at it as it is reflected in the windscreen then it is seen briefly in a long shot straight after.
Mind blown.
I thought that too
I saw that too. I don’t if know if it’s the Sulaco exactly. but it’s definitely the same kind of military warship.
When Gaf put the sheep down my thought was "do androids dream of origami sheep?" I also wondered how many people picked up on it
No free footage yet… but the hovering rubbish dumpsters look similar to those seen in SOLDIER, another in-universe movie written by David Peoples.
Not an engineer. Nexus 8, Aplha.
Guys missed one...."Her eyes were green".... In the original film Sean Young wore Green contact lenses to appear slightly more robotic. In an injoke of an Easter Egg, Deckard is able to tell the Clone is imperfect because it has Brown eyes.... However Sean Young actually returned to the film and actually shot that scene with CGI facial de-aging which is why she is credited in the credits. Her actual eye color is brown.... She wasn't wearing the green contacts which she famously hated wearing(because they were uncomfortable) in the original film! They turned her natural Brown eyes into the explanation for how Deckard is able to tell the clone was imperfect because her character Rachael had the Green eyes....You missed it because you didn't realize it was actually her!
Good one!
Saw it tonight, absolutely amazing sequel and to be honest i was one of the people who never wanted a sequel. one thing i was looking out for but didn't notice was a blue neon dragon, came here to see if i had just missed it.i was expecting that as ridley had it all over the original.
ps damn i wish i could see it again on imax
I just watched it tonight on imax too! Makes me wish I had my own imax house to rewatch it a hundred times I swear 😍😍😍
Kayla F I meant I wish I could see it in an imax. There's only one in the country and I'm 6 hour drive away from it
Oh dang I'm sorry to hear that!
It's so loud in the IMAX. I would highly recommend watching it again before its release
donnchaOdalaigh I first saw it in 3D which I regretted cause it make it look darker and smaller. 2nd time I saw it in true IMAX and there were many things I missed the first time. There's a lot of detail on the screen. IMAX is the absolute best way to see it.
Holy Crap! Bautista is an Engineer!!!
THANK YOU!!!...
You're the first english speaking youtuber to pronounce "Villeneuve" correctly! (VEEL-NUHV)
The pronunciation of Peugeot is horrible, though ;)
Finally watched it today.. Loved how every area from the city, orphanage area, to the old red sand city all felt like their own vibe.
I love how they continue the vision of the future from 1982, instead of resetting it to the vision of the future from now. It makes sense that Atari and Pan Am would still be there. This movie is so well done on so many levels. Such a great departure from the purely Entertaining comic book movies... this is true film making. An instant sci fi classic if you ask me
the note K plays on the piano before meeting Deckard is the first dominant note in K & Joi's 'Love theme' that plays during their rain and love scenes.
Anyone see the USS Sulaco from Aliens (it appears for a moment in the sky) - or at least another ship of its class?
Anti- Illuminati yes. Same ship class. I caught that too, above the dam.
How about that flying garbage barge, dumping refuse in San Diego? I thought that was a reference to Soldier, the Kurt Russell movie, supposedly sharing the Blade Runner universe.
No mention of the ship that looks alot like the Sulaco from Aliens that Joi sees when she looks up during her first spinner flight with K.
Christopher Flatt I thought the same when I saw that ship
There is a Clockwork Orange reference. When K is walking through the Las Vegas sculptures two nude women, porcelain in color, and facing each other are posed very much like the the nude women sculptures, porcelain in color, facing each other in the Korova Milk bar from "A Clockwork Orange". And the sky and ground were, you guessed it, Orange in color.
Paul Porter actually I thought that scene was a reference to the never ending story where the main protagonist has to pass between 2 statues that stare at each other
Good catch
One thing I don't understand: when all the trees are dead, how do they produce oxygen???
Algae in factories (I made that up, but there are plenty of ways it could be done)
Electrolysing plain water (by passing a current through it) will cause it to fractionate and produce hydrogen and oxygen. You may even be left with a little mineral salt which you can use to season your Solyent Green!
Damn! That's an excellent question!
The encased Replicant looks exactly like the Bautista replicant ...therefore, the base model for Sapper Morton...and NOT anything like an Engineer. I wonder how many other "easter eggs" you have invented in this video?
Take a closer look at the small wooden "horse" K has the memory about.....It has a small bump on its head where a unicorn's horn has been broken off....I think its actually a unicorn.
Yes! I remember thinking that while watching but forgot about it. Thanks.
Atari is still operating today. As a rebranding of the French videogame holding formerly known as Infogrammes.
Pan Am did die though yes, for the fifth time, in 2014. There's no reason the Pan Am name can't be bought again though.
How about the trash ships dumping? Looked an awful lot like Soldier to me.
The trash ships reminded me of the carryalls in David Lynch's _Dune_
Reminded me of the Robot being dumped at the beginning of Machinarium
Yes it is. Soldier and Blade Runner are in the same universe.
Plenty of references to the BR universe in Soldier...check Todd's campaign list.
Yep. Reminded me of the dump ships in Soldier, too.
Wow. So now we call any advertisement in movies "Easter Eggs"? Dafuq
The start of Blade Runner 2049 is a callback to the development of the first movie. In the developmental stage of the original it was suggested as a way to introduce deckard in a way that is almost exactly mirrored in 2049 with the cabin and the farmer
The world of Blade Runner is an alternate future. In that alternate future, Pan-Am and Atari still prominently exist.
The flying cars being a peugeot was kinda cool and unexpected. Maybe its an ode to the french. After all blade runner is also very much influenced by french cyberpunk like metal hurlant :)
And the bald guy in the film is a worker in "Hanson Robotics" that actually really create robots in real life. Sophia is a famous robot produced by this Company. Interesting cameo
@looper pretty good list. You missed one significant detail concerning the origami that Gaff drops at the end of his scene. Yes it's a sheep and a call out to the original novel 'Do androids dream of electric sheep', but that isn't the whole of that scene. The title to the book has a dual meaning, 'dream of electric sheep' means aspire for an electric sheep, as Deckard in the book owns an eclectic goat, but aspires for a real one. In the scene in 2049 Gaff sets the sheep down while delivering the line "maybe he found what he was looking for". That is more than an Easter egg, it is the point of the film, Deckard ran away with Rachel (his sheep)... finding what he was looking for. The whole scene is just a way of telling the audience that what we suspect up to that point is true.
"The Police" also have a song "Don't Stand so close to me" mentioning "A book by Nabakov", a reference to Lolita.
The fact Wallace wants to populate all parts of the World with Replicants and wants that by reproduction could be also an Easter Egg to Aliens. He says only 9 planets were inhabited and that could suggest the link to the Alien Covenant plot to inhabit other planets.
Another Easter Egg is Replicants kissing each other during or before fights. That happens on Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049 and Alien Covenant.
You missed the significance of Gaff's sheep aside from the title reference. He sets it on the table as he says that Deckard finally got what he wanted. In P.K. Dick's novel, everyone's goal in life was to obtain a real animal to care for as a sort of penance. If someone couldn't afford a real animal, they cared for realistic (cheaper) replicant ones to keep up appearances. Deckard's dream was to save enough to buy a real sheep rather than a replicated one.
The ads make sense. Innovation and business flourish with consumerism. If the human race is starving and dying of disease, no-one is going to invest in a new games console or car. Wallace became successful because he solved humanities hunger crisis. His business was successful because it was utilitarian. Peugeot kept making cars because they were the guys making the cars. No one has the time or money to make new cars. Also, it’s not pronounced ‘poo-jo’ it’s more like ‘pur-jo’.
Even if Atari had been acquited by Hasbro (and subsequently by Infogrames), the brand name is still used. To acquire a brand does not mean to kill a brand...
“Cells interlinked within cells interlinked”
- one can not exist without the other.
“Within one stem. And dreadfully distinct”
- And all must complete a common goal, though all are different.
“Against the dark, a tall white fountain played”
- Against the darkness we shall rise as one.
One can not exist without the other and all must complete a common goal, though we are diffrent.Only then we shall rise against the darkness as one.
Thats what I think it might mean ( my opinion) - maybe it’s a refrence to the upcoming blade runner where not all the cells ( the people) work as one and thus offsets the balance.
Absolutely superb movie. Visually stunning and I'm glad they did the original justice. This is a movie that makes you think and question. So different from the usual drival of Hollywood.
This movie is underated
Well, didn't they make another Easter egg to the Alien universe? It may have not been in the movie, but they had it in the short that was about Wallace. The people he was meeting with mention the name "Weyland".
The last engineer Easter egg was a bit of a *REACH.*
In fact, most of these weren't really 'Easter Eggs", but mere references.
Also when K plays on the piano to find the hidden baby sock, he plays the first part of Mary has a little lamb with the bad key hitting on lamb. Maybe another PKD reference?
Spotted the PanAm add. This indicates it's following the world line of 2019 of the 1982 movie, not our current timeline. A good visual cue.
I think there is a Easter egg where both Harrison Ford’s and Ryan Gosling’s characters from each film play the exact same note on the piano in that scene.🎹🎼
This is the worst collection of "easter eggs" I've ever seen. 80% was just product placement stuff that was super obvious, and that shit about the engineer from Prometheus ... that was just so wrong I don't even know where to start.
In the original Blade Runner, Rachel sits at the piano and plays a single key multiple times after she finds out she is a replicant. Now in 2049 a single key has the photo stuck behind it in the shack where Rachel gave birth and K also plays a single note on the piano right before Deckard appears. Now I'm not sure on this but MAYBE every-time they play the piano it's the same note. Not sure, seems like something they would have done ;)
Cool Eastereggs - thank you.
Let’s not forget about the appearance of a character clearly resembles Caliban from the X-Men.. right when K searched for Rachael’s archive in the Wallace building
How could Tyrell or Wallace be involved w/ the engineers, if the engineers engineered all of mankind to begin with?
This was very well done.
I thought that the white sheep represented the fact that K isn't a black sheep - he is a replicant, not special like he believes
2049 was the Gone with the Wind of Sci-Fi movies... a long, slow moving plot epic, but gorgeous visuals..... I wonder if the dog's name in the movie was Chewie? That would have been cool.
Ridley Scott did confirm that Alien and blade runner are the same universe. Also other easter egg link them directly like cargo boxes in Bladerunner labeled "Waylan Utani"
Except that its spelt "Weyland Yutani" in Aliens/Predator.
When K has the wooden horse analyzed, he is told it's worth enough to buy a real horse or goat. In the novel, Deckard tries to purchase a real horse but has to settle for a live goat with the bounty money from the retired replicants.
There was also a ship in the sky during the San Diego scene that looked identical to the Sulaco, another thing that possibly ties Blade Runner in with ALIEN.
The baseline tests are to trigger and measure emotional responses. When KD6-3.7 (20 nerd points) hesitates in the second test after his arrest, the topics get restarted (within cells interlinked) and he's triggered down another line of questioning (dread). Think of the baseline test like a line of code--it runs it's course, and if the subject gives a noticeable response (like hesitating, thinking about that girl, refocusing then responding) then it notices the anomaly and investigates further using that "dread" line.
And that whining thing with the long slit is totally reading his mind. Or his electro brain. Probably the latter.
I think that's how it works
K's memory of the furnace is a child with hair. All the orphan boys were bald.
I love this movie
Blade runner and aliens are in the same universe.
One of the best movies I ever seen in my life and I've seen a ton.
Hot damn this movie ain't even a week old yet. Slow your roll Looper.
I caught the Peugeot sign in the film too. Still it adds to the realism when the fucking thing crashes.
"You always know a Working Joe." ;) AKA Officer K!
In bladerunner 2049 there is still the soviet union, in fact on the hologram of the ballerina in a scene at the beginning of the film there is written "product of CCCP"
"Was that an engineer?" No...it wasn't
Exactly, it’s the ‘Bautista’ military model. I’ll run with the Tyrell - Weyland link though, tenuous as it is.
The replicant doesn't look enough like an Engineer for me to make that connection. Not big enough. The Engineers are huge.
that wasn't an engineer. it was the model of replicant that Dave Bautista was supposed to be. like it was another batista.
I LOVE THIS FILM ‼️It truly is the best sequel to ever been done to BLADE RUNNER (1982)
I think there was a Spider-Man 2 Easter Egg when K was getting his horse checked out by someone. On a screen, it said "Tritium," the same element Otto Octavius needed. Idk, I could be wrong lol
You forgot the pot of soup at the beginning of the movie, if you watch Dangerous Days, the documentary about the original. That scene is how the original movie was supposed to begin. With a large man in a hazmat suit coming in on Harrison Ford sitting in the kitchen while a pot of soup is bubbling on the stove, Ford was supposed to have shot and killed the man without a word being spoken.
Noticed a half of that. I'm proud of me.
Pretty sure the room in which we find Edward James Olmos in was used in Fringe, as part of St. Claire's.
This might have to be my favorite sci fi film of the year
Gaff's origami sheep had two meanings. As he set it down, he said of Deckard, "Maybe he found what he was looking for." The name "Rachel" is Hebrew for "ewe."
Also, anyone else notice if that was Demis Roussos at the top of the stairs when K goes into his apartment, screaming in an unknown language? According to the story I've read, there was no credit given to Demis for working on the original soundtrack, and apparently its a cross of Greek and Arabic, which it does sound like.....The FIRST thing I noticed about that was that person yelling on the stairway, and thought, 'that sounds EXACTLY like the language in the ":tales of the future" track from the original , and , Demis also did several bits of audio around Taffy's bar, and apparently a few others, and was not credited at all, but I am not sure. anyone?
The guy in the glass case that looked like an engineer was the replicant that K killed at the beginning of the movie I am pretty sure, or a model of him as it's big and pretty close in likeness. Not sure how many other people spotted this.
I'm sure the figure Chaff made was Deckard's dog rather than a sheep. I suppose it was supposed to foreshadow that he knew where Deckard was but never said so.
