• As usual, Strange things 3 was full of tributes and tributes to the pop culture of the 80s.
• terminator and Fast times were obvious, but what else was there?
• Here are some examples that you probably noticed and that you may have missed.
It's been in Hawkins, Indiana, and invading the city for the third season is: a shopping mall for women and teenagers, hundreds of fashion items, figurines action, cartoons, cereal boxes, meticulously placed accessories, New Coke, and & # 39; The song NeverEnding Story – everything here to remind us that, yes, we get it, Strange things is put in the 1980s. Unfortunately (or luckily), the show also know that it takes place in the 1980s and the show know that we know it was in the 1980s. When did watching television become so meta?
Although we can not catch all the Easter eggs, here are the greatest references of 80s movies to the world. Strange things 3. Prepare your video recorder.
1. Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
IMDB
There are a lot of Phoebe Cates references in Strange things 3. Cates plays Linda Barrett in 1982 Fast times. Not only does Karen Wheeler wear Cates' famous swimsuit in a pool scene, she topples a Cates cardboard cutout in the video store during the last episode. Oh, and Dustin says his girlfriend (Suzie-Poo!) Looks like Cates, "only warmer." Damn, why not just name a character, Linda?
2 The day of the Dead (1985)
IMDB
Strange things 3 actually opens and closes in a movie theater, the first sequence of characters taking place during the projection of The day of the Deadand the final-ish sequence during Back to the future (1985). (And then the show really ends in a VHS store, where the massive theater experience will die.)
The day of the DeadHowever, it is better to inform this season than Back to the Future. In many ways, Strange things 3 is played as a typical campy monster / zombie horror thriller. Gender conventions started very well with 1985 The day of the Dead.
3 the terminator (1984)
IMDB
Short cut hair, boots, staccato speech, machismo unstoppable and hard-hitting. This Russian hitman was perhaps the least subtle reference of the season. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's the Terminator. Damn, Mayor Larry Kline (the character of Cary Elwes) even literally says "That's Arnold Schwarzenegger." And we hope he will not come back.
4 Magnum, P.I (1980-1988)
IMDB
Hopper's clothing choices this season (read: buttoned Hawaiian shirt) as well as this ginormous thing above his lip recalls Tom Magneck, of Tom Selleck, of Magnum, P.I, which aired for the first time on CBS in 1980. David Harbor also shared a very funny homage on his Instagram account. Guess it would make Joyce Higgins?
5 Rambo (1985) Indiana Jones (1984) Die hard (1988)
IMDB
Once they've gone terminator, Strange things All in all with the 80s action movies. In one scene, Hopper is nicknamed "The Fat Rambo" for his bravado and instinct. Erica also refers to "traps" when she tries to infiltrate the Russian base. Steve's attempt to keep the door open as the team rushes Indiana Jonesesque. As for the Hans-Gruber gun error, the back of Hopper's head … yeah, it's all right. Die hard. Have we forgotten references from Chuck Norris?
6 Cheers (1982-1993)
IMDB
The clumsiness of Joyce and Hopper finds priority in film in Ted Danson and Shelley Long. Cheers characters. Cheers Joyce also plays in the flashback: she and Bob are sitting on the couch in the classic style of the TV dinner of the 80s.
7. James Bond (1962 -), Red Dawn (1984)
IMDB
As soon as Soviet forces appeared in Hawkins, you knew that there would be at least some allusions to the Cold War movie. The scene of the funhouse mirror is perhaps the most obvious: screaming at The man with the gold pistol (1974). The torture scene of Steve and Robin alongside Hopper and the disguised gang infiltration equals Bond every ten years. Admittedly, it could also be classic tropes of Cold War film rather than explicit reminders of 007.
Yet, we like to think that there was a spy thriller somewhere in Strange things 3. As for all those high school students inadvertently sucked into a Russian plot? This comes straight from Red Dawn.
8 The thing (1982)
IMDB
John Carpenter's monstrous 1980s film is perhaps the most direct cousin of Hawkins' Mind Flayer movie. Like The Thing, Mind Flayer prefers the cold – the sauna scene with Billy, a strategy used by both castes of protagonists. Like the Thing, the Spirit Flayer also plays a mind-possession game of the city. And like The Thing, the Flayer of the mind is just pretty handsome.
9 Extraterrestrial (1979)
IMDB
The way Mind Flayer gushes out of Eleven's ankle and slips around the mall and the hospital, slides down to Eleven and Nancy and yells at them – yeah, that's great! Extraterrestrial. Eleven herself can be seen as a sort of Ripley, trapped with and battling the monster.
ten. Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi (1983)
IMDB
Star wars In 1985, the sensation was so popular that even Steve, an illiterate filmmaker, could name him during his interview with a video club. Which? The last installment culminates with the most famous moment of redemption of characters of all time: Darth Vader thrown with Emperor Palpatine. We do not say that Billy is Vader, but we do not say that Billy is not Vader. Also note the moment of strength similar to Luke, like Eleven, where she tries and fails to lift the car from the mall – just as Luke failed to free his X-Wing fighter from the Dagobah Marsh.
You'll get them Strange things 4, El.
