Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) I was watching the Brain Attack episode on the Hero Factory site the other day, and I noticed that at one point where the Brains have Alpha Team stuck at a three-way intersection, a poster for a movie can be seen. It is an obvious parody of the famous movie "Jaws," and is instead named "Jawblade," complete with matching font, background and a picture of Jawblade approaching a female robot in the same manner as the shark from "Jaws." I was wondering if anyone else has noticed little tidbits like this in Lego media, especially Bionicle/Hero Factory. Feel free to post anything like that, and have a good time!

Kopekemaster Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I seem to remember that Bionicle did have quite a bit of pop-culture/real-world references in it. I can't think of any specific examples, though. This was one contributing factor to the "comatose" theory that sprung up on the forums a few months ago, though. 1 Quote My Writing Blog (more writing coming soon!)

The 1st Shadow Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Brothers In Arms, where Vultraz mentioned "clicking his red feet together and wishing real hard," was a reference to the Wizard of Oz, though that one was kinda obvious. I'm sure there are others I just can't think of at the moment. 2 Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meiko Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Well there's a ton in the LEGO Movie. Many parts of the movie's humour comes from real-world references such as the "Orb of Titleist" and many others.

Meyres of Drifting Huna Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 In the Serpentine story arcs in Ninjago, there are Members of the Fangpyre tribe that have Two heads. Believe it or not, some snakes in real life actually have Two heads. Quote Link to my comics coming soon... once I start them, that is.

You just lost the game Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 The recent Minifigures online vid has a reference to Monty Python at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akavakaku Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Karda Nui, an immense spherical cavern at the heart of the Mata Nui robot, so big that it has its own sky and its own sea, and lit by a glow from its upper reaches, is just like the center of the earth in Journey to the Center of the Earth.

ALVIS Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Well, Vezon is a pretty good source of these, such as when the Federation of Fear crew found Miserix. This one's particularly relevant to the example cited in the OP. (Gang sees Miserix in his gigantic dragon form)Brutaka: Don't say it.Vezon: We're gonna need --Brutaka: -- a bigger boat. I know. (Love how Brutaka totally sees this coming, BTW.) 2 Quote "You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion.
