Tomb Raider/Trivia


 * Fan Nickname: The "Unknown Entity" that posesses Amanda in Peru is commonly known as "Fluffy" in the fandom.
 * "Doppleganger" was known early on as "Bacon Lara", and the new and improved Doppelganger is sometimes called "Dopplehoe" or shortened to "Dopple" or "Doppie".
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Amanda is Phil and Lil.
 * James Rutland is voiced by The Batman.
 * Lara Croft is being hunted down by either Teddie, Cielo or Katsuya Suo and a french Captain Qwark.
 * Anniversary!Tihocan was either Vayu, a raccoon ninja or the incompetent leader of a gang of hired thugs in a past life.
 * Anniversary!Natla sounds like an older Azula.
 * Tomb Raider II and III have a male cast voiced by Simon Greenall, best known as Michael from I'm Alan Partridge and a certain meerkat.
 * Alister is Anders and Johnson.
 * In the Crystal Dynamics continuity, Lara herself is voiced by Keeley Hawes of Tipping the Velvet and Ashes to Ashes fame.
 * Shout-Out
 * There's a rolling giant boulder trap in Legend, prompting "Aww, hell no," from Zip.
 * There's a rolling giant boulder trap in the Tomb of Qualopec in Anniversary. If that weren't enough it was recently discovered that the giant boulder has a bullwhip and Indiana Jones -type hat flattened onto it.
 * Also, in the "Angkor Wat" level in The Last Revelation, Lara comes across a spike trap... and in the middle of this spike trap is a skeleton, an Indy-style hat, and a whip. (Quite possibly a Take That.)
 * The portrait of Kain (as a human) from the Legacy of Kain game series hangs in the lobby of Croft manor in the Crystal Dynamics games.
 * Lara's Goth outfit has Kain's emblem on her belt buckle as well as Raziel's emblem stamped on her wet suit.
 * The Soul Reaver is an unlockable special weapon in Legend.
 * Croft Manor in the Crystal Dynamics games is ripped straight from the live action movies.
 * The Ark of the Covenant peeking from the lobby crates in the original Tomb Raider.
 * During Lara's battle with the Skateboard Kid, when you start to shoot him he'll say "Are you firin' at me? You firin' at me? Ain't nobody else here; you must be firin' at me!"
 * A large semi-hidden hand at one point in Guardian of Light looks quite similar to the famous Midas hand.
 * One of the cutscenes in Tomb Raider II has Lara entering a room in the Temple of Xian and spying on the happenings below, which involves members of the Fiama Nera cult ominously chanting. This is definitely a reference to Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom.
 * One of the trophies in the PS 3-updated Legend is "THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS."
 * The T-rex becoming a Living Motion Detector in Tomb Raider III is a reference to Jurassic Park.
 * The fate of the RX-Tech mine workers and the entire level "RX-Tech Mines" in Tomb Raider III seem to be inspired by The Thing.
