Tomb Raider/Trivia: Difference between revisions

** "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 [[Rugrats|Phil and Lil]].

** Alister is [[Dragon Age|Anders]] and [[Shadows of the Damned|Johnson]].

** In the Crystal Dynamics continuity, Lara herself is voiced by Keeley Hawes of ''[[Tipping the Velvet]]'' and ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]'' fame.

** 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 [http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=150201 flattened onto it].

** 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.

** 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''.

** 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]]''.

** 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 (film)|The Thing]]''.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: ''The Angel of Darkness'' was supposed to be the first game in a trilogy. {{spoiler|Karel}} was supposed to survive and be in Turkey, trying to bring back his fellow Nephilim. Kurtis's fate apparently depended on how much the fans liked him (i.e. he would come back if he was really liked, or he would not if he was really disliked). Of course, since ''The Angel of Darkness'' [[Executive Meddling|failed miserably]], the trilogy idea was scrapped and ideas attached to it along with it.

** Also in the same game, the watch Lara can find in Francine's apartment was supposed to play a bigger role or at least have a sub plot of its own.

** Jean-Yves was planned to be killed in the beginning of the game instead of Werner, and Werner instead was going to play a much larger role in the game.
