Viewtiful Joe: Difference between revisions

Line 188:

*** The reference goes further: in the ''Viewtiful Escape'' level, Joe makes a bet with Another Joe that whoever loses the fight has to wear a yellow scarf. This is a reference to the original [[Kamen Rider]]: Kamen Rider 2's most obvious difference from his predecessor's appearance was his yellow scarf (as opposed to 1's red scarf).

** Six Machine being similar in sound to the famous [[James Brown]] song "Sex Machine", anyone? Also, if Joe's [[Only One Name|last name]] is indeed the same as Jet's, it might be a reference to the movie ''[[Meet Joe Black]]''.

** MADOW is ''chock-full'' of 'em. Gadget-Cop is ''[[RoboCop]]'', Killer Hands is ''[[Edward Scissorhands]]'' with less creepy/JohnnyDepp, Alter Woman is a homage of the various [[Incredible Shrinking Man|size]]-[[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever|changing]] [[Sizeshifter|characters]] in [[Comic Books]], but is primarily a nod towards [[Ultraman]], and the Meta Rangers are an [[Affectionate Parody]] of ''[[Sentai]]''/''[[Kamen Rider]]''.

** The evil organizations? Early Showa-era ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' all the way. Complete with [[Boss Subtitles|boss titles]].

** The second level in ''Double Trouble'' has one to ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. Complete with the lobby music from the police department.
