Classic video game fans and non-fans, alike, were sure to love Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. With an amazing cast and a super cute Sonic, these movies were fun for all. But, did you notice how many pop culture references that were made in these films? Sure - when something gets an animated adaptation, we tend to expect plenty of nods to its source material, and Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 have their fair share of those. From a subtle nod to Sega Genesis to a very niche reference to an old Robotnik puzzle game, there were plenty of self-referential moments in the films. But, the movies also had some more unexpected references. From nods to classic movies like Speed, The Naked Gun, and Men in Black to multiple different mentions of Vin Diesel, there were plenty of references that we were surprised to hear. If you’ve got a good eye for product placement, you surely heard some not-so-subtle nods to businesses from Olive Garden to Zillow. Other references were all over the map, like a mention of Charlotte’s Web and even a ZZ Top cover band. Robotnik even likens himself to none other than Neil Armstrong. Movie buffs surely caught the nods to Ghostbusters and
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and they may have even caught the joke behind Robotik’s mystery language. And, if you happen to be a Parks & Recreation fan, you surely heard something special in the second movie. These movies have a reference for everyone, and we’ve got them all.
