\nRobert Grimminck<\/span><\/strong> and Listverse<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0present 10 Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed in Famous Crime Films<\/a><\/span>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Grimminck’s list<\/strong> contains several eggs from movies that were new to me, but my favorite from his list was for Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof<\/em><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\n

Quentin Tarantino is known for the complexity of his film universe and for his love of pop culture. It should be little surprise that his contribution to the Grindhouse<\/i> double feature has a few Easter eggs in it.<\/p>\n

For example, in the opening scene in the bar, on the wall is a tank top with a samurai in front of a rising sun. This was the same tank top that Jack Burton wore in Big Trouble in Little China<\/i>. Jack was, of course, played by Kurt Russell, who is Death Proof<\/i>\u2019s villain, Stuntman Mike.<\/p>\n

This leads to two more Easter eggs, which are the license plates of Stuntman Mike\u2019s cars. On the first car, the plate says \u201cJJZ-109,\u201d which is the same plate as the car of Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen) in Bullitt<\/i>. The second plate is \u201c983-DAN,\u201d which is on the Dodge Charger that the main characters drive in Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry<\/i>. Both movies are famous for their car chases. In fact, Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry<\/i> is one long car chase.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The list is worth a look. \u00a0Nice work, Mr. Grimminick<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
