Described as "Truman's World" with more action scenes, "Runaway Player" starring Ryan Reynolds Has everyone watched it?
The film, which began to be prepared before Disney acquired Fox, in addition to many familiar video game memes, also made a lot of jokes about its new boss.
The following is to help you sort out the Easter eggs and details in "Out of Control Player" for everyone to play.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="3" > meme known to game fans</h1>
The main setting for Runaway Player is an open-world game called Liberty City, which is an obvious parody of Grand Theft Auto's concept of the game and the fictional city of the same name.
According to the scene designer of "Runaway Player" when interviewed by the US media, "SimCity" and "Red Dead Redemption 2" are the biggest inspiration for the design of this movie.
Runaway Player opens with Channing Tatum's game character Avatar falling from the sky, and the graphics here pay homage to battle royale games like Blizzard's Fortnite and PUBG.
He then staged an exciting car chase.
Seeing that he can fall into a sports car at will is also a tribute to the terrier who can drive at will in "Grand Theft Auto".
There was even a similar vehicle from Fortnite.
Channing Tatum is also the only character in the film's guest star to appear twice.
His second appearance was as one of the security guards in the cameo hideout, and he also deliberately imitated the movements of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War.
At the end of the film, the lightsaber in the male protagonist's hand actually became one of the props in "Fortnite": the rainbow horse hoe.

In addition to the channing Tatum mentioned above, I found at least 5 big names.
The protagonist of "Runaway Player", "Gai", has a very regular daily routine, that is, to go to work at the bank and then encounter robbery, skillfully lying on the ground.
And this robber who comes to "report" every day and breaks into the bank wearing a skull mask is the voice actor behind the scenes is Dwayne Johnson.
He and Ryan Reynolds recently collaborated on the Netflix film Red Notice, starring Gail Gadot.
Is this the first time the two have worked together? In fact, no, as early as 2019's "Fast and Furious: Special Operations" Ryan Reynolds had a cameo appearance, but this time the subject of the cameo was replaced by Dwayne Johnson.
It is said that this time Johnson is a bit miserable, the robbery is not successful, but was taken off by Reynolds sunglasses and killed.
When Gai went to the bank to collect the money, the paper money was drawn according to the standard of US dollars. But the founding father above is not Franklin but Taiga Viditti, which is really a bit "skinny".
The first player character (the masked intelligence dealer) that the heroine Millie encountered in the back alley after she went online was voiced by Hugh Jackman, who participated in the X-Men series "Uncle Wolf".
Needless to say, his friendship with Ryan Reynolds, who is "Deadpool", has long been known. Since they worked together in "Wolverine", there seems to be no intimate cooperation on the same stage.
But outside the play, the two have maintained a very good friendship. It's no surprise that "Runaway Player" director Sean Levy was able to find a cameo in Uncle Wolf's friendship.
After the male protagonist became popular in the play, the well-known puzzle game show "Edge of Danger" also used him as the title, in which the host Alex Tribeck also made a cameo role, and he starred in his true colors.
Unfortunately, he died of pancreatic cancer during the film's extension last year at the age of 80. It was also his last work.
In addition, there is another big name in the "Edge of Danger" program, that is, The husband of Oscar actress Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, in which he voices a Tibetan mirror challenger.
Because I only recently revisited his Manchester by the Sea, I am all too familiar with his voice.
Again, "Edge of Danger," a quiz show with a theme called "Famous Blake," immediately occurred to the point-eyed audience, which was a spoof of Ryan Reynolds's wife, Blake Lively.
Interestingly, her image in Gossip Girl is also used as a model for the characters of the players in Liberty City, and the girl in the school uniform also kicks the hero's key.
As Guy pulled out his U.S. shield to fend off Dodd's attack, "True Captain America" Chris Evans watched the live stream with his phone in the café, sat down and blurted out, "What the sh*t?"
His appearance is arguably the biggest surprise of the film.
According to the director's later reveals, Ryan Reynolds learned that Ivan was also nearby during filming, so he called and invited him to come and make a cameo for a few minutes, but he readily agreed.
So there is such a witty scene.
Tina Fei, a comedy star who starred in "I'm a Comedy Maniac," made a cameo appearance in the film as a well-known screenwriter who won eight Emmy Awards.
Cleaning with a vacuum cleaner when my son is playing games, a particularly funny scene has become a big laugh in the whole film.
The son's character is played by Marty Cardarop, who made a cameo appearance in Seasons 1-3 of Stranger Things.
His identity is that of Chanin Tatum as a real player outside the game.
In his room you can see the posters of Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool, The X-Files, etc.
It's a disney assembly.
In addition, even the "Rick and Morty" poster owned by Warner Bros. is in his room, as well as the Funko POP doll of DC Comics villain Joker.
There are also ghost-shaped table lamps from Pac-Man, Skeleton Jack, the puppet of the mushroom-headed Chinobio, and dungeons and games disc Ostrich Knight.
There are a lot of real-life YouTube live UP main cameos in the film, which is based on what they revealed in the video, forgive me for not knowing one!
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="41" > classic movie scenes</h1>
Regarding the male protagonist's name "Guy" in the film, this seems unremarkable, but in fact, this is the third time that Ryan Reynolds has played the role of this name, the first two are animated films, namely "Crazy Primitive" and "Crazy Primitive 2".
At the end of the film, The big boss of the game company outside the game world, played by Taiga Viditti, enters the game control room like a madman, and takes a hoe to cut all the servers.
This image certainly pays homage to the famous scene in The Shining where Jack Nicholson slashes a door with an axe in his hand.
Anduan summoned the "strong man version of the curator" to get rid of the male protagonist, at this time the male protagonist summoned the shield of the US team to block the attack of Director Du, and also used the hand of the Hulk Hulk to counterattack.
At this time, the theme music of "The Avengers" of "The Avengers" was also played in the background.
The protagonist Guy also attacks the curator with the lightsaber used in Star Wars, and also sounds the soundtrack of the Star Wars pounds.
Another wonderful thing about the background music is that when the male protagonist is chased by two programmers, he remembers Miley Cyrus's "Wrecking Ball", how many of this famous song is a claw heard from "QQ Speeding Car".
When Guy realized that he was in a hypocritical world, he walked unacceptably onto the road when he was hit by two cars in a row.
This scene is a tribute to Brad Pitt's The Sixth Sense of Life and Death.
In the real-life room, Millie can see a holographic projection of "Pixie" and a poster of "Iron Giant", and it is interesting that the copyright of "Iron Giant" belongs to Warner Bros., which is the second Warner IP that appears in this film.
The girl who controls the character "Black Lively" outside the game can find magnetic stickers on her Apple laptop with Ice's Elsa and Snow.
It can be seen that this is not only as a prop, but also can see the intentions of the crew.
In addition, you can see the back of a robot in the background, familiar fans and friends will know at a glance that this is a T-800 Terminator robot from "Terminator 2018", and the copyright of this film originally belonged to fox in the twentieth century.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" data-track="69" > other</h1>
Guy and Millie go to the hiding place to look for evidence of the original code, but are caught by the guards here and caught in a firefight.
At this time, the cover has been upgraded, so the Rock Cannon of Mega Man is used to attack.
Guy and Millie manage to escape with their parachutes from Fortnite and head to Guy's storage room.
We could see that one of the shuttles had the Flags of the United States and Canada on it, which was quite detailed.
Because Ryan Reynolds himself has dual citizenship of the United States and Canada.
I think the biggest Easter egg in this film is the "satire" of Disney.
Big boss An Duan and employees said that players like this game will always have sequels, everyone likes sequels why do they have to do original? Of course, this directly complains about the new owner Disney (and most of the current mainstream movies, video games, etc.) in recent years, and has continued to make sequels or remakes of live-action versions in recent years, and previously played this meme in the trailer at the end of July.
I just don't know how Disney bosses feel after watching it!
In the film, you can see some of the background characters of the entourage doing some inexplicable actions, such as turning in circles, constantly hitting the wall, feet underground and other funny pictures, in fact, this echoes various unknown bugs in the game.
Gamers can also be seen doing strange dances or moves, like the floss of Fortnite.
Checked the information, this is from the YouTube post-00s Internet celebrity Backpack Kid on the variety show performance.
How many surprises did you see with sharp eyes?
What is more expected is that after Disney acquires Fox, if it can continue to carry forward the Fox style, it is the best!
