00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future of movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic.
00:05There are a lot of strange and interesting Easter eggs in the original Double Dragon arcade game from 1987.
00:14One that I never expected to see in this game may relate to the Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Peanuts gang,
00:23a cartoon and comic strip written and illustrated by Charles M. Schultz.
00:27This became a real cornerstone of American pop culture.
00:32So for this one I was again tipped off by a piece of music present on the soundtrack.
00:40You can hear this in Double Dragon 2 The Revenge, the 88 sequel arcade video game.
00:47The track listing for this tune is Mission 2.
00:51Also the opening tune to Mission 1 in the NES Famicom version.
00:57It's not exactly the Peanuts theme, but it could easily be a rearrangement.
01:04Another intriguing connection that may exist here relates to Swiss watchmaker Omega.
01:10Double Dragon was adapted to a live action movie in 1994 starring Robert Patrick, Mark DiCasso, Scott Wolf, Julia Nixon,
01:22and Alyssa Milano.
01:23Now DiCasso, who is an accomplished commercial artist, played the lead in Redemption Kickboxer 5.
01:31This was out in 95, and if you know this movie series, it was a big action hit when it
01:38got started in 1989 starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.
01:42Omega watches can be seen on the wrist of Van Damme in many of his movies,
01:48including in the Sui Hark directed 1997 action movie Double Team,
01:56which starred Van Damme, NBA basketball star Dennis Rodman, and Mickey Rourke.
02:03Now the Peanuts connection.
02:05Omega developed its Speedmaster chronograph so that astronauts could wear it in the American space program.
02:14NASA officially qualified to watch for space flight.
02:19In the 60s, NASA wanted to use the Snoopy character to represent this award.
02:25They talked to Charles Schultz, who was a big fan of the space program.
02:30And after the crew's safe return in the Apollo 13 mission in 1970,
02:37Omega was awarded the Silver Snoopy, which is a special honor given to NASA employees and contractors
02:45for outstanding achievements related to human flight safety or mission success.
02:50In subsequent years, Omega has sold some commemorative watches based on the Snoopy Moonwatch.
03:01Possible nods to Omega in the Double Dragon 2 arcade game.
03:07Toward the end of mission 3, you're walking through a farm.
03:11You come up on the combine harvester tractor.
03:14Note the canal.
03:15The shape of it may be similar to the Omega emblem.
03:19Immediately after this area, you clear what looks like a wheat field, a backdrop.
03:26And then you can see a fenced off field area where several cows are grazing.
03:35As it relates to this, the word moon.
03:38Cows make a sound and it's moo.
03:41So moo and moon.
03:43My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
03:45There I go back and look at movies and television from the past.
03:49I analyze these for possible references to future media.
03:52These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams, hidden in the subtext of the work in question.
03:59I also use an unconventional method where I look at the likenesses of the actors.
04:06What I found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items,
04:11and show past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities
04:17or may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching.
04:24My email contact is easteregguy, that's G-U-Y, at yahoo.com.
04:31Thanks for watching.
