00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future of movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic.
00:05In this video, I'll share a predictive Easter egg to the American Pie teen comedy film series.
00:14You can see it in the 1989 video game Road Trip Adventure film The Wizard.
00:22This comes via a reference to the Double Dragon arcade video game from 1987.
00:30The Wizard starred Fred Savage, Luke Edwards, Jenny Lewis, Bo Bridges, Christian Slater.
00:37When stepfather Sam decides to have Jimmy committed to a mental institution, he runs away from home with half-brother
00:46Corey.
00:47They made it with Jenny Lewis' character, Hayley, on the road.
00:51They discovered Jimmy's talent at playing video games.
00:55They come up with a plan to hitchhike cross-country to try to get Jimmy into the video Armageddon game
01:04tournament.
01:05Contemporary video game titles are shown in The Wizard.
01:09Many relate to releases via the Nintendo Entertainment System home console.
01:15At 19 minutes, 4 seconds, the trio play Double Dragon.
01:20The section of the game is stage 3.
01:24Part of this level involves a bridge that has collapsed in the middle.
01:30Jenny Lewis' character is playing.
01:32She gets knocked off the bridge into the river.
01:35The Technos Famicom NES version of Double Dragon from 1988 is shown.
01:41In the original arcade version of this exact scene, a feature of the bridge stands out in the foreground.
01:50It looks a lot like the Greek alphabet letter for Pi.
01:55That's P-I.
01:56Having been shown in the movie, I thought there was some greater significance to this.
02:01It turns out that actor Luke Edwards has a cameo in 2001 comedy sequel, American Pie 2.
02:11He plays a high school teenager.
02:14So P-I, this title is spelled P-I-E.
02:18Also in this cast, Jason Biggs, Shannon Elizabeth, Allison Hannigan, Sean William Scott, Eugene Levy, and Chris Klein.
02:28Actor Robert Patrick was later in the 1994 Double Dragon action film, along with Mark DiCasso, Scott Wolfe, Julia Nixon,
02:40Alyssa Milano, Vanna White, and Andy Dick.
02:44And Eddie K. Thomas, who played Paul in the American Pie series, later acted together with Robert Patrick in the
02:55Scorpion action drama TV series broadcast on CBS between 2014 and 2018.
03:03They were both part of the main cast.
03:05Thomas plays Tobias, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist.
03:10Robert Patrick plays Agent Gallo.
03:13My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
03:15There I go back and look at movies and television from the past.
03:19I analyze these for possible references to future media.
03:22These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams.
03:26Hidden in the subtext of the work in question, I also use an unconventional method where I look at the
03:32likenesses of the actors.
03:36What I found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items, and show
03:42past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television
03:50episode that you're watching.
03:54My email contact is Easter Egg Guy, that's G-U-Y, at Yahoo.com.
04:01Thanks for watching.
