In this video I point out a possible future reference to the American Pie (1999-2020) comedy series of movies. You can see it in 1989 video game / road trip adventure film The Wizard. At 19 minutes 4 seconds in the trio Corey (Fred Savage), Haley (Jenny Lewis) & Jimmy (Luke Edwards) are playing Double Dragon ('88 Technos Famicom / NES version shown). In-game footage from stage 3 can be seen at the area where a bridge has been collapsed in the middle.

In the same part of the game in original '87 Taito arcade version, part of the bridge railing remains, it looks like the Greek alphabet letter "PI". Interestingly, Wizard actor Luke Edwards later had a cameo in American Pie 2 in 2001.
Actor Robert Patrick (known as the T1000 in T2 Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)) also appeared on-screen together with Eddie Kaye Thomas in the CBS action drama Scorpion.

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.
