00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future in movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic.
00:05In this video, I'll point out some future references and other synchronicities that may appear in the Ninja Gaiden arcade
00:15game.
00:16This was out in 1988 by Japanese developer Tecmo, released in Japan as Ninja Ryuken and a beat-em-up
00:24platform side-scroller.
00:26This led to a series of ports and sequels for home consoles.
00:32Alright, the bosses of round two, the New York City stage, are a tag team duo called the Doro Warriors.
00:42Listen to the theme music here and you may be able to make out a similarity to Black Sabbath's 1970
00:51rock song, Iron Man.
00:54This track hit number 52 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972, becoming their highest-charting single.
01:03Ozzy Osbourne on vocals, Tony Iommi on guitar, Geezer Butler on bass, and Bill Ward on drums.
01:12On the Ninja Gaiden arcade game original soundtrack, this appears as track 7 and titled, I Am Man.
01:19So, not Iron Man, but again, very similar.
01:24So, the two boss characters.
01:26These two may have been inspired by the professional wrestlers, the Road Warriors, also known as the Legion of Doom.
01:34Hulk and Animal.
01:36And they wrestled with AWA, American Wrestling Association, between 84 and 86.
01:42They used Black Sabbath's Iron Man as their entrance theme.
01:45They later wrestled with WWF, New Japan Pro Wrestling, WCW, and WWE.
01:54Black Sabbath's Iron Man, of course, was featured more recently as the theme to the Marvel Cinematic Universe film.
02:02It starred Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark from 2008.
02:08Interesting about the Road Warrior wrestlers.
02:10I bought comic books in the early 90s, and these two were featured in an ad that was included on
02:19the back cover of many prominent comic books of the time.
02:24This was promoting the FCI NES game, a Famicom game, WCW Wrestling, World Championship Wrestling.
02:33This was released in 1990.
02:36Playable characters, Ric Flair, Sting, Lex Luger, Mike Rotundo, Ricky the Dragon, Steamboat, and Rick Steiner.
02:43The Road Warriors were super popular at this time.
02:48Soon after this game was released, they famously left WCW in June of 1990 and signed with the WWF, the
02:58World Wrestling Federation.
02:59They fought a big match against three other wrestling teams, including the Steiner Brothers, in 1989's Iron Man Tag Team
03:08Tournament at WCW's Starrcade.
03:11My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
03:14There I go back and look at movies and television from the past.
03:17I analyze these for possible references to future media.
03:20These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams.
03:25Hidden in the subtext of the work in question, I also use an unconventional method where I look at the
03:30likenesses of the actors.
03:34What I found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items,
03:40and show past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities
03:46that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching.
03:52My email contact is easteregguy, that's G-U-Y, at yahoo.com
03:59Thanks for watching.
