Future References To The Burbs ('89) In Paperboy ('85) Arcade Video Game! Dragnet ('87) & Tom Hanks

While recently playing 1985 Atari arcade game Paperboy I thought I spotted more than a few past / future references to movies associated with actor Tom Hanks.
- In 1987 Hanks & Dan Aykroyd formed a cop comedy duo in Dragnet.
- Aykroyd was later in 2015 sci-fi comedy Pixels about alien invaders who take on the form of video game characters. Paperboy has a cameo in this.
- A major Tom Hanks movie with possible reference to Paperboy: Joe Dante dark comedy The Burbs in '89.
- Actress Carrie Fisher appears in this, engaged to Dan Aykroyd in the early '80's.
- The imagery between The Burbs & Paperboy I thought very similar:
- Hanks plays an middle class suburban husband. The Klopek family who live in an old run down house in their neighborhood draw suspicion due to their living habits. After a neighbor goes missing, a dog digs up a human Femur bone, prompting further inquiry into possible foul play by the Klopeks.
- In the Paperboy game the player controls a boy riding a bicycle through a neighborhood, certain houses are marked as subscribers where you try to throw the newspaper into the box or at the doorstep. Obstacles must be avoided & several houses have a creepy / anti social design motif (ie: painted black, red windows, tombstones appear on the front lawn / what looks like a black hearse must be avoided in the driveway).
- In the opening of The Burbs a paperboy is shown riding through the neighborhood. The colors on his bicycle (blue, pink, yellow & black) match up to a lawnmower seen in the Paperboy game.
