Easter Eggs To Author Stephen King & IT ('86) In The Paperboy ('85+) Video Games?

Part 5 - 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.
- A few references may be seen in Paperboy linking to horror author Stephen King.
- Hanks appeared in the '99 adaptation of The Green Mile.
- There are 2 lawnmowers in the original Paperboy game. I mention King's Lawnmower Man in another video.
- In '91 sequel game Paperboy 2 there may be a nod to Stephen King's '86 novel IT. The story follows 7 kids stalked by an evil spirit manifesting as Pennywise, a clown.
- Large green claws & arms come out of the storm drains between the street and sidewalk, attempting to grab the player on the bicycle in Paperboy 2. The same imagery is described in the IT novel and was shown on the novel covers & in the adaptation TV mini-series in 1990 & movie (2017).
- IT character Reginald "Belch" Huggins had a job as a newspaper delivery boy in the story.
