Future Easter Eggs To Emilio Estevez Roles In Paperboy ('85) Arcade? Men At Work & Stephen King

Part 12 - 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 sign you'll see on the street in Paperboy reads "MEN AT WORK". This was also the title to a 1990 comedy written by & directed Emilio Estevez, co-starring Charlie Sheen.
- I did some previous videos on some possible easter eggs in 1983 horror anthology Nightmares, in which Estevez played a video game ace who winds up fighting the game characters themselves in the real world after they escape the arcade machines.
- Although a few years before Paperboy there are several Atari arcade cabinets in the film from the time period.
- Tom Hanks was also reportedly considered for the role of youth hockey coach Gordon Bombay in The Mighty Ducks in 1992.
- In another video I talked about Hanks in '89 Joe Dante comedy The Burbs. Dick Miller & Robert Picardo played garbage men in this & I often think about the similarity of these characters to Men At Work.
- In another video I mentioned the possible easter eggs to horror author Stephen King in Paperboy. Estevez had starred in his only directorial credit, Maximum Overdrive in '86 where cars, trucks & machines are possessed by an alien force. They come to life haunting & stalking any humans in the area.
- I also did a recent video on Paperboy & cyberspace / cyberpunk movies. Emilio Estevez was in a role like this: time travel thriller Freejack in 1992. I thought the premise similar to films that came later in the '90's such as The Matrix.
