Here is a list of winks that you can discover through
BoOzy' OS and the Cristal Gem.
Throughout the adventure,
The Cristal Gem refers to most of
Ken ARSYN movies (in order of appearance):
๐
"The Cockbitosaurus" (short film, 2010): the dinosaur that tries to devour
OSmic the Hedgeh' OS
is the one that spreads terror in the forest in the original movie.
๐
"The Cockbite" (short film, 2010): snakes, butterflies and some plants are coming from the animated introduction of the film.
๐
Cow Hard (short film, 2010): the man proposing his services to
SkoOlet' OS and inviting him to get in his race car in exchange for a gold ring
is none other than the "prehistoric version" of
Victor Chai (and the "prehistoric" vehicle is a "
Massd' OS RX-7").
The conversation between the two protagonists is the same as in the original movie.
๐
Melting-Cop (feature film, 2010): the woman crossing the road with her pram is the one who gets hit by the truck in the original movie,
but this time only the baby is crushed (by the race car of
Victor Chai).
๐
Stop-and-Cop (short film, 2009):
Poli' OS, the cop, tries to stop
Victor Chai's car, taking the same pose as in the original film.
His tonfa is replaced by a bone. But this time, the car dodges the cop.
๐
SynCop (medium-length film, 2010): the symbolic tree of the film appears in the scene where the cop fires at the fleeing car.
๐
Ken Arsyn's Synaude (series, 2010):
PoOlet' OS's medallion is none other than the logo of the
Synaude series.
Many posters are present throughout the film.
They present
BoOzy' OS in situations borrowed from great classics of animation (in order of appearance):
๐
Aladdin (
Disney version, 1992):
Aladdingue poster, that will become
Aladding.
๐
The Lion King (
Disney version, 1994):
Le Roi Fion poster.
๐
Beauty and the Beast (
Disney version, 1991):
La Belle et la BoOz poster.
Other
BoOzy' OS posters also caricature great fiction films (in order of appearance):
๐
Avatar (
James CAMERON, 2009):
Avatarรฉ poster.
๐
Cliffhanger (
Renny HARLIN, 1993): press article titled "
Cristal and Girls".
๐
Back to the Future (
Robert ZEMECKIS, 1985):
BoOz to the Future poster, stuck to the "
b' OS" (the bus).
๐
99 Francs (
Jan KOUNEN, 2007): like the animated part of the satirical comedy,
Victor Chai's car makes a turn on itself
when jumping over Lake Annecy.
Video games are not left out, with the parody of many titles (in order of appearance):
๐
Streets of Rage /
ใใขใปใใใฏใซ ๆใใฎ้ๆณ Bea Nakkuru: Ikari no Tekken /
Bare Knuckle: Furious Iron Fist
(
SEGA, 1991): the introduction music of the film, also repeated in the end, is inspired by the rhythm of
Round 4 (
Bridge)
in the
Mega Drive /
Genesis game.
๐
Earthworm Jim (
Shiny Entertainment, 1994): the movements and mimics of the character created by
Douglas TENNAPEL
and programmed by
David PERRY have influenced those of
BoOzy' OS.
๐
Mario (
Nintendo, 1981):
Mari' OS, the mustachioed and paunchy villain of the story, wearing a cap bearing the symbol of a sickle,
parodies the mascot designed by
Shigeru MIYAMOTO.
๐
Sonic The Hedgehog (
SEGA, 1991): when he chases
Mari' OS,
BoOzy' OS turns into
OSmic The Hedgeh' OS,
referring to the character created by
Naoto ลSHIMA,
Yuji NAKA and
Hirokazu YASUHARA.
Both musics of the
Cristal Gem Zone are also inspired by
Sonic.
๐
DOOM (
id Software, 1993): the flaming skull chasing
BoOzy' OS is a nod to the
lost souls from the game created by
John CARMACK,
John ROMERO and
Adrian CARMACK.
Finally,
The Cristal Gem is a wink to a well-known work:
๐
Tarzan of the Apes (
Edgar Rice BURROUGHS, 1912):
Tarz' OS, the monkey leaving the posterior of the "
b' OS",
clings to a liana (which is none other than his tongue), while his name scrolls through the forest behind him.
