"Robot" on the guitar pedal doesn't seem to be a reference to anything in particular, but the "R" is lifted from the Ryobi power tools logo.

I agree with Blade Runner for the origami, Edward James Olmos' character has a thing with them.

I'd add that the shots at 3:03 and 3:20 are also straight from Buckaroo Banzai.

Great movie. And yeah, Edward James Olmos is definitely not in it, so not sure about that tag. I guess James Earl Jones and Edward James Olmos are kind of similar names.


Lol, I wasn't even thinking what I was putting in the tags. Messing up James Earl Jones and Edward James Olmos is just my personal mental mess-up (dang you Galactica!)

Edward James Olmos? WTF?

Edward James Olmos @ 4:40

Bob Hoskins deserved a Best Actor Oscar for this film. The men nominated that year were Tom Hanks for Big, Gene Hackman for Mississippi Burning, Max von Sydow for Pelle the Conqueror, Edward James Olmos for Stand and Deliver and Dustin Hoffman won for Rain Man. I've seen all those, and none of them can compare to Hoskins' work in this film. His co-star didn't exist! He not only had to play his character, but convince the rest of us of the reality of the animated ones. The nominees had the advantage of playing off other actors.

I remember the other version with the Gilligan-esque round window viewing the Colony ships.

I <3 Edward James Olmos. He makes the show in spite of crappy Starbuck "revisioning" trying to destroy the show from the inside. I think she has to be a Cylon because of how horrible and distracting she is from a good show and good acting.
