"Nice Shoes"

A high profile government agent is called in to witness the autopsy of an extra terrestrial after it's spacecraft crash lands on earth. In a desperate act of compassion, the agent abducts the alien and runs through time and space to save its life and return it to the mothership.

But in this case...time and space is a chaotic trespassing through every random retro sci-fi film that we could cram in to three minutes. There's over 40 individual references - see how many you can spot.

Things i'd like answered...

:47 What is the neon sanctuary sign from? (they had "sanctuary" in Logans Run but don't know if there was a neon sign)

:50 Is the SETI helicopter from anything?

1:01 Tatoo on womans arm seems familiar, but can't place it. Also is the scanning the eyes with a handheld device from something in particular?

1:18 The ROBOT sign seems familiar. Probably due to the font and particularly the "R".

2:22 What is the image on the watch from?

2:42 What is the Oragami and toy car from? Also is Quark from something?

2:45 Glowing object?

2:52 Chinese looking logos and walking through doorish type thing?

3:29 Can't place what that is from, but looks super familiar.

BSRsays...

Lots of tough ones here. Not having much luck researching.

The tattoo is just Starbucks tattoo from BSG

Watch image is from Metropolis, I think.

Origami is from Blade Runner, car too I think.
Quark was a bar tender on Star Trek : Deep Space 9

Also pretty sure the lab techs have Dharma Initiative patches from Lost

"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.
