This joke landed strongly for me, as Hawkeye wasn’t even in Infinity War because he was allegedly with his family. In the Ice Box, after having his powers taken away by the neck collar, Deadpool says he feels worthless like Hawkeye with his bow and arrow. Not that Cable can take his off like Bucky. He also calls Cable’s arm a Winter Soldier arm. Wade calls Cable Thanos right off the bat, setting the stage for more beats. Having his film released two weeks after Avengers: Infinity War probably played a major role in his decision to change things up. The DCEU normally takes the brunt of Deadpool’s jokes, but this time around Wade seemed to have his eyes on the MCU. This time, however, instead of showing off his belly, Wade performs the classy move used by Sharon Stone (Catherine Tramell) in the 90s flick Basic Instinct - showing off more than anyone wanted to see. While chilling with Al and letting his legs grow back, Deadpool is wearing the same button-down shirt Chunk (Jeff Cohen) was wearing when performing his now famous Truffle Shuffle. The second Easter egg is a little harder to catch but downright hilarious. It was Willie’s map Mikey found in his parent's attic, dragging Brand on an adventure he didn’t ask for. Wade whips out his ko katana samurai blades and states, “Bring it on One-Eyed Willie.” For those too young to remember, One-Eyed Willie was the infamous captain of the pirate ship featured in Goonies. The first takes place while Deadpool is facing off against Cable on the transport.
Deadpool 1 vs 2 movie#
There are two instances where Deadpool takes advantage of this, reminding Brolin of the movie that launched him into stardom. Brolin’s role in Goonies was as Brand, Mikey’s (Sean Astin) older brother. Josh Brolin (Cable) played an imperative role in the 1980s cult classic in which he’s been vocal about his love/hate relationship with the film since its release. 30 Truffle Shuffle Back To The 80sĭeadpool clearly has an infatuation with the 80s, but that’s not why he’s dropping Goonies Easter eggs in Deadpool 2. Spoilers Ahead! No unicorns or rainbows were harmed during the penning of these events. If you haven’t seen Deadpool 2 yet, what are you waiting for? Go see the film. Each entry contains several Easter Eggs, so don’t skip reading. Want to know more? Then you’ve come to the right place. The James Bond Easter Egg was perfectly executed, but I felt the text this time suffered from duplicate beats. I know I’ll take some heat for saying this, but except for the opening sequence, I think Deadpool 2 was better than the first Deadpool film (albeit not by much, though). I’ve always been a fan of the Deadpool comics, and his character, which makes seeing these films a double delight.
Investing his own time, and at one point his own money, Reynolds has a passion for Deadpool and for satisfying the die-hard fans. Ryan Reynolds cracks a ton of jokes, but when it comes to the character Deadpool and the movies, he’s very serious. Normally, only the MCU pulls in numbers like this. These record numbers bring it in just shy of Spider-Man 3 which brought in $59 million. With a budget of $110 million, Deadpool 2 earned $53.3 million on Friday, also claiming the adult-audience record for that day. And the trick worked, because as of the time of writing this article, Deadpool 2 has already crushed the records set by Deadpool and It (both movies not intended for children). Playing off its spoof origins, the movie catered to true Deadpool fans by dropping literally hundreds of Easter Eggs.
Like a nice sorbet after a meaty meal, Deadpool 2 was the refresher superhero fans needed after Avengers: Infinity War.
