Tucked away in the Sierra Army Depot is an AI called Skynet, which you can actually install into a Robobrain chassis and bring along as a companion. It's a cheeky nod to a certain killer AI from another franchise, minus the part where it tries to wipe out humanity.
Robert De Niro was reportedly offered the role of Jack Sparrow ahead of Jim Carrey, but passed because he was convinced pirate movies were box office poison. When the film went on to make hundreds of millions, he took a role in Stardust instead, chasing that same swashbuckling fantasy lightning. It didn't strike twice.
UNIQLO's UT label first teamed up with One Piece for the franchise's 20th anniversary, and it's become a recurring partnership rather than a one-off. The brand has continued releasing themed T-shirt collections tied to specific arcs, including drops built around the Egghead and Elbaph story arcs years later.
The actual voice of video game Mario, Charles Martinet, shows up in the movie itself. He plays a character called Giuseppe who's hunched over an arcade cabinet playing a game called 'Jump Man', which is a cheeky nod to Mario's original name from the 1981 Donkey Kong arcade game.
While working in the gift shop stockroom, Steven hands his coworker Donna a box full of plush toys shaped like the hippo goddess Taweret. It's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, but it's really the show quietly planting the seed for one of the biggest reveals of the season.
Before this movie, The Spot was mostly treated as a joke villain, even showing up briefly in the 90s and 2017 animated Spider-Man shows without ever being taken that seriously. Miles actually calls him out as a 'villain of the week' early on, which is a pretty knowing nod to how little weight the character used to carry.
There's a subtle detail in Gollum's design: his pupils actually change shape depending on which personality is talking. Smeagol gets wide, innocent-looking eyes, while Gollum's pupils shrink down to something meaner.
The stealth mission technically lets you go loud if you fancy it. Shoot down the enemy helicopter patrolling overhead with a Stinger and, in the remastered version at least, you actually get an achievement for it rather than being punished for breaking stealth.
Find a miniature chess board somewhere in the Wasteland and you'll be able to pick up tiny Nuka-Cola bottles, bears, and gnomes. Carry only one at a time and they'll stay miniature-sized in your inventory, a strange little physics quirk players still swap tips about.
Under a wooden staircase in the Imperial Granary in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms you can loot an Enchanting Fruit Hat. Wear it and your character dances constantly, even on a mount. The best bit is in your Warlords garrison, where every follower and worker lines up behind you and dances along in a conga line.
