well we can certainly see that this
movie was made with love
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
Easter eggs from it
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at our favorite Easter eggs from
2017 it these references can be
shoutouts to the original novel the 1990
miniseries or any of the various works
by Stephen King number 10 the Bradley
Gang mural since the novel weighs in at
a hefty 5,000 or so pages it spends a
lot of time detailing the storied
history of Derry Maine since the movie
obviously can’t be five hours long it
needed to excise these historical
passages however keen and dedicated
viewers will notice a mural of the
infamous Bradley gang in the alley
behind the butcher the Bradley gang was
a band of criminals who robbed various
dairy institutions in the early 20th
century before being gunned down by its
citizens Bonnie and Clyde style while it
would have been amazing to see this in
flashback form this mural is also pretty
darn cool number nine
silver to be honest it’s a little
disheartening to see the movie remove so
much of the character from silver as the
bike is a very important part of Bill’s
childhood and the implicit eighth member
of the losers Club in the novel silver
plays a big role in Bill’s development
as it’s the only constant in his
otherwise dreadful and neglected
childhood he even buys it from a pawn
shop when he returns to Derry as an
adult signifying the timeless bond
between man and bicycle but several
times the camera lingers on the name on
the bike as a wink to the novel’s fans
and perhaps as a sign that it may play a
bigger role in a sequel
[Applause]
number eight penny wisest werewolf
clause in the novel Ritchie hates
werewolves since he’s such a big
pop-culture buff he does adore the
schlocky monster movies with terrible
makeup effects even if they do scare him
the original miniseries adheres to these
fears as it appears to Richie as a
schlocky werewolf with terrible makeup
effects the new movie diverges from this
and simply references Ritchie’s fear in
the niebolt house Pennywise his hand
turns into a werewolf claw which he uses
to scratch Ben while this may just be a
generic scary image and weapon to use
against the kids it’s also undoubtedly a
nod to the novel and Ritchie’s deeper
neuroses regarding fictional creatures
beep-beep Richie
number seven ben’s postcard your hair is
winter fire January embers writing an
anonymous haiku to your crush is sweet
you know what isn’t sweet eagle-eyed
viewers will notice that ben’s poem is
indeed written on a postcard of the
standpipe a very important and scary
location in the novel the standpipe used
to have a spiral staircase which led to
the top offering a gorgeous view of the
surrounding landscape however it was
closed after numerous children drowned
in its water reservoir so you know
perfect for a romantic haiku it’s also
the location where the dead children
descend upon stand in the dark a scene
missing from the 2017 version number 6
dairies Paul Bunyan statue okay so let
me get this straight
throughout various scenes of the movie a
hideous Paul Bunyan statue can be seen
towering over the town it serves as a
slightly creepy prop to add character to
the town of Derry but it’s also the
source of another attack that was
eliminated from the movie in the novel
this very statue comes to life and
chases Ricci with its massive axe the
image of a giant statue coming to life
and chasing a person down the street
would look pretty silly in live action
not to mention it would be terribly
expensive to produce
so we suppose its removal is
understandable I wasn’t sad when you
burned down number 5 the dead lights
viewers who haven’t read the book are
probably wondering what was the deal
with those orange lights and Pennywise
his face once Pennywise opens up his
head three small orange lights are seen
by Beverly which sends her into a
comatose trance these are the dead
lights it’s true form and an ancient
unimaginable eldritch power from another
dimension which instantly causes
insanity for those who see it while non
readers can get the idea their
appearance is even more meaningful for
those who know the background history
and power of the dead lights number four
I heart dairy balloon right before
Patrick Hawks deader is murdered a red
balloon floats towards him with I heart
dairy emblazoned on the rubber book
readers should immediately recognize
this as a reference to the murder of
Adrian melon
Adrian melon was a gay character who was
wearing an I heart Derry hat when he was
attacked by the town’s dangerous
homophobes who proceeded to throw him
over a bridge he was then attacked and
killed by Pennywise while surrounded by
thousands of floating balloons
neither the miniseries nor the movie
retained the horrifying Adrian melon
scene but at least the 2017 film
acknowledges its existence number three
lego Maturin like the dead lights match
aaron is an integral and fanciful aspect
of it lore which the movie simply didn’t
have time for but at least it recognized
the importance of the god turtle turtles
are a recurring theme throughout the
2017 movie one is seen swimming in the
quarry and bill finds a Lego turtle in
Georgie’s room these are references to
Maturin an ancient celestial turtle in
Stephen King’s bibliography Maturin is
an interdimensional being who vomited
the known universe into existence and
who serves as one of the guardians of
the Dark Tower he also serves as its
main rival and aids the children in
their battle against it in 1958 the
turtle number two t-shirts
I got a new
a new croquet set major props to the
costume department for this one
throughout the movie various characters
can be seen wearing t-shirts with
numerous references to Stephen King’s
works
Eddie wears a t-shirt with an evil
looking car emblazoned on the front a
clear reference to King’s killer car
tail Christine bill can be seen wearing
a green tracker brothers shirt a
fictional trucking company whose
workshop was located near a beloved
Derry baseball diamond richie can also
be seen wearing a friezes t-shirt an old
department store which was located in
Kings hometown of Bangor Maine number
one 1990 Pennywise doll many viewers can
agree that the 1990 miniseries is a
little dated to say the least
despite this we also think everyone can
agree that Tim Curry’s Pennywise is a
classic villain who scared the hell out
of many 90s kids
therefore it’s nice to see the 2017
movie directly referenced him Curry’s
Pennywise and the impact he’s had on the
it brand throughout the years a doll
that’s dressed exactly like the old
penny wise can be seen when Ricci
stumbles across the myriad clown dolls
in the niebolt house know there’s a doll
that wouldn’t exactly make a great
Christmas present do you agree with our
picks check out these other great clips
