Line #33 ShoutOut/TheLegoMovie2TheSecondPart


1	* Bricksburg's post-apocalyptic look is modeled after ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'':
2	** Additionally, Emmet and Lucy's [[https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Emmet-and-Lucy-s-Escape-Buggy-70829 Escape Buggy]] even appears to be directly modeled after Immortan Joe's second car, the [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/roadwarrior/images/8/84/Car-madmax-31fa.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150527124452 Gigahorse]], minus the second Cadillac cabin.
3	** Lucy giving an ominous monologue reminiscing on how the world was destroyed is a direct reference to Max doing the same in the opening titles of ''Fury Road'', right down to the phrase "in pursuit of a righteous cause."
4	** Batman plays a flame-spewing guitar at one point, not unlike the Doof Warrior.
5	* One of the sets depicts Bricksburg (now ''Apocalypseburg'') with a crashed, half-submerged Statue of Liberty, which is an obvious reference to the [[LateArrivalSpoiler infamous]] [[EarthAllAlong ending]] of ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968''.
6	* When Emmet is on his morning walk through Apocalypseburg, he greets Sherry's cats, the first of whom is named [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} Scarfield]].
7	* General Mayhem does "the robot dance" when delivering a musical wedding invitation to the Apocalypseburgers.
8	* “And '''that’s''' how you [[Music/TheDoors break on through to the other side!]]...of the Stairgate.”
9	* Rex made a [[spoiler:time machine using parts from [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture the [=DeLorean=],]] [[Film/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure Bill and Ted’s phone booth]], [[Franchise/DoctorWho the TARDIS]], [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} Skynet's Time Displacement Equipment]], an Creator/HGWells [[Film/TheTimeMachine1960 contraption]], and [[Film/HotTubTimeMachine a hot tub]]]].
10	* The song "Gotham City Guys" name-drops all the movie Batman actors (Creator/ChristianBale, Creator/MichaelKeaton, Creator/BenAffleck, Creator/ValKilmer, Creator/GeorgeClooney and Creator/AdamWest), and also Selina Kyle (ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}), Vicky Vale, ''and'' Film/{{Beetlejuice}}. '''''And''''' it features Creator/DannyElfman's ''Film/Batman1989'' theme during Batman's rap.
11	* Rex has raptors named [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Ripley]], [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} Connor]], Franchise/{{Rocky}}, Film/{{Cobra}}, and [[Film/TotalRecall1990 Quaid]]. And the raptors mention a "Sharon" ([[Creator/SharonStone this one?]]) One of the raptors is even referred to as [[Film/JurassicPark The Other One, which is an allusion to The Big One.]]
12	* Lucy, during a rant over her [[spoiler:cutesy real hair color]], takes her hairpiece off and compares herself to Creator/BruceWillis. [[spoiler:Who just happens to be in a [[TheCameo nearby hot tub]], and then later turns out to [[Film/DieHard live in the many air vents found in the Systar System]].]]
13	* At the end, Rex says that he is [[spoiler:"[[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Back-to-the-Futuring]]" as the timeline corrects itself and he fades out of existence]].
14	** His last words to Emmett also sound a lot like [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty a certain scientist's hopes for his grandson to turn out better than him.]]
15	* The phrase "War hardens the heart" is repeated several times in a way that sounds a lot like "[[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} War. War never changes.]]"
16	* During the "Everything's Not Awesome" musical number, Benny laments "I think I finally get Music/{{Radiohead}}," at which point Batman suggests "Bro, you should check out Music/ElliottSmith."
17	* The appearance of three Wonder Women (targeting three different age groups) might be a reference to the ComicBook/WonderGirl Impossible Tales comics where three differently aged Wonder Women appeared side by side (Wonder Woman, the original Wonder Girl, and Wonder Tot).
18	* The intermission scene where Unikitty [[BlackComedyCannibalism eats the live chocolate bar]] is similar to what [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zz_-YHj4Fw Homer did]] in an old short to promote ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie''.
19	* Harmony Town's overall design (being a StepfordSuburbia populated by brainwashed citizens obsessed with making others conform to their ideas) is evocative of Camazotz from ''Literature/AWrinkleInTime.''
20	* Emmet has a recurring fear that Rex is a [[Film/FightClub projection of what he subconsciously needs.]]
21	* Unikitty is able to turn into a bigger feral form (Ultrakatty) who can also be used as a mount, much like [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse Battlecat.]]
22	* The Raptor-piloted {{Space Fighter}}s that Rex launches from his spaceship are referred to as [[IncrediblyLamePun Rex]]-[[Film/ANewHope Wing Fighters.]]
23	* Emmet traveling through space towards "Stairgate" (the basement's door) reminds of ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'''s iconic intro sequence with the door floating in space. Additionally, his travel through the door is shot exactly like [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey Dave Bowman flying through the starfield]]. And the [[{{Pun}} name]] of the "Stairgate" is also a [[Film/{{Stargate}} pretty obvious reference.]]
24	* Some aerial views of the ruins of Bricksburg, and then of Mayhem's ship scanning it, are like scenes from ''WesternAnimation/WallE''.
25	* Ultrakatty trying to charge at Mayhem, only to get blasted (with a sticker) and turned back into Unikitty, is just like the moment [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jafar turned Rajah the tiger into a kitten]].
26	* After Mayhem's ship makes a "majestic landing", she boasts, "''Nailed it,''" sounding just like [[Film/TronLegacy Quorra]] boasting, "''Made it.''"
27	* Rex using a bus to hold back the dancing hordes in Harmony Town looks like a spoof of ''Film/WorldWarZ''.
28	* The Justice League's intro scene here mirrors the opening of their [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague DC Animated Universe series]], and they're using the same "Javelin" ship.
29	* The hearts that say “Hello!” in a cutesy voice and then explode are reminiscent of [[WebAnimation/{{asdfmovie}} Mine Turtle]].
30	* The grunts, growls, and barks of all the raptors are straight from ''Franchise/JurassicPark''.
31	* This line from Rex after [[spoiler:the wedding ceremony has been crashed and he reveals to Emmet that he's his future self]]: "[[spoiler:You don't have friends! [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 They're just pieces of plastic!]] You still wanna go back to the [[Film/TheMatrix Matrix]] when you know the truth?]]" He even mentions the film itself when Emmet asks what he's talking about.
32	* [[spoiler: Rex]] time traveled to prehistoric times, the specific year? [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger 65,000,000 BC]].
33	* Emmet passes by a bunch of Apocalypseburgers fighting over which actor is the best ''Franchise/JamesBond''[[note]]Bond's name isn't mentioned, but it's inferred by the names they're saying that they are talking about the character[[/note]].
34	* One of the Raptors says "[[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} I hate Mondays]]" as Emmet is shown around the Rexcelsior.
