Geek References You May Have Missed From The Ready Player One Trailer (Updated)

The brand new trailer for Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One has been released today at San Diego Comic Con and boy is it a blast! It definitely has a sensory overload feel about it. There are so many geek references in the trailer and I've captured a few for you to check out.

Look out for the bike that scrapes across the ground. It boasts an Atari logo and we were informed by Paul Weller on our Facebook page that the bike is in fact Kaneda's bike from Akira.

delorean back to the future ready player one

Back to the Future is featured in the trailer. Check out that Delorean retro fitted from Back to the Future II.

And here's a quick glimpse inside the Delorean complete with time circuits. Check out the dates.

This is Columbus, Ohio - 2045

Competition Pro Joystick ready player one

Check out that glorious Competition Pro Joystick. I had one of those.

Ready for the race, or is it a battle? Someone got the pre-order exclusive F1 car by the look of it.

Who fancies a flying dance?

Feel a lot safer with the Iron Giant on my side. Steven Spielberg says he has a significant part.

Freddy Kruger in the dream? Or nightmare?

It has a Minority Report feel

Heroes are a plenty in this world. Harley Quinn and Deathstroke are not joking around.

Fancy a game of Trackmania anyone?

This guy doesn't look friendly

Be a superhero on a giant mechanical scorpion in 2045. The future seems glorious. Or is it?

The key to Ready Player One?

Update - Thanks to Tom Soliva for posting this one on our Facebook page. Pure imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is played throughout the trailer. Great spot. I totally missed it.

More Updates - The following four photos were posted on our Facebook page by the eagle eyed Mark Tetreault.

If you pause it just right you see that the "this guy doesn't look friendly" guy has Aech on his nametag! I'm wondering if these shots are showing Aech doing the arena combat that's mentioned in the book.

In the shot with all the vehicles, look to the right. You'll see the A-Team van and what appears to be Christine next to it.

I think that's Lara Croft leaning up against Christine.

Is that Mad Max's Interceptor vehicle in the chase scene?

Did we miss any more? Let us know in the comments below. Here's the trailer for you to check out all those references.

It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th...
