10 Minecraft/Among Us Mashup
Saints Row 2022 has a slew of sneaky and cheeky video game references, be it the Saints of Anger arcade game that makes fun of Streets of anger or the great Zohar from the Xenosaga series that can be found in the desert. None beats the hilariously hidden one though Minecraft and Among us mashup found behind a brick wall.
Located in Old Town West, an unpainted brick section of a wall can be breached to reveal three boxy Minecraft-like characters with knives that knock off a fourth lying on the ground with a knife in the back. The image is a clear nod to both Minecraft and Among us, combining family-friendly and horror game visuals with surprisingly funny results. Some even think it’s a nod to Julius Caesarwhich is even funnier.
9 Pennywise’s red balloons
While the airbrushed images of four turtles etched atop a sewer grate are a subtle nod to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesthe appearance of Pennywise’s red balloon in the sewer from the mega-popular horror movie It is a much scarier and more memorable Easter egg in the highly anticipated PS5 game.
Located near Lake Sebastian on the map, the humiliating image of a single blood-red balloon floating in the sewer instills instant terror in players who come across it. The reference to Stephen King’s famous novel and the adapted horror film indicates imminent danger when it appears in both the film and the game.
8 The Singing Bush of the Three Amigos
One of the funniest hidden Easter eggs in the popular open-world 2022 game can be found in Badlands South in Kavanaugh County Territory. Just a few feet away from the aforementioned Ninja Turtles tribute, players will encounter a ridiculous singing bush, flanked by a trio of people adorned in black and red outfits with their arms in the air.
A clear reference to the scene in Three Amigos in which Ned, Dusty and Lucky encounter a singing bush in the desert (voiced by singer Randy Newman), the bush in the game even sings in a drunken high pitch and has a discolored appearance almost identical to the one in the movie.
7 Hannibal Voorhees
Horror movie fans will definitely get a funny kick out of the secret location in Saints Row that thinks Friday the 13th‘s Jason Voorhees and The Silence of the LambsHannibal Lector blow-up dolls sharing a bottle of Chianti. Also found in Badlands South, players can find the Easter egg by running past the “Road Closed” sign near the construction zone.
Aside from Hannibal’s favorite bottle of Tuscan wine, players can watch Jason don his signature hockey mask, while Hannibal wears something that resembles a woman’s face, with both bearing the iconic blood-stained image of Hannibal’s police victim spread out in the prison cell in The Silence of the Lambs.
6 Thor’s Hammer
Comic book fans and gamers would probably want to wield Thor’s all-powerful hammer, The Mjolnir. Saints Row gives players the ability to do just that if they have what it takes to find the cool clandestine Easter egg in Badlands South.
Located atop a rock in a desert pit, Thor’s Mjolnir can be found, obtained, and even used as a weapon in the game under the right circumstances. Perhaps the most amusing aspect of the Mjolnir is its description, which states that “Only a Chris can lift it”, referring to how Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans are the only ones wielding the hammer in the MCU.
5 Mel Brooks Movies
At least two hugely entertaining references to Mel Brooks’ hilarious spoof movies can be found in: Saint’s Row. As players traverse the desert in Badlands North, they will eventually come across a campfire surrounded by several bloated cowboy dolls. After a few taps, the dolls embark on a windswept gas storm reminiscent of the classic fart scene in Brooks’ western parody Burning saddles. It’s so random players can’t help but chuckle.
In the desert in Badlands South, a giant hair comb in plain sight is a nod to Brooks’ beloved sci-fi lampoon Space balls. In the film, Darth Helmet orders his men to scour the desert in search of clues as to Lonestar’s whereabouts, with his men taking his directions way too literally by using a massive hair comb to rake across the desert sands.
4 Paul Walker’s Fast & Furious car
While it won’t spawn in every playthrough, if they’re patient, players can find the tough green 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse piloted by Paul Walker’s character Brian O’Conner in the original. Fast and the Furious movie. The vehicle is located in the Mercado area of the map and is one of Saints RowThe fastest and most exciting thanks to full nitrous burn capabilities and great ejection seat signature power.
Of course, the Easter egg’s sentimental value comes as a stark reminder of the talent and cinematic loss the world suffered from Walker’s untimely passing, giving the find a tender and moving subtext that those who find and use the car never will. to forget.
3 Underground UFO of the thing
For whatever reason, there are a whole host of UFOs to be found in Saints Row. A crashed UFO in a stream can be found in Rojas Desert South, which many gamers claim is a reference to the similar looking spacecraft to Cryptosporidium in the game Destroy all people.
In Rojas Desert North, an even cooler UFO found underground under a wooden hut is an open tribute to John Carpenter’s The thing, in which McReady and his men find a similar underground spacecraft of unknown origin. Of course, since Santo Ileso is in the Southwestern United States, the UFOs are a greater reference to Roswell, New Mexico and Area 51, two of the most infamous locations known for their strange phenomena.
2 Doctor Who’s TARDIS
Easily one of the coolest Easter eggs to find Saints Row, Doctor WhoThe iconic TARDIS time machine can be located in Old Town West. What makes the find so funny, though, is how the name was changed to “TURDIS” with the time machine color resembling a teal Port-a-Potty.
In addition, with the curved but functional antenna on top of the phone booth that uses electrical energy, many have argued that the “TURDIS” is also a reference to Bill and Ted’s infamous time machine and the broken antenna they repaired in the original movie with stuffed chewing gum. . Two references for the price of one, the “TURDIS” is doubly amusing to find in-game.
1 The 2001 monolith: A Space Odyssey
With all due respect to the giant playable Jenga Tower and the non-collectable Zohar, the mysterious monolith from Stanley Kubrick’s landmark 2001: A space odyssey is perhaps the most memorable secret to discover in Saints Row due to the fact that it doubles as an educational riddle.
Located in the desert of Badlands South, players will encounter a gigantic monolithic structure (black at night, silver during the day) surrounded by floating rocks. A written riddle is presented on the back of the structure. When players solve the riddle, clues are given to find the above-mentioned underground UFO from The thing. Aside from the cinematic connective tissue, the themes of human evolution and cosmic mystery suggest: Saints Row is actually much deeper than one might initially think.
