Sonic In the Movies

Okay, I'll try this again:

In Jingle All the Way, Sonic is in the parade scene at the end of the movie.

Seriously, I thought this was common knowledge.

 

Scrap Brain Zone's music (MD) is inspired by the end music from the movie "Blade Runner"

Fuck yes Laputa.

 

That is actually really interesting!

 

Another commonly known one (though not technically a movie) is that Super Sonic was inspired by Super Sayan in Dragon Ball Z: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ron152gA4II

 

There were DBZ movies though, anyway.

I guess I'll continue to mention Sonic cameos in movies. It's certainly common knowledge that Wayne's World featured footage of Sonic 1 from a prerelease version.

 

Wow, that's pretty unexpected. Nice observation!

As for the rest of the topic... yeah, Sonic seems to draw inspiration (read: rip off =P) a lot of popular franchises, both in America and Japan. I guess that's one of the reasons he became as popular as he is. =P

 

Waynes World featured Sonic 1 Beta footage, I hear.

Whoa, got a video of that? Youtube doesn't seem to have anything.

 

Sadly, no. It's just a couple shots featuring a guy in a Sonic costume fairly prominently.

 

It's not a movie, but I'm not bumping the music similarities thread.

Wow, that's another nice catch! They're even in the same key for the most part. I've got to say, though, I think this is more of a coincidence—such a style of upbeat music and chord progression was pretty common in the 80s. It's no doubt Spring Yard is in the same style, though; makes sense that is, even, given the zone cliche involved.

 

Intro to GHZ, maybe, while we're at it?

In the Disney live action film "Hocus Pocus", right after the witches leave the "devil"s house and they stand outside, a kid walks past in a Sonic the Hedgehog Halloween Costume.

 

That is just coincidence, I know pleanty of songs that do that fade in effect.

 

While I can't give pictures either, I can second the Jingle All The Way scene. If memory serves me correctly, it happens near the start of the parade scene. Looks a bit like the 3D Blast Sonic, I think.

I had a friend that swore he could hear bits of Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train in Metropolis Zone. I never could.

I also swear you can catch a glimpse of Sonic at some point in the opening scene (Armmedggdon) on Gate to the Mind's Eye, though I've never been able to confirm it. You can watch it on You Tube, but it was hard enough to see on the tape (which I don't have).

He does appear at 2:37 right here though that's actually not what I remember.

 

In regards to music from sonic that is similar to songs, I always noticed that Green Forest (sa2) sounded a lot like the song Americana by The Offspring.
The guitars and vocals fit the tune of the song very closely.

I noticed this years ago but haven't really had a place to share.

*edit: Yeah I know, wtf is a new member bumping an old topic for? Thought it was relevant, and yeah, never seen it anywhere else.

 

I can't god damn hear it.

 

That's crazy! The similarity is definitely there, I also heard it in the guitar riff just before the spot you mentioned.
