[edit] Motorcycle / God-beam / Railroad scene
This scene is not from Matrix: Revolutions, which hadn't even been released yet (it came out in theatres three days later), nor is it likely taken from Akira (though it might be). It's really a cliche, in which someone is chasing someone else but the target gets away by crossing a railroad track right before a train blocks the chaser. The writers probably weren't thinking of any particular movie scene. CGameProgrammer 21:41, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know. After rewatching the scene there are a lot more similarities between Akira and itself than I previously noted: the scenery, the camera angles, the regrowth of Homer's right arm (whereas in Akira the opposite happens to Tetsuo's right arm). If this isn't a homage to Akira, then the coincidences are striking.
[edit] Plagiarismo
I'm surprised that no one's noted the striking similarities between Reaper Madness and Family Guy's pilot. Pretty ironic, I'd say. Etafly 08:28, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
