| So far Higashi no Eden has referenced a ton of movies even though only three episodes are out. I assume the references will continue throughout the series so I thought it'd be good to make a thread to note these references as we find them. Episode 1 The Bourne Identity Taxi Driver Eagle Eye Episode 2 The Lion King Ground Zero Kate & Leopold Episode 3 Dawn of the Dead Scarface Le Grand Bleu Nuovo Cinema Paradiso Episode 4 Le Grand Bleu Quadrophenia Episode 5 Possible reference to Catherine Tramell in Basic Instincts Episode 6 ??? Episode 7 ??? Episode 8 ??? Episode 9 ??? Episode 10 ??? Episode 11 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid |

| Ep 2 references The Lion King Ground Zero A Meg Ryan movie with a bridge in it And that last scene is also definitely referencing something. |
| Peace through Superior Firepower! formosan said: Are you using some kind of advanced logic I don't know about? Have you decided to assign new meanings to English words? Are you just intentionally burning a straw man and knowing full well that you're changing the subject and misrepresenting a claim? |
| The Meg Ryan movie with a bidge in it could possibly be Kate & Leopold? According to a review on amazon... "The initial scene takes place at a ceremony in which Washington Roeblings, the engineer who built the Brooklyn Bridge and son of the man who designed it, is dedicating the completion of the second tower of the bridge." |
| Episode 3: Nuovo Cinema Paradiso |
| Every time you make a typo, somebody in Zeta gets slapped. |
| In episode 2 the Meg Ryan movie is "Kate and Leopold". Ryan played Kate, Hugh Jackman played Leopold. It's a romance comedy. |
 |
| I like how they've referenced alot of classic movies like that. It's pretty cool to see them have Taxi Driver references and mention Romero's Dawn of the Dead |
| So, any references in episode four? |
| Quadrophenia |
| Sorry for grammar mistakes(if any), english is not my native language. Feel free to correct me if you see some. |
| I didn't notice any references in episode five. Anyone else? |

| I don't know but sometimes some parts are from movie Eagle Eye? |

| I wonder if they'll get sued, like Hayate no Gotoku! sensoring all the character names J.C staff or whichever company didn't own that was mentioned. I just wish it won't because somehow the movie references can be accounted as a bit of a charm to Eden of the East to me. |

Takizawa says in Episode 1 when he thinks he's been setup to look like a terrorist that it reminds him of a movie, and that is the catalyst for Eagle Eye so it's relevant. |

| when Kondou points his finger and says "bang" (also in the ED), that happens in the movie Crank by actor Jason Stathom. he points his finger like a gun, says bang, and the people get shot. not sure if crank got it from some other movie, or if it originates from there. VVV tehnominator said: That has happened in a million media, notably in the anime Cowboy Bebop and it was referenced in GANTZ as well. As for live action movies, it could be a dozen. i thought ive seen it before, but i couldnt think of where i did, so i wasnt sure =/ |
