That just cut your list in half lol.

I do believe that this game has some roots from "wheels of terror/misfit brigade"

I love that movie, Groonz, and custard.

Action heroes sets - The Expendables

I thought the Burly Bruce's set was based on John McClane from the Die Hard movies

Savage Sly does look a lot like Sylvester Stallone now that you mention it.

[BoneSaw88]

There is the Royal Blue facepaint, from the movie Bravehart. Forget the exact name of the facepaint though...

[Solid Snail]

The facepaint is called highlanders something, so yeah, from Braveheart

[Crazeeman]

The National stylish knife was form Sherlock Holmes i believe

Leg It/Gunner - Band of Brothers
Crystal Lake Party Mask - Friday the 13th

I personally find it hilarious that this game uses ideas from movies designed for females like Twilight, but there are no female characters. IMHO, this is ridiculous. Also, I know the VC and Black Ops stuff is from COD, but this is ridiculous as well since this is a BF title which is produced by EA not Activision.

Also, would the new Speedy Driver's jacket be from Herbie the Love Bug or one of the Herbie titles? It looks strikingly familiar.

[Falkhorn]

imo, the GOS Dark Ops looks more like Sam Fisher(Splinter Cell) than COD: BO

[glamb]

Teutonic Tourist set -> Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (proof)

Now that you mention it, that is possible. I'll check into that.

Hmm. Couldn't say, I've never played that before.

Even though COD:BO is not an EA produced game, who says EA can't reference it? EA didn't produce Twilight or Twilight New Moon. EA didn't have anything to do with Michael Jackson. EA didn't produce Herbie the Love Bug or any of the Herbie titles. See what I'm getting at here?

Battlefield Heroes has clothes that reference things culture that people can relate to. It's not like these references are being directly copied then sold to point where the game is advertised as, "HEY YOU CAN BE MICHAEL JACKSON/COBRA IN BATTLEFIELD HEROES AND SHOOT PEOPLE."

No, they're simple references for simple fun. They aren't targeted toward the fans of these references either. They're simply for those, "Oh I remember what inspired that outfit" kinda moments. In fact, these references are what inspired the creation and discussion of this topic.

Also, Twilight wasn't designed for a female audience. It just so happens that Twilight has attracted an audience of mainly females... I mean all guys that have a drop of logic know that vampires don't sparkle in the sunlight. Pfffft!!

Santa Clause Outfit - Santa Claus

[~Bryan]

Lol can't believe everyone missed an obvious one.


Adventurer's Fedora-Indiana Jones, that has to be a reference to him considering Indiana is American and the royals being based on American/British qualities.

Also, no offense but I think someone has done a thread similar to this one before.
