Poltergeist II - At one point in the film Craig Nelson (aka the Dad) asks Will Sampson's Medicine Man character if he's escaped from a mental asylum. The way it's played make it obviously a funny little nod to Sampson playing Chief Bromden in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - Christopher Lloyd's character is looking for Roger after smashing up the Trolley Depot bar and one of the drunks tells him "Yea I seen a rabbit. He's right here. say Hello Harvey." At which point if you've seen the 1950's Jimmy Stewart comedy 'Harvey', about a man whose best friend is an invisible rabbit, feel free to bore anyone else who might be in earshot by explaining the joke.

    Poltergeist 1 the poster on the wall is for a Superbowl in the future and the two teams actually did play in that game. Also said that the set was haunted.

    I haven't heard about the poster in Poltergeist, thanks. There is a real life chill about those three films that I almost find them hard to watch. From the actual skeletons in the pool to the deaths of several of the cast members. Also the late, great Julian Beck dying of stomach cancer while playing the evil Reverend haunted me for years. Brrr.
