Cultural refrences[]
- On the ship, Morrigan refers to Raptor as a "Moldy McJagger."
- When Demitri first contacts Lord Raptor, there is a poster behind him that reads "World Tour 1964." This is the same year The Beatles took their first world tour.
- During Lord Raptor's fight against Hsien-Ko, he references many famous or popular songs including:
- "I've Got You Babe" by Sonny and Cher
- "Don't Do Me Like That" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
- "I Heard it Through the Grape Vine" by Marvine Gaye
- "Nowhere to Run" by Martha and Vandellas, Raptor continues with the full lyric "Nowhere to run to, baby."
- "Get Over It" by the Eagles
- "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen
- "In a New York Minute" by Ronnie McDowell
- "Walk Away Renée" by The Left Banke
- "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks
- "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John
- When confronted about losing to Hsien-Ko, Raptor states "She broke my Stratocaster." This is a reference to a Fender Stratocaster, an electric guitar first manufactured in 1954 and is still being made today.
Goofs[]
- The scene where Hsien-Ko describes losing her family does not match the same scenes seen during her fight against Demitri.
