What critics compared The Man with Two Brains to
Otras, como The Goonies (1985), C.H.U.D (1984) y The Man With Two Brains (1983), son referencias ricas para comprender de dónde salió la extraña inspiración de Jordan Peele.
An opening sequence depicting an 80s-vintage home entertainment console adorned with VHS tapes of C.H.U.D., The Goonies, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and The Man With Two Brains (in which Steve Martin is telepathically linked with a separate brain), serve to twitchily wink at the film’s notion of a bifurcated underworld/overworld structure.
Film fans may notice the VHS tapes framing the television, including C.H.U.D. , The Man with Two Brains , The Right Stuff , A Nightmare on Elm Street , and one of three Corey Haim references in the picture, The Goonies .
Clues are scattered throughout that ask us to look for some deep, hidden meaning – starting with the row of 1980s VHS tapes visible at the start of the film's prologue, from The Goonies to The Man With Two Brains .
The television set is framed by VHS tapes of '80s genre movies like C.H.U.D., The Goonies , and The Man With Two Brains , and the artifacts serve to make her reflective silent stare even more arresting.
On the shelf next to the TV are VHS tapes of C.H.U.D., The Goonies, and, perhaps most prophetically, The Man with Two Brains.
It is kind of like a dark comic cross between “12 Years a Slave” and “The Man With Two Brains.”
