Nobody - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

John Wick connections

Beyond being written by Derek Kolstad, the film contains several nods to the 'John Wick' franchise. Hutch discards an ammo magazine in the same manner as John Wick. Additionally, the song 'The Impossible Dream' is used in both 'Nobody' and the trailer for 'John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.'

Touch of Evil Poster

In Hutch's basement, a poster for Orson Welles' film 'Touch of Evil' can be seen. This is a nod to a classic film noir that deals with moral ambiguity and a protagonist with a dark side, reflecting Hutch's own character arc.

Better Call Saul Photo

In a brief scene where Hutch's old government file is shown, the photo used for his character is reportedly a picture of Bob Odenkirk as Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman from 'Better Call Saul,' a fun nod for fans of the show.

Goodfellas Homage

Director Ilya Naishuller included an homage to Martin Scorsese's 'Goodfellas' in the film, though the specific scene is a subtle visual reference for keen-eyed cinephiles to spot.
