Overcomer - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Coney Bombs Cereal

Seen in the Harrisons' kitchen, this fictional cereal brand is a recurring inside joke featured in every single Kendrick brothers film.

Jay Austin Motors Tag

Found in Ethan Harrison's bedroom, this is a direct reference to the used car dealership run by the main character in the Kendricks' very first feature film, Flywheel.

The Actual Flywheel

Also located in Ethan's room, eagle-eyed viewers can spot the literal flywheel prop from the car that was restored in the 2003 movie Flywheel.

Molly's Bible

Principal Olivia Brooks keeps a specific Bible on her office bookcase. This is the actual, real-life Bible of Molly Bruno, a 91-year-old prayer warrior who was highly involved on the set of the Kendricks' previous film, War Room.

Vote for Pedro Sign

In the high school hallway, there is a homemade sign on the wall reading Vote for Pedro, a fun nod to the 2004 cult classic comedy Napoleon Dynamite.
