Zombies in Spaceland Movie Easter Eggs & References! (Infinite Warfare Zombies)

Infinite Warfare's Zombies in Spaceland has a ton of movie easter eggs and references hidden in the map. Most of them are from 80's horror movies but some are just clever nods to 80's pop culture. This video will show you every single movie reference, easter egg, pop culture nod, and even some obscure media homages hidden in the map. I hope you enjoy this zombies breakdown because I worked very hard on it!

this video probably took so long to edit. I salute

[@NinjaGeek]

This video was fascinating to watch. Just the sheer amount of effort put into this map to include a ton of 80's culture is amazing. Great job Drift0r, all these easter eggs and references must have taken so long to find and combine into one video

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Wow, great job. I was born in 71, so I lived through and remember 99% of what you pulled together. I have great memories of arcades lit up primarily by the game screens and occasional neon signs. That's where you went to play the latest and greatest... people would line their quarters up at the bottom of the game screen to signify the order of who went next, and somehow we all knew which quarter was ours. :) I'm glad to see arcades with classic games popping up again... long live the 80s!

[@SteveSpikes]

PDXguitarfreak, I was born in '70. I'm right there with you. :)

[@PDXguitarfreak]

SteveSpikes Right on bro. What's funny is when I take my 12 and 9 year old sons to the arcade, they are much more interested in pinball LOL.

[@TheBlackItalianGamer]

I can't believe I'm playing more zombies than multiplayer lol I gotta keep props to the zombie team because this is the first time I'm enjoying zombies. I've almost play multiplayer and never like zombies that much but this zombies in space is top notch

[@all-timealien4483]

TheBlackItalianGamer same bro I barely played zombies in the past few cods but now I'm playing it a whole lot

[@bold_beast7229]

TheBlackItalianGamer same I'm loving zombies right now

[@brandonvilla2420]

TheBlackItalianGamer same zombies is so fun

[@zayuh1896]

Killer Klowns is still one of my favorite 80's movies 😂 I remember constantly watching the VHS as a kid

[@Knight1nRustyArmor]

A lot of attention and detail went into the Zombies experience this year. Too bad the multiplayer isn't entirely innovative, unfortunately.

[@dilapidatedboat8291]

American Amadeus zombies is incredibly popular. A lot of my friends, who were never really Cod guys/zombie guys bought infinite Warfare and they absolutely love it. In fact, a lot of people at my school live zombies

[@slobbymunk481]

Same. I didn't like cod till bo3 came out. Zombies mode is awesome.

[@IanOrGoregy]

Man. You really don't want to do IW in depth do you? No hate, just think its funny.

[@zubaerlatif4304]

Goregy he's waiting for the hard stats to come out.

[@IanOrGoregy]

That makes sense. Nevermind then.

[@andreizedlav7303]

The stats for things haven't come out so he'd have to do hand testing which has resulted in not entirely accurate statistics before.

[@colek.4253]

When did he say that? Not saying I don't believe you, I do, but what video?

[@ericnuval]

Goregy zombies in spaceland > multiplayer

[@samsazil]

9:02 the guy at the bottom holding a smoking gun is a 007 reference

[@samsazil]

Dr0ve hmm idk.

[@arosch_213]

Also, there is a card called "Black hole fun" which is most likely a reference to the song "Black hole sun" by Soundgarden

[@Bestgameplayer10]

Ronald Reagan? The actor?! Ha! Who's vice president, Jerry Lewis?!

[@DLBBALL]

I salute you Drift0r for this video.

[@codyschaffer7788]

the amount of references in this zombie map is crazy. thanks for taking the time to give it a video showing all this stuff

[@MintyS8th]

Driftor I respect your editing a whole lot more.

[@r3v4n21]

I never ever thought that I see a David Hasselhoff clip from german public TV in a Drift0r video.

[@colek.4253]

Major props for having the Regan speech at the end. Major props to you.

[@thomasland6186]

Drifter I thoroughly appreciate the effort in this video keep up the great work!

[@1234legend1234]

13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo used to creep me out. Also Demons is one of the best horrors of the 80s

[@BACzero]

Ahh, the 80s. Yes, I remember it well. Glad you did this vid, Drift0r. It was fun... kinda like a little walk down memory lane. thanks, man.

[@TalentedSB]

as an 80s baby myself I really enjoy this map and the nostalgic feel it's gives me. great video dude.

[@akikoivunoksa635]

Yet another fantastic video Drift0r! You pointed out some references I failed to recognize, and I'm a huge 80s horror movie fan. I greatly appreciate the work and effort you put into making this video, thanks :)

[@coltonargyle9614]

nice work drift0r. can tell this took alot of work.

[@jacobvestergaard9097]

This video was seriously amazing. Good job drift0r!

[@mdaveyphoto]

Been waiting for somebody to do this. This map is soooo awesome in so many ways. Great video my friend!!

[@Chad-WTF]

Awesome video...gotta get the kids educated on the 80s

[@tsubasaplayer16]

i always knew since this game came out that the trail blazers trail was a Back to the Future Reference.

[@XzLPlAY3RzX]

I feel like the Easter egg with the UFO and the part with color sequences is similar to Close Encounters Of The Third Kind...anyone else?

[@XzLPlAY3RzX]

Although I know it wasn't an 80s movie I don't think.

[@colek.4253]

Or independence day because of the noises?

[@alexhowfly]

I absolutely love playing Zombies in Spaceland. I was kinda disappointed that they got rid of Extinction Mode this year and went with Zombies, but man I love it!

[@101295cono]

fantastic video driftor, probably my favourite one ive seen from your channel. A topic a didnt expect to see and an ending which was very educational, thanks.

[@alarik1238]

Driftor, this was a really cool video!

[@Xeo7]

As a child of the 80's as well, I've also been loving the hell out of this Zombies mode/map. Also a fellow horror nut, too, so I too got most of the references. I love it and greatly look forward to what the future DLC maps will be like. Considering buying the season pass almost for those maps alone, hah!

[@jaykawb]

N31L reminds me of Pauly's birthday robot present from Rocky 4

[@limjunekiat]

Gawd, this is good, Drift0r! Great great job! Loved this so much!

[@raviolijunior]

Thank you for playing President Reagan's speech at the end. I remember that morning when the Challenger exploded. I guess that makes me old. The President's speech is inspiring & evokes old emotions about a tragedy that we don't think of often anymore.

[@quickshot4050]

Make America Great Again!

[@silica732]

awesome video, but gotta say that I miss extinction. best part of ghosts for me

[@jokerL12000]

They did a great job with zombies playing it more than multiplayer and you deserve a lot of views in this video very good editing Driftor :D

[@zago789]

Cool video Drift0r, definitely going to watch some 80's movies now. You got me interested, thanks a lot!

[@larrycasella1104]

The awesome thing about those arcade games is that they also reference the old Atari 2600 games like pitfall. Since those games have the Activision name on the old cartridges.

[@ChromeSixFenix]

Thanks for making this Drift0r. Great video. Long time fan. Keep it up.

[@janioltrejo]

this video was amazing and well done

[@droidaimone]

Drift0r thx for this video. I had never watched They Live so I watched it tonight and it was fantastic. Growing up during the 80's was an interesting time and glad I got to experience it. Im also glad I was there to play in actual arcades and later the birth of commercial FPS games with Wolfenstein. Maybe you can make a nerds guide to great movies from the 70s,80s and 90s for the younger folks. Actually even the older movies like Forbidden planet needs to there so maybe not limited to those decades but just a nerds guide to movies with your touch. Maybe see some Overwatch soon with Sombra n all the buffs n nerfs that went thru recently would be sweet. Thx again.

[@Nick-fj7jf]

Drift0r. Nice work.

[@all-timealien4483]

Love they added trailblazers back to the future is one of my favorite movies of all time and that's cool to see

[@tsubasaplayer16]

that's one of my favorite movie trilogies as a kid :D and im almost turning 17

[@twistedfireball]

I think you missed that he is actually playing knight rider. From the different quotes when you call him in (I think it's the nerd that says "I can't believe it's the actual Michael Knight"). Also the Knight Rider theme plays when he's coming down.

[@GabrielRodriguez-xn9xp]

The theater itself reminds me of Kino...

[@SteveSpikes]

This game, ZOMBIES IN SPACELAND; most of all, needs to be resold as a solo game, if you ask me. As a child of the 80s, I would buy it for nostalgic sake in a heartbeat.

[@leonatis1084]

I really enjoyed the video and Subscribed, Keep up the good work.

[@jessesaysthebword5513]

Wow this was actually really well done and I enjoyed my self the entire way threw, I find it a bit sad that this isn't really common knowledge and some who will never care but really you did a fantastic job on this video.

[@simonwest9450]

Not an 80s reference but the space shuttle trap is named Daedalus. It's named after the space shuttle from Space Cowboys (2000)

[@SirEvilestDeath]

I am 10% sure that the perk Trail Blazers is a refrence to the custom zombies perk Banana Colada. Maybe the effect is similar to Back to the Futures fire trail but it has no other resemblance to anything about that movie. It is Infinity Ward ripping off the community when Treyarch refused to. Best the Treyarch zombies fans got was that stupid sliding gumball that throws explosives in front of them.

[@joaquimpereira4995]

10%? Also I'm happy they did the perk.

[@arno-creations]

It is most definitely a reference to BTTF. Yes it is very similar to Banana Colada, but im very sure iw was referencing BTTF

[@andreizedlav7303]

That was the point: the fire trails, not the effect.

[@tmike1389]

Drift0r, bet that the bat person caricature is a nod to 1989 Tim Burton's Batman. Sure looks like the one Bob Kane drew in the movie.

[@PurpleFreezerPage]

I'm really really curious to see how much of Spaceland is gonna be changed into the dlc maps. I pray to god, despite this seeming like a huge workload on infinity ward, that the next maps also have totally new and unique stuff about them. If spaceland was the only map with the ticket system, I'd be happy. Unless there's nothing equally cool to replace it in the next maps.

[@chrisvarzaly]

great video. I own "They Live" on dvd and watch it frequently.

[@nathanmack5344]

The robot at 4:55 reminds me more of Screech Power's robot, Kevin, from Saved by the Bell.

[@deucehigh2h25]

Wasn't going to watch this but glad I did nice video Driftor

[@OMGitsPanther]

Wow great video Brad!

[@pepsicop4612]

I loved how you put Scooby doo in the video my childhood

[@therealryan4147]

I loved Short Circuit, i have watched it at least 10 times.

[@MirageUchiha]

"Child of the 80s"? Huh, I swear You're born in the 90s tho?

[@23tonylawrence]

I loved Regan and in Regan's speech is an easter egg about Uncharted 1 Drake's Fortune :)

[@Bikkockungus]

Killer Klownz was one of my favorite childhood movies.

[@Bikkockungus]

Also, Drift0r, how come you didn't mention Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" plan.

[@wheelerchristian94]

Another 80s reference i noticed was the front of the movie theater that looked like the theater in rocky horror picture show. or it could be shown by michael jacksons Thriller. Just a thought. a wonderful video and my mom who grew up in the 80s enjoyed it quite well

[@johnnyzero8853]

Makes me wanna play this map again.

[@memphus]

The devs are really pushing to win back their old fanbase with 80s nostalgia here :)

[@baseformrolf6710]

Hey guys, driftor here, and today we have alot of easter eggs today, its insane

[@morganfreemonn4764]

First time I'm hearing bout this comparison cool that someone can explain a little more of infinite warfare zombies "history" if thats what you wanna call it

[@therealryan4147]

There is a Zoltar also in the Adventure Dome in Las Vegas

[@SavageHeliosOne]

good job driftor

[@chungsteroppa]

I swear I keep hearing ever so slightly audible mouse clicks throughout the video XD

[@bambi2245]

That blue guy in the caricatures is the head zombies producer lee ross

[@madi8249]

Maybe my fav video on KZbin

[@brozy3217]

Could the Zombies In Spaceland map possibly have something to do with the Call of The Dead map from past cods? I mean maybe not, but both maps have a director trying to make a action movie about 4 protagonists trying to survive hoards of zombies. That's why I was thinking there might be a possible connection between the two maps.

[@mojofo12]

Is there an easter egg of Paul Reubens jacking it in the theater in the opening cutscene?

[@captainbeefheart6744]

Probably not many people watching this video would get this lol.

[@mojofo12]

lool no kidding

[@captainbeefheart6744]

I don't know how old you are but I'm 20 but I've watched many classic/"old" films so I've seen them in movies like when someone is walking down the street ect. lol.

[@Stephen_Dumeyer]

dang it really does sound like vincent price im watchin edward scissorhands in one of my classes it was his last movie before he died

[@xTheLonelyWolfx]

Awesome video!

[@lukegreen341]

Really good

[@kyobokira5802]

Zombies in referenceland

[@roheennoor8281]

Also when you do all the challenges Neil goes to the moon and brings hoff back

[@SpectieOwO]

Quick question to any movie actor fans, is the guy from the portal/stargate clip the same actor as Reddington from Blacklist? I seriously can't shake the feeling...

[@xlightlessx2069]

For Trail Blazers i didnt exactly get the Back to The Future feeling but its a clear reference though

[@Brockyman]

Good video. Also nice to see a president act presidential. Haven't seem that in over 2 decades

[@yayangaro9528]

Old will always be gold

[@roheennoor8281]

when i saw the Scooby doo 80s tv show I died of nostalgia

[@whiteboygaming-xt3ng]

I feel u real horror 80s lover

[@derekjdeboer]

The one character has a 88 tshirt on in the cutscene. Combining that with trailblazers is one thing... but why have the ticket system give out odd numbers of tickets (single tickets) when nothing you can purchase has a random numbered cost? Realism? I don't think so. Has anyone had exactly 88 tickets (88mph) and trailblazers as the Marty McFly character?

[@EmilyChuu]

Wow that Reagan speech was... deep.

[@Teddyano_]

N31L’s 2nd form is suppose to be KITT from knight rider

[@escobedo134]

I thought the clowns were a reference to Zombie land which kind of sounds like zombies in space land in a scene towards the end a zombie clown appears

[@ChromeSixFenix]

Nightmare Summer poster is a reference to Endless Summer.

[@TheMarkNTimShow]

N3iL looks like Screech's robot, Kevin, from Saved By the Bell

[@danielmaxfield4368]

You can also play as the hoff. I don't know how to do it but I saw that dude Noah j play as him.

[@gabrielphillipe3552]

Nice vid!

[@justusbrayan3772]

Paging Mr. Herman, Mr. PeeWee Herman

[@justusbrayan3772]

Family Guy fans

[@Beaucopz]

Justus Brayan is that from one of the star wars episodes?

[@PLANDerLinde99]

Short Circuit? Looks like freakin' WALL-E

[@pjbj2125]

WHAT!?!? What about the movies in the "AfterLife-Arcade"?

[@youtubeuser6762]

It's cool watching this when U were born in the 2000's...

[@SeaGLGaming]

Ronald Reagan was the GOAT! Greatest President in US history. I wish we had a President today that loved America in the way he did. RIP. :(

[@Screaming-Bees]

CRAZYPHEONIX117 trumps similar to Reagan so I mean

[@SeaGLGaming]

george stevens The difference is that Reagan had experience in politics. They both loved America, yes, but Trump doesn't come close to Reagan at all.

[@dguy8804395]

loved America so much he tore apart the middle class and helped jump the trend of mass incarceration :)

[@SeaGLGaming]

dguy8804395 Someone's a liberal lol.

[@Jx-kj9fs]

CRAZYPHEONIX117 i mean I'm not a liberal by any means but Reagan did basically divide the middle class and started the drug war

[@Cluefan]

I love Killer Klowns from Outer Space😂😂

[@WW-fn7rt]

They Live was a badass movie.

[@primexample8912]

drift0r where's infinity warfare in depth?..

[@vj187dafl]

No one cares.

[@primexample8912]

Bizzy Gamer I care

[@primexample8912]

Musty Chicken I know it's infinite my phone has auto correct.

[@timbo659]

N31L seems to me more like the robot from the Jetsons

[@McPeAddict]

Killer Klowns From Outer Space is Not That Scary
