Set in 1995. What 90s references should they have included?


We got Blockbuster, pagers, chunky computers, dialup and windows jokes, grunge, a few 90s tracks, Street Fighter II in the bar.

What else was needed?

I thought more curved cars were needed (they used the 80s boxy shaped cars, despite cars being curved by 95).

I would have liked the song Gangsta's Paradise used for downtown los angeles (seems to fit). Maybe a few shots of LA homeboys to match. Maybe 2pac song. That to me is the 90s, more so than grungy music. Grungy was Seattle, this is set in LA.

Also, there is a mistake, she uses Altavista Search Engine but it wasn't released until December 15, 1995. I doubt this movie was set at the end of the year and even if it were, it wasn't the search engine of choice upon release.

A small complaint.

Maybe a discman thrown in or something too.

I got a great 90's reference. Like how Carol Danvers was so unpopular in the 90's. That they made Rouge of the x-men put her in a coma for years.
