doesn't matter you don't have cats in
your world
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
hidden monster hunter video game
references
[Music]
prepare yourself remember they're weak
just before they breathe fire
for this list we'll be looking at the
best video game references within the
latest kaiju blockbuster movie
monster hunter did you hunt any hidden
references we didn't
be sure to let us know in the comments
below
number 10 diablos's horn anyone who's
played the games knows that taking on
diablos is no easy task with its
relentless attacks leaving many hunters
triple carded
so it's absolutely no wonder that
diablos makes quick work of artemis and
her team
early in the film
when the diablos finally corners them
into a cave its attacks cause one of its
horns to fall off
this is a direct reference to the games
where if you're able to knock off one of
its horns it actually becomes weaker
maybe this is one of the key reasons
artemis and the hunter were able to
finish off diablos later in the film
number nine the research commission
throughout the film we see a group of
hunters that artemis encounters and
eventually teams up with to take down
the rathalos
you help us with the battle ahead
perhaps we can help you get home
and if they seem familiar to you that's
because they're based on characters from
the research commission in monster
hunter world would it have killed you to
help instead of just
watching what for
you seem to have it covered
besides the very obvious casting of ron
perlman as the admiral and hirono
yamazaki as the handler we
also see hunters that bear a striking
resemblance to aiden and the serious
handler
[Music]
another small reference to the games is
tony jaws character the hunter who is
based on the field team leader
a gentleman people you selection
yeah i still don't understand you man
number eight cephalus in a moment of
calm
artemis and the hunter find themselves
looking on at a herd of abseros by the
river
something that clearly wouldn't look out
of place in any of the games
when artemis approaches the river
however she is suddenly attacked by a
monster that emerges from the sand in a
real blink and you'll miss it moment
this creature is actually cephalos which
made its debut all the way back in the
original monster hunter for the
playstation 2.
these predatory creatures are known to
attack others many times its size
so it's no wonder it tried to take a
bite out of artemis

[Applause]
[Laughter]
bait you're funny
number seven sky tower throughout the
film we are shown an ominous tower in
the distance multiple times
it's later revealed that this structure
is known as the sky tower and it is the
cause of the portals that brought
artemis and her squad to the new world
the peak of that mountain lies the sky
tower
remnants of an ancient civilization
there's a good chance that the sky
tower is based on the sky corridor an
area featured in monster hunter frontier
g6 that is similar in looks
both structures are said to have been
built by an ancient civilization
with the sky corridor in particular used
to store lost treasure
number six crafting following a long and
very intense fight between the two
artemis is captured by the hunter and
taken back to his camp
in the following scene we see the hunter
carve some moss from the walls of the
cave eating it and then later mixing it
together to create a mixture to heal his
wounds
this is a direct reference to crafting
in the video game series
as players will often need to craft
different materials in order to get
items
such as healing potions
[Music]
number five wrathion
the rathalos certainly makes an impact
toward the end of the film
devastating both the hunters and the
military in an awesome
kaiju-like action sequence
but before our hunters take on the
iconic wyvern
they must make their way to the sky
tower and it's here where we catch this
small easter egg
[Music]
at the entrance to the tower we are
shown a shot of two wyvern head statues
there's a very good chance that this is
a reference to both the rathalos and
baratheon
its female counterpart that is often
paired with it in missions in the video
games
number four dragon ship in the opening
scene of the film we see the hunters
traveling through a deadly storm on a
ship that can sail on sand
this is perhaps a reference to the
dragon ship from monster hunter 3 which
was used to battle the extremely large
monster gen moran
however in this scene they aren't
attacked by the elder dragon instead the
diablos does a number on the ship
causing the hunter to go overboard
something tells us they probably should
have used the dragonator
[Music]
[Applause]
number three bbq spit following the
defeat of diablos our heroes find
themselves in a forest while on their
way to the sky tower
in this scene we see the hunter serve
artemis some very appetizing looking
meat that he cooked on a bbq spit
smells good catsup
this is a direct reference to the iconic
bbq spits from the game series
which players use to cook steaks in
order to recover their stamina
[Music]
and after everything these two went
through to take down the diablos we're
not surprised that this is what they
needed
mmm chocolate number two
meowskiller chef it wouldn't be monster
hunter without any of the iconic palecos
involved and this is certainly no
exception
after meeting the group of hunters
artemis comes across a peculiar paliko
but this is no ordinary palico as this
bulky feline is based on the meowscular
chef from monster hunter world
in the game this palico serves up meals
to give the players unique buffs and
here it's no different as we're treated
to a scene of him
cooking up an incredible meal
we even see him in the mid-credits scene
preparing to take on the gore magala

number one darren moran after being
transported to the new world artemis and
her team find themselves in a barren
desert with the only other signs of life
being the charred remains of the missing
bravo team
what happened to them flamethrowers i
don't think so
with no choice but to leave them behind
and move out the team comes across an
incredibly large set of bones
it has to be a dinosaur right saw a
dinosaur in a museum one time
wasn't that big
these remains actually belong to the
daryn moran an elder dragon that was
introduced in monster hunter 4.
there's a very good chance that these
remains are one in the same as players
encounter this boss monster within the
great desert
