An easy Akira reference
The Akira motorcycle slide shot has been referenced by so many anime, video games, films, and other media. The Sonic the Hedgehog live-action movies are filled with pop culture references that often date the movies to the moment they premiered. Sonic flossing in the 2020 movie was a moment that broke my brain realizing how these movies swing for low-hanging fruit. However, Shadow does the Akira motorcycle slide in the trailer, and I’ll give them that that’s a much more timeless reference than the ones they usually jump on.
