Similarities between Bumblebee and ET

Post by fantomdranzerx »

Has anyone noticed how Bumblebee and Sam are somewhat similar to ET and Elliot, mostly in the whole kid-with-alien-friend situation? Not only that, but some of the things that happen in the movie (Bumblebee calling the Autobots, getting captured by government agents, etc.) are almost similar. And there's also that thing that the filmakers said about trying to make Sam and Bumblebee's relationship similar to Elliot and E.T's.

So, what do you guys think?

Thankfully ET never used his powers to get Elliot laid...

Hmmm, isn't there a bit in ET with the little fellah hiding in the bed room that's basically an indoors version of the garden sequence in the TF Movie? I've not seen it in years.

In terms of Spielberg references I'm surprised they didn't slip a Duel injoke into the Movie...
