 Crank has a number of references to 80s arcade games. In the  opening credits there are flashes of arcade boot up sequences and  the high score table of Robotron: 2084 (1982) is briefly displayed.  Veronas sidekick is seen playing Berzerk (1980) in the car. The  humanoid graphic of Berzerk is also displayed on the male toilet  door Chev enters.
