So it's likely they took it as an inspiration (or maybe some of these posters were present in other movies, too?).Terramax said:Possibly, but Kindergarten Cop was made in 1990, and Silent Hill was released a good 7-8 years later. Surely posters in America would have been different by the time Silent Hill began production.mdqp said:Is it just me, or the locations are actually really, REALLY different, and only a few small details seem to be similar? I mean, is it possible that these posters and small details were relatively common in USA (I am from Italy, so I can't judge them from my personal experience)?
I think Konami did take these images from KC. The Silent Hill series has always taken inspiration from American pop culture.
Did you know Eddie from SH2 was originally modalled after Eddie Murphy? Sounds strange, but at the start of development, Eddie was supposed to be a comical wisecracker just like EM.
Anyway, Eddie Murphy in Silent Hill 2? Now THAT blew my mind away!
