10. Scrooged’s Nod to “Cross Old Man”
Trending
In Scrooged (1988), Bill Murray's character, Frank Cross, contains a subtle reference to Ebenezer Scrooge's famous "cross old man" description. The Easter egg is perfectly fun and connects Scrooged to its literary source, A Christmas Carol.
Frank's gruff, curmudgeonly demeanor reflects Scrooge's transformation, and this line is both a self-referential joke and an affectionate nod to the timeless story of Charles Dickens. Those who are fans of Murray as well as the classic tale can appreciate how this little Easter egg enriches the movie's story.
