This article contains mild spoilers for "The Running Man."
Throughout his career, director Edgar Wright has taken it upon himself to load up his films with gags of every sort. Be they jokes, stunts, physical comedy or sight gags, a Wright film has an abundance of them. Though they're not typically thought of as gags per se, Easter eggs and references also fall under this category, and as such, every film Wright has made so far is practically overflowing with them. Being the knowledgeable and responsible filmmaker he is, Wright typically themes these Easter eggs to each film. Hence, "Shaun of the Dead" is rife with references to zombie movies and media, "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" has a lot of video game Easter eggs hidden everywhere, and so on.
