The Fifth Rick
Season 3 episode 5, “The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy,” is one laden with references to the popular Bruce Willis-led sci-fi adventure, The Fifth Element. Rick takes Jerry on a “sympathy adventure” to a resort wherein everyone is immortal while there. There are notable Fifth Element nods aplenty here.
For example, the space cruise ship in the episode is similar to the Fholston Paradise from the film. Additionally, Rick’s gun resembles the weapon utilized by the antagonist in The Fifth Element. Could you imagine if The Fifth Element boast Jerry as a lead as opposed to Bruce Willis?
