Wtf lol so many references. I've never read the book before but this looks ridiculous

the book itself is pretty much one giant pop culture reference for the 80's/90's.

Seems like I will have to hunt down the book.

Mine was first :)

I must have missed most of the references. I caught The Iron Giant, the BttF DeLorean, and maybe a Ghost in the Shell/Matrix one.

When he walks into the "bar", he passes Deathstroke and Harley Quinn.
When the camera moves upward at the flying dancers, Gandalf is swirling around on the right side.
At the shooting scene you see Freddy Krueger on the right side, who is being shot and killed (and turned into coins that draws to the guy who killed him). Duke Nukem is further back, between the shooter and Krueger.
That giant scorpio is dominating those birds from Joust.
The Iron Giant is unmissable.
When they rushes to the cars, you can see the A-Team van on the right part of the screen and the Mad Max car on the left side in 2-3 scenes.
That motorcycke is most likely the one from Akira, which got an Atari logo on the wheel when it slides below that low thing.
The red flashing light from Kitt might be seen on the left side when that bike speeds by, but it is hard to see and might be something else.
The Delorean is seen near the end with the steelballs smashing around.
All those cars jumping that gap might or might not be a reference to those old 1K Trackmania videos.

Did we have any giant scorpios in the 80s-90s? Is it a reference to Command and Conquers Nod?

Oh, and that face closeup at the shooting scene?
He holds a Halo rifle.

It looks like Christine is parked next to the A-Team van.

Most of those things are on screen for about a second, so they're really easy to miss in that trailer. I don't know how you're making out Harley Quinn and Deathstroke (whoever he is), since they're so dark they're practically silhouettes.

You only need silhouttes to see who they are.
And Deadpool started as a clear ripoff from Deathstroke before they turned him into a fourthwallbreaking machine.
