Later, it is revealed that Emerald, OJ and their alien-chasing amateur film crew (Brandon Perea as Fry’s Electronics tech Angel and Michael Wincott as grizzled cinematographer Antlers Holst) aren’t the only ones who have figured out that a UFO has been stalking the gulch where the Haywood ranch abuts Jupiter’s Claim. Jean Jacket and the Star Lasso Experience Moments before cops arrive to shoot the animal to death, Gordy extends his bloody hand in maybe-friendship toward the terrified boy (one might call it, ahem, a “ monkey’s paw”) in what appears to be their signature fist bump. The world still harbors a ghoulish interest in the infamous “Gordy” tragedy, and Ricky has learned to cope by selling access to morbid memorabilia to deep-pocketed fans and glorying in how Chris Kattan spoofed his childhood trauma on a popular “Saturday Night Live” sketch - the apex of pop culture relevance.īut later, in an extended flashback, we see more of his memory of that fateful day: At the end of his bloody rampage, Gordy turns to the young Ricky, who is hiding underneath a table. He recounts the tabloid version of the tragedy with eerie detachment one day when OJ and Emerald visit to sell him yet another horse to keep their failing ranch afloat.
Ricky, his entertainment career long behind him, now runs Jupiter’s Claim, an Old West-themed attraction named after the character he played in his one and only hit film, “Kid Sheriff,” which he now milks desperately in hopes of returning to the spotlight.

While Nope finds inspiration from beloved alien invasion narratives, Peele adds his own unique twist to the horror sub-genre. Similarly, Us borrowed from several doppelgänger and home invasion narratives to create his own unique vision of horror. While Get Out has a similar premise to the classic alien horror movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, there is nothing extraterrestrial in the plot. Although comparisons to Jordan Peele’s other films are inevitable, the major difference Nope has from Get Out and Us is the sub-genre of horror it belongs to.
