Is this a reference to something?

Hey guys, I was going through Photoshop Phriday on the Somethingawful website when I came across the section called "Superbowl Surprises". It was REALLY funny, except one picture had me scratching my head thinking, where have I seen that before?



I could SWEAR I've seen that "underground" guy from some film or another, but I can't recall where.  Does anyone know off-hand?  Or was is it just some random element pulled from who knows where?  I mean, trying to think of it's a reference to a film or they just maybe cobbled it from a "construction" type picture...

BTW, if you want to see the whole collection, just go to http://i.somethingawful.com/inserts/articlepics/photoshop/02-08-08-superbowl/djssniper.jpg

Have you ever been to Bratislava? 

I haunt the SomethingAwful site frequently and this guy struck me as familiar as well.  I actually thought it was some WWI memorial! 

Turns out, after some digging, it's fairly prosaic....
Statue of manhole entry in Slovakia.

Found it on one of those "of course there had to be website for this!" sites - SewerHistory.Org

Ah you kidding?  I had to Google it (Bratislava) just find out where it was!  (Although I did guess somewhere around Russia, so I wasn't too far off.)

It's a neat fact though, thanks for telling me about it.
