Following/YMMV


 * Hilarious in Hindsight: Twelve years later Christopher Nolan would make a movie staring a thief also (sur)named Cobb. Considering Nolan got the idea for Inception early in his career (but took years getting to a point where he was well-known enough to get the funding necessary to pull it off) this probably isn't a coincidence.
 * Also, the Batman Shout Out.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Cobb.
