Line 3:
* Lili Von Shtupp
** She is a fairly obvious parody of [[Marlene Dietrich]] in ''Destry Rides Again''.
** Her name is a [[Shout -Out]] to two characters in ''[[The Great Race]]'': Lily Olay (who sings a song in a [[Wild West]] dance hall) and Baron von Stuppe.
** At one point she says [[Cabaret|"Wilkommen. Bienvenue. Welcome.]] Come on in!"
** The first time she appears, the melody of "[[The Producers|Springtime for Hitler]]" is played on an old-timey piano.
* Brooks has outright admitted that he gave the huge-but-dim thug Mongo the name "Mongo" in the first place just so he could have another character shout "Mongo! Santa Maria!", a reference to the legendary jazz percussionist [[wikipedia:Mongo Santamar%C3%ADa|Mongo Santamaria]].
* The "We don't need no stinking badges!" line is a paraphrase of a line from John Huston's ''[[The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Film)|The Treasure of the Sierra Madre]]''.
* Two of Governor LePetomane's staff are named Frankie and Johnny, a reference to the old song "[[wikipedia:Frankie and Johnny chr(28)songchr(29)|Frankie and Johnny]]".
