Line 16:
** In "Chuck Versus the DeLorean," a character uses the alias Guido Merkins, a QB in the NFL.
* The second season has two shout-outs to [[Grosse Pointe Blank]]- Chuck makes a reference to Sarah fighting rebellion in Paraguay with a fork which sounds very similar to Martin's claim to have killed a president of Paraguay with this eating utensil. The next episode has Sarah being forced to go to her high school reunion as part of an assignment, which fits the plot of that film.
** That selfsame episode, "Chuck Versus the Cougars," also contains a shout out to ''[[Risky Business]]'' with the side-plot at the Buy More mirroring that film fairly closely.
* The second season opener has a shout out to ''[[Batman Begins]]'', the messenger who attacks Casey uses the same weapon that Jonathon Crane uses to dispense his fear toxin.
* In "Chuck Versus the Best Friend" when Jeff is trying to convince Lester to sing he directly quotes "Lose Yourself" by Eminem from the movie 8 Mile. "Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted, one moment would you capture it, or just let it slip?"
* Other episodes have featured characters named Lo Pan and Jack Burton from [[Big Trouble in Little China]].
** Point of fact, the character Ben Lo Pan is actually played by James Hong, who played David Lo Pan in Big Trouble in Little China.
* The Christmas 2008 episode contains a shout-out to ''[[Die Hard]]'' when Reginald VelJohnson guest stars as Sgt. Al Powell of the Burbank Police Department. There's also a shoutout to ''[[Groundhog Day]]'' with the hostage holder, "Ned Ryerson" (spelled differently on the show than in the movie).
* Several shout-outs to ''[[Casablanca]]'': "We'll always have Omaha." It's Ellie's favorite movie, as well.
** "Chuck Versus the Undercover Lover" contains a bunch for ''[[Casablanca]]''. Cynical lone wolf Casey reopens an old wound when he unexpectedly encounters his old flame ''Ilsa'' and finds that she's about to marry ''Victor'', the movie plays in the background at the [[Buy More]] when Ilsa comes to meet Casey, and at the end, after Ilsa leaves on a plane, Chuck says, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." (see [[Whole-Plot Reference]] below).
* Chuck keeps {{spoiler|the documents given to him by Orion}} hidden in an issue of ''[[Ex Machina]]''.
Line 36:
* Apparently, [[Lost|Oceanic Flight 815]] was ''shot'' down.
** Well, if you followed the last season...
* When Sarah tells Chuck that she wants to make love to him to improve their cover, he swallows his coffee and remarks "[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|Hot coffee!]]"
* Issues of ''[[Knights of the Dinner Table]]'' are seen in Chuck's room. (The writer wrote in to the magazine itself once to point this fact out.)
* Chuck's room has a poster for the imaginary "Yakuza Prep," originally found in the bedroom of Seth on ''[[The OC|The O.C.]]'' (Also created by Josh Schwartz)
* In "Chuck Versus First Class", the vial of antidote is labeled "cordrazine", a fictional drug mentioned in both ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' and ''[[Mission: Impossible (TV series)||Mission Impossible]]''.
* Eagle-eyed viewers may recognize the museum in "Chuck Versus the Mask" as the [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Power Rangers']] Command Center.
* ''[[Y: The Last Man]]'' is featured throughout the show multiple times. Chuck has a Y poster in his bedroom, Devon is shown reading the first issue while waiting for Chuck to wake up, Chuck is reading it at the bar to lure Manoosh. He refers to it as, "The greatest literary contribution of our time."—clearly one of the writers is a fan.
Line 45:
* [[Dolph Lundgren]] stating [[Rocky IV|"I must break you." and "If you die, you die."]]
* One of Chuck's job interviews in "Chuck Versus the Anniversary" is at [[Seinfeld|Vandalay Industries]].
* In "Chuck Versus the Couch Lock", when one of the villains is going through the mailboxes in Chuck's appartment complex, it is revealed that Casey's neighbor is named ''[[24|Bauer]]''. When 24 was still running the shows were indeed "neighbors," since both aired on Monday night.
** [[The A-Team]] in the same episode.
{{quote|'''Casey:''' I had them court-martialed. Of course they promptly escaped the maximum security stockade...
Line 65:
* "Chuck vs the Gobbler":
** Sarah dying her hair from blonde to black after "going rogue" mirrors a similar change from ''[[Salt]]''.
** Sarah, with black hair, wearing a form-fitting catsuit, and [[Actor Allusion|reprising a previous role]]: "I love a good [[Mass Effect 2|Suicide Mission]]."
** Chuck wears a ''[[De Blob]]'' t-shirt.
* In Chuck Versus Tom Sawyer we have [[Queen|Farrokh Bulsara]].
Line 72:
* Emmett Millbarge screaming "NO TOUCHING!" at hoardes of customers. He's played by Tony Hale, most famous for his role on ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', where "No touching!" and variations thereof was one its many running gags.
* The agent who gave Sarah a 49-B evaluation in season 2 is named [[Fatal Attraction (film)|Alex Forrest]].nB
* Casey brainwashing Lester into obeying Morgan is reminiscent of [[The Manchurian Candidate (novel)|The Manchurian Candidate]].
* Chuck is reading [[Game of Thrones]] at the start of "Chuck vs. the Family Volkoff"
{{quote|''Eddard, you can't give your kids dire wolves as pets. That's a terrible idea!''}}
** Of course, Chuck seems to have the book open to the middle, whereas that event takes place right at the very beginning...
* When Chuck and Morgan have fought off most of Snieder's henchmen, one grabs a pair of swords and starts twirling them around. Morgan [[Raiders of the Lost Ark|shoots him]] with the tranq gun, and Chuck makes the reference.
* Morgan helps fashion a prison escape by posing as a guard and reporting a "[[A New Hope|prisoner transfer from]] [[THX 1138|CB 11, Section 3-8]]."
