Line 31:
** The scene of Chuck and Sarah shooting up the "First bank of Evil" in season 4 is similar to when Neo and Trinity rescued Morpheus.
* The whole {{spoiler|Morgan betraying Big Mike arc}} was a shout out to ''[[The Godfather]]''. Right down to the dialogue;

* In "Chuck Versus the Alma Mater," Casey quotes [[Firesign Theatre]]'s "Nick Danger" sketch.
* "Chuck Versus the Third Dimension" has possibly the geekiest one of all - an explosive labeled "IG-88", the serial number of an assassin robot who was only named in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[Expanded Universe]].
Line 47:
* 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.

'''Chuck:''' ...to the Los Angeles Underground, where they survived as soldiers of fortune.
''<beat>''
'''Chuck:''' Like the... A-Team. You never have... have you ever seen the A-Team?
'''Casey:''' I ''was'' the A-Team.
'''Chuck:''' Ah. }}
** The funeral scene in the same episode also seems to reference [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFhD7dnqEbg this scene] from the Cary Grant Audrey Hepburn movie ''[[Charade]]'', where a group of four people agreed to steal gold when part of the OSS in World War II. When one of them died, the others at his funeral each tried to make sure he was dead. One sneezed on him, one held a mirror to his nose, and the other (in the exact same manner as Chuck) stuck a pin in him.
Line 57:
** "Come with me if you want to live," however, comes from ''[[The Terminator]]''. In-show, it's uttered by Linda Hamilton, who [[Actor Allusion|played Sarah Connor]] in that movie.
* "Chuck Versus the Balcony" riffs on a famous scene from ''[[The Court Jester]]'' when trying to track a bottle of wine:
{{quote|
'''Chuck:''' Copy that. Um, um, what, what, it was, it was a peppery Pinot, right? A peppery Pinot with a cork on the stork and a label on the stable?
'''Morgan:''' No, it's a... a stable on the label and a cork on the stork. Dude, it's--no, it's not. What did you just say?
(''after tracking the contents of the bottle to a wine taster'')
'''Chuck:''' Sir! Hi, sir, hi, excuse me. Um. I'm terribly sorry, but I believe there's been a mix-up downstairs, and you've received wrong glass of wine. That's actually the Burgundy from Bordeaux with the coil on the foil and the fork on the cork.
'''[[Gratuitous French|Dégustateur]]:''' ''Quoi?'' That does not make sense! They are both ''regions!'' ''This''... is the peppery Pinot with the stable on the label and the stork on the cork! }}
* "Chuck vs the Gobbler":
Line 74:
* Casey brainwashing Lester into obeying Morgan is reminiscent of [[The Manchurian Candidate]].
* Chuck is reading [[Game of Thrones]] at the start of "Chuck vs. the Family Volkoff"
{{quote|
** 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.
