Line 13:
** [[House (TV series)|Allison Cameron]] as Lt. James!
** [[The Terminator|Kyle Reese]] as Michael McNeil and [[Star Wars|Darth]] ''[[Precision F-Strike|Fucking]]'' [[Star Wars|Vader]] as General Solomon
* [[Shout-Out]]: The "funpark" levels in ''Tiberian Dawn'' where the player faces off against Dinosaurs, a la ''[[Jurassic Park]]''. Meanwhile, in a nod (pun intended) to Them, Red Alert features a hidden campaign against Giant Ants.

** ''Renegade'' continued this shout out, wherein its standard-issue weapon for both sides basically ''is'' the original pulse rifle.
* [[Technology Marches On]]: The original game plays around with this with the weapons presented in game - then-new weapons like the M4 rifle and F-22 Raptor had been effectively abandoned by the US military in-series, allowing Nod to get their hands on them.
