Film watched: Escape 2000 aka Escape From the Bronx

Bloom County: "Steve Dallas, terrorist."
- Actually, it's a reference to Sweet Smell of Success.
Continuity Nod: "I'm Cherokee Jack!"
- "I'd better get over to the Zombie Nightmare set."
Cousin Oliver: Parodied when Dr. Forrester tries bringing in "Timmy Bobby Rusty".
Department of Redundancy Department:

Mike: He died as he died: dead.

Fan Nickname: The Toblerone
God Mode Sue: After a character takes out a whole army of Mooks. "He must be in God Mode with unlimited ammo!"
The Mary Tyler Moore Show: "They captured Rhoda Morgenstern!"
Only Known By Their Nickname:

Blonde Gang Member: Dablone!

Crow: [as said blonde] I want to be called The Blonde!

Overused Running LEAVE THE BRONX Gag
Running Gag: Referring to the female lead as either a vampire or rat woman.
- Jay the Photographer's comment "If they see us, we've had it" becomes a minor one.
Shaggy Dog Story: One of the last riffs has Trash deciding he'll leave the Bronx anyway, which of course means the movie had no point.
Smoky Gentlemen's Club: Invoked in the "Men's Night" host segment.
Tempting Fate:

Crow: [while trying to burn an ant] "Oh, like there's gonna be some kind of divine retribution?"

The Toblerone: As they dub Dablone. The film comes alive during his brief appearances, and sags without him.
Toilet Humour:

[Two Mooks get fried by an electrical mine]

Mike: [as Mook #2] Oh what did you step in!

What Happened to The Mouse?: Although it doesn't get mentioned explicitly, ~~Toblerone~~ Dablone and his henchmen just sort of disappear towards the end of the MST3K version of the film and Hoffman pulls a Karma Houdini escape in a flashy sports car. This is because the Brains had to cut most of the final battle scenes for time. In the full version ~~Toblerone~~ Dablone and pals all get gunned down by the Disinfestors later on and Junior blows up Hoffman's car with a grenade.
Village People: In the Navy!
