* ''[[The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother|The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother]]''.
** The scene where Moriarty tricked his henchman Bruno to his death was a reference to Frank Stockton's short story "The Lady or the Tiger?"
** Moriarty's being forced to do something evil every 24 minutes was a tribute to [[Gilbert and Sullivan]]'s ''[[Ruddigore]]'', which had a man cursed to perform an evil act every day or die.
* In ''[[The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension]]'', the Red Lectroids originally land at Grover's Mill, New Jersey in 1938. Their landing was reported in the Orson Welles radio broadcast of ''[[The War of the Worlds (novel)|The War of the Worlds]]'', but they cover it up by arranging for the broadcast to be labeled as fiction.
* In ''[[Amazon Women on the Moon]]'' when a news reader on a TV news segment is talking about fraternities, a picture of the Delta House from ''[[Animal House]]'' is shown behind her.
* In ''[[Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy]]'', when Ron Burgundy is playing jazz flute, near the end he plays the riff from [[Jethro Tull]]'s "Aqualung" and [[Lampshade Hanging|then shouts, "Hey, Aqualung!"]]
* One of the scenes in ''[[Animal Crackers]]'' includes a spoof of Eugene O'Neill's play ''Strange Interlude'' and its elaborate asides.
* With the mention of ''[[Austin Powers]]'', there's the shout-out that Austin made in ''[[The Spy Who Shagged Me]]'' to the 1960's James Bond knockoff ''[[Our Man Flint|In Like Flint]]''. While he's watching it, Austin even says "It's my favorite movie!"
