* ''[[The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes
** 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!"

** Both ''Batman Begins'' and ''The Dark Knight'' contain shout-outs to ''[[The Long Halloween]]'' like he rooftop scene where Dent, Gordon, and Batman meet to discuss the mob problem, especially Batman's [[Stealth Hi Bye]].
* A subtle but enormous example -- [[Peter Sellers]] was a huge fan of Laurel and Hardy, and the voice he used for Chance the gardener in ''[[Being There]]'' is an Americanized version of Stan Laurel's; Laurel's work partially informed Sellers's physical approach to the role as well, since it was exactly what the [[The Fool|character]] required (the other part? A gardener who worked for Sellers in [[The Fifties]]).
* ''[[Black Sheep
** Some of the footage of maddened sheep herds charging over hilltops on the horizon look suspiciously similar to ''[[The Lord of the Rings (
** Which is probably because they used the same computer programme while creating it.
** By the way, this could also be meant to be a shout out to the wild gnu-herd in ''[[
** In addition, the name of the [[Animal Wrongs Group]] in the film is a very similar sounding WEKA.

** That's the same trailer with the "Pizza Planet" truck seen in ''[[Monsters,
** The credits also featured an outtake of some of the characters acting as extras in ''[[Toy Story 2]]''.
*** Actually it's an outtake from ''[[Toy Story 2]]'', and the Bug's Life characters are alluding to Bug's Life 2 (which doesn't exist yet).
* In ''[[But I'm a Cheerleader]]'' two people in an institution for curing the supposedly psychologically ill (in this case, gays) which is doing more harm than good have sex when they weren't supposed to, an uptight woman who runs the place discovers them, and they get in big trouble.

** Lightning McQueen has "Lightyear" tires - not only a pun on Goodyear tires, but a reference to [[Toy Story (
** The name Lightning McQueen's name is a Shout Out to awesome actor and racing aficionado, the late [[Steve McQueen]].
* Speaking of [[Steve McQueen]], ''[[Film/Cannonball|Cannonball]]'''s showdown is a car chase between the hero in a green Ford Mustang Fastback and the baddie in a black Dodge Charger {{spoiler|which crashes and [[Every Car Is a Pinto|immediately explodes]] in the end}}, spiced up with some nice jump scenes. We've seen almost the exactly same thing before in ''[[Bullitt]]''.
** Also, the movie shouts out to a couple of elements from real-life Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dashes. Not as many as ''[[The Cannonball Run]]'' which was made by actual Cannonballers, but still.

** When Chucky and Tiffany attack Officer Warren (played by [[John Ritter]]) with the nail trap, Chucky takes a look at Warren's face, now covered by nails, and states "Why does that look so familiar?" making a reference to the infamous monster Pinhead from the ''[[
** When one of the protagonists ask how the dolls got to being dolls, Chucky responds with "If this were a movie, it would take 3 to 4 sequels to do the whole thing justice." and thus parodying the entire ''Child's Play'' series.
** At the end of the film when Chucky is trapped and killed in his own grave, the way he dies is similar to how he was killed at the end of the first ''Child's Play'' film.

** At one point a radio message is sent to the team to warn them that they're about to encounter an enemy patrol boat. The message is almost a word-for-word copy of a similar radio message in ''[[The Guns of Navarone]]'', and the battle that follows is clearly inspired by that movie as well.

* In ''[[Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back]]'', Federal Wildlife Marshal Willenholly is a reference to the characters Marshall, Will and Holly on the 1970's children's TV show ''[[Land of the Lost (TV series)|Land of the Lost]]'' -- a shout out reinforced by the subsequent appearance of the Sleestak Diner sitting in the shadow of [[Kirk's Rock]].
** In what might be some kind of odd backwards Shout Out, Will Ferrell -- who played Marshal Willenholly -- will be appearing in the upcoming [[The Movie|full length movie]] of ''Land of the Lost''.

* In the [[Peter Jackson]] version of ''[[King Kong]]'' (2005), Carl Denham criticizes RKO Pictures, as they are supposed to be rival companies. The 1933 version, which almost everyone knows, was shot and produced by RKO. Also in the 2005 version, Carl is surprised Fay Wray isn't available for shooting. She played Anne in the 1933 version.
** They also make fun of some dialogue from the original, having Jack Driscoll being quite sexist towards Anne, with actually making this exact scene a part of Denham's movie. It's quite nice how they ''did'' acknowledge the older work while (by giving them to a narcissistic jerk) pointing out that these lines are hopelessly out-of-date today.
* Near the end of ''[[Kung Fu Hustle]]'', one particular moment in the fight between the hero and the Axe Gang is a visual homage to the Burly Brawl in ''[[The Matrix

*** The Martian saucers, the saucers' beam weapon and their attacks on human civilization (particularly the attack on Washington) are an homage to the alien saucers in ''[[Earth vs. the Flying Saucers]]''.
*** The Martian saucer crashing into a river near the end is a reference to the end of ''[[This Island Earth]]'', where a saucer crashes into the ocean.
*** During the Martian attack a saucer shoots a bell tower, a scene taken from the Martian attack on Los Angeles in the 1953 film version of ''[[The War of the Worlds (novel)|The War of the Worlds]]''.

** The first of these is spoken by [[George Clooney]] to [[Al Pacino]], when he says "What I want- what's most important to me..." (this being the exact phrase Pacino himself used when speaking to Sollozzo in the restaurant).
** The second shout out was when Reuben, the bedridden casino executive, uses the same lines spoken by Vito Corleone just before Vito learned of his son's death from Tom Hagen ("I hear cars coming and going..."). They were both very subtle; probably meant as inside jokes by the actors, who didn't expect anybody to actually catch them.

** Marion curled up in a ball in the bathtub and shrieking is taken straight out of ''Perfect Blue''. Aronofsky even secured the rights to a live-action version of the film just to justify including this scene in this movie.
** During the scene when Tyrone and Harry are in the crowd, trying to get the drug shipment from Florida, one of the dealers is shown peeling an orange. This is a reference to ''The Godfather'' and the use of oranges as foreshadowing to something bad about to happen. They don't get their drugs, and the next sequence is Winter.
** Averted by the recurring image of Marion standing at the end of a small pier, which is extremely similar to the recurring image in ''[[Dark City]]'' that also features [[Jennifer Connelly]]. Word Of God says that this was unintentional.

* [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]'s ''[[The 6th Day]]'' has a probable shoutout to ''Replicant'' (as well as referencing Freud): The holo-psychiatrist's first sanity-test question in the event that a person thinks they've been cloned is the first question in the Replicant test, but with two turtles.
* In the miserable ''[[A Sound of Thunder]]'', Charles Hatton tells the travelers after the first successful time traveling expedition, "Gentlemen, and lady: today, you stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Columbus discovering America, Armstrong stepping on the moon, Brubaker landing on Mars."
