Line 36:
** Kind of a weird one, but in ''[[The Dark Knight Saga]]'', the Bat-Cycle emerges from the Batmobile.... "Batmobile lost a wheel". And then after that, "Joker got away."
*** During that scene [[What Could Have Been|he should have said]] ''[[Batman (film)|"Come on you gruesome son of a bitch. Come to me."]]''
*** [[Gary Oldman]]'s whole look in both [[Christopher Nolan]] films is a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Frank Miller]]'s ''[[The Dark Knight Returns (Comic Book)|The Dark Knight Returns]]''.
** 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]]).
Line 117:
* ''[[Flash Gordon (film)|Flash Gordon]]'' (1980): Klytus' line "You have until the sands...run up". In the ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' (1939), the Wicked Witch of the West turns over an hourglass and tells Dorothy "That's how much longer you've got to be alive".
* In ''Four Christmases'', Vince Vaughn's character says something along the lines of, "I'd rather be shipwrecked on a deserted island being hunted down by a crazy millionaire than visit my parents for Christmas." This line is a reference to a short story entitled "[[The Most Dangerous Game]]," and Vaughn is describing the plot with his line.
* [[John Travolta (Creator)]], in ''[[From Paris with Love]]'' mentions that one thing he has is going to kill him: a "Royale With Cheese". He has a discussion about finding a Royale With Cheese at a [[McDonald's]] in ''[[Pulp Fiction]]''.
* In ''[[Friends with Benefits]]'', [[Mila Kunis|Jamie's]] mother changes the nationality of Jamie's [[Disappeared Dad|father]] [[Running Gag|throughout the movie.]] At one point the mother mentions a lover, who reminded her of her daughter's father, having a "Cold War" accent. Mila Kunis was born in the former Soviet Union.
 
Line 271:
** In the backstory of ''[[Total Recall]]'', Quaid/Hauser stayed at a hotel on Mars under the name "Brubaker".
* When Peter Parker is trying to figure out a phrase to [[How Do I Shot Web?|shoot a web]] in ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]'' he tries "[[Superman|Up, Up, and Away]]" and "[[Shazam]]"!
* [[George Lucas]]' ''[[Star Wars]]'' films contain a reference to his first movie, ''[[THX 1138 (Film)|THX 1138]]'', when Luke Skywalker explains away their presence on the Death Star by claiming it's "a prisoner transfer from cellblock 1138". Interestingly enough, when [[Mark Hamill]] improvised that line, [[George Lucas]] actually told him not to do it in another take, as the original script just had a random combination of numbers.
** Not the first time this happened. One of the protagonists in ''[[American Graffiti]]'' has a car with the license plate '''THX-1138'''.
*** The character was Bob Falfa, played by... [[Harrison Ford]].
