Line 24:
** 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 then shouts, "Hey, Aqualung!"
Line 47:
** The replicants are created by the Tyrell Corporation. This is a reference to the Tyrell Institute, which created the android robot Mr. R.I.N.G. in the ''[[Kolchak the Night Stalker]]'' episode "Mr. R.I.N.G.".
* ''[[The Blind Side]]'' was released in theaters on the same week as ''New Moon'', the sequel to ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]''. Collins is watching ''Twilight'' on television when Leigh Anne brings Michael to the Tuohy's home for the first time.
* [[Jean
* When Carrie Fisher's character shoots off a bazooka in ''[[The Blues Brothers]]'', the sound effect is (essentially) the same noise that blaster weapons make in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' films.
* ''[[Brick]]'' has plenty of these, ranging from ''[[The Maltese Falcon]]'' to ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]''.
* An outtake in ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]'' features the main character Flik shouting [[Toy Story (franchise)||"to infinity, and beyond!"]]
** That's the same trailer with the "Pizza Planet" truck seen in ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'' that is also in ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]''.
** The credits also featured an outtake of some of the characters acting as extras in ''[[Toy Story 2]]''.
Line 60:
* [[Pixar]]'s ''[[Cars]]'' has a number of Shout Outs.
** The bullying birds from the Pixar short "For the Birds" appear in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment. Making them possibly the only organic lifeforms in that world!
** Lightning McQueen has "Lightyear" tires - not only a pun on Goodyear tires, but a reference to [[Toy Story (franchise)||Buzz Lightyear]]. The movie also features an oil company named DinoCo, which is the name of the gas station where Andy's mother stopped to fuel the car when Woody and Buzz get lost, in ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|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]]''.
Line 112:
* A hallmark of the ''[[Final Destination]]'' series is its habit of giving characters the surnames of famous horror and thriller directors, including Hitchcock, Carpenter, Lewis, Corman, Romero, and Polanski.
* There's a boat in the Sydney harbor in ''[[Finding Nemo]]'' named "iBoat" in homage to [[Pixar]]/Apple CEO Steve Jobs, and a street named Wallaby Way in honor of ''[[Wallace and Gromit]]'s'' West Wallaby Street.
** The dentist's office contains a [[Toy Story (franchise)||Buzz Lightyear]] action figure in the toy chest.
*** Also, the dentist's office is a replica of an office in Emeryville, CA, where Pixar is located.
** The lead shark, Bruce, is probably a Shout Out to the fact that the shark in ''[[Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'' (though lacking a name in the film) was called Bruce on set. Or a Shout Out to the ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' sketch with a half-dozen Aussies, all named "Bruce".
Line 178:
== L ==
* In ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'', Boromir's comment upon cutting his finger on the shards of Narsil: [[Sharpe|'Still sharp']]
* ''[[Lost in Space]]'' had the following line which was a reference to an oft used line by Dr. McCoy in ''[[Star Trek: The
{{quote|Dr. Zachary "Spider" Smith: I'm a doctor, not a space explorer. }}
** Doppler uses a similar line in ''[[Treasure Planet]]''
Line 192:
*** 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 fat clown executed by the Penguin in ''[[Batman Returns]]'' can be seen in stasis inside a Martian ship.
** Also, whenever Lisa Marie's character appears, she's followed by The Bride's theme from ''[[Bride of Frankenstein]]''.
Line 262:
== S ==
* * In ''[[The Santa Clause (film series)|The Santa Clause]] 2'', the evil toy santa, voiced by Tim Allen, says "You are a sad, strange little man" while fighting the real thing. This is a shout-out to the [[Toy Story (franchise)||other famous toy voiced by Tim Allen]].
* The ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]] Trilogy'' are laden with shoutouts from a wide range of [[Horror]] movies.
** The murdered school principal in the first ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]'' is played by [[Henry Winkler]], better known as Fonzie in ''[[Happy Days]]''. As he goes into his office, the Fonz's leather jacket can be seen hanging up on the back of the door.
Line 294:
== T ==
* ''[[Tank Girl (film)|Tank Girl]]''. Tank Girl fires her tank's gun and causes a bucket of water (and the bucket itself) to fall on Kesslee's "head" and kill him. A cartoon has Kesslee saying [[The Wizard of Oz (film)|"I'm melting!"]]
* ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]''. And quite a few also count as a [[Parental Bonus]]. Some of our favorites:
** The "Pizza Planet" truck has showed up in almost every [[Pixar]]-created work.
** While trying to escape Sid's house Woody yells "[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|There's no place like home!]]".
Line 334:
** Three Star Trek shout-outs in ''Dark of the Moon'';
*** {{spoiler|[[Leonard Nimoy|Sentinel Prime]]}} states [[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan|that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.]]
*** Also, counting as [[Foreshadowing]] as well, Wheelie watches on episode of ''[[Star Trek: The
*** Bumblebee when talking to Sam {{spoiler|Just before "leaving" the planet}} uses "I am and always shall be your friend" referencing Star Trek III.
* In ''[[Transformers: The Movie]]'', one scene has Grimlock asking Kup to "tell Grimlock about petro-rabbits!", a clear reference to the classic ''Of Mice And Men''.
Line 359:
Mac: Hey Farva what's that restaurant you like so much with the mozzarella sticks and the goofy shit on the wall?
Farva: Shenanigans? Shenanigans Right? }}
* The animated movie ''[[WALL-E]]'s'' collection contains a [[Toy Story (franchise)||Rex toy]], as well as the head of a baby doll that looks suspiciously like [[The Incredibles|Jack-Jack]].
* A song from the [[Marx Brothers]] ''[[Animal Crackers]]'' accompanies the opening credits of [[Woody Allen]]'s ''[[Whatever Works]]'' (2009).
* In ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'', Judge Doom yells "I'm melting!" as he dissolves into a pool of Dip just like the Wicked Witch in ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]''.
