Line 11:
** When Akane briefly mentions possibly learning how to use a sword from Shampoo, Nabiki's shudder at the thought of her with a sword in her hands may be a subtle reference to ''[[The Bitter End]]''.
** During their off-Earth "vacation", Ranma and Kasumi take Nabiki to a world which looks a lot like [[Star Wars|Coruscant]], although Nabiki compares it to a sunnier, cleaner version of ''[[Blade Runner]]''. And while considering what she's seen so far, she thinks of "the things, the people, and the things that are also people" -- which is almost certainly another deliberate reference on her part to ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]''.
** There are a few [[In-Universe]] references to ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'':
*** During the Halleckton affair there is a brief moment of levity when the Canadian soldier accompanying Nabiki (in her "Azumi" persona) waves off a minor injury with "'Tis but a scratch." "Azumi" blinks and replies, "A scratch? Your arm's off!", to his amusement. The exchange is the start of their bonding as friends, and much later, when they meet again at an inquiry into Halleckton, Azumi greets him as "Sir Black Knight'.
*** Ami is stunned to meet a "demon"/alien who resembles a humanoid crow, but a moment later thinks to herself, "But beautiful plumage" to her private amusement.
** There is a brief [[The Cameo|cameo]] by several denizens of the [[Discworld]] in the wake of the time machine's destruction.
** [[2001: A Space Odyssey|"Oh my god, it's full of star"]] (sic) as a suggested reaction to one of the after-effects of the time machine's destruction.
