Line 6:
** What's the matter? Haven't you ever take a shortcut before? (*thump*)
 
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Of course, [[Shaun of the Dead|Shaun]]/[[Spaced|Tim]] as Nicholas Angel and [[Shaun of the Dead|Ed]]/[[Spaced|Mike]] as Danny Butterman.
** Stephen Merchant, co-creator of ''[[The Office]]'' as P.I. Staker.
*** [[Retroactive Recognition]]: (Probably only to people outside the U.K., who wouldn't be as familiar with Stephen Merchant.) Hey [[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Wheatley]], have you always had problems with birds?
** [[James Bond]]/''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Rassilon]]''/[[Flash Gordon (Film)|Prince Barin]] owns a supermarket!
** [[Gangs of New York|Boss Tweed]] / [[Harry Potter (Film)|Horace Slughorn]]/[[Moulin Rouge|Harold Zidler]] is the head of Standford Police!
** The bad guy from ''The Mask of Zorro'' is a doctor. He'll deal with it.
Line 23:
** [[The Wicker Man|Sgt. Howie]] is head of the NWA.
** [[Shameless|Frank Gallagher]] directs Romeo and Juliet.
** [[Coronation Street|Val Barlow]] is Leslie Tiller, [[Doctor Who (TV)|who is also a vampire.]]
** [[Doctor Who (TV)|Mr. Magpie]] is George Merchant, the Fridge Magnate.
** [[Hellbound Hellraiser II|Dr. Channard]] is James Reaper.
** Who knew that Michael [[Retroactive Recognition|would leave town, move to King's Landing]] and take the name [[Game of Thrones|Sandor Clegane]]?
Line 46:
* The blond haired boy stood next to Nicholas Angel in the school picture, the one who Tim Messenger suggests he lets wear his helmet, is called [[Theme Naming|Gabriel]], and actually had a bigger role in the uncut version of the film. This can be seen in the deleted scenes on the DVD.
 
* [[Shout -Out]]: Where do we begin?
** [[Chinatown|Forget it, Nicholas. It's Sandford.]]
** A blink-and-you'll-miss-it [[Shout -Out]] occurs [[Running Gag|repeatedly]] with the two guys running the front desk at the police station. One reads nothing but [[Iain M Banks|Iain M. Banks]] and the other nothing but [[Iain Banks]] novels. This is a subversion of... something... in that while Iain M and Iain are the same man, {{spoiler|the two identical desk sergeants are not.}}
** [[The Shining|"You've always been here."]] In an inn, too. And his later compatriot is named Danny.
** There's a bit {{spoiler|where Nick has been stabbed by Danny, stashed in the boot of his car, then revealed only to be [[Not Quite Dead]]}}, that's a homage to Tarantino's favorite shot: from the boot of the car.
Line 66:
'''Nicholas Angel''': Cornetto. }}
** [[Shaun of the Dead|"You've got red on you."]]
** In addition to the NWA being a [[Shout -Out]] to [[N.W.A.|you-know-what]] (see [[Fun With Acronyms]]), Danny's "Yeaaaahh booooyyyyy!" to the barman before getting drunk with Angel.
** {{spoiler|Mr. Thatcher}} firing a Winchester Model 1887 - sawn off - is a reference to ''Terminator2''.
