Line 114:
* [[Shout Out]]: When Carnegie puts Eli up for the night, the poster on the wall is for ''[[A Boy and His Dog]]'', another post-apocalyptic movie set in a desert.
** {{spoiler|The two cannibals}} are named [[Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf|George and Martha.]]
* [[Shown Their Work]]: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_<!-- 28disease29%28disease%29 The cannibals' hands shake uncontrollably.]] -->
** There's also a frequent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echolocation clicking noise] heard throughout the movie.
* [[Something Else Also Rises]]: Just as someone is about to rape Solara, something else goes right through his pants. No, [[Right Through His Pants|not like that]]. [[Groin Attack|More like this.]]
Line 129:
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Before the apocalypse, Eli was a simple clerk at a local Kmart.
** Then again, Eli might've just been a [[Retired Badass]]. Solara on the other hand, certainly goes through this.
* [[Truth in Television]]: The [[Nightmare Fuel|symptoms]] that the [[Cannibal Clan|cannibals]] showed. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_<!-- 28disease29%28disease%29 Kuru]], a prion disease caused by cannibalism, is characterized by truncal ataxia, headaches, joint pains, and, most importantly, ''shaking of the limbs''. Until the 1950's when cannibalism was outlawed in New Guinnea, [[CannibalTribeCannibal Tribe|members of the South Fore]] often contracted it by eating their dead. (It had an incidence that was 8 times higher in women than in men because the men would get the [[Main.ImAHumanitarianI'm a Humanitarian|better cuts]] and women were left with the brains and spinal cords). -->
** For a more memorable analogue, a similar disease is also known as Bovine spongiform encephalopathy or more commonly "Mad Cow Disease", which can be caused by feeding cows beef.
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: Or thirty years.
