they talk about the shining in the vampire twins arc at least once, and i have a feeling there were other references to it

Added DiffLines:

** The Vampire Twins arc has a few TheShining references, one of which was exclusively manga, in which gretel sings a song from the shining (in the anime she has a song written for her).

** Revy uses an APS Assault Rifle during the Neo-Nazi arc. This is a gun designed to shoot ''underwater'', and was given to her as a gift from Balalaika. Needless to say, they're pretty hard to get ahold of, as it's strictly special issue by the Russian government. Its use is justified though, what with her and Rock going diving.

It isn't that sup rising that Balalaika can get her hands on one when you know she has the clout to get diplomatic immunity despite being a gang leader.
