* The old lady with a submachine gun who works as the "gate guard" into the secret Brooklyn facility and tries to stop an enemy from escaping, is a nod to a similar character in ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}''. Unlike the old lady in the [[Franchise/JamesBond Bond]] film, it doesn't go well for the one here.

* Rogers emerging from the [=SHIELD=] building into the middle of Times Square, where he's inundated by the noise, traffic, blazing neon advertisements and crowds of a new century, is reminiscent of [[Series/AdamAdamantLives Adam Adamant's]] equally-stunning FishOutOfTemporalWater emergence from the hospital into 1966 London.

* Upon gaining the Tesseract/Cosmic Cube at Tønsberg, the RedSkull remarks that Hitler is digging around in the desert for trinkets. [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk Perhaps Schmidt's talking about Hitler seeking the Ark of the Covenant?]] Which in itself is a TruthInTelevision, as the Nazis often tried to seek out occult artifacts in their plans for World Domination, often sending out the Thule Society and the Ahnenerbe for expeditions and experiments involving these occult artifacts. There are also two thematic references to the "he chose poorly" scene from ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'': firstly when Schmidt is clever enough to realize that the Cube hidden in plain sight must be a fake and works out where the real one is hidden, and secondly when Rogers chooses the simplest of the shields.

One doesn\'t, in fact, have to \"listen closely\"; it\'s a line spoken at normal volume.

* The repeated references to "bullies" and how "it doesn't matter where they come from" are clear references to Creator/JackKirby's reason for creating Cap in the first place: [[http://twomorrows.com/kirby/articles/07violaint.html I know a gangster when I see one!]] Changing the jargon from "gangster" to "bully" could actually be considered an ''improvement'' on an already awesome point - bullies, gangsters, Nazis... they're all just thugs who hurt people ForTheEvulz.

* Howard Stark is clearly based on both RealLife and ''TheAviator'' Howard Hughes. First by his given name, then by being a brilliant aircraft engineer and pilot, inferred he is wealthy enough to not care about risking his career, being a renowned ladies' man, last by his [[http://symonsez.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/howard_hughes.jpg physical]] [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1K3nQ0dSQnU/TS305ME_ZTI/AAAAAAAAdXE/RejcekqEx_c/s1600/howard_hughes_580x.jpg appearance]]. This is extremely apt, because ''Tony'' Stark was originally based on Howard Hughes.

* Like [[Film/IronMan another Marvel superhero's movie]], Cap sticks a bomb into a tank and then has a slow motion cut of him moving away as it explodes behind him. Unlike Iron Man, however, Cap is ''on top of the tank'' while he's blowing it up.
* [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5v-F88SCmFQ/TgiEeaOUaWI/AAAAAAAAAOA/uLQYhOEOlOQ/s400/captain_america_poster_510.jpg This poster]]. You know what it's a shout-out to. This also counts as a shout-out to one of Creator/JoeJohnston's earlier works, ''Film/TheRocketeer.''

* At one point during the final battle, a HYDRA guy ends up [[TurbineBlender getting shredded by an airplane propeller]], just like in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''. [[GoryDiscretionShot Unlike the original though]], we actually [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence see what happens]]. It goes a step further; both mooks were shredded by the prop of a German flying wing aircraft.
* Yet another reference to ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'', after grabbing a artifact of the gods, Schmidt gets melted.
* The motorcycle chase through the forest acts as a double ShoutOut to the bike chase from ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' and the speederbike chase from ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. One presumes that's why the bike chase scene features a prominently-placed [[StockScream Wilhelm Scream]].
* This isn't the first time a key part in a person's plot to overthrow Adolf Hitler was named Valkyrie (although the person in question this time had [[TheStarscream an evil motive]], unlike the real life and movie version). This doubles as a reference to the fact that Skull is using power from an Asgardian artifact. And for a bonus reference, the Valkyries' job in Norse mythology was to choose who lived and who died in battle, rather fitting for a plane designed to bomb the entire planet.
