* One of the mysteries taking place at a mansion has NoCelebritiesWereHarmed versions of famous detectives.
* Jodie Starling is most likely named after Jodie Foster and the character she played in ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'', FBI agent Clarice Starling. She also sports glasses that appear to be directly from the movie.
* The biggest ShoutOut of all is Shinichi and his environs; judging by names one can safely say he has been living in London rather than Tokyo. ("Beika" Street, "Haido" Park, restaurants "Café Poirot" and "Columbo", etc...)
* Just about all of the characters have ThemeNaming from various famous detectives; some of the victims and suspects also have had names reminiscent of UsefulNotes/TheShinsengumi or JidaiGeki big names.
** {{Invoked}} In-universe with Ai Haibara. According to the Professor in the original translations in the mid-TheNineties, the 'ai' is from american private detectie [=V.I.=] Warshawski - the 'vi' is flipped upside down. 'Haibara' uses the kanji for "Gray", which is from British private detective Cordelia Gray [[note]](the novel, subsequent series and tv show "An Unsuitable job for a woman")[[/note]]; her English dub name is 'Vi Graythorn' in order to keep the inspirations accurate. However, according to a 2014 interview with Aoyama-sensei, the 'AI' is a mirror image of 'IA' - the initials of [[Franchise/SherlockHolmes Irene Adler]]. VIZ media stuck to same-intial names in the early translations, so her english manga name Anita Hailey comes from Anna Katherine Green - the first american mystery writer - and a homonym of the word 'Hero'. Her code name, 'Sherry' is because sherry is the favourite liquor of Shunsako Kudo, hero of the japanese tv series Tantei Monogatari.
* Movie 5 has Ran actually copy a trick from Film/DieHard, hoping it works like in the movie.
** [[spoiler: The runaway train/train wreck in the climax has shades of Film/SilverStreak, albeit with an 1890s British steam locomotive.]]
* Hattori Heiji may well be related to UsefulNotes/HattoriHanzo, especially considering how good he is at Kendo.
* In volume 17, Kogoro exclaims 'Hellooo Nurses!' most likely referencing Vaudeville or Animaniacs.
* In ''The Twenty Year Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony Serial Murder Case'' (episode 174/volume 23), Ran could be seen emulating a famous scene in ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'' and shouting "I'm the king of the world!".
** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Kogoro and Conan, who were watching her and expressing concerns that her actions are TemptingFate and the cruise ship might end up sinking. [[spoiler: (it didn't sink; murders took place instead)]]
* Episode 471 is a WholePlotReference to {{Film/Speed}}; a MadBomber seeking revenge on Kogoro rigged his rental car to explode if it goes below 20 kph. Unlike in the film though, the passengers weren't killed for leaving the car and the vehicle itself doesn't explode thanks to the bomb squad aboard a car carrier continually running the wheels.
* The beginning of episode 608 has a commercial for a fictional chocolate-brand filmed in the style of Series/TwentyFour, complete with Picture-in-Picture, a digital clock and beeping sounds.
* An entire story in the 63rd tankoubon is a shout-out to ''Manga/InitialD''. Why so? First, the case happened in Gunma in a place named Mt. ''Fuyu''na[[note]]Takumi's home course is named Mt. ''Aki''na; that place is based on a real-world place named Mt. ''Haru''na.[[/note]]. Second, the 'legend' is named Fuyuna's Silver Ghost[[note]]Bunta/Takumi in the [=AE86=] is known as Akina's White Ghost[[/note]].
* In episode two, the dub changes the kidnapped girl's name from Akiko Tani to [[Series/FullHouse Michelle Tanner.]]
* Akai Shuuichi and Okiya Subaru's names are references to Char Aznable from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', which Gosho Aoyama is a fan of. Masumi Sera and Tooru Amuro also have their names taken from there. [[spoiler:These names are hints towards Okiya's actual identity, how Sera is Akai's sister, and that Amuro is TheRival to Akai.]]
** And then there's how [[spoiler: Akai Shuuichi's dead girlfriend Akemi Miyano is voiced by [[Creator/ShuichiIkeda his seiyuu's]] [[Creator/SakikoTamagawa real life wife]].]]
* More than once, Conan is seen reading the actual ''Shonen Sunday'' magazine.
* In episode 494, a book named ''Literature/{{Paprika}}'' together with another book named ''Literature/TheSecretGarden'' is briefly shown.
* In the episode 792, Ai make a reference to Lum of ''Manga/UruseiYatsura''.
* The naming scheme of the criminal gang in Episodes 775-776 is probably inspired by ''Film/ReservoirDogs'', only with parts of the face instead of colors.
* Episodes 727-728, "The Treasure Chest Filled With Fruit", centers around a cooking show that parodies ''Series/IronChef''.
* The case of the Red Horse is a Shout Out to the Poirot novel ''The ABC Mysteries''. Conan even relates the plight of the antique shop owner to that of Arthur B. Cust, who were both hypnotized into thinking they were serial murderers.
* One instance of ArtisticLicenseLaw Eri pointed out in the movie at the end of chapter 986 (episode 902) is that the main character [[ThatWasObjectionable kept shouting]] "[[Franchise/AceAttorney OBJECTION!]]" in front of the judge. In a case of ContinuityNod, the plot of the movie is based from an earlier case (chapters 264-266/episodes 199-200), complete with the protagonist's name being a [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed thinly-veiled anagram of Eri Kisaki.]]
* In case 1022, the superhero Kamen Yaiba has been inducted into a multinational team called [[ComicBook/TheAvengers The Azengers]]. It also mentions a detective drama called ''[[Music/AKB48 Detective 48]]''.
