* The opening to the game is a reference to the opening of ''Film/AClockworkOrange'', with Conker narrating, holding milk in his hand, and with the same music from said scene (though Live & Reloaded replaced the milk glass with a goblet, making the reference to the scene a little odd).

''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'', maybe as part of its nature as the game equivalent to ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', contains a lot of [[ReferenceOverdosed pop culture references.]]

This page only exists for a reason: listing them, which may well be as hard as the game itself.

Establishing Series Moment is a more accurate trope for this than Establishing Shot.

* The final boss is a reference to ''Franchise/{{Alien}}''; in fact Conker repeats the "Get away from her you bitch!" line from ''Film/{{Aliens}}''. It's also fought in a similar way to the Bowser boss fights in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', where you have to pick the Alien up by the Tail and spin them around, then let go to try and throw him out the airlock. After the confrontation, ''The Matrix'' is once again referenced when the game enters debug mode and Conker selects a weapon from an incoming row of all kinds of weaponry. And ''then'' Conker [[Film/PulpFiction exchanges a chainsaw for a katana]] to deliver the final blow to the FinalBoss.

Whereas the latter is portrayed as a deep-voiced, tall and imposing figure with a fondness of cats, Gregg's a squeaky-voiced midget that hates those bloody critters with an undying bloody passion (but hates TheUndead even more).

* The giant dinosaur head in the caveman's shrine is a parody of the Dodongo Cavern level in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''. To enter the dinosaur head in Zelda you have to place bombs on the dinosaurs eyes, which lights them up and opens the dinosaur's mouth. In Conker you have to place pepper in each of the dinosaur's nostrils instead, which will cause it to sneeze and open its mouth.
* The password for admittance into the rock-men's club is "Fellatio -- err, [[Film/EyesWideShut "Fidelio]]". The creators do seem to love their Kubrick.
* Don Weaso beating Paulie to death with a [[BatterUp Baseball Bat]] mirrors that famous scene from ''Film/TheUntouchables''.

* In the Casualty Department, Conker finds two surgeon tediz having a "philosophical" conversation about the nature of the game ("What if you were to give this game to - say - twenty intelligent people? I mean, what would that do? Let's face it, what would that do?" "Really, that's interesting") until they notice the red squirrel and decide to "[[PulpFiction get into character]]", i.e growling incoherently and trying to stab him to death with flying scalpels.
