* In ''Film/DWar'', concerning the Atrox Leader's absurdly deep voice: "[[TheFinalSacrifice Rowsdower?]] Is that you?"

* In the riff for ''[[TheLordOfTheRings The Two Towers]]'', there's a callback to the [=MST3K=] running gag "SLEEEP!".

* In the ''[[Film/XMen1 X-Men]]'' commentary, Bill "Crow" Corbett makes the [[IncrediblyLamePun "Can't we get]] '''[[IncrediblyLamePun beyond]]''' [[Film/MadMaxBeyondThunderdome Thunderdome?"]] joke from ''Film/{{Laserblast}}'', to Mike's despair.
* On their commentary for ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', Bill says, "Krankor?!", an allusion to a villain from ''PrinceOfSpace'', when the Joker enters and starts cackling.

* There's a scene in the X-Files movie near the beginning in which numerous 18-wheelers pull up, and Mary Jo says, ''RidingWithDeath 2: The Revenge of Robert Denby''.

* ''Star Wars Attack of the Clones'' has Mike saying "Into the Weenie-Mobile and off I go" as Anakin hops into a hovercar during the early assassin chase. It's a callback to the same remark in ''MST3K: TheMovie''.

* A callback to "Time for go to bed" from ''TheUnearthly'' in the ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace'' [=RiffTrax=] nearly brought down the house at the live show.

* A similar thing happened during their holiday shorts-stravaganza, when a man popped up dressed in a space costume: "Santa's new assistant, PrinceOfSpace!"

* Kevin says that ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'' is the first of a trilogy, the last of which is ''OverdrawnAtTheMemoryBank''. Bill thinks it sounds familiar.
* [[ClashOfTheTitans "Okay, so when they chop the big bad guy's hand off, his blood started smoking and then turned into giant scorpions.]] Are we sure this isn't an episode of WebComic/AxeCop?"

* They like to reference ''{{Lost}}'' quite a bit, particularly their disappointment with the last few seasons. A very subtle reference was made during the riff of ''Film/TheDarkKnight''. At one point in the film, Kevin (speaking as the mayor of Gotham City) says "Get off the island, you say?" The mayor was played by Nestor Carbonell, who also played Richard Alpert on ''{{Lost}}''.

* In ''Phantom Menace'' whilst continuing the RunningGag about certain aliens' notable Chinese accents one of them says (to a robot servant): 'Ahh, thank you, Number One' which is a shout out to ''TheNavyLark'', a common phrase said by the re-occuring Chinese villain.

* "What, you think the guy in the $3000 suit is gonna be [[Film/{{Titanic}} rowing an oar]]? [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment Come on]]!" (The guys directly shout out A.D. a few minutes later, saying they miss it.)

* In ''DoctorWhoAndTheDaleks'', the trio respond to a scene of two Daleks watching a video monitor by asking [[MysteryScienceTheater3000 why anyone would want to watch a couple of robots watching a movie.]]
* In ''Film/{{Titanic}}'', Kevin's line of "I'm gonna sink this bitch" for Captain Théoden is taken verbatim, at the exact same scene, from way back when Mike and the bots did a short special to look over the movies that were at the Oscars that year (one of which of course was ''Titanic''). Notable for Bill saying in an interview that for the longest time, it was one of his favorite jokes in the history of the show.

* In the ''[[Film/XMen1 X-Men]]'' commentary, Bill "Crow" Corbett makes the [[IncrediblyLamePun "Can't we get]] '''[[IncrediblyLamePun beyond]]''' [[Film/MadMaxBeyondThunderdome Thunderdome?"]] joke from ''{{Laserblast}}'', to Mike's despair.

* In ''PlanetOfTheDinosaurs'', there are some mentions of other planet-themed movies riffed on, such as ''Film/ThePhantomPlanet'' and ''WomenOfThePrehistoricPlanet''. Plus references to the "Roll Fizzlebeef" name list from ''SpaceMutiny''. And a shoutout to ''TheMightyBoosh''.

---> '''Bill''': [[HypocriticalHumor So they're just going to sit alone in the theater seats and make wisecracks about the show? What jerks.]]

---> '''Han Solo''': Chewie, get us outta here!
---> '''Bill''': Kalgan, take me away!

--->'''Yue:''' "It is time we show the Fire Nation that we believe in our beliefs as much as they believe in theirs."
--->'''Kevin:''' "I don't believe that you believe in your beliefs. [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Believe it!]]"

--->'''Kevin:'''"Oh, come on, what kind of crazy director would make his [[Film/{{Memento}} movie backwards]]?!?!?"

---> '''Mike:''' Actually, Kevin, this looks like El Paso.\\

** In the new Rifftrax intro movie, the Satellite of Love can be scene when the camera pans up into the sky.

* And yet another one in the FantasticFour riff where Mike references the infamous "Your guns dont work against me!" lines, much to Kevin's amusement

* When two characters in ''Attack of the Puppet People'' are seen watching Film/TheAmazingColossalMan, Kevin and Bill ask Mike if it reminds him of anything. This also works as a shout out to the [=MST3K=] riff of Film/{{Gamera}} (from the same season as The Amazing Colossal Man), where the bots asked the same thing to Joel when a rocket ship is shown taking off.

* ''Film/BattlefieldEarth'':
--->'''Bill:''' Psssh. 3000. What has the year 3000 ever done for us?

* The beginning of the first ''{{Film/X-Men}}'' movie has an establishing subtitle, "The not too distant future." Bill and Mike both comment on it.

* In DragonWars, concerning the Atrox Leader's absurdly deep voice: "[[TheFinalSacrifice Rowsdower?]] Is that you?"
