History ShoutOut / ScottPilgrimvsTheWorld

** His band is named after the ''[[VideoGame/KunioKun Crash 'n the Boys: Street Challenge]]'' [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] game.

* In the scene where Stephen Stills is telling everyone about the TIBB, Young Neil's T-shirt features the logo for the UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 64}}.

* Amongst Wallace's games console collection are a [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]], [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]], Nintendo Zapper, and many classic games-- all in working order.

* Scott Pilgrim is wearing an original ''Franchise/XMen'' logo patch on his parka.

* The fight between [[MightyGlacier Ramona]] and [[FragileSpeedster Roxy]] is pure ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur''. Roxy's razor belt sword whip is a tribute to the weapon of Ivy Valentine in the Namco game ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soulcalibur]]'', and her outfit's even ripped to match. Ramona has [[DropTheHammer Rock's Onslaught]].

* Scott throws the Clash At Demonhead CD on top of the Music/{{Beck}} section of the CD store. Beck wrote Sex Bob-Omb's songs for the movie.

-->'''Scott''': "I'm not up for this right now, come back later."\\
'''Roxy''': "Oh I'd love to darlin', but I'm afraid I just cashed my last raincheck."\\
'''Scott''': "What's that from?"\\
'''Roxy''': "'''''My brain!'''''"
* After [[spoiler: Scott is convinced to go get Ramona back]], Edgar Wright uses his mundane LockAndLoadMontage parody, a favourite technique of his in ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' and ''Film/HotFuzz''. And then subverts it brilliantly.

* Could be a coincidence, but [[spoiler: the scene where Gideon makes Scott [[UnsoundEffect DEAD]]]] is rather reminicent of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''.

* The five way reaction split after [[spoiler: Gideon stabs Scott]] was inspired by Japanese anime shows.

* Young Neil's T-shirt in the second Sex Bob-Omb rehersal scene is for ''Movement'', [[Music/NewOrder New Order]]'s debut album.

* Early in the film during the bathroom/school dream sequence, a choir can be heard singing the menu/Fairy Fountain theme from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda''.

* The ItemGet theme from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'' is used at least twice.

* Many other video game sound effects are used too, notably the ring sound from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog''.

* A ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' ring pickup effect soundtracks the "He Really Doesn't" caption.

* The first song Scott Pilgrim suggests Sex Bob-omb play is "Launchpad [=McQuack=]", who was the pilot character in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales''.

* In the second arcade scene, Scott wears a Match Pik T-shirt. They are a well-known brand of plectrums.
* In the scene where Stephen Stills is telling everyone about the TIBB, Young Neil's T-shirt features the logo for the UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 64}}.

* The ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' theme plays in the scene after Scott spends the night with Ramona (the whole scene being a take on ''Seinfeld'').

* After the bus ride where Scott learns he's dating Ramona, the next scene at the apartment opens with the ''{{Series/Seinfeld}}'' theme. The whole scene feels very ''{{Series/Seinfeld}}''-esque in general, complete with LaughTrack.

* This isn't the only time (Young) Neil went on to join [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosby,_Stills_%26_Nash_%28and_Young%29 a trio of musicians headed by Stephen Stills]].
