Added DiffLines:

* ActorAllusion:
** Casey says a line AdamBaldwin has used before -- as Jayne in ''{{Firefly}}''.
-->'''Casey''': You are starting to damage my calm, Chuck.
-->'''Casey''': Shiny!
** In "Chuck Versus the Fear of Death", [[AdamBaldwin Casey]] asks [[SummerGlau Greta]] what kind of "[[{{Firefly}} crew]]" she used to be on.
** Casey also makes mention of removing Chuck's "man parts". [[{{Firefly}} Jayne]] threatens to show his to River.
** There's also a mention of ''FullMetalJacket''.
** The first thing Scott Bakula says to Ellie? [[QuantumLeap "Oh boy."]]
** [[strike:Buster]] Emmett yelling "[[ArrestedDevelopment No touching!]]" at the hordes of Tyler Martin fans.
** In "Chuck Versus the Three Words," Morgan says that Carina is not some girl, but "basically a Swedish supermodel." Which is exactly what Mini Anden is in real life. (You may have seen her as the former face of Armani Code.)
** [[{{Superman}} Brandon Routh]] as Agent Shaw has donned glasses that look suspiciously like ones Clark Kent would wear.
** In "Chuck Versus First Class," Hannah sees a character played by StoneColdSteveAustin and tries to guess his profession-- "A professional wrestler, maybe?"
** In "Chuck Versus the Mask", Hannah ([[{{Smallville}} Kristin Kreuk]]) mentions how handsome she thinks Shaw looks. In that same scene, Chuck refers to Shaw as a "strong, Superman-y type of guy".
** Chuck constantly referring to Dr. Leo Dreyfus in "Chuck Versus the Tooth" (as played by ChristopherLloyd) as [[BackToTheFuture "Doc."]] [[spoiler:He then gets Chuck [[OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest committed to a mental asylum]].]]
** "Chuck Versus the Anniversary" - Harry Dean Stanton as a RepoMan and DolphLundgren dropping several of his {{Rocky}} lines.
** "Chuck Versus the Cubic Z" includes an ActorAllusion between two of its guest stars, as [[spoiler:Stacy Keibler and StoneColdSteveAustin have a brief reprise match]].
** In "Chuck Versus the Aisle of Terror," Robert Englund shows up as a man who can make people have [[NightmareonElmstreet "nightmares they can never wake up from."]]
** In "Chuck Versus the Leftovers," [[spoiler:Mary Elizabeth Bartowski (played by Linda Hamilton)]] tells Chuck and Sarah to "[[TheTerminator Come with me if you want to live.]]"
** Sarah, [[spoiler: undercover for Volkoff.]] With black-dyed hair and a catsuit. "[[spoiler: [[MassEffect I love a good suicide mission.]]]]"

* BilingualBonus: In "Chuck Versus the Last Details," Morgan [[ItMakesSenseInContext pretends to attend a meeting as Ettore La Barba]]. "La Barba" means "TheBeard," which is also a FanNickname given to Morgan.

* {{Expy}}:
** Most of the more competent non-main character spies have at least some measure of Bond in them (the rest by and large trend toward [=MiB=] [[ShoutOut Shout-outs]]):
*** Cole Barker is Daniel Craig's Bond;
*** Roan Montgomery is Sean Connery's Bond;
*** Bryce is Brosnan's bond;
*** And even Charles Carmichael seems to be based on Roger Moore's Bond (though when he does his Bond impression, it's using Connery's accent).
*** And Timothy Dalton plays a Bond Villain! Maybe this is more of an ActorAllusion, but it should be noted somewhere.
** Casey's old team is like an evil version of TheATeam.
** In "Chuck Versus the CAT Squad", the all-female CAT Squad, Sarah's old team, is obviously based on ''CharliesAngels''.
