2 | * A chapter in ''The Arctic Incident'' called ''Mulch Ado About Nothing'' is named after the Creator/WilliamShakespeare play, ''Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing''. |
3 | * Book Six, and Artemis is playing the defense. Cue [[Franchise/AceAttorney "'But this creature is magical', objected Artemis, banging the podium with his fist"]] |
4 | ** There's also Artemis' little brother Myles who seems overly fond of his father's cravat... |
5 | * Again in Book Six, Mulch talking to [[spoiler:Opal Koboi]]. "[[Film/TheDarkKnight I bet you would set the world on fire just to see it burn.]]" What's really weird is that this shows up in the U.S. copy of the book, which was released over a week before the premier of Film/TheDarkKnight. Considering how long the editing and publication process takes, this is most likely not a shoutout, just a coincidence. |
6 | * In Opal Deception, mind-wiped Artemis wakes up and sees Holly (whom he no longer recognizes) sitting next to the bed crying. |
7 | -->Artemis: [[Franchise/PeterPan Why are you crying, girl?]] |
8 | * Lampshaded in Book seven: |
9 | --> Artemis: "The lives of many are more important than the lives of the few." |
10 | --> Mulch: "I saw that on Franchise/StarTrek." |
11 | * In Book Seven, Mulch mentions a "[[Series/Chef1993 program about an angry, foul-mouthed chef and his staff that he enjoys watching,]]" |
12 | * Juliet using [[Series/WalkerTexasRanger a roundhouse kick]] to take out [[Creator/ChuckNorris a bearded cowboy]]. |
13 | * A chapter named Murder Most Fowl from the Time Paradox is also the title of a book. There's also two references to ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' in the same book. 'all real, just like Lord of the Rings' and 'like one of Tolkien's creatures'. |
14 | * Artemis also uses the alias Stefan Bashkir, the same name as Stefan from one of Creator/EoinColfer's other books, ''Literature/TheSupernaturalist''. |
15 | * Chapter sampling from the second book: [[Film/FromRussiaWithLove To Russia With Gloves]], [[Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing Mulch Ado About Nothing]]. |
16 | * Three of Commander Root's cousins were in the movie of ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''. |
17 | * Af books have several references to great criminal of older date [[Literature/TheStainlessSteelRat Jim DiGriz]] most obvious are |
18 | ** book 5 - where Artemis returned from time travel several years later than he came and find his mother Angeline has twins |
19 | ** book 2 - When Artemis use his blood to fake shooting his father. |
20 | * Foaly tells his nephew Mayne in the last book, "Listen, nephew, if you want to strap a horn to your forehead and go to conventions on the weekends, that's completely fine" and references a miniseries about unicorns that Mayne is rather obsessed with. Seems the Lower Elements have their own version of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. |
21 | ** That, or ''Franchise/StarTrek'', since Mayne also speaks "Unicornian", an In-Universe fictional language (compare this to fans of ''Star Trek'' speaking Klingon). |
22 | * In the final book, Foaly pokes fun about the fear of the number four Artemis had while suffering from his Atlantis Complex by telling him "[[Franchise/StarWars May the fours be with you.]]" |
23 | * Two companies crossed over between the Artemis Fowl series and ''The Supernaturalist'' |
24 | ** Phonetix: originally mentioned in ''Eternity Code'' as the main competitor to Jon Spiro's Fission Chips |
25 | ** Krom Automobiles: originally mentioned in ''The Supernaturalist'' makes an appearance in ''Last Guardian'' as a fairy company that bought the former Koboi Labs building. |
26 | * When Mulch breaks into the actress's apartment in the ''Arctic Incident'' graphic novel it's done in a similar style to Rorschach entering The Comedian's apartment at the start of ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'', including a billboard advertising a candy called ''Mmeltdowns''. |
