The Cylons stop the trucks, telling the prisoners they're stopping to allow them to stretch their legs, which then they realize that the Cylons are going to kill them right there. This entire sequence is inspired by ''Film/TheGreatEscape'', in which several of the escapes are executed by the gestapo in a similar way. The only difference is that for the show, the Resistance showed up to take out the Centurions before they could fire a shot.

* Boomer's mission to destroy the Cylon ship at the end of Season 1 is almost exactly the same as the mission pulled off at the end of Independence Day.
* The term "skinjob" is comes from ''Film/BladeRunner'', which has been openly admitted as an influence. It's also an ActorAllusion, as Edward James Olmos was in ''Blade Runner''. The standard Colonial Sidearm, at least in the first season, is also a replica of Deckard's gun from the same film. This can be seen quite clearly in many scenes and was apparently confirmed in a DVD commentary. Likewise the civilian Stallion pistol is actually COP .357 Derringer, used in the opening scene where a Replicant shoots a Blade Runner.
* From "Colonial Day":
-->'''Laura Roslin''': Don't smirk, Zarek. I won't kiss you.
-->'''Tom Zarek''': [[Film/{{Patton}} It's a shame. I shaved very close in anticipation of getting smacked by you.]]
* Cylon Model Number 6 is a shout out to Series/ThePrisoner.
* Serenity from ''{{Series/Firefly}}'' can be seen landing on Caprica in the background of a scene from the Miniseries.
* [[spoiler: Naming the deceased Cylon model "Daniel" seems to be a shout out to the Creator/IsaacAsimov android R. Daneel Olivaw.]]
* The way Laura Roslin became president might be a ShoutOut to a scene in Pat Frank's Literature/AlasBabylon: The female Secretary of Education becomes the President of the US after a nuclear attack, and uses the radio to address the few surviving towns in America.
** Her inauguration on board Colonial One deliberately emulates the inauguration of American president UsefulNotes/LyndonJohnson in the wake of UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy's assassination. ''Babylon 5'' also used this imagery with the inauguration of [[PresidentEvil President Clarke]].
* Cally shooting Boomer in "Resistance" is meant to emulate the murder of [[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy JFK]]'s assassin Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby.
** Also from "Resistance", The incident on board the Gideon is inspired by the [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution Boston Massacre]].
* Tyrol's union speech in "Lay Down Your Burdens" is almost a direct word for word quote of a speech given by Mario Savio during the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley, California in 1964. The production staff went so far as to obtain permission from Savio's widow to use the quote.

* Franchise/StarTrek references:
** The [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries original Enterprise]] appears as part of the rag tag fleet in the Miniseries, and in the openings of seasons 1 and 2 due to recycled footage.
** The Astral Queen is a shout out to the Original Series episode "The Conscience of the King," which Ron Moore has described as his favorite Original Series episode. The producers later admitted that "Astral Queen" was a ''terrible'' name for a ''prison ship.''
** In "The Ties That Bind," members of the Final Five meet in a weapons locker [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration 1701D]].
* In "Sacrifice" a shadowy silhouetted picture of "alleged Cylon prisoner Sharon Valerii" is seen in the terrorist's RoomfullOfCrazy, possibly a reference to the similar "Photo believed to be Col. W. E. Kurz". A similar ''Film/ApocalypseNow'' shout out is the Shore Patrol picking up a drunken Tigh for his assignment (including the "What are the charges?" line).
