* An achievement/trophy is called "He Hasn't Covered Wars..."

* Sgt. Boykin spouts Hudson's lines from ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' in a cutscene. [[spoiler:And when he dies, he suicides himself with a grenade like Vasquez.]]

* "Two Girls, One Club."

* When Frank made Spitfire in the original, it gave him fatal loogies. When Chuck makes Spitfire he is able [[StreetFighter literally spit a wall of flame]].
** One of the masks is a "goblin mask" that is clearly Blanka from StreetFighter. Furthering the homage is a combo weapon - take the mask, add some batteries, and you have an electricity-spewing Blanka head!

** Combine yellow suit with knife gloves for low rent {{Wolverine}} cosplay.

** In a reference to two other famous British bands, one of the band members is named [[Music/PinkFloyd Floyd]] [[Music/TheRollingStones Stone]].

** The Laser Sword is made by combining the flashlight with gems, meaning it's effectively a low-budget [[StarWars Lightsaber]].

* [[StarWars "Uh, yeah, we had a slight, uh... alarm malfunction up here, but it's all clear, situation normal."]]

* Tomomi Miyamoto's rescue mission is called Wax On Wax Off and she has a move resembling the Crane Kick. Both are homages to TheKarateKid.

* Combining a [[InsistentTerminology "massager,"]] which can be found in the sex shop in the Platinum Strip, with a leaf-blower gets you the Super Massager weapon. Which is very reminiscent to the gas powered sex-toy Ed picked up in that sex-shop in ''[[Film/TheNakedGun The Smell of Fear.]]''

** Chuck's rival Motocross racer/Terror is Reality contestant Leon Bell (Kent). Also, [[ResidentEvil y'know...]]

* One of the Achievements requires you to kill 12,345 zombies, aptly named [[{{Film/Spaceballs}} 'Luggage Code']].

* One of Chuck's possible movie reviews? [[RottenTomatoes 100% Rotten]].

* The battle with [[spoiler:the twins]] appears to be a shout out to ''StreetsOfRage''. Fighting [[spoiler:sexy evil twin ninjas]] in an ocean-themed nightclub with electronic dance music blaring seems to be more than a coincidence.

* The host and announcers - and the show in general - of Terror Is Reality is one big Shout Out to [[MadWorld a similar pay-per-view event]], up to and including [[spoiler:the host serving as the final boss of the game]], taunting you all the while.

* For whatever reason, the survivor you rescue from Seymour, Ray Teller, looks ''exactly'' like KevinBacon.

** She's also seen playing [[VideoGame/Megaman Megaman]] on her handheld, which resembles a [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] or a [[

* The quest "WWJWD" is short for "What Would JohnWayne Do?". He probably wouldn't start hanging innocent people for shits and giggles...

* Katey has a [[DragonQuest Slime]] keychain on her backpack, and the text "Puff Puff" on it is a reference to a vaguely sexual RunningGag in the series.

* You can find a comedian named Walter Morris who's dressed a ''lot'' like [[Series/ElChavoDelOcho El Chavo]]. And a possible shout out to {{Fargo}}, his notebook description reads "Kinda funny looking".

* Beating Evan results in a homage to the liquid nitrogen kill from ''Film/{{Terminator 2}}''.

** When you get a good look at that suit from the front, you can see that it's also a reference to ''SaturdayNightFever''.

* One of the Achievements requires you to kill 12,345 zombies, aptly named [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Spaceballs 'Luggage Code']].

* Sgt. Boykin spouts Hudson's lines from ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' in a custscene. [[spoiler:And when he dies, he suicides himself with a grenade like Vasquez.]]

** Yet another and possible subtle one, ''Film/TheRunningMan'' complete with a jumpsuit that matches Arnold's one in the film, and the fact TK is much like Killian [[spoiler:(the BigBad, an egotistical {{Jerkass}}, and someone who uses a love one for entertainment value)]].

* With the obese body shape, pig-themed costume, and giant chainsaw, Randy Tugman seems extremely similar to the final boss of ''{{Manhunt}}'', Piggsy. His fighting style is also pretty similar.

* You can dress in a yellow tracksuit and trainers ala ''Film/KillBill''[=/=]TheGameOfDeath.
