Shout Out / Jazzpunk

• The first trailer is a shot-for-shot remake of the Thunderbirds opening rendered in the game's engine.
  • By extension, "Filmed in SUPERPOLYGONATION!"
• The second trailer is an homage to Johnny Mnemonic.

  "I want... ROOM SERVICE! I want the club sandwich! I want the cold, Mexican beer! I want the ten-thousand credit a night pro-bot!"

  • Adding to this, one of the movies advertised in the first area is "Johnny Pneumonia". The names of the other movies? A Colt Is My Password, Quadruple Indemnity and The Big Sleepmode.

• A film that can be ordered by Soviet telephone is Kremlins 2: The New Batch.
• The password cracker mentioned in the Unexpected Gameplay Change example functions a lot like Geordi's visor.
• The typewriter from The Shining appears, but the words on the paper gradually degrade into repeating the word "pizza" over and over.
  • Immediately after finding this typewriter, the entire room comes to life with assorted cackling and giggling noises.
• Picking up a fruit bowl in one area reveals a small Carmen Miranda lookalike who recites Rita Repulsa's opening speech from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers verbatim...before throwing assorted fruit at you.
  • Not to mention the entire point of the minigame it hosts is to use a katana to slice up a bunch of fruit before it falls.
• The sound effect from the below Spinning Paper example resembles the famous transition sting from Batman.
• One moment has you playing a first-person combat game called "Wedding Qake".
• Hunter S. Thompson appears in full Raoul Duke garb. You can also find his signature in the guest list at the Kai Tak Hotel.
• Numerous to Street Fighter II
• One of the NPCs has a TV for a head
• The Ramen Shop guy is full of them:
  • "You must be Nexus 6"
• In the Kai Tak Resort, you can find a turtle. Interact with it and Raphael's things -- a sai, a red bandana and some pizza — will spawn.
• If you look through the coin-operated binoculars on the second floor of the Kai Tak Resort, you get the gun barrel opening from the James Bond films, complete with opening theme and everything. Then you find out that "James Bond" is actually hovering in front of you, but he doesn't fall until you see him. And he lets out a goat scream for good measure.
• Should you call the Kremlin on your first mission, the hold music is "Theme A" from Tetris.
• In the resort area, you can find a sheep. Clicking on it prompts a "Yes, mi lord?". Clicking on it repeatedly makes it explode.
• Typing in the "text adventure" command into the game's mock console window gives a slightly altered replica of the opening to Zork.
• Another console command given in the help prompt is "impulse 101", a Half-Life 2 Classic Cheat Code that grants the player all weapons in the game. Here, it just drops a random assortment of weapons in front of the player, none of which can be picked up.
• During the Travel Montage, the East coast and centre of Australia is called "Thunderdome". The West coast is called, "Beyond Thunderdome".
  • Another country is known as "Hadokenya". Hovering over it causes the "Hadouken" sound effect to play. Speaking of Street Fighter, there is also "E. Honduras", clearly a reference to E. Honda.
  • "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Gascar" and "Democratic Republic Of Doctor Moreau" are two other countries.
• The final level features two jokes involving flying toasters with angel wings.
• One side quest in the second level has you work as a "Knife Jogger", out to unmask "realplicants" and "retire" them.
• During the Street Fighter-inspired minigame where you beat up a Honda (not E. Honda, just Some Honda), your character shouts something incomprehensible for one of his attacks. Those in the know recognize the line as "The pipes are broken!" from Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, Too?.
• One of the steps to get into the Kremlin's phone line involves a whistle found in a Bland-Name Product for Cap'n Crunch. This is a reference to when an American computer programmer was able to exploit an AT&T security vulnerability using a whistle included in a box of Cap'n Crunch that emitted a tone similar in frequency to a tone that they were using for call routing.
• In the Kai Tak Resort, the player can find a pair of bunny slippers. One of them is missing an eye, and can be used to open rather familiar-looking portals to other realities.
  • It's also to be noted that the word slip is often paired with the word slide - and as further evidence, the guys accompanying the slippers resemble Arturo and Rembrandt.
• While escaping from the simulation, Polyblank comes across the History Eraser Button.
• Polyblank uses Edward's scissor hands to trim a topiary...of a figure with an erection.
• In the Flavor Nexus, a pizza zombie apppears with a fast POV shot bursting into the store in another Evil Dead reference. The zombie is then fought with a chainsaw to continue it and the fact that it's cut in half from the top down may be a reference to the remake.
• In the Flavor Nexus, Polyblank can interact with soup cans by putting up an exhibition card to frame them as an art piece, with an artist credit rhyming with "Andy Warhol".
• The Kai Tak Resort bathrooms feature three seashells on the walls.
