* The entire premise of the film -- an NPC in an MMORPG shooter discovers that the world around them is a game, and becomes a player himself. Cue almost every gaming trope and meme of the last 15 years you can think of being utilised to perfection.
* The sheer bulk of cameos in the film has to count:
** Channing Tatum is the "hero" in Guy's opening monologue on Free City, and is also the owner of the "stash house" where Millie's evidence is stored.
** Hugh Jackman is Millie's masked contact in the opening.
** Dwayne Johnson voices the bank robber who Guy inadvertently kills for his glasses.
** Chris Evans, providing a [[PrecisionFStrike very appropriate response]] when he spots Guy using his shield. Bonus points on this one for the fact that Disney essentially lent Ryan 'Deadpool' Reynolds Cap's shield.
** The various streamers and Website/YouTube personalities, such as Pokimane, Ninja, and Jacksepticeye, making cameo appearances commenting on the various exploits of BSG.
* A subtle, but understated one. ''Free Guy'' was one of the last films in development prior to Disney buying out the former [[Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios 20th Century Fox]]. When Reynolds and director Shawn Levy realized this, they attempted to take advantage of that by simply asking Disney if they could use some of their IP. To their shock, Disney gave the okay, allowing for a film-accurate [[Franchise/StarWars lightsaber]] and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's shield. Disney then upped the ante by allowing outside IP as well, turning ''Free Guy'' into a film rife with a ton of gaming nods and pop culture references. This allowed the producers to get licenses for other non-Disney properties, such as [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man's]] Mega Buster, the [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} portal gun]], the [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 gravity]] [[VideoGame/GarrysMod gun]], and even nods to films like ''Film/{{Inception}}'' and ''Film/DoctorStrange'' in their reality-warping scenes.

* The ending is a mix of this with HeartwarmingMoments. Guy pointing out to Millie that he is just a program and that someone wrote him as a love letter, attested to how much Guy has advanced beyond his original programming. He is basically thinking out of the box, perceived his creator and his own purpose all by himself, making him very much like a human.

* A subtle, but understated one. ''Free Guy'' was one of the last films in development prior to Disney buying out the former [[Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios 20th Century Fox]]. When Reynolds and director Shawn Levy realized this, they attempted to take advantage of that by simply asking Disney if they could use some of their IP. To their shock, Disney gave the okay, allowing for a film accurate [[Franchise/StarWars lightsaber]] and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's shield. Disney then upped the ante by allowing outside IP as well, turning ''Free Guy'' into a film rife with a ton of gaming nods and pop culture references. This allowed the producers to get licenses for other non-Disney properties, such as [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic {{Mega Man's}}]] Mega Buster, the [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} Portal Gun]], the [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 Gravity Gun]] and even nods to films like ''Film/{{Inception}}'' and ''Film/DoctorStrange'' in their reality warping scenes.

Correcting the second mention of Mega Man's weapon to stay consistent with the previous mention, as well as the franchise itself.

* The Dev Chase sequence, particularly when Mouser activates 'God Mode', allowing him to recreate the local environment to his requirements in order to catch up to Guy.
* The montage of Guy climbing through the ranks ''without'' killing anyone. His rapid levelling makes his mission go viral, as streamers and players discover you get levels faster by playing good, rather than bad.
** Hell, the entire IRL montage as people talk about the rogue player "Blue Shirt Guy (BSG)"
* Guy's fight with Dude looks like it is going to be a CurbStompBattle in Dude's favour, until Guy gets his shades back and summons Cap's shield, complete with appropriate fanfare, which utterly stops Dude's deathblow in its tracks.
** He follows this up with a Hulk-infused uppercut, and then draws a lightsaber, which apparently shocks even the Devs!
** He continues his armory showcase using the Gravity Gun to slam Dude through an awning, then pulls a Portal Gun to close the distance, although Dude counters by darting through the portal and aiming to break Guy's ribs.
** The finale to the fight? Guy has no weapons that can beat Dude because the Devs gave him [[CompleteImmortality God Mode.]] He uses his shades as a weapon the Devs can't block, putting them on Dude to show him the game world, fundamentally altering his code.

** Channing Tatum is the "hero" in Guy's opening monologue on Free City, and is also the Stash House owner where Millie's evidence is stored.
** Hugh Jackman stars as Millie's contact in the opening.
** Dwayne Johnson voices the bank robber who Guy inadvertantly kills for his glasses.
** Chris Evans, providing a [[PrecisionFStrike very appropriate response]] when he spots Guy using his shield. Bonus points on this one for the fact that Disney essentially lent Ryan 'Deadpool' Reynolds Cap's shield, and that clip could be his legitimate response to seeing this for the first time.
