* FeatheredFiend: Kitty volunteering to take care of a neighbor's pet birds quickly becomes a parody of ''Film/TheBirds'' (complete with phone booth).
* ShoutOut: Fez spends the episode dressed as [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Dr. Frank N. Furter.]]
** The whole episode strings together the plotlines of [[Creator/AlfredHitchcock Alfred Hitchcock's]] most famous films.
*** Eric is plagued with vertigo after seeing Fez fall off the roof when he was hanging off it. Donna then puts on an outfit reminiscent of Madeleine and falls off a water tower, mimicking the ending of ''Film/{{Vertigo}}''.
*** Fez breaks his leg from said fall, and is confined to Eric's bedroom for the rest of the day, watching the Pinciotti's house and believing Bob may have murdered Midge in a manner similar to ''Film/RearWindow''.
*** Kitty goes to a neighbor's house to take care of some birds, which get loose and reenact scenes from ''Film/TheBirds''.
*** Kelso is attacked by a plane just like in ''Film/NorthByNorthwest'' and then gets attacked by Laurie in the shower as in ''Film/{{Psycho}}''. He also makes reference to "cases of mistaken identity", a common theme in Hitchcock film.
