History ShoutOut / CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier

*** The inclusion of Vasco Rossi in the Italian Dub may even be something of a "ShoutBack" to the fact that his original backup band was called "The Steve Rogers Band."

* When Black Widow kicks Jasper Sitwell off the building. Is that Leonidas did on the messenger in the 300 movie but unlike it Falcon managed to save him to get the info they need.

** The Australian version mentions [[Series/CrocodileHunter Steve Irwin]], ''Series/SkippyTheBushKangaroo'' and Tim Tams.

** The French version mentions the 1998 [[UsefulNotes/TheWorldCup World Cup]], Creator/LouisDeFunes, stand-up comedian Coluche, ''Film/TheFifthElement'', and Music/DaftPunk.

** The Russian version mentions UsefulNotes/YuriGagarin, Creator/VladimirVysotsky, and ''Film/MoscowDoesNotBelieveInTears''.

* Steve's notebook, in which he's written a list of things from the past 70 years he needs to catch-up on, is littered with these. Exactly what's on the list [[Main/CulturalTranslation varies from country to country]] to match with pop culture in that area:

* Steve's notebook, in which he's written a list of things from the past 70 years he needs to catch-up on, is littered with these. Exactly what's on the list varies from country to country to fit in with pop culture trends in that area:

* [[Film/ForrestGump Gary]] [[Series/CSINewYork Sinise]] is the voice-guide of the Captain America museum exhibit.

* A SHIELD flight controller offhandedly says "Negative, [[Film/TopGun the pattern is full]]."

* When Black Widow is working on the '70s-era computer, she says, [[Film/WarGames "Shall we play a game?"]] She begins to explain the reference but Rogers has already gotten a chance to see ''War Games'' (which could also a CallBack to a scene in ''The Avengers'' where he also [[MemeticMutation knows that reference]]).

** The boxy camera atop Zola's computer is a shout-out to his appearance in the comics, where the bodies of his drones have a similar piece of tech in place of a head; the projection of his face on an ageing green-screen CRT monitor is a more realistic translation of the other feature of his drones, with a screen set into their stomach.

** The Italian version includes Italian singer Vasco Rossi, Ferrari's victories at F1 Grand Prix and [[LifeIsBeautiful Roberto Benigni]].
** The French version mentions the 1998 [[TheWorldCup World Cup]], Creator/LouisDeFunes, stand-up comedian Coluche, ''Film/TheFifthElement'', and Music/DaftPunk.
** The Australian version mentions [[Series/CrocodileHunter Steve Irwin]], ''Skippy the Bush Kangaroo'' and Tim Tams.

* Creator/RobertRedford gets a subtle one with his character [[spoiler:whose ultimate goal is to create a Utopian prison, wherein the prisoners believe they are completely free -- a shout-out to his biographic film Brubaker]].

** The shot of Pierce looking out at the Helicarriers as they [[spoiler: fire on Falcon]] was a shoutout to the Emperor observing the rebel fleet's attack in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''.
** Fury's "torch" looks a bit like a lightsaber and it's a lot more effective cutting through solid concrete than [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's attempt to get through an equally thick metal door]].
* One for the comics was the reference to a certain Doctor Stephen Strange during [[spoiler: Sitwell's explanation of HYDRA'S plans]].
* This movie seems to have taken a few notes from ''Film/TheFugitive'' seeing as Cap goes on the run from S.H.I.E.L.D.

* Real-life hacker/whistle-blower Edward Snowden appears in [[spoiler: cyber-Zola's]] montage; in the documentary ''Citizenfour'' [[spoiler: he uses the hydra metaphor ("cut one head off and two more will take its place") referring to the other people who have his information in case he's captured]].

** The South Korean version has ''Film/{{Oldboy}}'' and famous Korean soccer player Park Ji-Sung.

* When Cap boards the ''Lemurian Star'', he throws a knife through the hand of a pirate trying to sound the alarm. This might be a subtle reference to ''Film/StarshipTroopers'', where Career Sgt./Pvt. Zim tells the recruits that; "The enemy cannot press the button, if you disable their hand!" after piercing a recruits hand with a thrown knife as an example. The only difference is that the recruits hand sticks to the wall, the pirates does not.

* It's not the first time Samuel L. Jackson's been [[Film/DeepBlueSea the Sacrificial Lion]]. [[spoiler:He survives this time]].
* Stretching credibility: The [[spoiler: mythical hydra is a kind of serpent]], helicarriers are a kind of plane, and [[Film/SnakesOnAPlane Nick Fury has had enough of the former inhabiting the latter.]]

* Pierce asking Fury to get Iron Man to show up at his niece's birthday party "and mingle" could be a shout-out to [[https://imgur.com/gallery/4rqZL Robert Downey Jr. showing up at Jamie Foxx's daughter's birthday party]].
