** Rex is basically a blend of Kyle Reese[[note]]who was of course orginally played by Rex's InkSuitActor Michael Bein[[/note]] and the titular killing machine, from the original Terminator.

** The A.J.M. [[note]]Double points for ''Alex James Murphy''[[/note]] pistol is modeled on Robocop's "Auto 9" custom Beretta 93R, and even makes a direct reference to it in it's description. Rex also twirls it around cowboy-style before holstering it like said character.

** The missile silo from the prologue is named '''Kimble''' Bunker, after Detective John Kimble from ''{{Film/KindergartenCop}}''.

** Ironically, vehement anti-communist Sloans main base on the island is called '''Danko''' Base, after Captain Ivan Danko, the Soviet cop from ''{{Film/RedHeat}}''.

* Near one of the TV's is the corpse of an Omega Force soldier who [[Video Game/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim took an arrow to the knee.]]

** The fact that Rex can't attack Sloan due to his programming is also a call to Robocop's Directive 4.

** The endoskeleton of the MKV (some can be seen laying around) looks exactly like a T101's.

* One of the possible one-liners after killing an enemy with the [[GatlingGood Terror 4000]] is [[ApocalypseNow "Get some!"]]

* The mission given immediately after saving Dr. Darling is titled [[{{Poltergeist}} "They're He-eeere!"]]

* Also, from ''Franchise/StarWars'', there is [[spoiler:the villain stating "I programmed you. I made you! I am your father!" and the response "NOOOOO!"]]
