* Her suit (especially the "Emerald" skin) resembles Jupiter from ''VideoGame/MegaManV''. She even wields explosives like Jupiter was originally intended to use.

* His "Festive" skin, oddly enough, resembles [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus' Varia Suit]].

* Killing [=McCree=] on Horizon Lunar Colony: "[[Anime/CowboyBebop See you, space cowboy.]]"

to:

* Killing [=McCree=] Cassidy on Horizon Lunar Colony: "[[Anime/CowboyBebop See you, space cowboy.]]"



!!Cassidy
* Cassidy is designed after "The Man With No Name", the character played by Creator/ClintEastwood in ''Film/AFistfulOfDollars'', ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'', and ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''. This is even referenced explicitly by his unlockable voice line "I'm not good. I'm not bad. But I sure as hell ain't ugly."
* His surname "Cassidy" is borrowed from real-world turn-of-the-century outlaw [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_Cassidy Butch Cassidy]].
* His voice line during his Ultimate, "it's high noon", is a reference to the classic Western film ''Film/HighNoon''. He also has an unlockable spray called "High Noon" that resembles the poster for the film.
* During the standoff in his "Reunion" short, the piano riff and choir melody are parodying "The Ecstasy of Gold", which is the song that plays during the final standoff in ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''.
* One of his voice lines is "I'm your huckleberry," which was the catch phrase of Doc Holliday in ''Film/{{Tombstone}}''.
* Another one of his voice lines is "I'm the quick. You're the dead," referencing ''Film/TheQuickAndTheDead''.
* One of his voice lines is "Reach for the sky," referencing Woody's pre-recorded catchphrase in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''. In the French translation, the line is changed to referencing "There's a snake in my boot!" from the same film.
* His ultimate attack is also called ''Deadeye'' and involves him painting targets before unloading en masse with his revolver. These reference similar abilities of the same name in Rockstar Games' ''Red Dead'' series, which at the time of Overwatch's release, consisted of ''VideoGame/RedDeadRevolver'' and ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption''. Hilarity ensued in late 2018, as the leader of Cassidy's former gang, Ashe, was added to the game exactly a week after the release of ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2''.
* Cassidy "Mystery Man" and "Vigilante" skins are based on [[PulpMagazine pulp detective]] heroes. The scarf covering his lower face is particularly reminiscent of ''Radio/TheShadow'', while the Vigilant's yellow color scheme is inspired by ''ComicStrip/DickTracy.'' Both skins have a few bonus lines specifically referencing ''Radio/TheShadow'', including "I know the evil that lurks in the hearts of men. Cassidy always knows."
* In the French version, one of Cassidy's lines is "Viser la Lune, ça me fait pas peur"[[note]]"Aiming for the Moon, it doesn't scare me"[[/note]], which is one of the first line of the chorus of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D38EUIll1pM "Ma philosophie" by Amel Bent]]. Another of Cassidy's French lines has him saying he shoots faster than his shadow, quoting ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke''.
* In the Italian version, one of Cassidy's taunts roughly translates to "Go ahead, make my day," the memetic Dirty Harry line from ''Film/SuddenImpact''.
* Cassidy's interaction with Sombra has him insist that his name isn't Joel, a possible nod to the well known western actor Creator/JoelMcCrea (back when he was known as [=McCree=]).
* Cassidy's holiday skin serves as a shout-out to Scrooge from ''Literature/AChristmasCarol''.
* "Boom goes the dynamite," his voice line from the 2017 Summer Games event, references [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W45DRy7M1no Brian Collins and his commentary from an infamous student video]].
* One of Cassidy's rare pre-match lines in Horizon Lunar Colony is "See you, space cowboy," a recurring line in ''Anime/CowboyBebop''
* A Cassidy elimination line, "And the gunslinger followed," references the famous first line of Stephen King's ''Franchise/TheDarkTower''.
* Cassidy's belt infamously reads "BAMF," referencing Jules' wallet inscribed with "Bad-Ass Mother Fucker" in ''Film/PulpFiction''. Amusingly, other skins play with the acronym too; his Scrooge skin's belt reads GAMF, presumably for Grumpy or Greedy-Ass Mother Fucker, while his Lifeguard skin's belt reads SAMF, which could either mean Sandy-Ass Mother Fucker or Safe-Ass Mother Fucker.
* His Anniversary dance emote is the Electric Slide Line Dance.
* One of his Anniversary voice lines has him saying that he likes [[Film/TheBluesBrothers both kinds of music, country and western.]]
* One of his Halloween voice lines is [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar "You were already dead."]]



!![=McCree=]
