Moved examples across.

Added DiffLines:

[[AC:PAYDAY The Heist]]
* Each of the heists is based on a movie. For example, the "Heat Street" heist, involving an open-air shootout with the cops on crowded city streets, is heavily inspired by ''{{Heat}}''.
* Have an AI teammate in the bank lobby at the start of the "First World Bank" heist. [[{{Heat}} Neil McCauley's]] line from the bank robbery scene gets quoted, word for word.
* There is one to VideoGame/Left4Dead in the form of an achievement, LeftForDead, which you get for finishing a heist in custody while all three of your teammates escape, something that is very common in finales of... wait for it... Left 4 Dead.
** The 7th Patch added zombie-related movie-posters to "Panic Room" and some very familiar red first-aid-kits - four in a room only available in Overkill 145+, two in the cellar you escape through. In addition, "Diamond Heist" got a few posters with a young woman, which looks a lot like Zoey with a bit longer hair and no ponytail. Then there's the whole No Mercy campaign, which takes place before the events of Left 4 Dead at Mercy Hospital. It's been stated it's not a prequel, however.
** Also in the No Mercy level, if your escape route takes you through the basement, Bain declares you are LeftForDead.
** Also also, sometimes Bain's pre-heist briefing is interrupted by a certain bearded Vietnam vet getting on the elevator and striking up a conversation with Wolf ("Insurance salesmen, bunch of crooks if you ask me").
* When you answer the phone, Bain will sometime tell the person calling that there was a "weapons malfunction" just like Han from StarWars.
* Another achievement, for finishing a heist having killed a bulldozer and not having taken damage from any, is called [[Film/TheMatrix Dodge This!]]
* And Film/ABridgeTooFar for finishing "Green Bridge" on hard [[HarderThanHard or overkill difficulty.]]
* [[MalevolentMaskedMen The clown masks that the crew wear]] seem to be an homage to the beginning of ''Film/TheDarkKnight''.
* Later patches to the game have added additional mask sets [[NixonMask that depict]] [[PointBreak U.S. Presidents]] and reference various games (specifically ''ArmyOfTwo'', ''{{Homefront}}'', ''{{Metro 2033}}'', and ''DinoDDay'').
* A new achievement for finishing any heist using all [[{{DLC}} Technician equipment]] is called "[[InspectorGadget Detective Gadget]]", with a picture of Dallas wearing a tan trench coat and fedora.
* Wilson and Michell's houses are protected by [[HalfLife White Mesa]] Home Security Systems.
** If Alex successfully lands the limo on the roof on Undercover, he will say [[AceVentura ''Like a glove!'']]
** The "Cheney?" achievement is earned by killing a Bulldozer with a shotgun blast to his face, which is a nod to the infamous event where former vice president Dick Cheney wound up shooting his friend in the face by accident.

[[AC:PAYDAY 2]]
* WordOfGod has said that the Mastermind class is based around {{Robert DeNiro}}'s character from Film/{{Heat}}.
* The teaser for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1TBYaXWZy_U the sequel]] has one to ''Film/TheDarkKnight''.
* Putting a mask on for the first time unlocks the achievement [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises "No one Cared who I Was..."]]
* A supermarket named [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto Twenty Four Seven]] appears.
* Shooting a guard and answering his pager can cause the player to say [[StarWars "Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now."]]
* Racing through The Ukranian Job in 35 seconds unlocks "Let's do Th...", a reference to [[MemeticMutation Leeroy Jenkins]].
* Stopping the cops from reaching the bridge in Overpass Escape unlocks [[Film/LordOfTheRings "You Shall not Pass!"]]
