History Trivia / JohnnyMnemonic

** The shot where the camera tracks back inside a train station to reveal Johnny surrounded by ''dozens'' of suffering plague victims is a very low-scale version of a similar shot from ''GoneWithTheWind''.

** In one scene, before Baldy attempts to execute Johnny, he says, "Time to die"--a reference to ''Film/BladeRunner''.

* GeniusBonus: A Japanese character viewable during our first glimpse of "Internet 2021" (found [[http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3368/3243330949_131ea8ce1e.jpg directly above the words "Internet 2021"]]) is a character very rarely seen in Japanese language[[hottip:*:It's not even in student dictionaries.]]. It's pronounced "tou" or "kasa", meaning "hackneyed, cliched" in English. Very likely [[BitingTheHandHumor one of the graphic artists having a chuckle at the expense of the paymaster]].

** In one scene, before Baldy attempts to execute Johnny, he says, "Time to die"--a reference to ''BladeRunner''.
** There's a brief glimpse of Humphrey Bogart on the television in the hotel room where Johnny uploads the data that gets in his head. Which, I guess, is a reference to Keanu's character ''sort of'' being like Bogart's Rick Blaine from ''{{Casablanca}}''. Mind, Rick Blaine is a callous character, remarking that he doesn’t “stick [his] neck out for anyone”, who, by the end of the film, rejoins the good fight against the Nazis.
