**This wouldn't be the [[Film/ThePredator last time]] Creator/ShaneBlack was involved in a movie that would get criticized for tonal issues partially resulting from its troubled production. Even better given this movie shares the same director and lead actor with the first movie in that franchise.

*** The daydream sequence casting Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger as Theatre/{{Hamlet}} is lampooning the 1990 film production casting fellow action star Creator/MelGibson in the lead role.
*** The brief appearance by a "black and white digitization of Creator/HumphreyBogart" as one of the assigned police partners is sending up the uproar created the previous year when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI7b9tddVmc an ad for Diet Coke]] used CGI to turn Bogart, Creator/JamesCagney and Music/LouisArmstrong into posthumous pitchmen for a modern soft drink. That said, decades later projects like ''Film/RogueOne'' and ''Film/TheFlash2023'' would later reignite a similar controversy over the use of CGI to recreate deceased actors (Creator/PeterCushing as [[Film/ANewHope Grand Moff Tarkin]] in the former, and Creator/GeorgeReeves and Creator/ChristopherReeve as [[Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperman their]] [[Film/SupermanTheMovie respective]] [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Supermen]] and Creator/AdamWest as Series/{{Batman|1966}} in the latter).
