* FountainOfExpies:
** Creator/ChristopherNolan has said that this film partially inspired his characterization of The Joker in ''Film/TheDarkKnight''. Mabuse's speeches about sowing chaos certainly could come from The Joker's mouth, and vice versa.
** Mabuse-Baum's Organisation with its grandiose schemes of a reign of crime and terror over entire countries, which involves targeting the monetary and banking system and involves weapons of mass destruction (poison gas) is also a worthy uncle to outfits like [[Franchise/JamesBond S.P.E.C.T.R.E.]] and so on.
* InferredHolocaust: Possibly. At the climax, Lohmann entirely fails to prevent Baum-Mabuse from setting fire to the chemical works, which according to Mabuse's notes would kill thousands of local residents with poisonous fumes. However, Baum and Lohmann both spend some time running around the burning works with no kind of protection, and experience no more than the odd coughing fit, suggesting that the fumes weren't that bad.
