1* Possibly [[Film/DieAnotherDay Pierce and Brosnan]], [[LesCollaborateurs traitors for hire.]]
2* In episode 4 of the first season, Search and Destroy, Sam references Spock's line in [[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry Star Trek VI]] about logic being "the beginning of wisdom, not the end".
3* Popeye was referred to in "Free Ride".
4* To the novel and soon movie ''Lone Survivor'', with the episode in the 2/26/13 episode "Lokhay".
5* Steve [=McQueen=] and Marvel Comic references abound in "Parley".
6* When Kensi has to make her way out of a [[LaserHallway laser maze]], she briefly recreates a slightly more tasteful version of the famous shot of Gin's rear from ''Film/{{Entrapment}}''. [[UnresolvedSexualTension Deeks politely looks away.]]
7* In "Spiral", Deeks calls one of the masked terrorists "Bane" due to his muscular figure and hockey mask.
8* In "Three Hearts", Deeks describes their teamwork as "very TMNT" and says "[[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Callen and Sam are totes Leonardo and Raphael]]".
9* At the start of "Blame it on Rio", Deeks wear the yellow martial arts jumpsuit used by Bruce Lee in ''The Game of Death'', which promptly makes everyone tease him for cross-dressing as the Bride from ''Film/KillBill''.
10** There's a ton of pop culture references, probably because [[Series/{{NCIS}} DiNozzo]] is [[RequiredSpinoffCrossOver paying a visit]]: he makes a twofer reference to the Lost Boys ([[Literature/PeterPan fantasy]] and [[Film/TheLostBoys horror]] versions) and refers to the Los Angeles team as the ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers -- which is kind of odd for someone who disdains the "geekier" side of pop culture that his partner Mcgee prefers to the point where he had no idea who or [[Myth/NorseMythology what]] a dog called "Lockie" was named after. Rio mentions ''Series/KnightRider'' (he wants MagicPlasticSurgery to look like David Hasselhoff) and ''Series/TheATeam'' while one of his many aliases is [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Hiroshi Sato (or Saito)]].
11** There's also lengthy conversations about Renaissance Fairs, the UsefulNotes/SocietyForCreativeAnachronism, and the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom.
12** When discussing cosplay with Nell, Eric mentions Franchise/SailorMoon, [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Lilith]], [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-Li]], and even throws in a ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' reference.
13* "The Prince" has the criminal group ''Syndicate'' compared to the one from the Mission Impossible films.
14** Eric objects to Joelle's presence in Ops because "[[Film/DrStrangelove She'll see]] TheBigBoard."
15* In "Descent", Deeks is tortured by having [[TheToothHurts his teeth drilled]]. It's very much like the imfamous scene from ''Film/MarathonMan'', complete with the torturer asking him, "Is it safe?"
16* In "Decoy" (Season 11, Episode 2), Kensi mentions that the password to a computer is "[[Manga/{{Naruto}} Team8Naruto]]".
