8* Marty graciously reminds zoogoers to "''[[Series/ThePriceIsRight never]]'' [[Series/ThePriceIsRight spay or neuter their pets]]."
9* The official poster is an obvious homage to the cover of the Music/{{Wings|Band}} album ''Music/BandOnTheRun''.
10* Gloria asks the penguins where the people on the boat have gone; Skipper tells her [[Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs "We killed them and ate their livers."]]
11* The National Geographic Channel theme plays when Alex goes feral and attacks Marty.

13* At least two of the penguins are named after characters of popular science fiction films:
14** Kowalski is named after Major Charles Kawalsky from ''Film/{{Stargate}}'' and ''Series/StargateSG1''.
15** Rico is named after John/Juan Rico from ''Franchise/StarshipTroopers''
16* Alex's DreamSequence about steak falling from the sky is a homage to the sequence from ''Film/AmericanBeauty'' where Lester fantasizes about a naked Angela surrounded by rose petals on his ceiling.

18!!The second film
19* Mort acting like a Film/{{gremlin|s}} on the plane's wing, and being initially identified as one, in a reference to ''[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS5E123NightmareAt20000Feet Nightmare at 20,000 Feet]]''.
20* Again to ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'', when [[spoiler:Skipper says he's so happy at the monkey he could kiss him. Monkey: "All right, but you're just so darned ''ugly''." and casually smooches him, to Skipper's surprise.]]
21* The extended version of 'Big and Chunky' contains an aping of the chorus to Music/{{Outkast}}'s 'The Way You Move'.
