2	----
3	* The Soldier levels borrow heavily in terms of tone and story from ''Film/ApocalypseNow,'' right down to [[spoiler: a commanding officer who goes insane and starts ranting about how HumansAreTheRealMonsters.]]
4	* [[VideoGame/NuclearThrone Fish, Eyes, Crystal, Melting and Y.V]] all show up as cardboard cutouts in the 2nd Scene, Homicide. The achievement for shooting all of them has the description "They won't reach the Nuclear Throne" which is a nod to Nuclear Throne's GameOver screen. [[spoiler:Their presence can be arguably seen as an unusual form of {{Foreshadowing}} to the game's ending.]]
5	* Speaking of which, one of the game's synth tracks is titled "[[Film/TheTerminator Technoir]]". The connection is much more blatant on the soundtrack, where this track begins with Sarah Connor's phone call from the club.
6	* In one level, you can see some ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' toys in Evan's son's room.
7	* The Son's CoolCar is almost identical to the one from ''Film/SmokeyAndTheBandit.''
8	* One level is titled ''Film/FirstBlood''.
9	* Another level is titled ''Film/DeathWish''.
10	* Giving the fictionalized version of Jacket a pig mask evokes ''Film/MotelHell'' (and by extension ''VideoGame/{{Manhunt}}'').
11	* Martin's police station rampage in Scene 4: The Final Cut is quite reminiscent of the police station shootout where the T-800 goes after Sarah Connor from the original ''[[Film/TheTerminator Terminator]]''.
12	* [[spoiler: Martin's]] death is eerily similar to Brandon Lee's accidental death on the set of ''Film/TheCrow1994''.
13	* Manny having a psychotic break while holding a .44 magnum is weirdly reminiscent of Travis Bickle from ''Film/TaxiDriver''. As are a lot of things in the game, oddly enough.
14	* [[spoiler:Manny Pardo]] as the Miami Mutilator shares some similarities to Series/{{Dexter}} being the Bay Harbor Butcher. The main difference, however, being that [[spoiler:Pardo]] kills for attention while Dexter is a vigilante.
15	* The song "Ghost" is a remix of Akira Yamaoka's "Tears of..." which was featured in ''Franchise/SilentHill''.
16	* Among the arcade cabinets in the game [[https://twitter.com/RussiaBleeds/status/576755975782301696 is one for]] ''VideoGame/MotherRussiaBleeds''. Also counts as EarlyBirdCameo, as ''Mother Russia Bleeds'' would not be released until September 2016.
