1----
2* At one point, Kilgrave tells a police officer "[[Film/ANewHope We can go about our business. Move along. Move along.]]" Jessica promptly lampshades his JediMindTrick by calling him "Obi-Wan Kenobi."
3* The first episode has Jessica threaten a scumbag with her "laser eyes." This is, of course, a reference to the original FlyingBrick, Superman, whose earliest incarnation had identical powers to Jessica.
4* While sleuthing in a hospital, Jessica tells a nurse that she has just transferred from [[Series/GreysAnatomy Seattle Grace Hospital,]] and now she is in the ER working for [[Series/{{ER}} Dr. Carter.]] Interestingly, the doctor she is talking to asks "like on TV?" when Jessica mentions Seattle Grace.
5* Ruben says that "[[Theatre/AvenueQ everyone's a little racist]]".
6* The dogs in "AKA You're a Winner" are named [[{{Franchise/Halloween}} Meyers]] and [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Krueger]].
7* At one point, Jessica tells Kilgrave, "You're not 10 anymore." David Tennant played the [[Series/DoctorWho Tenth Doctor.]]
8* In episode 2, Jessica is being interviewed in the police station by Detective Clemons, played by Clarke Peters. Jessica says she's going to Pennsylvania because of the antiques, to which Clemons says he likes them, too. Clarke Peters played Lester Freamon in ''Series/TheWire'', who built dollhouse furniture while on the job.
9* In the final episode, the yacht Kilgrave plans to escape on is named ''Goldfish''. Brian Michael Bendis, who wrote the comic the series is based on, also worked on a crime series called ''Goldfish'' early in his career.
10* Kilgrave mentions as an example of [[LiteralGenie unintended results from his commands]] the time he told a man to "go screw yourself". Jesse Custer did the exact same thing in ''{{ComicBook/Preacher}}'', albeit with less polite wording.
11* An in-universe example in the finale. When [[spoiler: "Jessica" is revealed to be Trish in disguise, Kilgrave annoyedly exclaims "Oh, for heaven's sake, It's Patsy!". "It's Patsy" was the name of the ShowWithinAShow Trish was in as a young teenager.]]
12* In "AKA I Want Your Cray Cray", part of the opening {{Oner}} of ''Film/TouchOfEvil'' is shown at the outdoor theatre that Jessica and Trish visit.
13* Jessica wears "rebel rock" t-shirts throughout the series, including Music/AliceInChains, Music/{{Interpol}} and Music/{{Nirvana}}.
