| 1 | * When Jake is called to Mud at one point, he's not pleased at being [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd summoned like a "mongrel pup"]]. To make it better, that quote is said in the source material by Creator/BillNighy, Jake's voice actor. |
| 2 | * While playing poker with Jake, Grace asks questions about him and quotes [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 another certain snake]] at one point. For bonus points, the quote is said in [[Film/TheJungleBook2016 the 2016 version of the Jungle Book]] by Creator/ScarlettJohansson, whom the author has chosen as Grace's potential voice actress. |
| 3 | --> "... [[{{Sssssnaketalk}} trusssssst]] in me." |
| 4 | * There are several instances of [[AsTheGoodBookSays quoting]] the ''Literature/{{Bible}}''; Grace recalls distinctly John 8:7 in Chapter 5, while [[WickedCultured Mon Hellsing]] quotes at different points Luke 10:19, Peter 2:4 and Micah 7:17. |
| 5 | * While angsting over the upcoming court with Dufayel, Rango mutters to himself quotations from ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}''. Later he quotes ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream''. |
| 6 | * A line in the 22nd chapter ("When ya look at me, what'd ya see?") is a deliberate reference to another ''Rango'' fanfic, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7348323/1/Awake-and-Alive Awake and Alive]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1246421/Grim-Piggles Grim Piggles]]. |
| 7 | * The final line and the {{epigraph}} song ([[Music/JohnnyCash "God's Gonna Cut You Down"]]) of the 32nd chapter are inspired by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72VifYB-aiA an animash trailer]] of ''Film/TrueGrit'' (the 2010 adaptation) featuring Rattlesnake Jake. |
| 8 | * Henry is a [[CompositeCharacter combination of two characters]] from ''Film/OnceUponATimeInTheWest''; he's a PsychoForHire like Frank and is [[YouKilledMyFather motivated by the desire to avenge his dead brother]] like [[spoiler:Harmonica]]. |
