The trailer of Total War: Warhammer II for the Warlock and the Prophet DLC, which adds Ikit Claw, Tehenhauin and their factions along with a lot of new Skaven and Lizardmen units, starts with a sequence that copies almost perfectly the scene where Blain is killed and the full team shoots blindly at the jungle, as can be seen here.

JonTron: In "Dr. Ho: License to Practice", Jon tried comparing Dr. Ho's medical methods to removing a spine like Sub-Zero. His friend corrects him that it was the Predator. Jon was talking about Mortal Kombat and wished Predator would be in an MK game. As of Mortal Kombat X, Jon's wish was granted.
