Shout Out / Black Panther (2018)

• In the 1992 Oakland prologue, James, Zuri's undercover persona, describes the Dora Milaje as "two Grace Jones-looking chicks".
• T'Challa's version of the Ancestral Plane, with panthers sitting in a tree watching our Protagonist, has uncomfortable similarities to a Dream Sequence in the 1982 remake of the film Cat People.
• When Shuri shows the self-materializing shoes to T'Challa, she remarks that it reminds her of an old movie their father used to watch a lot.
• When Okoye complains about her wig, Nakia tells her to not worry and to whip it back and forth, as the chorus of the Willow Smith song "Whip My Hair" instructs.
• Okoye scornfully describes guns as being "primitive", calling to mind Obi-Wan Kenobi's famous dismissal of blasters.
  "So uncivilized."
• When Ross wakes up, he asks Shuri if the place he's awoken in is Wakanda. She replies, "No, it's Kansas."
• Killmonger's primary outfit for a chunk of the film is a blue body armor with additional armor over his torso, which sports yellow shoulder straps, very much resembling Vegeta's from the Dragon Ball franchise. Additionally, Erik is technically a prince for much of the film; Vegeta famously boasts about his status as Prince of all Saiyans. Michael B. Jordan is a proud fan of the series.
• The final confrontation features a brief lull where T'Challa shouts that Erik will become the very thing he set out to destroy.
• While Klaue waits for Ross to arrive and interrogate him, he loudly sings Haddaway's "What Is Love."
