* ActorAllusion: Ti Man eating snake liver is a reference to the 80s TV series Legend of The Condor Heroes, where Andy Lau gained recognition as a star by playing the main character Yang Guo, and did just that in the series. There's also Broomhead [[ThatRemindsMeOfASong suddenly singing in school]]. His actor Jackie Cheung was a well-known Cantopop singer at the time.
