* A GeniusBonus for anyone who's read the original ''Literature/Dracula'', Alucard's return to London on a ghost ship is very reminiscent of how Dracula originally arrived in England, with him being trapped on a ship at sea by the captain of the ship's dedication to preventing him from being able to arrive after the Count drove all his crewmen to insanity and killed them, with Hellsing's mirror of the captain being Rip Van Winkle.

* Walter states that there is only 1 SR-71 Blackbird in the world. In reality, there were 32 build (of which 20 survive, with 12 lost due to poor maintenance and pilot error). At first, this seems to be an instance of DanBrowned. However, fridge brilliance kicks in because there is only one ''British'' Sr-71 Blackbird- [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blackbird_Sr71.jpg the one given to the Imperial War Museum]].
