** Mjolnir slowly shuddering in the dirt before flying past Thor and [[WhamShot into Cap's hand]] is framed, timed, and shot almost identically to the climax of ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', where the exact same thing happens with Luke Skywalker's lightsaber between Rey and Kylo Ren.

** Nebula, after reaching through the energy shield guarding the Power Stone, melts the synthetic flesh off her right arm, which now bears an ''exact'' resemblance to the T-800's metal skeleton arm from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''. That scene is also similar to ''Film/IRobot'' where Sonny reaches into a forcefield to obtain the nanites needed to kill the BigBad.

** When Tony checks on Rocket's repair work leading up to the Time Heist, he calls him "[[Franchise/RatchetAndClank Ratchet]]", to which Rocket annoyingly replies "It's ''Rocket'', not Ratchet!". Both are small, fuzzy, gun-toting aliens with an itchy trigger finger. Naturally, Creator/InsomniacGames ran with it and put up a "Ratchet, not Rocket" shirt on their store.

Deleted line(s) 112,139 (click to see context) :
* ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'':
** To ''Film/IndependenceDay'', which given that it's an iconic movie from TheNineties, seems even more fitting:
*** The Grand Canyon chase has a similar feel to the one in the aforementioned film, since it takes place in the exact same spots, uses very similar shots and camera angles and pulls off all its maneuvers.
*** The shot of the deployment of Ronan's warheads on Earth is very similar to the one when the alien mothership deploys its city destroyers.
*** There is also the scene of Carol walking through the desert and dragging an alien behind her, which is a very similar situation that Will Smith's character faces in the aforementioned film.
** To ''Film/PulpFiction'':
*** When Fury and new guy Coulson, both clad in dark suits, get into a car to chase down Vers, it's shot similarly to Jules and Vincent Vega's driving scenes, with [[ActorAllusion Samuel L. Jackson in the driver's seat in both sequences]].
*** When Talos shows up at Maria's house, he's drinking a milkshake from a cup with the exact same design as the cups from Big Kahuna.
** To ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'':
*** Realizing she sticks out like a sore thumb in her Starforce outfit while she hunts down the Skrulls, Carol takes a page from Film/TheTerminator's book and steals a motorcycle and a set of clothes to blend in. Included in the outfit she stole was a Music/NineInchNails T-shirt, which she wears for half of the movie. (NIN in turn [[https://store.nin.com/collections/clothing/products/negative-space-frame-star-tee-white made a shirt featuring the heroine's star symbol]]... perhaps as a compromise for how the one in the movie [[https://twitter.com/rob_sheridan/status/1104300227798872064/photo/1 is clearly a bootleg]])
*** The extended deleted version of the scene above plays a more overt homage to ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', in which the biker guy that hits on Carol and tells her to smile, gets his hand squeezed by Carol and hands over his bike's keys in an identical way as in the aforementioned film.
** When she crashes into the Blockbuster video store, Carol, a former NASA[=/=]USAF test pilot who has been to space, picks up a copy of ''Film/TheRightStuff''. Pancho's Beer appears to be an expy of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Bottom_Riding_Club bar]] owned by pioneer aviatrix [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancho_Barnes Pancho Barnes]] in the same movie as a hangout for Air Force pilots.
** Instants earlier, she had blasted through the head of a cardboard cutout of ''Film/TrueLies''' Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger.
** One of the pieces of communication equipment that Carol salvages for parts is a Nintendo UsefulNotes/GameBoy.
** The train chase sequence is an extended one to ''Film/TheFrenchConnection''.
** During Talos's DueToTheDead moment, he whispers to his comrade's corpse that [[Film/TheForceAwakens he will finish what they started]]. Bonus point for Talos being portrayed by Creator/BenMendelsohn who [[Film/RogueOne previously]] had a ''Franchise/StarWars'' role.
** One of Carol's memories is her playing ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' at Pancho's Beer. It appears to be the ''Champion Edition'', since it shows Sagat vs. Dhalsim in the latter's stage. This is [[PresentDayPast in conflict with the timeline]] as ''Street Fighter II'' wasn't released until 1991, and her memories are from 1989.
** When Carol asks Fury for something that would identify him and prove he's not a Skrull, he offers his AOL password.
** Goose is named after Maverick's hot-shot co-pilot from ''Film/TopGun''. In the comics she was called [[Franchise/StarWars Chewie]].
** Yon-Rogg's [[TrickedOutGloves telekinetic gauntlets]] are shown to function in a similar fashion to that of [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 the Gravity Gun]].
** In the scene where Carol changes her uniform's colors, the first color combination she tries is [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} red and gold]].
** Upon learning that Talos is frightened by Goose's very appearance, Fury holds her up in front of him to scare Talos, just like how Rick O'Connell holds up a cat to scare Imhotep in ''Film/TheMummy1999''.
** Monica thinks her mom should help Carol instead of hanging back to watch ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir''.
** The words "I'm only human" are used in regards to a human surrounded by aliens. This might be a reference to the ill-fated ''Film/GreenLantern'', where Hal Jordan used the same expression to prove a point.
** The pinball machine that [[spoiler:one of the Skrull children has been mastering for the last six years]] is Creator/BallyMidway's ''Pinball/SpaceInvaders''.
** A Fonz-themed ''Series/HappyDays'' lunchbox makes for a very handy and safe container for [[spoiler:the Tesseract]].
** When [[spoiler:the Kree]] put a muzzle on Goose, Fury tells them that it's just a cat, not [[Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]].
** Carol catches one of the Kree missiles and detonates it in mid-air. All the other missiles stream into the explosion and are destroyed. It's a familiar sight to anyone who's played ''VideoGame/MissileCommand''.

* ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'':
** The scene at the beginning with an abandoned building with strange physics is highly reminiscent of the "Beyond" segment of ''Anime/TheAnimatrix'', especially the gravitational anomalies and oddly behaving bottles.
** When a Dark Elf ship crashes into the Asgardian throne room, it appears to be a shot-for-shot rendition of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdgmH9Vv2-I this cinematic trailer]] for ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic''.
** The Dark Elf fighters resemble the [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/B-wing_starfighter B-wings]], also from ''Star Wars''.
** Bor's helm looks a lot like a [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Balrog]]'s head and horns.
** Thor and Malekith sliding down London's Gherkin may be a ShoutOut to the climax of ''Film/AdventuresInBabysitting'', where a Thor-obsessed/costumed little girl gets stuck on the windows of the similarly-sloped Smurfit-Stone building in Chicago.
** When Fandral [[spoiler:covers Thor and Loki's escape, he swings from ship to ship on a rope, much like Creator/ErrolFlynn, who the character is based on, is famous for doing.]]
** Algrim, before his transformation, is a DarkSkinnedBlonde reminiscent of [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons an entirely different take on "dark elves"]].
** The scene where Loki is lying on his prison bed while tossing a goblet in the air and catching it is a reference to the movie ''Film/TheGreatEscape'', where Steve [=McQueen=]'s character is tossing a baseball in solitary.
** The scene where a flock of starlings is flying through a portal beneath Jane, Darcy and Selvig and startling them is a nod to Hitchcock's ''Film/TheBirds''.
* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'':
** As with the previous movie, Peter Quill is a font of references for music and shows from the '80s and before.
** He had described ''Series/KnightRider'' at length to Gamora (who didn't get all the details straight, though to be fair to her, Peter was apparently drunk when he explained it), and how it inspired him to pretend for other kids during his childhood that Creator/DavidHasselhoff was his father.
** When Yondu uses his [[EnhancedArchaicWeapon Yaka Arrow]] to slow down his descent by clinging to it with one arm, Peter compares him to Film/MaryPoppins.
--->'''Yondu:''' Is he cool?\\
'''Peter:''' ...[[MetaphoricallyTrue Hell yeah, he's cool]]!\\
'''Yondu:''' I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!
** When Peter discovers he's inherited Ego's matter-shifting powers, he excitedly says he's going to make a giant statue of VideoGame/PacMan with [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse Skeletor]] and Heather Locklear.
--->'''Peter:''' I'm gonna make some ''weird shit!''
** Peter compares the UnresolvedSexualTension between him and Gamora to Sam and Diane from ''Series/{{Cheers}}''. Then, he says that it's not, it's a show where [[AgentMulder one person is willing to listen]] [[AgentScully while the other refuses to believe in anything]], [[Series/TheXFiles but that show doesn't exist]]!
** Gamora using the BFG looks similar to ComicBook/IronMan's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZgYa4hLi1s&t=3m33s Proton Cannon special attack]] from ''VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroes'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom''.
** At one point, Peter calls Baby Groot an "angry little tree", as opposed to a "[[Series/TheJoyOfPainting happy little tree]]".
** When Nebula attacks Gamora with the starfighter, some of the shots are almost identical to the famous cropduster scene in ''Film/NorthByNorthwest'' which James Gunn confirmed was the influence for the scene in the DVD Commentary.
** Immediately after the bomb destroys Ego's brain and kills him, his human avatar freezes and appears to turn into sand, then disintegrates away, like what happened to the [[Film/ClashOfTheTitans2010 Greek Gods when they permanently die]].
** Evidently, the Guardians have [[Film/ANewHope a death sentence in twelve Kree sectors]].
** That last BeamSpam against the Sovereign ships, considering their arcade game themes, is hard to watch without remembering the [[Film/TheLastStarfighter Death Blossom]].
** During the credits scroll, a picture of Drax gets a beard scribbled on him, and then another picture further down shows Drax wearing what looks like a dark suit or blazer. [[Characters/{{Spectre}} Mr. Hinx]] from ''Film/{{Spectre}}'', also played by Creator/DaveBautista, has both those.
** Sylvester Stallone's character says the line "You betrayed the code!" the exact same way he said the line "You betrayed the law!" back when he was playing Film/JudgeDredd.
** Ego's story of how he went to Earth in the 1980s, fell in love with an Earth woman and impregnated her with a child whom he tells her will serve a mysterious and grand purpose is basically the plot of ''Film/{{Starman}}''.
** During the approach toward his planet, Ego's ship briefly resembles the "smiley-face" ship from ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal'', which is appropriate with the whole 80s pop-culture spirit of the ''Guardians'' films.
* ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'':
** Peter wears a "the physics are theoretical, but the fun is real" shirt, a piece of ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' merch.
** When Peter is racing through people's yards and jumping over hedges and fences, it's a direct parody of the climax to ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''. Not only is this lampshaded by a pool party that is playing the movie itself, but Spidey narrowly misses a trampoline. One DVD ad takes it all the way by playing the scene with the music from the original added.
** Michelle is in detention even though she doesn't need to be. She's just being weird and drawing pictures, much like Ally Sheedy's character in ''Film/TheBreakfastClub''. John Hughes' movies influenced this film, according to WordOfGod.
** The (alleged) Anti-Gravity Gun is named and shaped after the Gravity Gun from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''.
** Karen is the name of Plankton's computer wife in ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''.
** The scene where Betty Brant turns down Jason Ionello in front of cameras broadcast for the whole school complete with close-ups of reaction shots on the boy's face recalls [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E15ILoveLisa a famous episode]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', where you could almost pinpoint the second where his heart breaks.
** For Michael Keaton fans, a brief shot showing Vulture silhouetted against the moon, mirroring an iconic moment from the 1989 Batman movie. The upgraded Vulture suit also has wings that resemble bat wings from certain angle.
** Ned pestering Peter with fanboy questions recalls a similar sequence in ''Film/HotFuzz''.
** During the Midtown High news report of the Washington Monument incident, Seymour compares the explosion and sparks to a Music/BonJovi concert.
** The pre-titles scene introducing The Vulture and his gang prominently features "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" by Music/TheRollingStones, which also features in a similar sequence introducing the Hole in the Wall Gang during Creator/MartinScorsese's ''Film/{{Casino}}''.
* ''Film/ThorRagnarok'':
** The T-shirt Banner wears (one of Tony's that was left in the Quinjet) has a well-known Patrick Nagel image on it. Nagel was an incredibly popular artist during the 80s.
** While Thor's tied to a chair, he's presented with a holographic backstory of Sakaar, with "Pure Imagination" from ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'' playing at the background. At the end of the sequence, he's bathed in red light, screams, and suddenly finds himself in new circumstances, just like the end of the boat scene from that film.
** The ceiling artwork in Odin's throne-room displaying multiple scenes from Asgard's mythology is a clear {{Homage}} to the famous Art/SistineChapel murals depicting scenes from Christian scripture by {{Creator/Michelangelo}}.
** According to the commentary, Valkyrie's method of opening an alcohol bottle with a knife is an homage to ''Film/OnceWereWarriors'', where a character opens a beer bottle with a fish slicer.
** Parts of the prayer Thor prays for [[spoiler:Odin]] are taken from the movie ''Film/TheThirteenthWarrior''.
** Topaz's line "Tell her she's dreaming" when Valyrie demands $10 million for Thor is an allusion to ''Film/TheCastle''. "Tell him he's dreaming" is Darryl Kerrigan's stock phrase when advising his son Steve not to take up an offer in the classifieds.
* Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}:
** In the 1992 Oakland prologue, James, [[spoiler:Zuri's undercover persona]], describes the Dora Milaje as looking like Grace Jones.
** T'Challa's version of the Ancestral Plane, with panthers sitting in a tree watching our Protagonist, has uncomfortable similarities to a DreamSequence in the 1982 remake of the film ''Film/CatPeople''.
** When Shuri shows the self-materializing shoes to T'Challa, she remarks that it reminds her of [[Film/BackToTheFuturePartII an old movie]] their father used to watch a lot.
** Okoye scornfully describes guns as being "primitive", calling to mind [[Franchise/StarWars Obi-Wan Kenobi]]. "So uncivilized."
** When Ross wakes up, he asks Shuri where he is. She replies, "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz 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 ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise. [[spoiler:Additionally, Erik ''is'' technically a prince for much of the film. Vegeta famously boasts about his status as Prince of all Saiyans]]. Creator/MichaelBJordan is a [[JustForFun/OneOfUs proud fan]] of the series.
** The final confrontation features a brief lull where T'Challa shouts that Erik [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith 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."
* ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'':
** When Iron Man first goes up against Ebony Maw, he refers to him as "[[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Squidward]]". In the French version, he instead calls him "[[Franchise/HarryPotter Voldemort]]".
** In the commentary, the writers specifically say the shot of Maw's hand being burned by the housing of the Eye of Agamotto is a ShoutOut to ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.
** Iron Man and Spider-Man blast a hole in Ebony Maw's ship and he's hurled into space, a deliberate Shout-Out to ''Film/{{Alien}}'', where the titular alien is killed in the same manner. During the scuffle on Titan, when Spider-Man encounters Mantis, he freaks out because he thinks she's going to lay eggs in him à la facehugger.
** At one point during the Battle on Titan, Doctor Strange briefly takes on a multi-armed appearance reminiscent of the [[UsefulNotes/{{Hinduism}} Hindu god Vishnu's Vishvarupa form]] from the ''Literature/BhagavadGita'' to intimidate Thanos. Made all the more appropriate considering that Vishnu boasted that he was "time grown old" as he took on that form; Strange of course is the keeper of the time stone, which Thanos is after in that particular fight.
** Thanos is referred to as "[[UsefulNotes/McDonalds Grimace]]" by Peter Quill.
** During the Battle of Wakanda, Rocket's cries of [[BadassBoast "Get some!"]] while fighting the Outriders back-to-back with Bucky recalls the helicopter gunner from ''Film/FullMetalJacket''; Bucky even at one point grabs Rocket by the scruff and spins him around in a circle for a better shot -- [[VisualPun like a helicopter rotor]].
* ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'':
** The climactic CarChase through the streets of San Francisco can be seen as one to TropeCodifier ''Film/{{Bullitt}}'', especially Luis's SloMoBigAir jump. It does verge into AffectionateParody territory.
** The name of the Wombats' security company, X-CON, is an obvious play on the ''VideoGame/XCom'' video game series. Their logo even resembles the tile for the 2012 ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown'' expansion "Enemy Within".
** Hope used to play hide and seek in a wardrobe as a girl. As an adult, she uses the alias "Susan", which was the name of the girl in ''The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe'' who had long black hair.
** Toward the end, Cassie, Scott and Hope watch ''Film/{{Them}}'' (a movie about giant ants) on a portable computer, although reduced in one of Pym's cars to get the feel of an old-school drive-in.
** Early on there's a brief clip from ''Film/TheIncredibleShrinkingMan'' as well.
* ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'':
** To ''Film/IndependenceDay'', which given that it's an iconic movie from TheNineties, seems even more fitting:
*** The Grand Canyon chase has a similar feel to the one in the aforementioned film, since it takes place in the exact same spots, uses very similar shots and camera angles and pulls off all its maneuvers.
*** The shot of the deployment of Ronan's warheads on Earth is very similar to the one when the alien mothership deploys its city destroyers.
*** There is also the scene of Carol walking through the desert and dragging an alien behind her, which is a very similar situation that Will Smith's character faces in the aforementioned film.
** To ''Film/PulpFiction'':
*** When Fury and new guy Coulson, both clad in dark suits, get into a car to chase down Vers, it's shot similarly to Jules and Vincent Vega's driving scenes, with [[ActorAllusion Samuel L. Jackson in the driver's seat in both sequences]].
*** When Talos shows up at Maria's house, he's drinking a milkshake from a cup with the exact same design as the cups from Big Kahuna.
** To ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'':
*** Realizing she sticks out like a sore thumb in her Starforce outfit while she hunts down the Skrulls, Carol takes a page from Film/TheTerminator's book and steals a motorcycle and a set of clothes to blend in. Included in the outfit she stole was a Music/NineInchNails T-shirt, which she wears for half of the movie. (NIN in turn [[https://store.nin.com/collections/clothing/products/negative-space-frame-star-tee-white made a shirt featuring the heroine's star symbol]]... perhaps as a compromise for how the one in the movie [[https://twitter.com/rob_sheridan/status/1104300227798872064/photo/1 is clearly a bootleg]])
*** The extended deleted version of the scene above plays a more overt homage to ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', in which the biker guy that hits on Carol and tells her to smile, gets his hand squeezed by Carol and hands over his bike's keys in an identical way as in the aforementioned film.
** When she crashes into the Blockbuster video store, Carol, a former NASA[=/=]USAF test pilot who has been to space, picks up a copy of ''Film/TheRightStuff''. Pancho's Beer appears to be an expy of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Bottom_Riding_Club bar]] owned by pioneer aviatrix [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancho_Barnes Pancho Barnes]] in the same movie as a hangout for Air Force pilots.
** Instants earlier, she had blasted through the head of a cardboard cutout of ''Film/TrueLies''' Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger.
** One of the pieces of communication equipment that Carol salvages for parts is a Nintendo UsefulNotes/GameBoy.
** The train chase sequence is an extended one to ''Film/TheFrenchConnection''.
** During Talos's DueToTheDead moment, he whispers to his comrade's corpse that [[Film/TheForceAwakens he will finish what they started]]. Bonus point for Talos being portrayed by Creator/BenMendelsohn who [[Film/RogueOne previously]] had a ''Franchise/StarWars'' role.
** One of Carol's memories is her playing ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' at Pancho's Beer. It appears to be the ''Champion Edition'', since it shows Sagat vs. Dhalsim in the latter's stage. This is [[PresentDayPast in conflict with the timeline]] as ''Street Fighter II'' wasn't released until 1991, and her memories are from 1989.
** When Carol asks Fury for something that would identify him and prove he's not a Skrull, he offers his AOL password.
** Goose is named after Maverick's hot-shot co-pilot from ''Film/TopGun''. In the comics she was called [[Franchise/StarWars Chewie]].
** Yon-Rogg's [[TrickedOutGloves telekinetic gauntlets]] are shown to function in a similar fashion to that of [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 the Gravity Gun]].
** In the scene where Carol changes her uniform's colors, the first color combination she tries is [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} red and gold]].
** Upon learning that Talos is frightened by Goose's very appearance, Fury holds her up in front of him to scare Talos, just like how Rick O'Connell holds up a cat to scare Imhotep in ''Film/TheMummy1999''.
** Monica thinks her mom should help Carol instead of hanging back to watch ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir''.
** The words "I'm only human" are used in regards to a human surrounded by aliens. This might be a reference to the ill-fated ''Film/GreenLantern'', where Hal Jordan used the same expression to prove a point.
** The pinball machine that [[spoiler:one of the Skrull children has been mastering for the last six years]] is Creator/BallyMidway's ''Pinball/SpaceInvaders''.
** A Fonz-themed ''Series/HappyDays'' lunchbox makes for a very handy and safe container for [[spoiler:the Tesseract]].
** When [[spoiler:the Kree]] put a muzzle on Goose, Fury tells them that it's just a cat, not [[Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]].
** Carol catches one of the Kree missiles and detonates it in mid-air. All the other missiles stream into the explosion and are destroyed. It's a familiar sight to anyone who's played ''VideoGame/MissileCommand''.
* ''Film/AvengersEndgame'':
** [[TheNicknamer Tony]] cheekily compares Nebula to a "Blue Meanie" from Music/TheBeatles Animated Movie ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'' in his recorded will to Pepper. In the French version, he calls her [[Franchise/TheSmurfs the Smurfette]] instead. He also snarkily calls Thor (after five years of letting himself go and drinking like crazy) "[[Film/TheBigLebowski Lebowski]]" and refers to Rocket as "[[Franchise/RatchetAndClank Ratchet]]".
** When Bruce and Rocket visit Thor in New Asgard, the latter initially thinks that it's someone to fix the cable. In ''The Big Lebowski'' there's a scene in which the titular character, whom Thor now resembles, watches and discusses the intro of an adult movie where the male actor states that he's there to fix the cable.
** Also, Thor's roommates Miek and Korg are playing ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}''.
** The cast mentions multiple TimeTravel works while planning the Time Heist, including ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', ''Franchise/StarTrek'', ''Film/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure'', ''Film/TheTerminator'', ''Film/{{Timecop}}'', ''Literature/AWrinkleInTime'' (specifically the sequel books, but that's not mentioned), ''Film/SomewhereInTime'', ''Series/QuantumLeap'', ''Film/TimeBandits'', ''Film/HotTubTimeMachine'' and ''Film/DieHard'', only for Scott to remember that the last one isn't actually a time-travel movie.
** Rhodey warns Nebula about there may be traps in the vault housing the Orb/Power Stone. There weren't any (aside from the shield around the Orb), but the traps that he thought of are lifted from ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.
** Nebula, after reaching through the energy shield guarding the Power Stone, melts the synthetic flesh off her right arm, which now bears an ''exact'' resemblance to the T-800's metal skeleton arm from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''. That scene is also similar to ''Film/IRobot'' where Sonny reaches into a forcefield to obtain the nanites needed to kill the BigBad.
** Thanos's double-bladed sword, which can be hurled like a giant shuriken/buzzsaw through his enemies and then returns to his hand on command, resembles and functions almost ''exactly'' like the similar sword wielded by Tessai the rock-monster from the 1993 anime classic ''Anime/NinjaScroll.
** Heimdall's sword, Hofund, looks almost identical to the [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/elderscrolls/images/9/95/Oblivion_ElvenLongsword.png/revision/latest?cb=20120612181310 Elven Longsword or Elven Claymore]] from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion''.
* ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'':
** The scene at the beginning with an abandoned building with strange physics is highly reminiscent of the "Beyond" segment of ''Anime/TheAnimatrix'', especially the gravitational anomalies and oddly behaving bottles.
** When a Dark Elf ship crashes into the Asgardian throne room, it appears to be a shot-for-shot rendition of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdgmH9Vv2-I this cinematic trailer]] for ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic''.
** The Dark Elf fighters resemble the [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/B-wing_starfighter B-wings]], also from ''Star Wars''.
** Bor's helm looks a lot like a [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Balrog]]'s head and horns.
** Thor and Malekith sliding down London's Gherkin may be a ShoutOut to the climax of ''Film/AdventuresInBabysitting'', where a Thor-obsessed/costumed little girl gets stuck on the windows of the similarly-sloped Smurfit-Stone building in Chicago.
** When Fandral [[spoiler:covers Thor and Loki's escape, he swings from ship to ship on a rope, much like Creator/ErrolFlynn, who the character is based on, is famous for doing.]]
** Algrim, before his transformation, is a DarkSkinnedBlonde reminiscent of [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons an entirely different take on "dark elves"]].
** The scene where Loki is lying on his prison bed while tossing a goblet in the air and catching it is a reference to the movie ''Film/TheGreatEscape'', where Steve [=McQueen=]'s character is tossing a baseball in solitary.
** The scene where a flock of starlings is flying through a portal beneath Jane, Darcy and Selvig and startling them is a nod to Hitchcock's ''Film/TheBirds''.
* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'':
** As with the previous movie, Peter Quill is a font of references for music and shows from the '80s and before.
** He had described ''Series/KnightRider'' at length to Gamora (who didn't get all the details straight, though to be fair to her, Peter was apparently drunk when he explained it), and how it inspired him to pretend for other kids during his childhood that Creator/DavidHasselhoff was his father.
** When Yondu uses his [[EnhancedArchaicWeapon Yaka Arrow]] to slow down his descent by clinging to it with one arm, Peter compares him to Film/MaryPoppins.
--->'''Yondu:''' Is he cool?\\
'''Peter:''' ...[[MetaphoricallyTrue Hell yeah, he's cool]]!\\
'''Yondu:''' I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!
** When Peter discovers he's inherited Ego's matter-shifting powers, he excitedly says he's going to make a giant statue of VideoGame/PacMan with [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse Skeletor]] and Heather Locklear.
--->'''Peter:''' I'm gonna make some ''weird shit!''
** Peter compares the UnresolvedSexualTension between him and Gamora to Sam and Diane from ''Series/{{Cheers}}''. Then, he says that it's not, it's a show where [[AgentMulder one person is willing to listen]] [[AgentScully while the other refuses to believe in anything]], [[Series/TheXFiles but that show doesn't exist]]!
** Gamora using the BFG looks similar to ComicBook/IronMan's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZgYa4hLi1s&t=3m33s Proton Cannon special attack]] from ''VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroes'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom''.
** At one point, Peter calls Baby Groot an "angry little tree", as opposed to a "[[Series/TheJoyOfPainting happy little tree]]".
** When Nebula attacks Gamora with the starfighter, some of the shots are almost identical to the famous cropduster scene in ''Film/NorthByNorthwest'' which James Gunn confirmed was the influence for the scene in the DVD Commentary.
** Immediately after the bomb destroys Ego's brain and kills him, his human avatar freezes and appears to turn into sand, then disintegrates away, like what happened to the [[Film/ClashOfTheTitans2010 Greek Gods when they permanently die]].
** Evidently, the Guardians have [[Film/ANewHope a death sentence in twelve Kree sectors]].
** That last BeamSpam against the Sovereign ships, considering their arcade game themes, is hard to watch without remembering the [[Film/TheLastStarfighter Death Blossom]].
** During the credits scroll, a picture of Drax gets a beard scribbled on him, and then another picture further down shows Drax wearing what looks like a dark suit or blazer. [[Characters/{{Spectre}} Mr. Hinx]] from ''Film/{{Spectre}}'', also played by Creator/DaveBautista, has both those.
** Sylvester Stallone's character says the line "You betrayed the code!" the exact same way he said the line "You betrayed the law!" back when he was playing Film/JudgeDredd.
** Ego's story of how he went to Earth in the 1980s, fell in love with an Earth woman and impregnated her with a child whom he tells her will serve a mysterious and grand purpose is basically the plot of ''Film/{{Starman}}''.
** During the approach toward his planet, Ego's ship briefly resembles the "smiley-face" ship from ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal'', which is appropriate with the whole 80s pop-culture spirit of the ''Guardians'' films.
* ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'':
** Peter wears a "the physics are theoretical, but the fun is real" shirt, a piece of ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' merch.
** When Peter is racing through people's yards and jumping over hedges and fences, it's a direct parody of the climax to ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''. Not only is this lampshaded by a pool party that is playing the movie itself, but Spidey narrowly misses a trampoline. One DVD ad takes it all the way by playing the scene with the music from the original added.
** Michelle is in detention even though she doesn't need to be. She's just being weird and drawing pictures, much like Ally Sheedy's character in ''Film/TheBreakfastClub''. John Hughes' movies influenced this film, according to WordOfGod.
** The (alleged) Anti-Gravity Gun is named and shaped after the Gravity Gun from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''.
** Karen is the name of Plankton's computer wife in ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''.
** The scene where Betty Brant turns down Jason Ionello in front of cameras broadcast for the whole school complete with close-ups of reaction shots on the boy's face recalls [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E15ILoveLisa a famous episode]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', where you could almost pinpoint the second where his heart breaks.
** For Michael Keaton fans, a brief shot showing Vulture silhouetted against the moon, mirroring an iconic moment from the 1989 Batman movie. The upgraded Vulture suit also has wings that resemble bat wings from certain angle.
** Ned pestering Peter with fanboy questions recalls a similar sequence in ''Film/HotFuzz''.
** During the Midtown High news report of the Washington Monument incident, Seymour compares the explosion and sparks to a Music/BonJovi concert.
** The pre-titles scene introducing The Vulture and his gang prominently features "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" by Music/TheRollingStones, which also features in a similar sequence introducing the Hole in the Wall Gang during Creator/MartinScorsese's ''Film/{{Casino}}''.
* ''Film/ThorRagnarok'':
** The T-shirt Banner wears (one of Tony's that was left in the Quinjet) has a well-known Patrick Nagel image on it. Nagel was an incredibly popular artist during the 80s.
** While Thor's tied to a chair, he's presented with a holographic backstory of Sakaar, with "Pure Imagination" from ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'' playing at the background. At the end of the sequence, he's bathed in red light, screams, and suddenly finds himself in new circumstances, just like the end of the boat scene from that film.
** The ceiling artwork in Odin's throne-room displaying multiple scenes from Asgard's mythology is a clear {{Homage}} to the famous Art/SistineChapel murals depicting scenes from Christian scripture by {{Creator/Michelangelo}}.
** According to the commentary, Valkyrie's method of opening an alcohol bottle with a knife is an homage to ''Film/OnceWereWarriors'', where a character opens a beer bottle with a fish slicer.
** Parts of the prayer Thor prays for [[spoiler:Odin]] are taken from the movie ''Film/TheThirteenthWarrior''.

* Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}:
** In the 1992 Oakland prologue, James, [[spoiler:Zuri's undercover persona]], describes the Dora Milaje as looking like Grace Jones.
** T'Challa's version of the Ancestral Plane, with panthers sitting in a tree watching our Protagonist, has uncomfortable similarities to a DreamSequence in the 1982 remake of the film ''Film/CatPeople''.

** 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 ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise. [[spoiler:Additionally, Erik ''is'' technically a prince for much of the film. Vegeta famously boasts about his status as Prince of all Saiyans]]. Creator/MichaelBJordan is a [[JustForFun/OneOfUs proud fan]] of the series.
** The final confrontation features a brief lull where T'Challa shouts that Erik [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith 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."
* ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'':
** When Iron Man first goes up against Ebony Maw, he refers to him as "[[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Squidward]]". In the French version, he instead calls him "[[Franchise/HarryPotter Voldemort]]".

** Thanos is referred to as "[[UsefulNotes/McDonalds Grimace]]" by Peter Quill.
** During the Battle of Wakanda, Rocket's cries of [[BadassBoast "Get some!"]] while fighting the Outriders back-to-back with Bucky recalls the helicopter gunner from ''Film/FullMetalJacket''; Bucky even at one point grabs Rocket by the scruff and spins him around in a circle for a better shot -- [[VisualPun like a helicopter rotor]].
* ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'':
** The climactic CarChase through the streets of San Francisco can be seen as one to TropeCodifier ''Film/{{Bullitt}}'', especially Luis's SloMoBigAir jump. It does verge into AffectionateParody territory.

** The cast mentions multiple TimeTravel works while planning the Time Heist, including ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', ''Franchise/StarTrek'', ''Film/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure'', ''Film/TheTerminator'', ''Film/{{Timecop}}'', ''Literature/AWrinkleInTime'' (specifically the sequel books, but that's not mentioned), ''Film/SomewhereInTime'', ''Series/QuantumLeap'', ''Film/TimeBandits'', ''Film/HotTubTimeMachine'' and ''Film/DieHard'', only for Scott to remember that the last one isn't actually a time-travel movie.
** Rhodey warns Nebula about there may be traps in the vault housing the Orb/Power Stone. There weren't any (aside from the shield around the Orb), but the traps that he thought of are lifted from ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.
** Nebula, after reaching through the energy shield guarding the Power Stone, melts the synthetic flesh off her right arm, which now bears an ''exact'' resemblance to the T-800's metal skeleton arm from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''. That scene is also similar to ''Film/IRobot'' where Sonny reaches into a forcefield to obtain the nanites needed to kill the BigBad.
** Thanos's double-bladed sword, which can be hurled like a giant shuriken/buzzsaw through his enemies and then returns to his hand on command, resembles and functions almost ''exactly'' like the similar sword wielded by Tessai the rock-monster from the 1993 anime classic ''Anime/NinjaScroll.

** [[invoked]]WordOfGod says that Ovechkin, the Russian private seen in the flashback in "SNAFU", is a reference to hockey player Alexander Ovechkin. Interestingly enough, [[spoiler: with the knowledge that "Ivchenko" is actually an alias, Dr. Fennhoff may have intentionally chosen it as an anagram for the soldier's name.]]

* ''Film/{{Thor}}'':
** [[spoiler:The Destroyer]] walking through a wall of flames is one to the famous opening scene from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''.
*** He also bears a strong resemblance to Gort from ''Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill'', another tall, silver automaton who shoots a heat beam from his head.
** One to the original comics, when a billboard says "Journey into Mystery."
** The S.H.I.E.L.D. vs Destroyer scene has a shout out to Iron Man, though given the shared continuity, it counts as a ContinuityNod.
** "Uh, base... we've got a [[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess Xena]], Creator/JackieChan, and Myth/RobinHood."
** When people are trying to pull out Mjölnir from the boulder, it is reminiscent of Excalibur from Arthurian Romance.

* ''Series/AgentCarter'':
** The ‘long-distance’ typewriter Green Suit uses to report to and receive orders from his superior is similar to the typewriter Fauxlivia used in ''Series/{{Fringe}}'' to report to and receive orders from her superior in the other dimension.
** Angie performs a brief monologue from ''Theatre/ADollsHouse'' in "A Sin To Err". Dooley also name drops ''Film/{{King Kong|1933}}''.
