Continuity Nod / Captain America: The Winter Soldier

---

• Steve still has trouble controlling his momentum when chasing someone. This time, he's leaving dents in the walls with his shield.
• When Natasha makes a reference to WarGames, Steve quickly assures her that he understands the reference, referencing his "I understood that reference" joke from The Avengers.
• In a rare preemptive example, an episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. name-dropped the Triskelion well ahead of the movie's release. In addition, "Level Eight" access being a minor plot point was introduced in the first season.
• Agent Sitwell is seen on the Lemurian Star. Episode 16 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has him be called away to board the ship part-way through the episode.
• The Falcon's flight gear sports a Stark Industries logo.
• Peggy Carter and Howard Stark are shown to have been the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., as established in the Agent Carter one-shot.
• Pierce brings up Fury's association with Iron Man (Iron Man, Iron Man 2, The Avengers) while asking if Fury could get the hero to appear at his niece's birthday party.
• This HYDRA faction targets President Matthew Ellis, among many others, as part of Project INSIGHT. He's also given a quote in Cap's Smithsonian exhibit.
• It's mentioned that Tony Stark oversaw the creation of the repulsor engines on the new Helicarriers after getting a "close look" at the old version — referring to the incident where he got stuck in one of the turbines during Loki's attack on the Helicarrier during The Avengers.
• "Banner's condition" is brought up once.
• The newly rebuilt Stark Tower, now dubbed "Avengers Tower", is seen as one of the targets of Project Insight.
• The Stinger reveals that Baron von Strucker has Loki's scepter from The Avengers in his possession.
• The plasma cutter that Fury uses to escape from his ruined car into the sewer/metro has the same blue beam as the one used to access the plane buried in the ice in the previous movie. The episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that aired directly after the film's release revealed that they were invented by Fitz.
• Pierce mentions Natasha's mission in Budapest when pointing out that she's about to release all of her secrets too.
