Shout Out / The Avengers (1998)

• Blade Runner:
  • During the chess game between Steed and Mrs. Peel, they call out the same moves that J.F. Sebastian and Eldon Tyrell used in their game.
  • During Sir August's final battle with Steed he says "Time to die!", the line Leon spoke to Deckard.
• Alfred Hitchcock's North By Northwest. While Father and the fake Mrs. Peel are escaping by balloon, Sir August sends instructions by radio to head "north by northwest".
• While Steed and Mrs. Peel are in the escape pod, Steed says, "The owl and the pussycat went to sea," to which Mrs. Peel immediately replies, "in a beautiful pea-green boat", from the Edward Lear poem.
