* At one time in the second case, Wocky kinda misquotes Music/NeilYoung when he says, "Better to die young than fade away, bizzzoy!"

--->'''Apollo''': ''[internal monologue]'' (Who was it that taught me never to pull punches in cross-examination? It was you, Mr. Gavin! [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_learned_it_by_watching_you! I learned it from watching you!]])

References to other media in ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney''.
----
* In Apollo's first case, Winston Payne clarifies what the poker chips are thusly:
-->'''Payne''': Poker chips are poker chips. They're not fish and chips, not a chip off the old block, not [[Series/CHiPs a motorcycle cop]]...
* At least two ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' references:
-->'''Zak''': In his last years, Magnifi worked us to the bone... No. ToThePain.\\
'''Klavier''': "Logical"? [[YouKeepUsingThatWord I do not think this word means what you think it means]], Herr Forehead!
* Also, Apollo has this little exchange:
-->'''Trucy''': Maybe they're trying to trick kids into thinking the police are some kind of band.\\
'''Apollo''': But that's just silly. [[TakeThat Who'd name a band]] [[Music/ThePolice the "police"?]]
** There's a reference to the Police song "Roxanne" in the same room: when you examine a red siren Apollo tells Trucy not to put on the red light.
* Gavin's song ''Atroquinine, My Love'' might be a reference to the Jethro Tull song ''Aqualung'' (which includes the line "Aqualung, my friend" quite a few times).
* '''Apollo''': ([[Music/DireStraits I should have learned to play the guitar.]])
* Klavier's phrase, "Achtung, baby!" is most likely reference to {{Music/U2}}'s hit album in the 90's, "Music/AchtungBaby".
* Also a mention of the [[Franchise/PerryMason MASON System]].
* "How about flowers made of metal?" "What, like [[Film/SteelMagnolias a magnolia made of steel]]?"
* In the case where you encounter Valant for the first time he goes to you before entering court for the last time, Apollo thinks to himself: "Valant Gramarye! (Using the door like an average [[Literature/HarryPotter muggle]], no less.)"
* '''Judge''': "With a great accusation [[ComicBook/SpiderMan comes great responsibility]]!"
* Capcom also does a shout-out to its ''less''-known survival horror series, ''VideoGame/DinoCrisis''. The first [=DC=] game took place on Ibis Island in "The Republic of Borginia." Two key characters in ''Apollo Justice'' are from the Borginian Republic, suggesting a very bizarre intercontinuity canon.
* Case 4:
-->'''Judge''': I do hope this latest accusation is well-based.\\
'''Phoenix''': (...Don't worry, [[VideoGame/ZeroWing I've got all your bases]] right here.)
* Trucy's dummy is named [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Mr. Hat]].
* The following exchange:
-->'''Trucy''': My panties are BiggerOnTheInside!\\
'''Apollo''': (Hm, that reminds me of that [[Series/DoctorWho TV show I used to watch...]])
* Klavier clinches his status as an {{Expy}} of [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante]] with this line.
-->'''Klavier''': Not so fast. This party's just getting started!
* '''Klavier''': I play new rock, not [[Music/JerryLeeLewis Great Balls of Fire]]!
* '''Apollo''': ([[Literature/AliceInWonderland Curiouser and curiouser...]])
* Klavier gets two shout-outs in a row in this exchange in the fourth trial. Phoenix even lampshades it.
-->'''Klavier''': ...The victim was already climbing a three-month [[Music/LedZeppelin stairway to heaven]]. ...Why not wait for him to [[Music/BobDylan knock-knock-knock on heaven's door]]? Why shoot him?
-->'''Phoenix''': (I wouldn't have put it quite so lyrically, but it's true.)
* Apollo shows some theatre prowess by referencing Theatre/OedipusTheKing when you examine the back of the brooch found on the floor of Lamiroir's dressing room:
-->'''Apollo''': A sort of pin-fastener for attaching things to clothes. Not a safety pin-type, though.\\
'''Trucy''': So if it's not a safety pin...\\
'''Trucy''': ... is it a danger pin!?\\
'''Apollo''': I suppose if you stuck it in your eye, then yeah, sure. [[note]] For those who don't get it, using his mother's brooch pin, Oedipus stabbed himself in the eyes and made himself blind. It becomes HilariousInHindsight later when you realise the full truth of the brooch's owner [[/note]]
* If you examine the number on the back of your attorney's badge, Apollo will remark [[Film/FullMetalJacket "There are many numbers like it, but this one is mine".]]
* Apollo says [[Film/ArmyOfDarkness "Well hello, Ms. Fancy Pants!"]] during one of the ladder/stepladder debates with Trucy.
* When Ema explains how to use the fingerprinting powder by dusting it on and blowing the rest away, she says: "It's like whistling. [[Creator/LaurenBacall You know how to whistle, don't you?]] [[Film/ToHaveAndHaveNot Just put your lips together..."]]
* In keeping with the third case's musical references Apollo and Klavier have this exchange: [[Music/JohnLennon "Klavier: Nobody told me about days like these. Apollo: strange days, indeed"]] only thing missing was someone chiming in with a ''"most peculiar, mama"''.
* Zak and Valant's Quick-Draw Shoot'em trick may be a subtle reference to the infamous bullet trick, [[spoiler: a magic trick known for being dangerous and even killing a few magicians who'd attempted it.]]
* In response to one of Apollo's more off-the-wall theories:
-->'''Klavier''': Now you've done it. [[Film/{{Spaceballs}} You've gone beyond ridiculous and into... ludicrous.]]
* Guy Eldoon has a noodle-bowl-shaped hat with a built-in wig with hairs the shapes and colors of noodles and dark eyebrows. The colors of noodles are close to blond. Ken Masters from Franchise/StreetFighter has bleached blond hair and dark eyebrows. Also, Guy Eldoon shares his first name with Guy from VideoGame/FinalFight, which is part of the same universe as Street Fighter.
