There is conversation about collecting flags and feathers, which were collectible items in the first two Assassin's Creed games.
Hobo with a Shotgun Reference
The 80s movie, Hobo with a Shotgun, was an inspiration for this game's creative director, and is referenced by the Summon the Plague! mission title.
Mass Effect 2
Rex complains that "they spent 10 million credits to bring me back to life and this is what I am doing?"
Mortal Kombat
There are numerous references, including the mission objective (Round 1: Fight), and the words the Mystic Door shouts near the end of the game (Test your might!).
Predator References
If you ever saw the movie Predator, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers (among others), you witnessed one of cinema's most famous handshakes. You can witness it again here, in 16-bit form, during the first five minutes or so of play. There's another reference to the film, as well. During the chopper assault sequence, pay attention to the song that plays. It is Long Tall Sally, performed by Little Richard. You might recognize it from the moment in the movie when the commando team heads into the jungle.
RoboCop Reference
The pistol that Rex carries bears a striking resemblence to the weapon used by RoboCop in the old action movies. Its burst-fire function in particular shows that connection. There are other nods to the film, as well. The weapon's description notes that it "was built and named in honor of a fallen DPD cop who fell in the line of duty fighting the creeps of the Detroit megaslums and industrial wastelands." The weapon is called the A.J.M. 9, in reference to RoboCop's name: Alex J. Murphy.

Terminator 2 References
You will find the Galleria 1991 shotgun on your adventure, and that is a reference to the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day. In the film, there is a shootout in the Galleria mall, and the movie was originally released in 1991. Also, the Cyber-Eye ability takes on an appearance similar to the scan performed by the Terminator in the movie.
