The first achievement/trophy is "Welcome to the party, pal!".Rex will even mention it "looks familiar" at one point. One mission has you destroying nests of eggs with a flamethrower, followed by a battle with the mother while waiting for the elevator to arrive, mirroring scenes from the end of Aliens.One Bond One-Liner is "He was dead tired." Matrix in Commando said this of a guy he killed on a plane and propped up to look like he was napping.Matrix upon reaching the Big Bad's island. Also similiar to Commando is the scene after the opening helicopter battle where Rex loads up on equipment similarly to Col.Sloan's chainmail clothing is almost identical to Bennett's from Commando.Darling overseeing this whilst looking like Ludmilla only further cements the Shout-Out. Specifically Drago's training with high tech equipment. The obligatory training montage invokes the training scene from Rocky IV.Darling's look is strongly based off Ludmilla Drago. One of the rideable blood dragon's lines is " I must break you.".The music during the dragon-riding sequence at the end of the game is the "Final Fight" music from Rocky IV.This alludes to the famous Rocky IV trailer that ends with Rocky and Drago's clashing gloves.
The original animated announcement trailer ended with Sloan and Rex's robotic fists clashing.The crouch icon looks poised to travel back in time.The cyber-eye vision mode is nigh identical to the T-800.The intro song sounds very similar to The Terminator backing theme (especially the steel drum beat and anvil-esque clanging).The endoskeleton of the MKV (some can be seen laying around) looks exactly like a T800 Model 101's.The Fazertron is also similar to the Westinghouse M95A1 phased plasma rifle used in scenes from the future in Terminator 2, in fact being based off of the same real-world weapon ( Calico M950) the M95A1 was. The Galleria is even flip-cocked after firing like in the waterway chase. The Galleria 1991 note Double points for being named for a location from the film and the year of its release and Terror 4000 resemble the lever-action shotgun and minigun in Terminator 2.Rex is basically a blend of Kyle Reese note who was of course originally played by Rex's Ink-Suit Actor Michael Biehn and the titular killing machine, from the original Terminator.The entire sequence of Rex being made into a Cyber-Commando is nearly identical to a Terminator 2: Judgment Day trailer depicting a metal exoskeleton become Arnie.After completing any of the hostage rescue missions, shooting the freed scientist will cause " PROTECT THE INNOCENT" to flash in Rex's HUD.The fact that Rex can't attack Sloan due to his programming is also a call to Robocop's Directive 4.Also doubles as a shout out to The Karate Kid.The Kobracon comes from Robocop's Cobra Assault Cannon.Rex also twirls it around cowboy-style before holstering it like said character. note It's also the only weapon with an information text that is continuously reverent. note Double points for Alex James Murphy pistol is modeled on Robocop's "Auto 9" custom Beretta 93R, and even makes a direct reference to it in its description. When he uses the Killstar to burst through the entrance to Sloan's base he quips "Knock, knock" before the bloodshed begins.When Rex selects the Terror 4000 minigun he "chambers" a round by twisting the barrels similar to how Blaine does when he lets 'Ol Painless out of the bag.Sloan's facial mutations from Blood Dragon blood prompts Rex to call him "one ugly motherfucker".The sound effect for changing vision modes also sounds very similar to the SFX from the series.Rex even quips "I'm gonna have me some fun" when he gets behind the minigun. The scene even includes a extremely muscular, badass handshake, a somewhat homophobic joke told inside a cockpit bathed in red light, and Little Richard's rendition of Long Tall Sally playing in the background. The opening gunship shooting section is straight from Predator.
