The fictional connecting scenes contain a number of subtle references to classic 80s movies:
- The opening sequence in the club heavily resembles the "Guns N' Roses: You Could Be Mine (1991)" music video by Guns N' Roses, itself a soundtrack for Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).
- The postman's bag contains a copy of the Grays Sports Almanac from Back to the Future Part II (1989)
- The computer screen visible right before the first interview clip contains output from Tron (1982).
Gábor Stöckert notes that without computer magazines, "a whole generation never would have found out how to fly out of the hangar in Raid Over Moscow". This was indeed a notorious issue with the aforementioned game: the player was required to press F7 to open the hangar door to be able to leave the hangar and start the actual dogfight gameplay. Pressing keys, unprompted, at the time was unusual for mainly joystick-controlled games, and the game itself never let the player know - it was only mentioned in the actual manual, which players with copied versions didn't have.
János Almási (a.k.a. HIC / Quality) has passed away in a car accident shortly after the film's premiere. The film is dedicated to his memory.
The handheld device Agent 4125 uses to teleport in the opening sequence is actually a Commodore 796M calculator from 1976.
