- Homage to True Lies: The entire premise—a bumbling husband discovering his wife is a spy—is inverted (here, it’s a brother). The ballroom sequence mirrors James Cameron’s film.
- The Elephant Scene: A direct parody of over-the-top action movies where heroes survive impossible odds. Nobby hides inside an elephant’s vagina during a safari. This is a callback to crude anatomical humor in Borat.
- Scott Adkins’ Mole: The mole on Lukashov’s face changes position between shots intentionally, a meta-joke on continuity errors.
- "Fisherman’s Friend" Estate: A real brand of throat lozenges, but here it’s the name of the poverty-stricken housing project—a joke on English industrial decay.
