• When science teacher Bob Roberts (Dennis Hopper) returns from the 1960s, he's wearing the same costume that Hopper wore when he played Billy in Easy Rider (1969).

• In a scene where John Stockwell's character is under his car fixing it, Fisher Stevens says to him: "Ya know, I seen this movie where this haunted car flames guys out," referring to John Carpenter's Christine (1983) in which Stockwell had a major role.

• When the guys see the gladiator, he tells them "Morituri te salutamus" which is a Latin phrase meaning "Those who are about to die salute thee."
