• When Monkey jumps from Buddha's palm to the edge of the universe, audiences paying very close attention will catch a glimpse of a rabbit on the moon. This is a nod to the well-known legend of the moon Goddess Chang'e, and her bunny that lives with her on the moon.
• The Mayor's Wife character is an homage to Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle, specifically echoing the landlady with curlers.
• In the battle with Yama in Hell, Monkey dribbles Yama's hat like a soccer ball and says "Shaolin Soccer," an homage to Stephen Chow and his classic popular film of the same name.
