Little Things
I was watching Aliens last night, when I noticed that all of the lines the pilot of the dropship was saying sounded very familiar. So today I was browsing around IMDb, and found out why. All of the dropship piolt's regular lines in StarCraft are pulled directly from her. That got me to thinking about other things. The helments the marines wear, Sgt. Apone, and to some extent the look of the rifles in Aliens are all strikingly similar to their counterparts in HALO. In the movie, Sgt. Apone even says, "Get a move on marine. The Corps. ain't payin' us by the hour." This makes me want to look for other movie references in video games. I've only managed to come up with one so far, but cut me some slack, I'm at work: "It came from...behind!"-WarCraft III, an obvious reference to A New Hope
So, what I'm asking for is a little help. Let me know if you know any other references like those listed above (or any obscure references to other video games, books, TV shows, whatever) in video games. Thanks.

I think one from Duke Nukem 3D was a reference, I'm not sure. "It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of gum." Could be the other way around, though.
I found it: the movie is They Live, Roddy Piper says the line. Oddly, I've never seen the movie, only played the game and it still seemed like a reference.
Eww, Roddy Piper?

Just... wow.
Apparently his chatroom is insecure, so you can log in as anyone. Someone I know from the LAN party was on as the guy himself last night.
You want Hatchet and Revenge.
Just... wow.
