Some movie references in this episode: the hilarious scene when Jesse and Walter are whispering their plans while fake-shopping is a direct reference to a classic '40s noir film named "Double Indemnity," in which the two lead criminals do exactly the same thing in a store. (Because they are characters in a '40s noir movie, they just look way cooler while doing it.) When the homeless man addresses Pinkman as "Captain America," it is not (exactly) a reference to Marvel Comics. It's a reference to a classic hippie flick from the late '60s named "Easy Rider" (in which the main character likes to be referred to by that nickname), the most successful movie ever made about--- motorcycle riders. This episode's "Buffy" tie-in: the actor who plays the tobacco-chewin' owner of the junk lot, Tom Kiesche, played a vampire whom B quickly dispenses with ("My leg!") at the beginning of the season 5 send-off "The Gift."
