The all-female anti-poaching squad is most likely an homage to the Black Mambas of South Africa and the Akashinga of Zimbabwe.
When Archer says they are dug in like an Alabama tick, it is a reference to Predator (1987). He also makes reference to Dutch and Predator later on.
In several previous episodes, Maximum Overdrive (1986) is referenced. In this episode, where a machine actually becomes sentient, that movie isn't mentioned.
