Ellis de Vries (Carice van Houten) sings a song "Die fesche Lola", which has ben sung by Marlene Dietrich in Der Blaue Engel.

Ronnie tells Ellis that she's "A real Mata Hari. Greta Garbo in the flesh."

Comparable plot of a woman infiltrating a group of Nazis at great personal risk. Paul Verhoeven later acknowledged the (then unintentional) similarities between the two movies, stating he was probably subconsciously inspired by Notorious at the time.

François van Vliet shouts "Houdt het dan nooit op!?" just as Carice van Houten's character does in Zwartboek.
