Mentioned.
Citizen Kane (1941)
The film's loose depiction of L. Ron Hubbard is reminiscent of Citizen Kane's depiction of William Randolph Hearst.Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
When Freddie is far in the distance in the desert (on the motorcycle), the shot is similar to the famous "mirage" sequence.- The shot of Lancaster riding his motorcycle and going "Ya-hoo!" mirrors the final shot of "Strangelove" where Major Kong rides the bomb.
Barry Lyndon (1975)
The final scene between Freddie, Lancaster, and Peggy is blocked and photographed very similarly to the scene wherein Captain Potzdorf tells Barry to spy on the Chevalier de Balibari.Melvin and Howard (1980)
Dodd and Freddie riding the motorcycle is a reference to Hughes riding in the desert.
