This is a list of pop culture references in the Halo series.
Star Wars
- When the Flood is about to appear in Halo: Combat Evolved, a marine says "I have a bad feeling about this."
- The scene in Halo: CE where the Halo can be seen, and then it zooms out to show the Pillar of Autumn looks allot like the opening scene of each Star Wars episode.
Aliens
- Main article: List of References to Aliens in Halo
- Jonesy is a cat loose on the Pillar of Autumn, named in homage to an Aliens cat.
- There are numerous similarities between the Flood and the Xenomorphs.
Green Day
- "Sometimes I give myself the creeps," a lyric from a Green Day song, is in a Halo: Combat Evolved easter egg.
Firefly/Serenity
- There are at least two references to Firefly in Halo 3 in the form of random Marine quotes: "Say 'hi' to Vera!" and "Gee, it'd be nice if we brought some grenades, wouldn't it?!" Both are quotes from the character Jayne Cobb; both are said by marines voiced by Adam Baldwin, who played Jayne Cobb in both Firefly and Serenity.
Prince of Persia
- In the axon shipwrecked.ogg, Kamal Zaman says "People think time is a river that flows in one direction, but time is an ocean." This is a reference to "Some say time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction, but I have seen the face of time and I can tell you they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm." said by the Prince in Prince of Persia. Both characters are voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.
Predator
- The four mandible mouths of Sangheilis are similar to those of the Predator.
- The cloaking device of the Predator is similar to active camouflage.
