In the scene where Potato Head is driving the toy car down the aisles of the Toy Barn (after Buzz and the gang split up) and Rex suddenly places the Buzz Lightyear strategy guide in front of his face, if you pause you can see the price for the guide: $15.00 U.S., $50.00 CAN. A little joke on the money exchange between the two countries.
At the beginning of the film, when Buzz is battling his way into Zurg's fortress, he has to jump onto several floating discs to get to the (battery) power source. He jumps onto five discs before they collapse under him; each plays a note, the first five notes of the theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey".
Various movie references. The line from Empire Strikes Back - "I am your father". Also, the automobile three-point turn when the toys are in Al's Toy Barn, coming from Austin Powers. Not to mention the Jurassic Park shot of a T-Rex chasing a car viewed from the side mirror. A tribute to Mission Impossible when the slinky dog reaches in to try to open the case containing Woody. The opening seemed like a tribute to Starship Troopers - voyage, landing, survey, and sudden surrounding by aliens. The eye-on-a-stalk that followed soon after resembled the scene at the entrance of Jabba the Hutt's palace. Stinky Pete says a very familiar line - "Turn me around, so I can see", said by C3PO when he's in bits on Chewie's back. Yet another Star Wars tribute, the aliens tell Buzz to use the staff of power, referring to the gear shaft, much like "Use The Force, Luke." Buzz's breathing in his suit at the beginning in like Darth Vader. When they are about to cross the street the slinky dog says "I'm not a smart dog, but I know what Roadkill is" which is from Forrest Gump when he says "I'm not a smart man but I know what love is". The eye on the stalk before Buzz goes into Zurg's base is a reference to HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Mr. Potato Head throwing his hat like Odd Job from Goldfinger. The Prospector being scared by flashbulbs was from the Hitchcock film Rear Window. Doesn't the feather falling in front of Buzz when he falls off the back of the car kidnapping Woody bring to mind "Forest Gump"?
