After the fake Dredd kills the judge and his wife in their apartment, the camera then cuts to a street scene in which Hershey is calling in their location as "at the corner of Burns and Allen." This is a cinematic tip-of-the-hat to the legendary comedy team of George Burns and his wife Gracie Allen. In some versions, she is hard saying "Abbot and Costello" instead.

James Earl Jones provided the opening narration.
