References to "Battlestar Galactica"
Airplane II: The Sequel
- The music at the beginning of the movie is the "Battlestar Galactica" theme music.
- The theme music is played again during the shuttle launch.
- The pilot of the shuttle is Kent McCord, who played Boxey in "Galactica 1980."
"The A-Team"
- Dirk Benedict, who played Starbuck in "Battlestar Galactica," plays Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck in "The A-Team;" Face and Starbuck are very similar (handsome young officers, womanizers, humorous/rougish elements, etc).
- In one episode of "The A-Team," the A-Team attends a television convention. While there, a man in a Cylon Centurion suit walks past Face, who turns with a look of surprise on his face.
- In the second-through-fourth seasons of "The A-Team," the clip of the Cylon wlaking past fcae is played in the show's opening credits.
Space Mutiny
- The shots of the fleet in space are taken directly from "Battlestar Galactica."
- The ship's fighters are also called "Vipers."
- Space Mutiny's plot is also somewhat similar to that of "Battlestar Galactica:" a refugee fleet trying to find a new home, "mystical" elements, strange names for things, etc.
"Mystery Science Theater 3000"
- Space Mutiny was shown on "MST3K," and the DVD of the episode made note of the movie's use of "Battlestar Galactica."
References in "Battlestar Galactica"
Star Wars
- Many people noted the apparent similarities, aesthetic and plot-wise, between Star Wars and "Battlestar Galactica. George Lucas even (unsuccessfully) sued the makers of "Battlestar Galactica," ciitng forty-four speciifc counts of plagiarism.
Earthquake
- Scenes of the city being devastated by the earthquake were used to show the Cylon attack on Earth in "Galactica 1980."
Star Trek: The Next Generation
- For Richard Hatch's proposed movie sequel to "Battlestar Galactica" (Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming), many similarities were drawn between the new Cylons, and the Borg from "Star Trek: TNG."
