In keeping with the era in which the film is set, the action is inspired by many 1990s action movies. For example, Vers sparring with Yon-Rogg and meeting the Supreme Intelligence inside a giant simulation evokes scenes from The Matrix (1999); the scene where Vers is just able to board a moving train is reminiscent of the finale of Speed (1994), while the dogfight in the canyon at the end is an almost shot-for-shot homage to a similar scene in Independence Day (1996).
-
Some have interpreted Talos drinking the milkshake as a nod to Pulp Fiction (1994), but it's actually a reference to Reservoir Dogs (1992).

Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Clark Gregg (Phil Coulson) were digitally de-aged in order for their characters to look like their younger selves, since the movie is set in 1995. This was the first time Marvel did de-aging of characters for an entire movie. They previously used this tactic in Ant-Man (2015), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), and Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018), but only for flashback scenes.

-
Vers is chastised for using her pulse blast during a martial arts fight, and while it seems perfectly reasonable to help teach someone how to control their power and to know when to use it, it's meant as a negative here when Yon-Rogg does it. It's a complicated idea - the big reveal later on shows that the Kree are trying to limit her meaning this attempt at control is a bad thing, but the idea in general remains a responsible one that we teach to our kids every day.
-
The Skrull makeup took two hours to apply.
-
Fury mentions that he likes to operate in locations that start with the letter "B" because he can make them rhyme. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Alexander Pierce talks about a rescue mission that Fury initiated, against orders, in Bogotá.
-
This second film in the MCU to have Pulp Fiction references since Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014). In this film, there's a shot of Phil Coulson and Nick Fury in the car which is the same shot of John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson, the cup Talos sips on is a reference to Pulp Fiction (1994) when Jackson's character, Jules Winfield, borrows a cup to wash down the burger. And the opening of the glowing lunchbox references the briefcase. In CA:TWS, on Nick Fury's tombstone, there's a scripture that says, "The path of the righteous man Ezekiel 25:17" which Winfield recited in Pulp Fiction.

Monica chides her mother for not wanting to fly a suicide mission against a technically more advanced alien force, asking if she'd prefer to stay home and watch The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990). The title character of Fresh Prince is played by Will Smith who, as Captain Hiller in Independence Day (1996), would fly a suicide mission against a technically advanced alien force. Once Monica helps Carol to redesign her uniform, she describes Carol's new look as "Fresh." Independence Day also starred Jeff Goldblum, Who appears as the Grand Master in Thor Ragnarok.
