Trivia

Damien Darhk refers to the world going "Dr. Strangelove", referencing the 1964 film which ends with the world entering a nuclear apocalypse.

Felicity states to Curtis and Noah that the world will have a "sequel" to war games if they don't hack Rubikon and stop nuclear disaster. This is a reference to 1983 film "WarGames" where the young hacker David Lightman tries to stop supercomputer WOPR to launch a nuclear missiles. Curtis also mentions it's sequel "WarGames: The Dead Code" from 2008 which was released on DVD and, in contrast to original, got panned from critics.

When Oliver and John enter the underground bunker Genesis, John compared this to Mount Weather, a governmental facility which was built by FEMA during the Cold War.

During the hack battle for Rubikon, Felicity's former boyfriend and a member of HIVE Cooper Seldon taunts to her with a line "We are going to once more in the breach". That line is from "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" where Curtis recognises this reference.
