Freight Train tells Cleveland as they touch gloves right before their boxing match "I'm gonna bust you up." This is the exact line Clubber Lang says to Rocky Balboa before their climatic bout at the end of "Rocky III". Freight Train is also wearing the iconic red, white and blue American flag boxing shorts that both Apollo Creed and Rocky wore the "Rocky" films. Also, the film's theme song "Eye of the Tiger" plays on the radio while Donna trains Cleveland to box.
