Allusions and References

• Battle of Agincourt: Considered one the greatest victories in English military history, the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 saw the English under King Henry V decisively defeat a much larger French army, famously demonstrating the vulnerability of armored knights against longbow archers.

Dempsey: The crap has hit the fan at Agincourt, and Spikings V have need of thee and thy funny bow and arrow.

• Terence Donovan: Mostly celebrated for his 1960s fashion photography, Terence Donovan was an English photographer and director of commercials and music videos.

Kristy: Don't tell me you're Terence Donovan, 'cause he wears a whistle.

Quotes

• Spikings: Summarize it for us, sergeant. We wouldn't want our colonial brethren to feel left out.
  Dempsey: Colonial? We whipped your butts two hundred years ago. Sir.

• Dempsey: We got drugs here. We got rock'n'roll here. There's only one thing missing with us.

• Dempsey: Hey, why didn't I think of that? And I'm supposed to be the brains of this outfit.
  Makepeace: No, I'm the brains actually. You're the mouth.

• Dempsey: You know, Makepeace, you're a lousy cop and you're a worse driver.
  Makepeace: If there's any shortcoming in my ability to do my job, it's because I have to be shackled to you while I'm doing it.
  Dempsey: Shackled to me, huh? That's not a bad idea. Would that be day and night?
