      The line "They killed Fritz! They killed Fritz!" is a reference to Robert Crumb killing off Fritz the Cat in his underground comic book series. Ralph Bakshi directed the film adaptation of Fritz the Cat (1972). Bakshi is quoted as saying, "I named the character Fritz, in Wizards, just so I could scream 'They killed Fritz!' To kill such a cat, would make Don Marquis commit suicide."

Spoofs

    • Night of the Living Dead (1968)

      The scene with the crows advancing on the two pig cops, ready to tear them apart is a direct spoof of the scene in "Night of the Living Dead" where the zombies advance on Duane Jones' character, Ben (you can tell from the slowness of the crows' moving in this scene that they're supposed to be acting like zombies).
