Graphic Errors
#1 In Guybrush's dream LeChuck wears a blue coat, but in the rest of the game he wears a red one.
#2 When Guybrush picks up the bucket, one of the men of low-moral fiber tells you to leave it, but when he is talking to you, his shoulders are moving like when he was still sleeping.
#3 When Guybrush digs in the cemetery he's pants fall down and we can see that he wears short white underwear, but when he gets hit by the gardener's rake he wears long underwear with red hearts.
Sam and Max
#1 This time Sam & Max are costumes in the costume shop on Booty Island. Take a look at the picture, they are out to the right. When Guybrush looks at the costumes he says: "I want to buy the latest Steve Purcell comic" Steve Purcell is the creator of the Sam & Max comic.
Thanks to Jon who provided the screenshot!
Indiana Jones
#1 In the shop on Booty Island you can buy the original whip used in Indiana Jones and The Raiders of The Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, and in The Young Chronicles
#2 When Guybrush has blown a hole in the ground on Dinky Island, he falls onto a pillar. To get over to another pillar he uses a rope and a crowbar to swing across the cave, when he does that the theme from Indiana Jones is played.
#3 When you switch the books on governor Phatt's stomach, it is just like a scene from "Indiana Jones and The Raiders of The Lost Ark" where Indiana Jones switches a gold statue with a bag of dirt.
#4 When Guybrush steps out of the box in LeChuck's fortress he says "I hate snakes" You learn in "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of The Lost Ark" that Indiana Jones hates snakes.
#5 If you keep saying "Give me the map and I'll check the gas for you" to Rapp Scallion, he will eventually respond with "Check the gas and I'll throw you the whip" In "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of The Lost Ark" a helper says to Indiana Jones "Throw me the idol, I'll throw you the whip" Indiana Jones throws him the idol, but the helper doesn't throw the whip back.
#6 In the card catalog in the Phatt Island library, you can look under AB and find a book called "Archaeology - X never marks the spot" by I. Jones.
#7 Outside Rum Roger's house Guybrush places a telescope in the hand of a statue that leads a beam of light to shine on the correct brick to push. This is similar to the scene in "Raiders of the lost Ark" where Indiana Jones uses a staff with a crystal to lead a beam of light to show the exact place to dig.
#8 Phatt Island, Gambler's club. If you guess the password correctly for Bruno then you will be told that he doesn't recognise you. you can say "I was transferred here today, new orders". Indy says the same thing in the Last Crusade".
#9 The line "I'm selling these fine leather jackets" is originally from the game Indiana Jones and the last crusade, but has been used in almost every LucasArts games since then. To the guard at Elaine's carnival Guybrush can say "I'm selling this fine mouthwash" and to the gardener he can say "I'm selling these fine pink dresses".
#10 When you try to get the map piece from Elaine's mansion, you hear the gardener calling the dog "Guybrush". Then Guybrush says : "She named the dog Guybrush!?!?" This is a reference to Indiana Jones because he was named after his dog.
Loom
#1 At the beginning of MI2, when the credits are being shown, there are map pieces which appear in corners of the screen. The piece that appears in the bottom left has Loom swans on it.
Star Wars
#1 In the end of MI2 LeChuck says to Guybrush "I am your brother" Guybrush says "No! No, that's not true!" and LeChuck says "Search your feelings, you KNOW it to be true!" In "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" Darth Vader says to Luke Skywalker "I am your father" Luke replies with "No! No, that's not true!" and Darth Vader says "Search your feelings, you KNOW it to be true!"
#2 At the Bloody Lip when Guybrush shows the bar keeper his temporary library card, the barkeeper says something like "Pirate eh.. we don't serve yer kind here.... only joking" (if you put your occupation as a pirate on your card). In " Star Wars: A new hope", when Luke, Obi Wan, R2D2, and C3PO enter the bar, a bartender says "Hey, we don't serve their kind here!"
#3 If you say to Governor Phatt that his mansion must have cost a lot, he will then say that he made a deal to keep the bill collectors out forever - he's giving you to LeChuck. This is a reference to "Star Wars: The Empire strikes back", where Lando mentions that he has made a deal to keep the Empire out of Cloud City forever - he gives Han Solo, Leia, and Chewie to Darth Vader.
#4 When Guybrush leaves the governor's mansion, Elaine's dog starts barking at him and he says: "What's wrong boy? Smell something?" In "Star Wars: The empire strikes back" Luke Skywalker says "Hey, steady girl. Hey, what's the matter? You smell something?" on Hoth right before the Wampa appears.
#5 In the end of MI2 when LeChuck is lying on the floor, missing an arm and a leg, he says "Take my mask off..." In "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" Darth Vader is dying and he says to Luke Skywalker "Luke, help me take this mask off."

LucasArts Logo
#1 The LucasArts logo appear four times in MI2. There is one on a tombstone in Stan's previously owned coffins shop. Another logo is in Rum Roger's basement next to the bathtub. The third logo is on the wall in LeChuck's fortress. The last logo is on a picture in the Phatt Island library, it's to the right of the ladder behind the librarian.
Monkey Island 1
#1 When you squeeze LeChuck's beard with the elevator doors, the elevator goes up to the surface. When the doors open Guybrush is back in the alley on Melee Island. The street is blocked so he can't leave the alley.
#2 In the hard version, when Guybrush goes to charter a ship, Captain Dread informs him that he can't sail without his navigator head, which was stolen by some cannibals. In MI1 you get a navigator head from the cannibals.
#3 In the end of Monkey Island 2 you will find an old bumped grog machine in the underground tunnels. This is probably the same grog machine that was at Stan's previously owned vessels in Monkey Island 1. In MI1 it eats all your coins, in MI2 you get them back by pushing the machine.
#4 If you try and open the telescope Guybrush will say "This isn't Monkey Island 1" In Monkey Island 1 you can open Herman's spyglass and find a lens inside.
#5 When you are playing the wheel on Phatt Island, you can win either money, a vacation, or some circus tickets. The holidays are on Hook Island. Hook Island is small island off the coast of Melee Island in Monkey Island 1, where Meathook lives. The circus tickets are for the Fettucini Brothers' circus, which is located in the forest on Melee Island in Monkey Island 1.
#6 Keep looking at your money before Largo steals it. The ninth time Guybrush will say "No more part-time circus work for me". For a short time In Monkey Island 1 Guybrush worked in the Fettucini Brothers' circus.
#7 If you put down "pirate" as occupation when you get a library card at the library and then show the card to the bartender at the Bloody Lip, he will say "Pirate eh? You look more like a flooring inspector to me". The lookout says the same thing thing to Guybrush in Monkey Island 1.
#8 When Guybrush looks at the Giant Monkey Head in MI1, he says
"That is the second biggest monkey head I have ever seen !".
In Monkey Island 2, on Dinky Island, when he looks at the cross, he says "That
is the second biggest X I have ever seen".
#9 If you look at Kate Capsize she will say "What are YOU
looking at?"
In Monkey Island 1 you can look at the men of moral fiber and the mustached
man will say "What are YOU looking at ?"
The citizen says the same thing.
LucasArts Hints Line
#1 In the forest on Dinky Island you can find a telephone and call The LucasFilm
Games Hint Line.
You can ask different questions, but you don't really get an answer.
LucasFilm Games changed its name to LucasArts, but Chester (the hint line
operator) still says LucasFilm Games even though there's a LucasArts poster
behind her.
The phone number is 1-900-740-JEDI and it's actually the real number for LucasArts'
hint line and the word JEDI is, of course, a reference to the Star Wars movies.
Flinstones
#1 In the costume shop on Booty Island are many familiar costumes.
Under the staircase you can see Fred Flintstone's legs.
Abba
#1 At the start of the game, Guybrush says "Money, Money, Money" which is the title of a song by the group ABBA.
Blackbeard
#1 Near the "Wanted Guybrush" poster on Phatt Island is a poster saying that Reginald Blackbeard would like to spend all his free time at the Phatt Island library. In real life there was a vicious pirate named Edward Teach and his nickname was Blackbeard.
Box Art
#1 On the list of features it states there are an easy mode for beginners and magazine reviewers.
Prime Minister
#1 When you apply for a library card you can state 10 Downing Street as your address. That is the address of the British Prime Minister.
Disney
#1 When Guybrush is in the jail cell, he lures the dog with a bone to get
out.
This is a reference to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland, were
3 pirates are trying to lure a dog with a bone in order to get the key from
him.
#2 Guybrush finds an E ticket in the chest on Dinky Island. Disneyland uses (or used) a series of tickets for getting on rides, labeled A through E. It took an E ticket to get on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
Zippy the Pinhead
#1 If you look at the mask in the antique store on Booty Island, the storekeeper will say it looks like Spiffy the Pinhead. This is a reference to the comic strip "Zippy the Pinhead" drawn by Bill Griffith. Spiffy is the name of the dog in the Scumm Bar in Monkey Island 1.
