• In one scene, Rango lands on the windshield of a car, the passengers of which strongly resemble the characters from the film "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (1998), starring Johnny Depp. It is also noteworthy that the cartoon takes place in the Mojave Desert, where Las Vegas is located.
• The situation with the forced sale of the heroine Bob's land is a reference to the film "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1968).
• Many moments in the film, such as Rango's stories about his exploits and the duel scene, allude to Sam Raimi's "The Quick and the Dead" (1995).
• The insects with armored shells that carry Rango and his hat are a reference to "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" (2007), which also starred Johnny Depp.
• The dream in which Rango sees a toy fish floating through the desert is a reference to "Arizona Dream" (1993), which also starred Johnny Depp.
• In the moment where Rango meets the Spirit of the West with his gold-eyed guards on an alabaster carriage, he says to him: “Weren’t you also a man with no name?”.
