Episode title "Honky Tonk Women" is named after a song by The Rolling Stones
Thanks to Lim the Skit from the Unofficial Adult
Swim forum, I finally found out who "Poker Alice" is. Go here to view the info
yourself. It's a fitting reference for Faye's character, I think. :)
I've heard that the character of Faye is based on Faye Wong, a Chinese singer
and actress.
I get a James Bond vibe from the casino scenes. This may or may not be a
deliberate reference, but I think it is.
The casino is called "Spiders from Mars"; it’s a reference to the David
Bowie album, " The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars"
The deck the casino uses is from the anime "The Vision of Escaflowne".
If you notice any references that I missed, I would appreciate
it if you e-mail me.
