Michael says he prefers to meet with Fiona's Libyan contacts rather than her Iranian ones; Marshall Manesh, the actor who plays Anwar, is in fact Iranian by birth.
When Barry and Sam are listing off one-name famous people, Sam (Bruce Campbell) mentions Spider-Man. Bruce Campbell had cameos in each of the Sam Raimi directed Spider Man movies as well as voices the tour guide in the Spider-Man video games.
Michael's Libyan contact is named Anwar, which is the last name of Gabrielle Anwar, the actress who plays Fiona Glenanne.
When Michael calls someone on a stolen phone he uses the alias 'Paco'. Paco is the name of a "shared" contact from Identity (2007).
