This entire episode pays heavy tribute to Quentin Tarantino's films, in particular "Reservoir Dogs." Not only does the title of the episode share a name with a song from a pivotal scene from the Tarantino film, but the episode contains many parallel choices in setting, lines of dialogue, plot devices, and artistic composition. In addition to its content, the artistic and musical choices in this episode pay tribute to Reservoir Dogs and other Tarantino films. A few examples of these choices are: the slow panorama shots of the major characters in the coffee shop; the use of black title screens; the non-linear sequence of events and replaying of some scenes from different perspectives; the use of classic 1950s and 1960s music; and a box with unknown yellow shining content.
The second episode directed by Richard Speight Jr. (Gabriel/The Trickster).
The title of this episode is the name of a song by Stealers Wheel that appears in the Quentin Tarantino movie Reservoir Dogs. Some scenes are seemingly an homage to Tarantinos style of film making. Especially the slow motion walk by some of the characters.
Both Misha Collins and Richard Speight Jr. live tweeted this episode while it was being aired to fans on the West Coast.
Dean's line, "Ok ramblers, let's get rambling" is a quote from Lawrence Tierney's character, Joe, from Reservoir Dogs. George Clooney's character, Seth, in From Dusk til Dawn says the same line.
The soundtrack is a clear tribute to the music composed by Ennio Morricone for Sergio Leone's spaghetti western movies.
Due to overwhelming fan support and online protests, Mark Pellegrino was asked to return to play the role of 'Lucifer'.
This episode shows the return of a long lost and powerful item, The Colt.
This episode marks the first time we are told who or what Azazel really is: a prince of hell, or the second generation of demons created by Lucifer himself. We are also given all their names: Azazel, who is dead, Ramiel, who is killed in this episode, and Dagon and Asmodeus, both of whom are still alive as of this episode.
At a convention before this episode aired, Misha Collins (Castiel) talked about a scene in an episode directed by Richard Speight jr where he had to crawl on a muddy road. He said that during a take, he was waiting for Speight to yell cut, but, as a joke, he never did so he had to keep crawling and ended up going so deep into the mud that there were several inches of mud stuck to his trench coat and had to change between takes. In this episode, Castiel got injured and had to try and crawl away from Ramiel. Misha tweeted about this incident during the episode airing.
The song Lucifer sings at the end is part of the theme to the 1957 TV series "Colt.45" AKA "The Colt Cousins".
Besides the Reservoir Dogs homages, the episode also contains a Pulp Fiction reference. The first few times we are shown the case that Mary steals, only the lid is opened and a golden glow emits from the box but what is inside is not shown. This is very similar to the briefcase in Pulp Fiction which emits a golden glow when opened but the contents are never shown. The only difference in this is that we are eventually shown that the box contains the Colt.
When Ramiel returns home and Sam and Dean are waiting for him, he is whistling "la donna è mobile" which comes from the third act of Guiseppe Verdi's opera "Rigoletto". The story is about a man who accidentaly kills his own daughter and the song is about how inconsistent and unpredictable people can be. Kinda fits this episode as well: the Prince of Hell not caring about anything and just wanting to live a peaceful life (you wouldn't expect), Mary not giving what she stole from Ramiel when he asked for it AND lying to her sons about the mission, and how Crowley suddenly cares about Castiel's life.
The picture that hides the safe where the Colt is located is a depiction of the archangel Michael defeating Lucifer using his lance, which Ramiel wields throughout the episode.
