A sign in the town of Salvation says "Kubert's Barber Shop". Joe Kubert was an iconic artist for DC Comics best known for his work on Hawkman among others.
Albano Canyon is named after John Albano, one of the creators of Jonah Hex.
The title "The Magnificent Eight" is a play on title of the iconic The Magnificent Seven (1960) film.
Another sign in Salvation reads "KLEMMER & SONS Mercantile and Provisions". Phil Klemmer is one of the executive producers of Legends of Tomorrow.
This is the second live-action appearance of Jonah Hex after the film Jonah Hex (2010) starring Josh Brolin in the title role.
It is revealed that Rip named his son Jonas in honor of Jonah Hex.
When Kendra sips alcohol (probably supposed to be whisky), she grimaces and says: "tastes like gasoline". In the longest running CW show Supernatural, in the episode "Frontierland" (6.18, aired April 2011), lead characters Sam and Dean go back in time where they visit a saloon and Dean calls for whisky. He makes exactly the same remark.
A Wilhelm Scream can be heard during the bar fight at the beginning.
Rip Hunter uses the phrase, "What's past is prologue." He is quoting Prospero from the play The Tempest written by Shakespeare.
Johnathan Schaech, who plays Wild West bounty hunter Jonah Hex, also played Nevada Cooper in an episode of "The Adventures Of Brisco County Jr.", another Wild West bounty hunter.
The sick boy who appears to be Herbert George Wells (H.G. Wells) was a prolific English writer in many genres. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels, his most notable works include The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897) and The War of the Worlds (1898). The premise of the episode indicates that Wells' encounter with Rip and his team may have been the inspiration for the futuristic concepts of his novels.
The city of Salvation has a history with Jonah Hex in the comics.
In the comics the Pilgrim is a member of the Windstorm team, The Wetworks.
