22. Kevin Bacon & Footloose Mentions

In Guardians Of The Galaxy, Star-Lord mentions that he is a big Footloose and Kevin Bacon fan and mentions also that Bacon was a great hero who saved an entire town through only dance.

When Thor mentions the Avengers as "Earth's mightiest defenders," Mantis says "just like Kevin Bacon" calling back to Peter's accidental insistence that Bacon is a real-life hero.

Later, the dance-off that defeated Ronan is brought up and Peter Parker says "just like Footloose" as a second call back to the seminal 1980s classic.
