As well as referring back to Josh Brolin's past in The Goonies, Deadpool also tells Cable to "zip it Thanos" at one point during the film's climax.

17. Age Of Ultron

And to continue the Avengers theme, when he's fighting Juggernaut, Deadpool tries Black Widow's technique for calming down the Hulk by reciting the weird Joss Whedon approved mantra: "Hey big guy, the sun's getting real low..."

He doesn't get to complete it, obviously and it doesn't work. Even more inevitably.

16. The Karate Kid

Again, in the climax - after he turns up - Deadpool tries to convince Colossus that breaking the rules is sometimes necessary. And as he's setting him up to fight Juggernaut he tells him to fight dirty by saying it's "Time to sweep the leg, Jonny" in reference to the end of The Karate Kid.
