When Russell is enjoying his evil streak during the rampage in the school, he says "Damn it feels good to be a gangsta", which is a lyric (and the title) from a classic Geto Boys song.

14. M-Day

On Russell's rampage through Essex House, there are posters bearing the motto "M-Day is Near!" - a reference to the comics moment when Scarlet Witch wishes all mutants out of existence. That's clearly what the baddy wants to happen to all of the mutants.

13. Annie

Classic Annie song "Tomorrow" plays while Deadpool sacrifices himself. The same music plays in the future scenes of Cable's family's death, mostly just for comic effect with Deadpool and poignancy in the future scenes.
