When Chas and John are in the car being chased by demon dogs, Chas asks John if he can "magic them away". John answers: "Who the hell do you think I am? Benedict bloody Cumberbatch?" No doubt a reference to Cumberbatch's character Stephen Strange in the Marvel movie Doctor Strange. Strange is an accomplished sorcerer.
When John is opening all the doors to hell and threatening Nergal he asks for help and Constantine-like demons appear. The first one to appear exclaims: "Here's Johnny!" A reference to Stanley Kubrick's 1980 "The Shining".
