Last update: January 01, 2019

» In the episode S02E01 - My africa (first part), the opening scene of the episode, the one in which Alessandro is on the ground, is a quote from the first episode of the first season of the TV series Lost. In Lost, Jack finds himself in the middle of the jungle, lied down, in a confused and disoriented state. Even Alessandro is lied on the ground in a confused state (due to the electric shock).The quote can be seen from 2 elements: the close up of the eye and the shot to the right where there's an animal. In Lost there's a dog, in Boris there's the tiger Bamba.

» In the episode S02E01 - My africa (first part), Corinna's arrival on the set has some similarities with a scene from the movie Titanic, that is the arrival of Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) at the port of Southampton before boarding the Titanic.

It's possible to see the similarities from some details: the classic car (Rolls Royce in Titanic, Lincoln Continental of 1961 in Boris), the framing of the hats (in both there is a bow) and the look of the 2 actresses.
