• Reunites Thandie Newton and Tessa Thompson who played sisters in the film For Colored Girls (2010).
• The repetitive three chord phrase often heard in the background music comes from the original movie, where it underscored the Gunslinger's slow but relentless pursuit of the hero.
• The series takes many cues from modern gaming (especially open world gaming) culture such as: side quests, non-player characters (the hosts) on a storyline loop, level difficulties (the further out you go the tougher the encounters), easter-eggs (one visitor uses the actual term), equipment upgrades (again specifically mentioned), and character selection (Jimmi Simpsin's preparation before entering the park). So too the guests encompass certain player styles such as Ed Harris as completionist.
• The use of the player piano throughout the series appears to reference Kurt Vonnegut's first novel (Player Piano) which describes a dystopian future in which almost every aspect of human life is automated. In his novel the protagonist rails against a life devoid of purpose or choice thanks to the ubiquity of machines. The reality outside the confines of Westworld has been alluded to as a similar world where the mundane daily tasks of life have been automated, and where there is no unemployment. However one of the guests complains that this has left a world where humans have "no agency".
• "Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead is also heard on the player piano.
