I just noticed a couple of things about that OSI intro video. The first is that the bit where an OSI agent executes a Sphynx henchman resembles a famous photograph by Eddie Adams depicting a Viet Cong officer being executed. Another scene near the end of the segment depicting a woman lighting a cigarette while posing on a pile of naked henchmen brings to mind Lynndie England and the whole Abu Ghraib scandal.

Rusty's "zero-gravity pen" that "writes in space" was probably inspired by the real-life Fisher Space Pen, in keeping with the decades-old inventions that populate the Venture Compound.
