Easter Eggs
The Axe Scene
Stanley Kubrick’s famous 'Here's Johnny!' scene in The Shining is widely considered a direct visual homage to the scene in The Phantom Carriage where David Holm chops through a door to reach his wife and children.
Ingmar Bergman Cameo/Legacy
While not a literal cameo, Bergman cast Victor Sjöström as the lead in his 1957 film Wild Strawberries as a tribute to Sjöström's performance and influence in this film.
