As Sky Captain and Polly Perkins fly submerged with "The Amphibious Squadron", they "overfly" a sunken steamer named "Venture". It's the ship used to bring King Kong (1933) to New York City. It even includes, on its deck, a cage large enough to confine Kong; implying perhaps that this is the original Skull Island.
The "World of Tomorrow" portion of the title is a reference to the 1939-40 New York World's Fair, which was named "The World of Tomorrow".
While the project was still in early development, writer and director Kerry Conran originally wanted to produce it as if it were a lost serial from the 1930s, with the movie featuring unknown actors, shot in black-and-white, and divided into chapters, each ending with a cliffhanger. All of these ideas were subsequently abandoned in an attempt to gain bigger box-office appeal.
The Giant Robots that attack New York City are an homage to the "Superman" cartoon The Mechanical Monsters (1941). In both instances, the robots were remote controlled by radio signals.
When Polly is on the phone to her editor, reporting the advance of the giant robots, her line is "They're crossing Sixth Avenue... Fifth Avenue... they're a hundred yards away...". This is a direct lift from Ray Collins' lines in Orson Welles' "The War of the Worlds" broadcast of 1938 as Collins plays a reporter on the roof of "the Broadcast Building" reporting the advance of the Martian tripods.
"[last lines] [instead of taking a picture of the pods falling to Earth, Polly turns and snaps a shot of Joe] Joe 'Sky Captain' Sullivan: Polly... you... Polly Perkins: It's all right. You don't have to say anything. Joe 'Sky Captain' Sullivan: Lens cap."
"[after Dex unplugs the Telsa coils that previously electrocuted Dr. Kessler] Joe 'Sky Captain' Sullivan: Is it safe? Dex Dearborn: Well, there's only one way to find out. [Sky Captain and Polly cross the threshold together and are relieved to be unharmed] Dex Dearborn: I meant throw something."
