In the Hell's Kitchen sewer lab where the player has to rescue the smuggler's friend Ford Schick, there is a computer which can be hacked to find an e-mail regarding a company picnic. The e-mail is signed by a woman named "Harleen Quinzell", the real name of Batman's Harley Quinn. Her signature also includes the line, "A frown is just a smile turned upside down...", a line that would be fitting for the same character.

One of the e-mails on Paul Denton's computer in the 'Ton Hotel mentions the movies "Blue Harvest" and "See You Next Wednesday." "Blue Harvest" was the original working title of the Movie Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and "See You Next Wednesday" is a commonly used line in John Landis films.

Hidden in the game are a number of excerpts from real books. Among these books are "The Man Who was Thursday" by G.K. Chesterton (whose plot coincides with the plot of the game) and "The Eye of Argon " by Jim Thies (considered to be the worst Sci-fi genre book of all time).

According to Designer Harvey Smith, J.C. Denton is a descendant of Jesus Christ.
Deus Ex was released on June 26 2000 and is set in the year 2052. It has sections of the game where New York's skyline is visible, and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center are missing.
The Twin Towers exist in the game's data files, but were simply left out by mistake.
During development, the game's developers justified the lack of the towers by stating terrorists had destroyed the World Trade Center earlier in the game's storyline. This was over a year prior to the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks.
