    Like I said: Stupid, obscure, and probably only due to my reference-obsessed mind.

    In one of the Predator books, which I read as a kid, the secondary protagonist refers to the primary protagonist (who is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character, though never explicitly referred to as such) as having thrown a crime lord off of the Chrysler building.

    That’s all. Not even a joke. Just the only cultural reference to the Chrysler building I could identify.

    I hope this isn’t a disappointment, but I appreciate you asking!
