After Will and Cornflake handcuff themselves to the classroom door, they begin chanting "Attica! Attica!" This is a nod to the film Dog Day Afternoon (1975) in which Al Pacino chants it at the police in protest. The chant itself refers to the Attica Prison riots of 1971, during which prisoners took over a prison in protest of poor treatment.
